  • … Danish unity party called the new US powers “alarming”. The party’s foreign affairs spokesperson, Trine Pertou Mach, told Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten: “It is quite far-reaching that we are handing over law enforcement powers to a foreign country’s military police.”

    According to the agreement it is irrevocable for 10 years. But last week, the Danish foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said that if the US were to take over Greenland, Denmark would be able to pull out early.

    “It goes without saying that a complete or partial American annexation of Greenland would entitle Denmark to terminate the defence cooperation agreement,” he wrote in a parliamentary response.

    It’s fine to give the violent domestic abuser many big guns and keys to the house, because there’s a protection order. So if the victim is killed, we can kick out Mr Bullyface.

  • Sometimes I let myself think about life before “civilization”:

    The stories of flocks of migrating birds numbering in the millions, darkening the skies for more than a day.

    The plains with an ocean of waving grasses that sustained millions of buffalo, and the symbiotic chain of animal life that thrived in their wake.

    The thousands of waterfalls that cascaded into freely flowing rivers and sustained riparian zones filled with vertebrates and insects.

    Forests full of trees that were thousands of years old, sheltering the abundant wildlife.

    I think of fireflies and bees and the absence of machine sounds, and I kinda wish I could go back in time to just … prevent hominins.
