Most Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded after the recipient threatens to go to war with the committee. This is very common.

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

I'd bet Oregon would be happy to join up.
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

This is a nice plate of crinoids I picked up unprepped at a fossil show for $8. It was in a "junk box" and I could only see 2 of the 4 crinoids.
It turned out pretty nice.
It's from the Mississippian Gilmore City Fm. of Iowa. Four unique species of crinoids.

Just over a month ago, a massive landslide flowed across Oregon Highway 229 roughly seven miles north of the city of Siletz, closing the road indefinitely.
Since the landslide, a variety of debris has been spotted in the Siletz River, from whole trees to propane tanks.
