Ja, godt at se. Det har åbenbart givet en masse forvirring hos russerne, at Elon Musk har lukket ned for deres brug af Starlink www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/03/10/1...

🎥WHO PLACED THE BET?
Someone just made a killing with an extraordinarily well-timed bet on financial markets, minutes before Donald Trump's announcement of war talks yesterday.
Was it luck, or inside information?
Either way... someone just got rich.

FOUR GRAPHS ABOUT 🇩🇰'S GENERAL ELECTION
My read of the election in four graphs. First: big urban-rural divide. The two big mainstream parties, Social Democrats and Liberals, are now mainly rural/suburban, with niche parties dominating in cities. (1/4) #polisky

29 years of #rstats community knowledge was sitting in hard-to-search pipermail archives. So I built a more modern home for it.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin vinder Oscar for bedste dokumentarfilm. Se den på DR TV www.dr.dk/drtv/serie/m...
Den er baseret på partiernes faktiske handlinger og ikke blot løfter, men traditionelle kandidattests har også deres berettigelse.
Jeg delte denne, da den er mindre kendt end kandidattest fra DR, TV2 etc.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

Young men lean right by 50 points

Young women lean left by 22 points
(58% centre-left vs 36% cons)
Economic uncertainty update:
The thing about veering wildly between policy positions, favouring and then discarding a new maverick advisor each week, and using contradictory justifications at every turn, is that even if one particular pivot is in the direction of sanity, chaos is the constant.
New consumer sentiment data just out for April:
Americans’ expectations for how the economy will fare over the next year are now at their worst in 45 years.
Consumer confidence is down 40% since Trump’s inauguration, including a 20% drop among Republicans.
NEW 🧵
The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.

NEW 🧵
A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.
ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 website, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including raw polls, averages, model estimates & story dta. Totally unacceptable for a company (allegedly) doing journalism
