I get Danish, European, and some American content with the 'For You' feed. Love it — it should replace Discover! 💯

Presse, der dækker amerikansk militær, er blevet bedt om at skrive under på kun at publicere indhold godkendt af Pentagon (læs: pressemeddelelser). Det kan ikke tolkes som andet end et kvasiautoritært forsøg på at afvikle den kritiske journalistik. Dybt godnat. Godt at se en kollektiv afvisning.

Claes de Vreese @claesdevreese.bsky.social · 1d

Good to see.

New York Times, CNN, the Atlantic, the Guardian, Washington Post, Reuters, the Associated Press, NPR, HuffPost.

All not signing the Pentagon rules to report only official information.

US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information

Defense department policy requires outlets to vow not to obtain unauthorized files and restricts access to some areas

🌍 Carbon offsets largely fail to cut emissions

A 25-year review found most carbon offset schemes do not reduce global heating, with systemic flaws like double counting and temporary projects undermining real progress.

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says

Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

Rørende at se israelske og palæstinensiske familier tage imod deres kære. Et skridt væk fra rædslerne og henimod freden. Men situationen er skrøbelig. Vigtigere end nogensinde, at DK og EU fastholder presset, bistår med nødhjælp og stopper de ulovlige bosættelser for at sikre varig løsning #dkpol

Strip out London, and Britain’s GDP per capita is just 3% larger than Poland’s 🤯

🇵🇱 My @thetimes column: Poland’s economic miracle

12 out of 17 Polish regions are now richer than West Wales. It has faster internet, cheaper electricity and more high speed rail than Britain

When it comes to regional development it’s the UK, not Poland, that needs to catch up

European Commission @ec.europa.eu · 4d

The numbers of electric vehicles sold in Europe in 2024 are in:

⚡ 1.45 million new battery-only EVs registered
📈 +32% growth in the total electric fleet
🔋 13.6% of all new car registrations are electric

Europe is going full throttle to a clean future.

link.europa.eu/cNKjkh

A color-coded map of Europe titled "Share of electric vehicles sold in each EU country in 2024," showing the share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as a percentage of total new passenger car registrations. The EU average is 13.5%. Countries with the highest shares (>20%, darkest shade) include Sweden (35%), Netherlands (34.5%), Finland (29.5%), Luxembourg (27.4%), Belgium (28%), and Denmark (51%). Other countries like France (16.5%), Portugal (19.9%), and Austria (17.5%) are also in the <20% range. Several Eastern and Southern European countries (including Italy, Spain, Poland, and Czechia) have shares below 10% (the lightest shades).

Der er helt sikkert planter i en planteburger, men der er...

Ingen hund i hotdogs,
Ingen skinke i hamburgers,
Ingen bøffel i buffalo wings og

Ingen logik i navneforbud mod plantebaserede varianter af kendte fødevarer, udover benspænd for nye plantebaserede fødevarer

Parlamentet og den store højrefløj vedtager, at ord som plantepølse og veggieburger skal være forbudte. De siger altid at de vil have færre regler - hvorfor skal de så lege sprogpoliti? Den sunde fornuft og reel klimalovhandling har tabt i dag.

Helt sort at et flertal i EP vil lovgive om, at helt almindelige produktnavne som burger og pølse SKAL indeholde kød. Svært at se som andet end et benspænd for plantebaserede varianter af forskellige fødevaretyper, og et totalt misforstået hensyn til europæiske forbrugere og landmænd #dkgreen #eudk

Plantebøffer må ikke længere hedde plantebøffer. I hvert fald hvis det står til Europa-Parlamentet

Stor uenighed i Europa-Parlamentet, hvor man i dag har stemt for at begrænse udtryk som plantebøffer- og pølser om produkter uden kød.

Kloge ord fra statsministeren om demokratiet: Folk og folkevalgte må sige fra over for chikane og polarisering. Til gengæld var talen blottet for ansvar ift. klima og natur. Skal vi vinde vores egen fremtid, haster det med et farvel til sort energi og forurening af hav og drikkevand #dkpol

George Monbiot on Steven Pinker’s book Enlightenment Now: “Under-researched and over-claiming, deferring to authority rather than data, sloppy and derivative, Pinker insults the Enlightenment principles he claims to defend”

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · Sep 11

Tell me about it. I've had his number for a while, on other matters: www.monbiot.com/2018/03/09/c...

Contrary to Reason

Steven Pinker claims to champion Enlightenment values. But his latest book is an affront to them
