The erect-crested penguin (Tawaki nana hī) is rare and only breeds on the Antipodes and Bounty Islands, 750km south east of New Zealand.

Scientists studying the birds have set up a 24/7 live penguin cam via Starlink, powered by solar panels and it launched to the public today.

He's completely lost the plot.

He's blaming the PM of Norway for him not getting the Nobel Prize (Nobel ≠ Norwegian govt).

He thinks that Norway has control over what Denmark does with Greenland.
(Norway ≠ Denmark).

These are the deranged ramblings of a demented old man.

If there are any grown-ups left in America, now is the time to take back the wheel.

This is a proposal, which means two things: it’s not in place yet, and may not be put in place at all.

This proposal has a 60 day period (from Dec. 10) in which comments on the proposal can be made, before it can be implemented.

FYI, this appears to be the actual proposal for updating US entry requirements (for non-citizens, and most European countries). The email and social media parts indicate email addresses and social media “handles” are needed (no mention of email content or social media content (though much of this will be public already)), and other similar information, for family members as well.

Included is the collection of biometric data: Facial [image], fingerprints, DNA and Iris. (1/3)

Also, be very aware of handing over your phone in an unlocked state, or even a locked state with biometric access enabled. There is legal precedent for being compelled to unlock a device via biometric means.
