That's right folks, it is now easier to buy a firearm than to load open source software on your phone in America.

20 March 1903 | A Czech Jewish woman, Anna Baumová, was born in Zalužany.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from the #Theresienstadt ghetto on 6 September 1943. She did not survive.

Last year Danish Medium DR revealed that Zenia Grynberg, a member of the party Liberal Alliance, is really a woman living in Moscow under the name Evgenia, who runs a Telegram page in Danish called "Well informed".

A document proves how Russian intelligence paid her 2.4 million rubles to support the page.

With around 40 posts per day, she talks about reasons Denmark should not support Ukraine, and how Denmark could be bombed for doing so.

I presented at the local planetary journal club this morning about the 3 articles I co-authored for The Conversation in the past weeks about the effects that one million satellites would have on the night sky, the atmosphere, and the orbital environment (spoiler alert: all very very bad)

Also note the very foreign road layout, mail carrier, foreign cop, non-Scottish suburb and buildings, and all the rest of the imagery. That illustration exemplified American cultural imperialism from top to bottom. (And looking at the shadows, the sun NEVER gets that high overhead—when you can see it at all, that is!)

Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics

I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)

In January when Trump was about to invade Greenland, a considerable force of Danish Dragoons, special forces soldiers of the Jaeger corp, and french Alpine Hunters, were deployed, alongside Danish F-35 fighter jets, and French Navy vessels.

Blood supplies were flown in, and airstrips were rigged with explosives to prevent insertion of American forces.

The Kingdom has prepared for war two times in 100 years: Against Hitler in 1940, and Trump in 2026.
