Really can't stand the self-abasement of takes posing as the reasonable middle by conceding it'd be a sensible policy to purchase / annex Greenland so long as it wasn't by force, as if any of the nonsense reasons are compelling. Stop it. There is no reasonable version, that would still be idiotic.

i think that you're being an absolute wiener if your key complaint as an American right now is "the Europeans on this niche social media site are being mildly rude to me over the prospect of our mad king going to war with them."

Housing. The #1 most alienating thing about Canada to young people is the extraordinary cost of housing.
As a housing nerd, I know it’s mainly municipal/provincial, not federal.
But Poilievre identified a sore spot that the Liberals have long seemed out-of-touch on.

Polls like this make me so frustrated. The Liberals and, even moreso the NDP, have GOT to figure out how to reach young people. There is zero reason Conservatives should be polling like this except for their opponents clearly not understanding or embracing what they should stand for.

Practice practice. Many problems to shake out. Need to spend some time with these majuscules. If I do ever write the whole piece I'll need to do it at a smaller nib size (this is a 3mm pigma calligrapher marker) and in textualis quadrata so I can wrap lines wherever

This is the correct response from Americans when their government threatens to annex sovereign nations
Contrast this with Dave Weigel's bloviation on using Greenland as a bargaining chip in the 2028 presidential campaign

Unión del Barrio first started its community patrol program more than thirty years ago in response to police harassment of Latinos. The group reactivated its community patrols in response to increased federal immigration enforcement in San Diego.

stephen miller visited the delphic oracle and was really excited when he was told 2026 would be about the triumph of the Will.
now is the time of will stancil
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Barebones vulcanus base is done. Need more power so back to Nauvis for turbines, which I forgot to unlock.
I am tempted to do a very barebones run of all the inner planets to unlock stuff, which maybe means I should go back to my older save and start megabasing.
