Oh Clucking Bell

@Harveycuthbert3 @TheVikingDane Ehm, roe is eggs so pretty much the opposite… though speaking of that: nordicsweets.dk/products/spunk…

@TheVikingDane Fish spunk? 🤢

I dont know why but I have a craving for cod roe on bread. I used to love it in the 70s and 80s. Do people still eat it. I love it. With lemon and remoulade (which is similar to tartar sauce)

@latsot @MPMacLachlan @LGBwiththeT The thing is: when provided, the evidence, the peer-reviewed papers and the rest are dismissed without any reflection. We can call that lack of critical thinking but imho it goes deeper to a sort of virtue of remaining ‘pure’ of any ‘tainted’ knowledge.

I agree that the objection is ideological, but I do think it's partly due to a loss of critical thinking skills. How many people have you spoken to in the last decade who cite the names of fallacies without understanding them? Or who demand peer-reviewed papers without understanding peer-review or how papers are written or - most importantly - how evidence actually works? It's a hugely lost skill.

Load of cobblers. Each individual in the trial was matched (i.e. age, sex, location) with FOUR controls to ensure the baseline risk was as similar as possible to the cases. Moral: don't rely on AI. Read the bloody thing or get someone to help you @LGBwiththeT

@latsot @MPMacLachlan @LGBwiththeT The force-teaming people do not lack critical thinking (or rather, they probably do but that’s not the problem here). Their reaction to the Finish study is not in good faith but rather about shamelessly twisting the facts to fit their preferred cultish viewpoint.

I think we've lost two very essential things in the last ten years or so. And I mean institutionally and societally lost to the extent that it isn't clear how organisations and societies are going to get them back: Critical thinking and safeguarding. When organisations lose key people who uphold standards they inevitably forget both how to do important things and how to learn. And it's exactly those people who were fired for transphobia. In the UK, at least, some sanity is returning. But so many organisations just aren't equipped to implement the law in a sensible fashion or to learn what is actually needed. The other week in Darlington the council voted down a motion that maybe they should *obey the law*. A few days later the Tees Valley Mayor (whose remit includes Darlington) overruled that, saying that all council services should obey the law. That's great! But.... nothing has been repaired. Nothing has been remembered. No relearning has been done. It really worries me.

@ConnorNoro Don’t you dare speak for lesbian women. Stay in your lane and don’t use lesbians for your point scoring! You know what is disgusting? That the new homo rights fight is the same as the old homo rights fight: gay men steamrolling over lesbians and claiming to speak on their behalf.

Vaginas are disgusting and look like a rotten open wound to gay men, and penises are disgusting and look like an alien monster to lesbians, if this fact makes you upset then you're just homophobic!

@alvinfoo She was roundly derided (and de facto dropped from the national team) when she shilled for the slave regime in Qatar and she and her siblings co-own a shop that’s repeatedly been cited for a litany of violations including fraud. Some role model 🙄

She is Nadia Nadim. She was born in Afghanistan. Her father was killed by the Taliban when she was 11 and her family fled to Denmark in the back of a truck. Nadia has scored nearly 200 goals in professional football and represented the Danish national team on 98 occasions. She has finished medical school and is studying to become a reconstructive surgeon when her playing days are over. She speaks 11 languages fluently and is on the Forbes list of the most powerful women in international sports. If you want to show your daughter a role model, show Nadia Nadim.

@dortetoft Hm, foragten er der også hos DR men de er mere subtile. Overskriften på deres dækning var at en atlet havde ‘ondt i maven’. Først langt nede i artiklen fremgik det at atleten gik ind for tiltaget men havde medfølelse med at det kunne være hårdt for nogen at få et ‘uventet’ svar.

Nok jokker DR også i spinaten som budbringer af transidelogiske besværgelse (I børne-tv fortælles fx at piger kan have penis), men jeg kan ikke forestille mig, at NRK-sportsjournalistens foragt for kvinders ret til egen sport ville have en chance i DR. nrk.no/sport/ioc-og-k…

IOC's beslutning om, at kvindesport kun er for kvinder, får NRK-sportsjournalist op i det røde felt. Uretfærdigt. Uværdigt, etc. Manden under ikke kvinder egen sport. Skræmmende at en Public Service-station offentliggør en så transidelogisk, biologi-benægtende mands rablen. 1/2

@PeterLi79204441 @seatsixtyone You have not had the misfortune of travelling on the old cars they have used until now. Last year, I boarded one to find that my reserved seat had no seat cushion… and no back. Oh, and the carpet in the car let out a small mushroom cloud of dust at every step.

@seatsixtyone "new trains built by Talgo" - is it not more economical to use old cars? Save on cost - cut ticket prices... or no does not work?

A quick (well, fairly) zip up to Hamburg for a chance to inspect DSB’s new Hamburg-Copenhagen trains built by Talgo…

@BertilFruelund Ja, det hedder en amagermad, det er ikke kun i Aalborg og jeg har endda set en københavner gøre det engang. Lev med det.

Jeg noterer mig, at Mette F til morgenmad i 'Højskolen' laver en rugbrødsklapsammen med ost, placerer den oven på en halv bolle for så at spise det hele som én mad. Altså en form for ostemadsmad. Er det noget man gør i Ålborg eller er det en form for glitch in the Matrix?

@Hippopompous @Nottingham67 Looks like lun leverpostej with champignon, bacon and surt in a flat-pack Ikea version for self-assembly. Actually I admire the courage when a non-Dane tries to eat leverpostej.

@Nottingham67 What in the world of Danish Lunch Dishes did they serve you there 🫣🫢

Well, Copenhagen certainly didn’t disappoint!! What a place - definitely going to come back for a longer stay 🇩🇰 ❤️

@Owie39Rob @jan_murray You just illustrated the point of the post excellently. Congratulations on being a churlish mansplainer. Being a mum (or dad) IS work. It takes time, strength, patience. Being a labour of love and ‘part of life’ does not erase that IT IS labour - and often exhausting.

@jan_murray I don't want to be a nit picker...but being a mother or a father...or a son or daughter wife or husband ....isn't a 'job'. It's just part of life & hopefully a very happy one

I keep thinking about a post I shared recently. In it, I mentioned the bliss of having breakfast alone in a hotel - at a time in my life when I’d usually have had a small child with me. Which might have meant, among other things, cutting their food up while trying to drink a cup of coffee before it went cold. Someone commented that helping a child eat their breakfast was a “first world problem.” And people liked that comment. There was something about that casual dismissal of motherhood that stuck with me. Because while motherhood is the greatest joy of my life - and sadly I’ve only been able to have one child - it’s also the hardest job I’ve ever done. And one you never get to retire from. My daughter is living away from home right now, and I still sometimes wake in the night, go to the loo, and panic for a second because her room is empty. I’m also the person she doesn’t think twice about calling at any time of the day or night when she needs someone to talk to. One of the hardest moments of my breast cancer experience was having my mum in the room during my mammogram callback appointment. Watching her face as the doctor kept returning to the same spot, frowning, counting enlarged lymph nodes on the ultrasound screen before taking a biopsy from under my arm there and then. It was painful to watch because I knew exactly what she was thinking. If it had been my daughter lying there, I would have swapped places with her in a heartbeat. And I knew my mum was thinking the same thing. Of course none of this takes away from the role fathers play. Many are wonderful parents and bring things to their children’s lives that mothers can’t. But there is also something uniquely powerful about the bond between a mother and her child. In the early years - even when we have a male partner, and regardless of whether we also work - mothers still tend to do the lion’s share of the wiping, soothing, feeding, cleaning scraped knees and drying tears. Partly because we have to (and want to). But also because our children want us to. There is something primeval about the bond between mother and child. When I looked at the profile of the man who left the comment, I noticed he appeared to have a disability. While I couldn’t know the specifics, I wondered if the remark came from reflecting on his own need for help. But even if it had, would that make the dismissal of the role mothers play in society sting any less? Especially at a time when women are increasingly being erased from the language used in healthcare and in public life - reduced to “pregnant people” or “birthing person”. And while this post isn’t about one individual (comments like this are common enough) it’s worth remembering that some mothers never stop providing the kind of practical care people casually dismiss - cutting up food, helping with toileting, offering physical support. Mothers of disabled children often do these things for an entire lifetime. Some of the most chilling messages I receive as someone who speaks up for women’s sex-based rights come from mothers who say: “Thank you for speaking up for my disabled daughter’s right to same-sex personal care. I’m terrified she’ll have no one to advocate for her when I’m gone.” So yes - sometimes motherhood means cutting up someone’s food. And that’s significant. Not because it’s difficult or because you begrudge doing it. But because it captures something essential about motherhood: you’re never really off duty. And if you occasionally get five quiet minutes to finish your breakfast while it’s still hot, it’s still a very small return on a lifetime of care.

@dortetoft Jeg er skeptisk når jeg ser et produkt fra en startup som lover nærmest fantastisk performance og begrunder det med AI og ‘novel physics’. Lad dem vise en fuldt uafhængig test, eller 12, og så kan det være jeg skifter mening.

Aflytning af dig - via din mobil, AI-briller, dimsen hist og pist etc. etc. Modtræk? En dims. Jeg ved ikke, hvor meget luft eller snyd, der er i dette, men interessant og sjov tråd.

@MagneticNorse Firstly, that is NOT the DNCO but ‘just’ the Danish Chamber Orchestra. There are two orchestra with very similar names in English (Kongelige Kapel vs Underholdningsorkesteret, in Danish). Secondly, out the full clip on utube, it’s much better.

The man-bunned, crying bassoonist got me 😂 This is the Danish National Chamber Orchestra in 2014 Could you do your job after a ghost pepper?

@CharlotteBirk Det er en fake fra en satirekonto - selvom jeg må indrømme at jeg lige skulle se efter en ekstra gang. Det ville være totalt on brand for den underfrankerede kvindehader.

Shit hvor er det et dumt take.

@dortetoft Det er jo lettere for dem at hoppe med på mænds rettigheder, og få den dejlige selvhellige følelse, end at skulle gøre noget reelt for kvinders rettigheder. De kunne jo risikere at skulle forholde sig til adgang til abort i Polen og Malta, til kønnet vold eller til Afganistan.

Europarådet er forunderligt stupidt. Ser mænd med kromosomvariant som kvinde, ser transkvinder, altså mænd, der har "skiftet" køn, som kvinder. Menneskerettigheder er men's rights hos rådet. Kvinder har ingen ret til at være fri for mandekroppe, hverken hvor sårbare eller i sport

@wunkussy @Mercian_Man @Okzidentalismus Pretty common in some sectors. Most companies working cross-border and remote use English as their corporate language. I have worked with colleagues located from Portugal to Poland in the same company. We had 18 nationalities in the team at one point. That’s modern Europe.

@Mercian_Man @Okzidentalismus How common is that in Europe? To work remotely for a company in another EU country but not speaking their language?

Was in a work call with a Danish company today, said thank you in Danish to the person I was on a call with. “That’s Danish. I’m Dutch.”

@kleemann397861 @OleJoergensen @clausmat1 Det er dig der der kommer med påstande om lægemangel i bydgerne. Jeg beder dig om at forholde dig til hvad en realistisk løsning er og du taler bare udenom. Grønland hjemtog sundhedsvæsnet i 1992 så det er Nuuk du skal brokke dig til. Du er ikke værd at spilde tid på.

@wassadamo @OleJoergensen @clausmat1 Jeg konstaterer blot at man ikke lever op til de forpligtelser der kom da man indlemmede Grønland i kongeriget i 1953. Du bidrager med intet

Jeg bliver lidt pikeret af et interview med en kvinde, som er lærer i Kapisillit i Grønland. Hun beklager sig over, at man ikke kan at få fat i en sygeplejerske/læge. Derfor vil hun da gerne se et hospitalsskib. Bygden har ca. 50 indbyggere. Hvor i Danmark har man den service?

@kleemann397861 @OleJoergensen @clausmat1 Og du svarer igen ikke: hvad mener du er realistisk i bygderne? Hvordan kommer du frem til at der IKKE er adgang til basal sundhedsvæsen når der netop er en sygeplejeske, adgang til telekonsultation og akuttransport? Hvad mener du er det realistiske niveau? En læge i hver bygd?

@wassadamo @OleJoergensen @clausmat1 Der mangler et sundhedsvæsen både i bygderne og problemet er også i byerne.. er det så svært at forstå at der er tusindevis af folk der ikke har adgang til basal sundhedvæsen ?

@kleemann397861 @OleJoergensen @clausmat1 *whooosh*…og så blev målstolperne da ellers lige flyttet: Du krævede at ‘adgangen til behandling skal være realistisk’. Hvad er det du mener der skal til i dette eksempel? Og for god orden skyld: De 120 læger mangler jo ikke ude i bydger med 50 mennesker - de mangler i byerne.

@wassadamo @OleJoergensen @clausmat1 Jeg mener at det er for galt at der netop mangler 120 læger i det grønlandske. Amerikanerne rammer et ømt punkt hvor der er et reelt problem Med folkesundheden i Grønland. Vi bor jo i dette.

@kleemann397861 @OleJoergensen @clausmat1 Og hvad mener du at er ‘realistisk’ for en bygd på 50, 2 timer fra Nuuk med båd. Altså ud over at de har et servicehus med sygeplejeske og mulighed for IT konsultation med hospitalet i Nuuk og Riget i Kbh og helikoptertransport hvis der sker noget akut? Hvad mere skal de have?

@OleJoergensen @clausmat1 Pointen er ikke, at alle specialer skal ligge lokalt. Pointen er, at adgangen til behandling skal være realistisk.. amerikanerne har altså ramt et ømt punkt hvor rigsfællesskabet og den nordiske model slet ikke lever op til sit ry.

@gummistoevle @DSUAlexander @SchaldemoseMEP @NielsFuglsang @MarianneVind Der er to køn hvilket er fundamental for bøsser og lesbiske. Transbevægelsen er uden sammenligning den mest homofobe samling ekstremister jeg nogensinde har mødt. Hvis man tror på kønnede sjæle, og at de er kernen i tiltrækning, så findes homoseksualitet ikke mere.

@DSUAlexander @SchaldemoseMEP @NielsFuglsang @MarianneVind Fordi køn er nemlig ligeså komplekst som flamingoer og grydelåg. Meld dig nu bare ind i DF i stedet.

Jeg håber virkeligt ikke at @SchaldemoseMEP, @NielsFuglsang eller @MarianneVind har stemt for det her. Uanset hvor meget at jeg en dag føler mig som en flamingo eller et grydelåg, så gør det ikke, at det er sandt. Det er en hån mod os LGBT-personer, at EP stemmer for det her.
