It strikes me that a central flaw to this argument that "professors feature the future" based in faculty distrust/rejection of MOOCs is that MOOCs turned out to NOT be the future. AI is likely different, but saying "it's the future" doesn't mean much. www.chronicle.com/article/why-...

Academic life has barely changed in 40 years. Why? The faculty likes it that way.

The EU is correctly reading this as a lane change, not a U-turn.
The extraordinary EU summit will go ahead as planned on Thursday evening, regardless of Trump’s Greenland U-turn.
The topic on the agenda remains “latest developments in the transatlantic relations and its implications for the EU.”

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Torched US-Europe relations and shredded NATO but hey, we've reached the outline of negotiations to maybe eventually create...the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement.
Trump: "Based upon a very productive meeting I had with Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one... Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs"

The "military is off the table" thing was meant to be palatable to one incredibly dumb audience, by which I of course mean Wall Street.
He was later asked by a reporter why he said the military is "off the table" for Greenland and replied "we'll see what happens" before adding "The military is not on the table" because he doesn't "think it will be necessary."

If your goal is to undermine the UN system (e.g. Trump, Putin, Orban, Netanyahu, etc.), $1 billion is a pretty good deal. It doesn't even have to do much to make a return.
Otherwise, why anyone would join this - much less PAY to join - is beyond me.

Hate to rain on anyone's World Cup parade, but at this point, "most effective" and "least disruptive" are mutually exclusive.
Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Peaceful protests in Minnesota divert arctic warfare resources away from threatened Greenland invasion 🙃
ABC News reporting 1,500 active duty soldiers are on standby to deploy to MINNESOTA.
The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf--Richardson, one of the Army's premier infantry formations.
The division is also the military's leading formation for Arctic warfare

Pituffik (the US base in Greenland) is 1500km (straight line distance) from Nuuk.
So this is like deploying troops to Kansas City in order to raise a flag in Washington DC, while everything in between is frozen.
So this is like deploying troops to Kansas City in order to raise a flag in Washington DC, while everything in between is frozen.
The best way to think of how Trump would "invade" Greenland is Putin's "little green men" annexation of Crimea. The US military would simply deploy more troops to its base there, and then one day they'd raise the US flag over the capital.

If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.
