What makes me the most proud of my country Denmark, is our switch away from burning coal to now harnessing wind and solar energy.

Look at how much coal was burned 10 years ago (black color), and how much less we are burning now, because solar (yellow color) and wind (two top green colors) have taken over in the Danish electric power generation.

Given that it’s May 4th, I suppose I should give this its annual airing.

Three big political parties in Germany, Social-Democratic SPD, the Green and the Left Party coordinated to #LeaveTwitter today.

Here's the SPD farewell message on Twitter, translation by me:

X has descended into chaos in recent years. Political debates thrive on dialogue that reaches and informs people. X, on the other hand, is increasingly promoting misinformation. That is why we are no longer posting to this account.

As some of you have already guessed: the progressive parties in German politics (and the social democrats 😉) have jointly decided to leave the manipulative and abusive cesspit that twitter has turned into. I‘m very happy and also a little proud of this.
If you want want to do me a favor, be ready to welcome an influx of mildly woke people.

Delighted to report that Amazon has abandoned its plans to build a datacenter here.

The "lease-and-equip" model they're switching to is a lot easier to get rid of, when we eventually kick these digital imperialists out altogether.

I'll raise a sovereign glass of fresh water to that.
