Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT: When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

It is a gorgeous spring day in Connecticut. Sitting in Southeast train, reading an endless stream of texts about Donut Lab. It is nearly midnight in Finland and people sit in darkness, texting each other: Donut Lab, Donut Lab, Donut Lab. A country in emotional turmoil.

JD Vance supports murdering American citizens. He's made that perfectly clear today. If he's willing to defend the murder of Renee Good, he would defend your murder, too.

Again, the US president, his government officials, and supporters, are all lying to you about what happened here. This video clearly demonstrates the vehicle was not driving towards the ICE agent.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

Vintern har kommit till Ekenäs i södra Finland, underbart. Så vi längtat efter snö, kyla och ljuset som kommer med snön!

Would Trump be willing to sacrifice NATO in exchange for Greenland if he understand that it's not as big as it looks on the Mercator map? Size is everything with this loser. Also, what if Trump does nothing except for force everyone to say Greenland is part of the US. Would that break NATO?

The American people need health care, not Greenland! Invading or buying Greenland is a giant waste of money. It's a Trump vanity project, just like the White House ballroom. Trying to do so could also blow up NATO. Stop this nonsense.

Joint Statement on Greenland 🇬🇱 stm.dk/statsministe...

America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024. Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It is truly magical to witness the northern lights dancing across the sky from our home here in Nuuk, Greenland 🇬🇱 November 25, 2025 (6:10pm) Temp: +1°C.

The concerns of ordinary people who live in smaller nations don’t need to be taken into account, because they will not be granted any agency. Their interests are not the concern of the imperial companies that want their mineral resources....

As the Trump administration enters its crucial second year, polls indicate that much of the American public disapproves of the president and his flagship policies.

Pikkuinen laiva ja isot laivat tervehtivät päiväänne! Upea merisumu Etelärannassa.

I morse visade termometern -20. Frisk och lite flugor skulle min far ha sagt. Man får bära in mera ved, luftvärmepumpen snurrar och elbatterierna sköter en del. Solpanelerna ligger under snö, solen snålar också och ligger lågt men den lyser 😀 ☀️

Latvian pääministeri Evika Silina kertoo, että Itämeressä on havaittu jälleen kaapelirikko. Tilannetta ja syytä tapahtuneeseen selvitetään.

This about sums it up...

Don't even imagine it is about drugs.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "This is the same DC playbook that we are so sick & tired of that doesn't serve the American people, but actually serves the big corporations, the banks, and the oil executives... I want to see domestic policy be the priority... we don't consider Venezuela our neighborhood."

Jag försöker lära mina barn att man inte bara kan ta vad man vill ha, men jösses vad jag arbetar i motvind.

‼️ Goda nyheter för alla - utom för vinstdrivna vårdbolag! Uppsala blir första kommun i landet som har genomfört en upphandling där enbart icke vinstdrivande aktörer kunde delta. Nu har kommunen också fått rätt i Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen. @svenskadagbladet1.bsky.social

Dante’s “Paradiso” is usually the part of the “Divine Comedy” that most people skip, Eric Bulson writes. A new colloquial translation is trying to change that.

In the Netherlands in the 17th century, bakers announced the arrival of fresh bread by blasting on a horn. In this painter in the Worcester Art Museum, Job Adriaensz. Berckheyde portrays himself as a baker surrounded by his wares. #earlymodern

Januari 2 Är det bara snöfritt så är mossorna allra finast under höst och vintermånaderna. Hårbjörnmossa Polytrichum piliferum. Ibland hittar man hanorganen bild 1. Ser ut som blommor. Oftast är det dock sporkapslarna, honorganen som ses. Bild 2-3. Du hittar mossan på berghällar och annan torr mark

At the end of 2025 an official tourist board survey confirmed that Puglia and Tuscany are Italy’s TOP foodie destinations (joint 1st places). The survey highlighted that visitors from USA look for gourmet fine dining, but that’s not what you come to Puglia for. www.pugliaguys.com/2025/08/31/2...
