Denmark generated roughly 60% of its electricity from wind in 2025 — the highest share of any country on Earth — and it reached that milestone in an unusually low-wind year when its turbines actually ...
Denmark kept wind near 60 per cent of domestic generation in a low-wind year. Falling output, imports and a smaller denominator explain the apparent paradox.

The most tyrannical machines don't operate from the offices on high. They operate by turning you against your neighbor, your brother, your sister, your parents and children into snitches and informants, deputizing you into their doctrines of control. They can't cage us all. Fear none. Resist.

Women’s health care in America isn’t broken by accident. It was built inside systems that normalize women’s pain and politicize women’s bodies. Fixing it, in part, means centering women’s lived experiences. @laurenarankin.bsky.social with a very deep dive for our American Repair series

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a guy is running upstairs in a house, looking somewhat panicked. Panel 2: he opens the bedroom door. With a blank expression, he pauses. In his thought bubble, gears are turning. Panel 3: inquisitively, he thinks to himself, “why did I come upstairs again?” Behind him, crawling up the stairs in pursuit is a horrifying ghoulish monster with a long body and many legs.

1. Incredible breaking news and a landmark ruling out of Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that hospitals MUST not capitulate to Trump, and must continue offering trans youth care under state law. They found vague federal threats "speculative." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Say "yes way" to Norway Senja is absolutely gorgeous. #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday #ECK #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #photography #landscape #ArtYear #SensoryArt #flashback
A stunning fjord in Norway. Snow-covered mountains with sharp peaks meet the dark blue sea. There are high mountains on the right gradually getting lower as you move to the left. In the foreground, there's a rocky coast with some dead plants and utility poles. The sky is the perfect shade of blue with white fluffy clouds in the top left corner.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
