Good US did not elect Kamala Harris, so we avoided the 3rd world war. Thanks US.

I wonder when Trump will get tired of ałl his winning.

Heading back to Corn Land from Dairy Land after a day packed with very interesting research discussions

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

Time will not be nice to the Trump administration.

See you in Amsterdam summer 2027.

Prime Minister Carney speaks on the phone with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark.

A good call with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark today.

Greenland’s future is for Greenland and Denmark alone to decide. We reaffirmed our commitment to sovereignty and territorial integrity and discussed our ongoing work to strengthen Arctic security.

Last turbine on first commercial wind farm dismantled The last wind turbine of what was Ireland's first commercial wind farm at Bellacorick in Co Mayo has been dismantled.

Ireland has dismantled its first commercial wind farm to make way for a step-change in scale. Each new turbine generates more power than the entire 1992 Bellacorick site, illustrating how 3 decades of innovation have compressed land use while multiplying output. buff.ly/goiabIO

I have used a book co authored by Hillier in my teaching when I worked at Odense uni.

If my memory is correct then I had a brief chat with him at the Mosek booth at a Informs conference.

And as a life-long Atlanticist, such affirmations are painful.

And if UK were to have a nuclear deterrent, yes it should have been independent of the US.

“We have done so much for America”: Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan. Now, as Trump eyes Greenland, the families of fallen soldiers have a message for him, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports: theatln.tc/I8nGcxwO

Can NATO survive a war with Russia? — with Carlo Masala YouTube video by Anders Puck Nielsen

„As long as we are more afraid of administrative courts and accounting offices than of the Russian armed forces we won’t have a Zeitenwende”

Absolutely worth listening to this conversation between @anderspucknielsen.dk and @carlomasala1.bsky.social !

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Summer 2026 schools on artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and operations research The purpose of organizing this list is to help graduate students find a summer school to gain skills related to operations research. Why? Because students are often unaware of those, whereas facult…

Kicking off 2026, here is a new list of summer schools on artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and operations research:

Highly informative discussion.

But we bought F35s

So the recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize is bombing Venezuela.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

A fascinating view into the Russo Ukraine war. Highly recommended.

These 20 points look pretty good for Ukraine. The chance of Russia accepting this plan is zero. There is no indication that the negotiations have moved anywhere substantially in terms of ending the war.

Jette Albinus is one of the best military leaders I know. We are lucky to have her in charge of Multinational Division North in Latvia.

To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.

Not a soul would call that “winning.”

Nemlig.
