If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Went for a run today in the slush, got hit by some combo of sleet n freezing rain n hail then two minutes later a glorious opening in the clouds and golden light and long shadows. Wonderful aimless sploshing and sliding. (Yeah it’s January and I’m in full I Love Winter mode. Ask me again in April…)

On the recommendation of @therestpolitics.bsky.social I’m reading Polar War (great and gripping) and right at the start, there’s Tom Høyem…who was minister for Greenlandic Affairs and then my headmaster at the European School! Unexpected flashback, I’d forgotten his background.

So many column inches on The Top 10 NBA players of all time but here’s a better question: who were the most influential NBA players? The ones who changed the game? Example: LeBron is a ‘better’ player than Curry but Curry is infinitely more influential - he changed the game.

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.”

Hope americans enjoy the increase in prices due to the mad king’s tariffs on the EU and UK. Shooting yourself in the face to help billionaires steal shit is absolutely core MAGA philosophy. Bravo.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The American position on Greenland is so completely deranged the best thing the EU can do is call a summit for EU, UK, and USA and force America to make the case:
What do you want AND WHY?
Bases? You can have them.
Mining? You can do it.
What else? Fluffing trumps ego?
Make their idiocy public.

How about if the EU imposes tariffs unless the US gives it California? And Canada imposes tariffs unless they give us Massachusetts and New York? Demented, utterly demented.

Let’s hope EU responds by FINALLY taxing the tech companies that are polluting us all with their slop so they can no longer evade tax. It must be clear by now that there is no point attempting in any way to find a middle ground with goo who wants to use mafia style extortion.
Trump slaps allies with Greenland tariffs. From Feb 1, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Finland face 10% on all exports. June 1, it jumps to 25%.
