Trump: "I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize. But that doesn’t matter! What does matter is that I saved Millions of Lives ... I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM."

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance.

"We are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere" is the sort of line that gets edited out of an anime villain's evil monologue for being a bit much.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

So, something we got into a bit for the space book is the idea of resources as the source of wealth, because (a) it's widely believed, and (b) it's a claim used to justify all sorts of outlandish space ideas.

The short version is that resources are a teeny tiny fraction of wealth.

Failing to anticipate people would use your image generation bot to make consentless-pornography should be criminal incompetence.

Failing to include safeguards against it should be criminal negligence.

Failing to shut it down once (a) and (b) became obvious should be criminal distribution.

Some line-drawing around the issue of Greenland seems to be happening. Norway, Sweden and Finland all issuing similar statements, Germany stating territory cannot be annexed by force, international law has to be respected.
This is better; still not strong enough I think, but much better.

This major US financial stability risk has not been getting sufficient attention.
So, I am using this feature I did with the Danish "Borsen" - in English - to try to raise this concern.
If you find the argument clear and therefore worrying, please circulate, thanks.

His analysis is deeply unsettling. The United States is in the middle of a financial experiment. If it goes wrong, it could end in a financial crisis 2.0.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Where Are Aou Going, America?
 
At the start of 2026, America is no longer a democracy. That doesn’t mean authoritarianism has won. But merely restoring the pre-Trump status quo won’t work.

The country needs a democratic transformation.

I don't blame the people who claimed cancel culture on college campuses was the biggest threat to democracy and now want to denaturalize people over tweets. They're moral monster hypocrites who can't help operating in bad faith.

I blame the credulous media who uncritically ran their endless op-eds.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests.
They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯

Sounds crazy, I know, but this crowd really believes that most people share their worldview and personal bugaboos, and the only reason it looks otherwise is crusading Moaists captured all institutions and used their dominance to force people to parrot radical leftist views.

No, seriously, they do.

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.
