I've seen this pop up over the last couple of days, so I have to ask: Why do they want Greenland?
I'm sure it's a lovely place, but it's never struck me as a place anyone would fight over.

Yay! We're getting a day with temperatures all above freezing.
Finally, a good day to walk several miles to run some errands I've been putting off.

Every year chocolates get smaller and more expensive. Extrapolating backwards, in 1906 a Creme Egg would have been the size of Rochester Cathedral and they would have paid you 12 guineas to eat it.

I keep getting likes that Bluesky insists don't exist.
So, either Bluesky is haunted or I'm being followed by a ghost.

"The Human's world ends soon," said the cat.
"Again?" said the dog.
"They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes."
The dog whined.
"Same procedure as last year?" said the cat.
"Please."
The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks.

Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

Just a reminder to folk visiting Edinburgh next year please try your best to boycott the Elephant House. It's gone from a nice normal cafe with views of the castle to a mad tourist trap with a giant picture of Jakey R on the wall. It's like if everything wrong with Edinburgh's tourism was a cafe

Trying to determine if the makeup brush holder and matching brushes were $1.50 since they were in DT's Valentines section or $1.25 as marked, I discovered they were both listed as $0.25.
I'm guessing this was a mistake.
However, since the cashier didn't question, I'm not going to.

This is the antithesis of that; but I once completely failed to recognize the bloke sitting at the table behind me in a restaurant for more than an hour.

Please quote this with stories of your minor interactions with non-celebrities, e.g. “I once accidentally bumped into a man in the Wellingborough branch of Holland & Barrett”

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.
