Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

BP plans to spend $10bn a year on producing more oil and gas, slash its spending on renewable energy, and sell $20bn of assets, under pressure from activist investor Elliott Management. www.ft.com/content/8bcf...

Nuuk flager for Ukraine.

Ganske fornuftige ord fra @radikale.dk. www.altinget.dk/miljoe/artik...

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Just America & Israel voting with Russia, Iran, North Korea... ...against Ukraine.

For me, the decline of Whatsapp traffic and the rise of Signal traffic have now crossed each other. Today, I received Whatsapp messages from 5 different individuals/groups, and Signal messages from 7. (Yes, I know, it's probably pathetic to only get apps from 12 different sides on an entire day ;)

Fantastic update of @beeper.com iOS and Desktop! Wouldn't want to miss the luxury anymore of using only one chat app for all the networks. Living the dream of client-side #interoperability based on @matrix.org. blog.beeper.com/2025/02/24/t...

Simultaneously the dumbest and most dangerous shit you’ve ever heard. Like the plot of a comic book aimed at nine year olds.

If any of you had been informed that the situation would be what it is today after three years of full-scale war, you would have viewed it as a significant russian failure and a Ukrainian victory

The US Digital Service (USDS) - now the US DOGE Service - is being weaponized by the Trump administration to target career federal employees, dismantle safeguards, and enable corruption. 👀 Read more on our site. 🔗 wethebuilders.org #DefendDemocracy #SaveOurServices #AltUSDS #fedworkers

Had good exchanges on the phone this weekend with Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer. We discussed our unflinching support to Ukraine, financially and militarily. We shared updates on our contacts with US partners and discussed plans for the defence and security of our continent.

Ønsker et godt valg til vores tyske naboer i dag 🇩🇪 Valgets resultat er måske til at spå, men marginalerne bliver afgørende for den regering, der skal dannes på bagefter. Måtte Tyskland træde ud af sin fastlåste situation og igen tage roret i det europæiske samarbejde. Vi har brug for det. #dkpol

Volkswagen is now selling 4x as many EVs in Europe as Tesla is. Tesla is fifth in a sector it used to dominate

“I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Stephen Fry

CPAC Pyongyang

This is how it’s done.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

Europe can fairly easily replace American military support for Ukraine, but it will require massive investments to replace U.S. in NATO. Interesting assessments from @kiel.institute. www.ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Da...

Elon Musk lyver i bedste sendetid om “strandede astronauter”. ⬇️ Andreas Mogensen afslører løgn. ⬇️ Musk får en nedsmeltning og kalder A.M. for retarderet. ⬇️ Amerikanske astronauter forsvarer A.M. ⬇️ Musk får ny nedsmeltning, nu over amerikanske astronauter. USA er blevet et galehus.

Bezuhla is a controversial MP from Ukraine who is known for her cricisms of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, as you can see, the orange idiot has united Ukraine.

Welcome to Bluesky EU Agency For Railways @erarailways.bsky.social The folks at the Agency in Valenciennes do the hard, often thankless work, getting Europe's railways to function a little better

Det er ikke cancel culture, når højrefløjen gør det

Having to give a lecture today on "greenwashing" on short notice. Excellent reminder of amount of fascinating, necessary work on this topic, including by @desmog.bsky.social and @emorwee.bsky.social Fantastic example on links between Ad/PR industry and fossil fuels: www.desmog.com/2025/02/10/a...

European stocks outpace Wall Street since Donald Trump took office - @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/3436...

It’s no exaggeration to say that overweight Americans are a substantial reason Denmark will be able to mobilize massive public defence investments in the coming years. Funny how that works.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This post will be quoted everywhere, and I hope journalists will remember to fact check the numbers. U.S. didn't even spend half the amount that Trump claims, and in fact Europe spent more than U.S.

www.berlingske.dk/internationa... Manden der mente, at Europa ikke burde begrænse ytringsfriheden siger nu, at man ikke må ytre sig kritisk om Trump i medierne🤷‍♀️

En ting er at politikere siger en masse populistisk faktuelt vrøvl. Men man overskrider en meget kedelig grænse 👇når man angriber uvildige forskere for at “foreslå” noget, som åbenlyst ikke er et “forslag”, men en biologisk vurdering. Det er ikke i orden Asger 👎👎👎 #dknatur #dkpol #trump #populisme

Anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy becomes new secretary of health. A week later: CDC pulls a flu vaccine-campaign in the midst of a brutal flu season where over 50,000 patients were admitted to hospitals for influenza during the week ending Feb. 8, the highest level in 15 years. tinyurl.com/yw8a9ah5

Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament of Estonia 👇

How’s this prediction going so far?

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs. This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

Hvis Rusland, USA og Saudi-Arabien ønsker en fredsaftale kan de bare stoppe for forsyningerne af olie, gas og kul til EU i morgen. Det er jo problemet, når 58% af vores energiforbrug i 2023 er baseret på import fra udenfor EU. Løsning: grøn energi og elektrificering, hurtigt!

There is an irony in U.S. thinking that Europe doesn't need to be at the table because they don't contribute enough, but also thinking that the U.S. will continue to have influence without making commitments. (Quote below is by Ben Wallace.)
