Don’t believe Trump’s absurd lies that the U.S. needs to own Greenland for “national security” reasons.
The real reason is to enrich his donors and allies.

A former Trump official wants to build a massive data center in a remote corner of Greenland. Will it work?
Construction is yet to begin on the facility, but it's aiming to hit a capacity of 1.5 gigawatts by the end of 2028.

When buying farmed salmon, make sure it’s from the Northern Hemisphere, not the Southern Hemisphere, like Chile.
"While in 2024, Norway declared that it had used virtually no antibiotics in its farms, Chilean farms used more than 351 tonnes.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Unusually for me I answered a call from an unknown number. Turned out to be “the leading conservative think tank” to quote my spammer who was calling a lifelong democrat and diehard liberal looking for donations. Requested my number struck from the list and wished him a “happy no kings day.”

Totally agree with @nrlines.bsky.social about @koshersoul.bsky.social He is a national treasure!
First, read this article and consider ordering Michael Twitty's new cookbook.
Second, find yourself a copy of Koshersoul. And while you're at it find a copy of The Cooking Gene. Both books are true gifts and incredibly informative in an accessibly narrative kind of way.
