Hostility towards #academia and #immigrants is widespread. #Denmark is no exception. Under political and media pressure, earlier this week @roskildeuni.bsky.social decided overnight to close its Master's degree in Business Administration and Leadership (BAL) from 2026. 🧶 1/20

When I started building this site some months back we had 200 actions logged. I’d no idea it would grow this fast. So much so I might have to rework it again to cope! Worth every keystroke to document this mess he’s creating. Hats off to @chrischirp.bsky.social for all she’s doing, proud to help

In the context of epistemic iteration, I have been thinking about the metaphor of cartography: diverse maps, often "wrong", but useful to start exploring, leading to new maps embedded in the practice of use (and often still "wrong" post hoc). Is there any good reading on the hist and philo of maps?

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

While we’re all thinking about Denmark and USA: here’s a fact little known except by global health nerds. For a while life expectancy in Denmark was as poor as USA. Investigations showed excess deaths, related to lifestyle, of people in 40s and 50s. Public health measures led to improvements.
Graph illustration changes. 1960 Denmark well ahead, 1985-2005 about the same. 2005 and beyond Denmark increasingly ahead.
