This is the Greenlandic and Danish Foreign Ministers sharing a smoke after meeting with JD Vance and I would 100% watch a 10-episode Netflix series where this pair hunt a serial killer north of the arctic circle.

So the point of all of this is to provoke riots, and I’m pretty sure the will succeed.
The flaw in their plan is that rioters are more sophisticated than 5 years ago. They won’t hurt people or local businesses. They will hurt the holdings of major GOP donors. MN happens to be a data center hub.

This is a good explainer video on Tomahawk missile and its relevance to the Ukraine conflict.

I really wish the folks at NYTimes had watch it before posting their truly lackluster sidebar on the Tomahawk today.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

ABC news announced they are shutting down 538. Coincidentally, this occurred the day after Trump’s net approval rating went negative on 538’s polling aggregator.
In December, ABC news also agreed to pay $15M to settle a defamation case brought by the president. Disney is the parent company of ABC.

Here’s what gets me about Trump and Musk: for all the pain, misery, and chaos they are sewing in the world right now, presumably for their own gain, do either of these guys look happy?

A cologne for men over 40. Call it “Experience” and it’ll smell like book leather, pipe tobacco, & single-malt whiskey. With hints of Icy-hot, stale coffee, a McDonald’s hash brown that’s been in your car seat for 6 months and a fart you just don’t care enough to hold in anymore.

There are 99 names on the Memorial Wall at USAID Headquarters in the Ronald Reagan Building. The corresponding CIA memorial at Langley commemorates only 140 fallen, despite being twice the size and having 15 more years of history than USAID.

Trump makes some ridiculous noise and then claims he negotiated a deal. That way he takes credit for Biden Administration accomplishments on the border.
