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 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.

A brick wall with a painting portraying Trump as a poop blocking a butt. He is saying "constipation nobody does it better than me!"

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.

It is. Just like in Denmark.
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.

The media are scared to speak up.
So is the Republican Party, who has the power to stop this madness here and now.
The Supreme Court has the power too, but is owned by Trump.
So this will go on and on and on.

Hungary is the largest receiver of aid from the EU.
It's financing a corrupt government, that suppresses the courts and free press.
It's time that the EU holds Hungary accountable for upholding the charter, Hungary signed when joining the EU.

👏 The Danish Environmental Protection Agency has withdrawn the approval of 8 more #pesticides that contain #PFAS active substances. They can form and leach #TFA into the groundwater. Pesticides approved for use in 🇩🇰 must not pose a risk to groundwater.
