Normally that would be a kvajebajer (you are expected to buy a round of beer because you screwed up) but kvajekage (cake instead of beer) works too I suppose I took this picture in a local supermarket. any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental

His new golf course with its exclusive members?

I do not doubt for a second either, that if Greenland didn't have friends and connections, ICE would march in and relocate the Inuit population to some tiny reservation in the Florida glades, for their own protection of course, while Greenland is being strip mined. Painful colonial past does seem preferable to a painful colonial present

I think Gorgon covered the most important bits really. Disclaimer: I was never a nationalist to begin with, having lived more of my adult life abroad than in Denmark and I believe money is something better spent before you can't use it anymore. So no hoarder of wealth either. What I do remember from my early years, thinking about Greenland and The Faeroe Islands, can be summed up as "they are". They were part of the realm. Different people, different cultures and interesting history. But not a sense of "ownership". More a sense of bewilderment why anyone would want to live in such cold areas Do I think of them as "my people"? I probably does on a subconscious level, i.e. never thinking of the people living there as "foreigners". Just fellow citizens with the misfortune of living in a cold climate. I also know that, Greenland in particular, was not a happy story and Denmark was no benevolent colonial power. Like the Australian Aborigines, the Inuit people were subjected to abuse, atrocities and mistreatment. Eugenics programs, forced sterilization of young women (we are talking modern history here, 1970's) and generations of kids forcefully removed from their parents. Very similar to the Australian "stolen generation" programs. If the people of Greenland resent Denmark, I wont blame them. i still think both parts would benefit of keeping status quo as it is today though. Greenland minding its own business in most aspects, represented in the Danish parliament, the country subsidized by the government in Copenhagen because the living standard is not affordable by the local economy. Iirc, Greenland also has the right to do its own business with investors about the resources they have, so those minerals etc. are not disposable income for the government in Copenhagen.

As much as I'm interested in theological archeology, I've yet to figure out the background for the Aboriginals (native Australians) creation myth, The Dream Time. It may have been covered in basic school, but I didn't go to school in Australia and a disproportional number (one third? I need to check sources) of schools is run by the Catholic Church and is more likely to teach kids, that we weren't here 6000+ years ago Sorry guys, completely unrelated to Florida, just my absent and sometimes too abstract mind going off on a tangent

Frieren... as beautiful as ever. It gives me this hard to explain warm and fuzzy feeling of seeing old friends, that I haven't seen in a long time. The little party is getting itself in motion again, heading towards the northern plateau. Nothing like seeing a familiar face again First challenge is being trapped in a cave of magic nullifying crystals, reducing the two mages to "ordinary girls" (followed by some hilarious conversation as Frieren has never forgiven Stark for calling her an old hag when they first met) This time however, he gets to to carry the party. Literally (screenshot is from the "landing" after the ground collapses beneath them and they plummet down into a large cave system) There is the mandatory fan service (nothing as hot and steamy as Ubels armpits this time) ...and of course flashbacks to Frierens travel with Himmel, Eisen and Heiter. Nothing says "we are a party!" like running away together from a black dragon Frieren... Frieren never changes (she is a messy sleeper)

This. the US already had free hands to expand their military presence on Greenland. Two problems with that... one, it doesn't distract from the still unreleased Epstein files and two, doesn't make Mango Mussolini look like a proper conqueror.

I don't know if it's the ultimate flex, but its a good candidate. Floor Jansen singing the Dutch version of The Yellow Pages

Soon... Yes, I know its only 10 episodes long. Yes, I know its a different director. Yes, I feel greedy for more. But if it's even remotely comparable to season 1, I'll take what I can get and enjoy it. It most likely ends just before the golden land arch ("El Dorado"). Crossing fingers and hoping that it picks up from there in later seasons then.

I've lost some (a lot of( interest in the current WH40K setting, but every now and then, I still do a knee jerk reaction and listen or watch something.

The Varangian Guard would like to have a serious conversation with you

Not sure if if qualifies as "anime", but I thought this series was very fun to watch so far. It refuses to be embedded, so just a link to the channel. I'm currently up to episode 5 (they are relatively short, like less than 5 minutes each). Fun and adorable characters. https://www.youtube.com/@milkygalacticuniverse Edit: Sort of a prequel leading to the 12 episodes where the girls have to do community service on the Milky Subway Express Limited (and the only bloody video out there that didn't actively prevent embedding, even the official trailer 1 and 2 doesn't allow embedding ) Edit2: For once a series where I actually liked the English dub better than the original language

Normally I don't read much stuff about global banking, but this one caught my eye because I always tell my dad off for not investing his money in something more solid, like gold (instead of as cash under pillow, not kidding, old people and their quirks, never trust a back etc. etc.) I wonder what @BruceVCs take would be on this (he knows way more about the workings of banks than I do). It's a 20 minute video and its of course the last 10 minutes that are the most interesting. The less obvious consequences of removing tonnes of gold from the US reserves.
