Has he…confused Denmark for Norway?
Also, “US president threatens to invade Greenland in retaliation for not receiving peace prize” is a Don DeLillo ass headline if I’ve ever seen one.

Trump says he's pursuing Greenland after perceived Nobel Peace Prize snub

Fascinating essay on *why* some cultures are terrified of reheating rice and others just...do it every day.
The justification cycle - racialised thinking, call to science, appeal to long past and/or 'traditional' wisdom - seems universal for this sort of food story #histFood

What Middle New Zealand truly cares about is the monetary impact of expansionary fiscal policy.
Lads is it good when the two major parties are making near identical ideological frames for the upcoming election, based around no promises, no hope, managerialism forever.

Minnesota was already a great place to live. This moment strengthening our community bonds and shared identity will take that to another level. We're forever changed, in a way that only could only come from banding together to look out for vulnerable neighbors in the face of evil.
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.
President Trump will issue a plan next week for letting Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment on a home, a senior White House official said Friday.
