A pretty interesting point on the situation.

There are in fact quite a lot of those moment. Videos of officers taking a knee with the protesters, holding up signs against police brutality or actively participating in marches. I would guess that all countries have some police officers who joined the police to live out their action hero dreams and end up being way too aggressive in situations, but even the US have plenty of officers who care more about the society than trying to be tough guys. But sadly the ones getting the attention are the ones doing the wrong things (on both sides)

Pretty sure that point was reached before it really started spreading across Europe as well

Or it ends up as a new 1967. Though it's really not that unusual that protests become violent in USA, this one can quickly become more than the small stuff.

I was so damn close to posting a picture of him earlier

Maybe Trump has foreseen the future

The funny thing is that it's maybe a week or so ago that I saw a comment using Gestapo about the state governments keeping the lock-down. So I guess you're right, and that's considering both sides

This doesn't really sound like Gestapo Terrible things happen and there are plenty of reasons to question the police, but there's a long way to Gestapo! https://edition.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/29/omar-jimenez-released-minnesota-protests-newday-vpx.cnn

He asks them several times where they want them to go. That's not really unusual in a situation where police don't want them where they are.

So... Went out for what was supposed to be my penultimate distance training pass before the half marathon. The plan was 17-18km with pretty much the setup that I was planning to go with on the 14th (2 bottles of water and 3 isotonic gels) running 2 different loops (1 about 5km and the other 4km). And well... I ended up with this Things really worked out starting at about 2-hour pace and putting on a bit more speed at about 7km and again at 15km (which was when I started considering going the full distance). I did get a bit of problems for the last km or so making me walk the last 400m due to a slightly painful right hamstring. I don't think it's something too bad (it's already better after some good stretches) but didn't want to risk it as I'm still planning to go for it the 14th. Considering that the last 2 days haven't been anything close to the perfect preparation, it may feel even better.

To be fair, it's really not that easy. Calling for special precautions at protests can easily be seen as trying to stop them or make them less effective. At least here in Denmark, most "Covid-rules" don't count when it comes to demonstrations. That did become rather hillarious when a single person entered an area that was closed (due to people gathering there without much social distancing). It was allowed as he had registered it as a demonstration.

Well. This is how we do in Aarhus! And

No doubt. We've already seen some of the anti-lockdown protests help spread the virus. It would be surprising if these are any different.

Haven't listened much to the podcasts, but I do check the site frequently, yeah.

Me too, though Totallympics isn't really the first place I go when it comes to American Football. And I cheer for... Uhm. You know, the ones everybody hates

Man, I'm happy that I live in a country where pretty close to everybody trusts the voting It's truly magnificent seeing Trump being certain that mail-in votes means voter fraud while pretty much everybody around him use it!

Second consecutive day without deaths in Denmark as well (and 3rd in 9 days). Only 19 in ICU beds. Unless the new openings start to show up in the statistics, things are looking good.

I remember that (but now it seems like Ola Toivonen is the more likely target for them)

I guess they will do some sublicencing just like in Norway. Haven't heard anything, but it seems like it's a pretty new deal. I believe we've had it on Eurosport in the past as well. And yeah, Gytkjær has been doing pretty well

Can you see who has the rights in Denmark? Haven't been able to find anything but Danish, Faroese and German football in the schedules.

It's not like Klobuchar is the only potential candidate going through the vetting No surprise that she is on the list, but there's a long way to go.

Well. It's one day and still very low numbers (considering where it has been. Not nearly enough to consider a second wave.

And that's Breaking Bad done. Great show but I don't think I would put it in the very top of the list.
