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.

This just to remind people of America that a president can get the Nobel peace prize.

Threatening neighbours and close allies.
Declaring trade war with the world.
Cutting aid to millions of people.
Being a bully in everything he does.
Ignoring climate change and deliberately increasing emissions.
Definitely a man of peace love and understanding.

Congratulation Maria Corina Machado.
Trump will still be a candidate for the 2026 peace price.
It requires that he can convince his sycophants to nominate him again.
Invading Panama, Canada, Greenland and other countries for another year is probably wise too.
Reopening USAID would help too.

So in less than 3 hours the Norwegian Nobel committee will announce who wins the peace award.
Of course Trump won't win it.
A person cutting aid to millions of people overnight, leaving people who relied on that aid in a desperate situation is not worthy.

Presidents threatening other countries with military intervention can never get the Nobel Peace price.
It's as simple as that.

Henrik Larsen @henriklarsen.bsky.social · 1d

But on Friday is Trump's biggiest chance to get a prize.
Ending many wars in just one day and especially the Cambodian-Armenian war so beautiful. The most beautiful peace deal ever in the history of mankind.

The biker supporter of Trump Chris Cox has been made special adviser for Homeland security.
According to Boasen, the prime supporter of Trump in Greenland, Cox was scared when visiting Greenland in March. Especially the little girl with sign.
This from my newspaper Politiken in Danish.

Breaking news.
Trump didn't get the Nobel Price in physics either.
His extensive research in how to win golf matches was beaten by 3 physicists who in the 1980s laid the foundation for developing the quantum computers.

🇩🇰 Denmark has become the first EU country to ban all #PFAS-based pesticides shown to break down into TFA, suspected of being toxic to reproduction.

🚫 This totals 33 PFAS-pesticides banned by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.

So the "still not arrived in Denmark appointed ambassador" Ken Howery bought his ambassadorship just like Carla Sands, the former disaster ambassador in Trump's first period.

This is unconstitutional misuse of power.
An impeachable offence in most democracies.
In authoritarian countries this happens daily and the people are powerless to prevent it.
In America the Supreme Court is the last defence of democracy, but sadly a majority of judges are owned by the president.

I understand that Trump is so sad, because he didn't get the Nobel prize for the discovery of using bleach in treatment of Covid and the discovery of cancer caused by wind turbines.
Next chance will be the Physics price today, where he made great discoveries in making his golf ball finding the hole

Hacking is a sport. 🤣
I didn't know until yesterday when I learned that a Danish team won the Google Hackceler8 competition finals in Mexico.
Congratulations to Team Kalmarunionen.
Well done team.
I wonder if it's possible to hack Russian drone and missile guiding systems.

Good to see you here at BlueSky
So you're visiting, or have you returned permanently?

My library just established a reading group, exclusively reading books that are banned in the US and other countries.
You can see the Danish titles of the books below.

A no cost system, that includes free transport to Copenhagen for treatment in highly specialised cases.
Of course including free home transport 😊

If Trump wasn't so stubborn on implementing renewable energy, the US companies could be part in this development of renewable technologies and have a huge home market. Millions of Americans could find work in these companies working with clean energy.
But he chose polluting the air Americans breathe

The future of renewable electricity is here.
85-97% of electricity in Denmark comes from renewable sources.
This will grow in the coming years, as new wind and solar plants are constructed.
Here's fine explanation about the role of mega heat pumps use in district heating.
