The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.
The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

One of the most incredible dive sites in the world, the Silfra Fissure in Þingvellir National Park, Iceland. Located between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, the water gets filtered through the volcanic rock for 80 years.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Feels to me like there is unfinished business from 1861-65 - only this time it’s the Confederates that won through the ballot box (rigged or otherwise).
It doesn’t matter who wins the presidency, one half of America always says it’s been cheated.
Ergo - the States aren’t really United at all.
