Relatively new refugee from x-Twitter.
I'm a Dane living north of Copenhagen.
I try to be kind and curious.
I'm interested in nature, climate, family, friends, science, music, books. I've travelled a lot in my professional life.
Now retired and a recent great grandfather.

It's a constant worry for me too.
But I'm sure he's driven by curiosity. Ad to that an exquisite sense of taste.

It was judged too difficult for the president to assemble, so he wasn't given one.

Tropical storm Melissa has reached the North Atlantic.
Pumping cold polar air to the British Islands and southern European warm air to Germany and southern Scandinavia.
So our turbines are spinning merrily.

It's amazing what can be achieved through fermentation.
People on the street were offered a chance to taste.
All said it tasted like the best chocolate ever.

Loyalty instead of qualifications seems to be the norm for being chosen in authoritarian regimes like the one Farage wants after the Trump model.

The chef cook at Alchemist restaurant Copenhagen Rasmus Munk has introduced non-chocolate chocolates made from beer waste. Diseases and climate change has made chocolate beans a very expensive raw material. The fermentation does the magic.

Chuckling and nodding.
I can mention a few other things that he doesn't understand, like who's paying the tariffs

One of the roles of an independent press is relentlessly to expose corrupt politicians, especially a corrupt president.

This model will be know as the before the vulgar destroyer got started.
I expect it to become a collector's favourite.
With 1,483 pieces it's way to complicated for the president to build, so no reason to give him one.

Seth Meyers must be doing something right, since the occupant of the White House is getting so upset.
Keep up the good work mr. Meyers. 👍

Oups. Forgot the headline

Henrik Larsen @henriklarsen.bsky.social · 4d

Quite a headline in my newspaper Politiken today.

"In Russian self-understanding the Russian people is not only the most important people in the world.
They have the right to destroy anything they don't like"

No wonder Trump admires Putin so much, they are so alike.

I got my shot four weeks ago. Also a Pfizer. Last year I was Modernazed.
All shots before that were Pfizer.
We also get the flu shots simultaneously.

I was a student at DTH at that time.
The youth then was very active politically.
I think we were inspired by what happened in France in 1968.

The first paths being cleaned after snowing in Copenhagen are the bike lanes.

Denmark has a treaty with the US since in place within the framework of NATO.
Denmark honours the agreements we have made.
We expect that the American government does the same thing.

What's is Trump talking about, when he says that the US should start testing atomic bombs, because other countries do it?
The last test was conducted in 2017 by North Korea. This test was the only one since 2006.
Apparently he does know history.
Another smoke screen for the declining economy?

Approximately 60% of Danish electricity comes from Wind.
Adding the 1GW offshore wind park named Thor in little over a year will bring this to 80%.
Adding solar we expect to cover 100% by 2030
But there's more to come.
P2X projects already installed and growing.

I'm sending you this in support of the installation of the wind farm that Trump stopped construction of.
I hope for all including the climate that it will be up and running soon.

This is for Trump.
A recent study reveals that energy costs in Britain has been reduced by 104 billon pounds the last 15 years because of wind power.
The Biden administration knew this and introduced the IRA which Trump rolled back to make Americans pay more.

In short
Trump can't be trusted.
As a consequence all countries need exit plans, just like Canada and other allies have set in motion. America under Trump is an unreliable trading partner.

Around the world languages developed.
With later migration like the Yamnaya people, language, farming techniques and burial traditions were spread to Europe approximately 5,000 years ago.
This was my pickups from yesterday's lectures.
Try listening in. You won't regret it.

Out of Africa migration has take place several times, but one particular group of approximately 100 genetically alike individuals with mixed genes seems to be the ancestors to all humans on the planet today. Genetic research indicates that this is the case.

Henrik Larsen @henriklarsen.bsky.social · 6d

Archeological findings shows how cultural interchange has taken place.
The finding of human Y chromosomes and female mitochondria in Neanderthal and vice versa suggest that mixed individuals were accepted and were fertile
WE ALL CARRY NEANDERTHAL GENES.
1,5-3,0% of our genes comes from Neanderthals
