Denmark was ready to blow up Greenland runways if the USA invaded.
The Danish military sent explosives and blood supplies to Greenland in January as part of contingency planning for a US attack, as tensions with Trump escalated. 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇺🇸

When I was at university a Nigerian on my engineering course told a joke about corruption I adapt it for the present:
So a Pakistani engineer, a Nigerian engineer and an English lawyer go to visit each others country after graduating.
Nigerian visits the Pakistani guy. Says "You did well for your self, expensive car, huge house you were a bit of a waster at university, how come you did so well for yourself?"
Pakistani guy rubs his hands together and says "I went into the Civil Service, see that bridge over there... 20%"
Few years later Pakistani guy visits the Nigerian guy. Says "Wow you are doing even better than me you have a fleet of cars, a mansion, security your own jet, your were an even bigger waster than me how come you are so rich"
Nigerian guy rubs his hands together and says "I went into politics. See that bridge over there... 40%"
Another year passes they both go back to England and visit the English guy. He has a lovely property and expensive car as well. They both say "You were the biggest slacker of all of us how come your are so rich?"
English guy points and says "I stayed in Law, See that bridge over there?"
Nigerian guy says "No"

We have spent £180m on plans for a tunnel under Stonehenge. The project is now scrapped. You can be for a tunnel & think spending is a good idea (even if you think the cost of planning is silly). You can be against a tunnel & think spending is a bad idea. But *nobody* can be for spending on this scale with zero result. And yet that is a peculiarly British outcome. Nobody will be reprimanded. Nobody will see their career affected. But that’s £180m of taxpayer money just wazzed up the wall. Totally without repercussions. Multiply this by airport expansions & train route plans and Thames crossings and power stations and other examples you can think of yourself, and… soon you’re talking serious money.

Time for change!

We should revive traditional clothing. So many cultures have really cool traditions and manufacturing techniques shaped by local materials and climate. Everything has become so homogenized now that many people don’t even know how their ancestors dressed.

BREAKING: Jury sides with Afroman, who was sued by sheriff's deputies after he made a music video with surveillance of them raiding his home. The deputies said posts & the music video caused "humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment, & loss of reputation." Afroman says his home was wrongly searched, and he accused the deputies of causing damage to his home. He also said they disconnected his security footage and stole $400.

NEW: Afroman's music video "Lemon Pound Cake" played in court as "Officer Poundcake" was forced to sit and watch.
Adams County Sheriff's deputies are suing Afroman after he released a music video following a botched raid on his home.
At one point during the trial, the video was played during Officer Shawn Cooley's testimony.
The song was inspired after the officer allegedly glanced down at Afroman's desert during the botched raid on his home.
Officers claim that Afroman's songs and social media posts following the raid caused them "mental distress and danger." (ABC6)

a barrel of oil can provide as much electricity as a 400W solar panel does annually.
a barrel of oil runs $92 and comes with a few minor logistical complications.
this year the solar panel should run less than $90; you can order online, ships in a week.
