The fact that after 10,000 years Swedish people still hate snow is the biggest argument against Lamarckian inheritance.

Danish PM statement
Translation: "" I have to say this very directly to the USA:
It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the USA to take over Greenland. The USA has no right to annex one of the three countries in the Commonwealth. "

Hello environment / climate peeps of Bluesky! I'm just doing some planning for what to write about in 2026. Do drop me a DM if you'd like to chat about anything you'd like to see the Times environment section cover this year.

This is inaccurate. The very same supreme court ratified the electoral fraud. The opposition does not in any way need to accept these decisions as 'legitimate.'

In the Nordics, we're quite worried about what's next, in particular for Greenland. Some of that is directed as a concern for the prime minister of Denmark - however, with Denmark having elections this year, I am also concerned for electoral integrity, Danish democracy and the risks of interference.

Uhhhh. So to be clear this would be the end of the transatlantic alliance and Europeans should really make that clear.

I think what China understood and the rest of the world has been slow to do is that Trump is running a protection racket more than a trade or foreign policy.
He wants the payoffs more than the invasion or regime change.

But, I hear you cry, the US is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and therefore not subject to ICC jurisdiction. Well, that's just like, their opinion, man. The ICC also claims jurisdiction over acts by any person or nation committed on the territory of state parties, which includes Venezuela.

This is an extraordinary posting by the wife of one of Trump's closest advisers Steve Miller. Combined with recent statements that the US "needs" Greenland and its strive to dominate the western hemisphere, threats against Greenland must be taken very seriously.
