@Tarnport Wonderful

@tanyakaroli Tak for en super og fascinerende serie. Jeg har binge-lyttet til dem alle sammen.

In 2025, 500 people reported ’romance scam’ crimes to the Danish police. Total stolen: 20 million kr. (€2.7m)

The true number of crimes is assumed to be much, much higher because many feel too ashamed to report it.

"We shouldn't mock or laugh at the victims. The techniques are difficult to see through. These are professionals.

If you’re involved in a romantic affair online, tell other people. It may be easier for them to spot if it’s a swindle."

“There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. It's natural to want more love in your life. The techniques they use are hard to see through. Feelings of guilt or shame? No. These are professionals.”

Ordet Fanger. ’Captured by the word.’ Come for the fascinating insight into forensic linguistics, stay for the empathy. Great podcast. Great the way hosts @tanyakaroli & Jannie Aagard speak out against victim-blaming & shaming and stick up for the victims of ’romance scams’.

@martinodder Tak i lige måde

@dutypo Morgen

@oheso @MamaLake Auld Lang Syne is played to signal Store Closing in Japan - that is amazing and unexpected new information to me. I am very pleased to know this - thanks for sharing it.

It is Monday. And so it goes. Glædelig mandag. Here's a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you kindly.

@pete Great photo. The light! And the wind, I can almost see it.

@thibaut Stunning

@Gogs @Nickiquote What was the owl doing at a council meeting in the first place, is what I'd like to know.

@syrovy @Nickiquote Perhaps! One never knows.

@NellytheWillow @EregLoch @Nickiquote Ah, ok. I didn't know that reference, so had no context, so was lost.

@antoinnesterk @Nickiquote

@munin Agreed! And good on Mayo County Council for making a decision based on the merits and facts. Local authorities always should, of course, but generative AI data centre facilities seem to have made even sensible politicians and public officials lose their faculties.

@EregLoch I amn't sure what you mean. If you are asking about the phrase: it is a satirical phrase from Private Eye magazine that has become a phrase in general culture when pretending to allude to dark secrets and conspiracies being hidden from ius.

@Nickiquote

@Nickiquote I think we should be told

"A West of Ireland data center objected to by novelist Sally Rooney had its planning permission overturned on the grounds that it breaches Irish national climate policy.

Rooney lodged an objection in January, writing to Mayo County Council that permission for the centre would increase carbon emissions, cause risk of blackouts, and that “climate change represents an immediate & unprecedented threat to our way of life in Mayo and the future of human life round the world.”
