It would be really funny if Jay Powell’s willingness to kill First Republic was followed eventually by his 18 Brumaire.

There are now some inaccurate claims being made (sorry for the screenshot). Greenland has been part of the Kingdom of Denmark as a geographical expression only since 1953.

Alle pariledere i samlet udtalelse: Vi står sammen som et folk
Politikerne har sagt det før, nu siger de det igen. 'Vi vil ikke være amerikanere, vi vil ikke være danskere, vi vil være grønlændere', lyder det i en fælles udtalelse fra de fem partiledere.

Anybody else find @apoorvanyt.bsky.social’s justifications for why it’s fine for Denmark to give so few childhood vaccines but not the US a bit odd? Maybe it’s bad for Danish kids too that they don’t get many vaccines! open.spotify.com/episode/1rk0...

This isn’t going to happen. A deal could possibly be made if the offer is several million dollars per person + increase in the block grant, but why pay that much when a special military operation is much cheaper and would set a useful precedent.

Tired: resource extraction empire

Wired: vibes based empire
The centrality of the western hemisphere in the NSS is kind of like a retrenching Britain’s turn to imperial preference if Britain already had an excess of what it mostly needed from its colonies and dominions.

Laws use the terms “her i riget” (“in this realm”) for the entire state and “her i landet” (“in this country”) for the European territory of the state. But these terms are not consistently defined and in one case, a use of “her i riget” in a pension law was held to only refer to Denmark.
Yes, it has developed into a term of art for the entire state as opposed to “Denmark” as a geographical expression in Northern Europe, especially in foreign relations.

The term had a different meaning historically as a subset of the Danish lands.

Invade for the Guan-o, not the guano.
I exaggerate but is this like invading Nauru for the Guano, but after the Haber-Bosch process was discovered?

It doesn’t do this, but in general I highly recommend the Chrome extension Language Reactor which lets you have two sets of subtitles displayed at the same time, in Netflix and YouTube. Also useful is the auto pause feature which pauses after every line.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I'd go further. I'm with Dante. The best human existence is possible only in cities.
I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.
Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not

There should be more swearing at swearing in ceremonies. Just let loose with a string of obscenities and afterwards say you misunderstood the concept.
