The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere.

Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration.

I lay it out in my latest post.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...
Tidligere forsvarssjef om Trumps USA: – Neo-fascistisk bananrepublikk (+)
Tidligere forsvarssjef Sverre Diesen mener USA er blitt «en normløs og fiendtlig innstilt stormakt», og advarer samtidig mot å feste vår lit til Europa. Harald Sunde mener det haster med en plan B.

This map exposes the Greenland lie.

The US used to have a massive military footprint here.

Today, they operate just ONE base.

If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

But he also owns interests in property. “In 2022, he bought a farm in New Brancepeth, a village in Co Durham, for £745,000, which he now lets as a holiday home. In 2024, his wife, through a company, bought a property in Meadowfield, another nearby village, for £71,000.”

Odd that.

Despots care not. They want only power, money, and to inflict death and suffering.
The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion.

This is the aftermath in one area

For me the period between Western New Year and Chinese New Year is like a folded away bit of quiet time. The Meantime. The Betwixt. A hidden time space specifically for catching up with yourself: for finishing, clearing, unloading, re-grouping. A time to make peace with the old before the new.

Do you know what critical infrastructure is?
Basic utilities like electricity, energy, airports, railways, roads, ports, dams, data centres, housing, schools, hospitals, and green spaces, it's pretty much everything.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”

You do not become a world builder by reading everything everyone else has to say about world building. You do it by the actual act of creating, the continuous and dedicated practice of the skill. You fail, you learn, you create again. This is what makes you a world builder.
