I am interested in art (historical and contemporary), archeology, literature and Rome.
"We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes..." I'll need you to spell that out for me.

On the other hand, 44 Danish soldiers died in Afghanistan, fighting because their ally, the USA, had been attacked on 9/11. Eight Danish soldiers died in Iraq, fighting as allies of the US.

Why exactly? I've used Grok and Gemini both from time to time. My impression is that both can be useful. But only in areas where you are quite knowledgeable, since both will offer up hallucinated information. At times, the amount of checking gets tedious, I'll admit.

I guess that means no Excedrin Parade this year? I'm disappointed in Mr. Garrett.

Do you believe that any Canadian response would have a beneficial effect on this situation? I don't, but you could show that I'm wrong in this.

Yeah, I've forgotten about the Epstein files too.

Thanks for the bit of education: foolishly I hadn't bothered to think what effect the sheer numbers of people on X or bluesky would have on what appears.

I hope you're wrong about this. I'm new to bluesky, but I have noticed much less debate. And much less vitriol.

I follow persons and events on both bluesky and on X. The uprising in Iran is much much bigger on X. Is bluesky correct in seeming to downplay it? Or are people on bluesky uninterested in Iran? Or are people on X inflating?
