Timeline cleanser: Wikipedia is celebrating its 25th birthday with a cute new logo, Baby Globe.

They've got several animations to enjoy, beyond the ones I'm featuring. Link: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wikipedia25/wikipedia-mascot/

Wikipedia is the internet at its finest. Here's to 25 more years!

It's medically fascinating how many lies there are in just this one statement.

1. There has been no coordination with Louisiana
2. The governor cannot deploy federal assets
3. The two existing hospital boats, the USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort, are in dry dock in Alabama
4. They are federal assets owned and deployed by the US Navy
5. Admiral Daryl Caudle would be in charge of the actual deployment of naval assets
6. There is no current, confirmed outbreak of disease or widespread sickness in Greenland that would require external aid
7. If there were, it would fall to Denmark to request aid, not Greenland
8. Danish officials have stated that their healthcare system is functioning normally and they do not need special medical assistance
9. The last widespread disease which would require external aid was the COVID-19 crisis, which Trump bungled into a worldwide pandemic

So to recap, no aid is required, because no aid is necessary, and no aid has been requested, and no aid is on its way.

Looks like Palantir may have fallen into the Streisand trap;

in seeking their right to reply (under Swiss media law) via the courts, they have drawn a lot more attention to two articles (based on Freedom of Information requests) that reveal why the Swiss state refused to do a deal with Palantir for some military software; they were worried data would be obtained by the US Govt.

Now a story, originally limited to the Swiss is gaining traction across Europe; oops.
