It has been "be needlessly aggressive to Den" day today.
If I saw it was happening to one out of every 12 people I would assume it was a horoscope thing.
I'm expecting a bunch of people to jump up from behind the sofa and yell "SURPRISE!!"
Chill out people, life is way too short, and stress just makes it shorter.

Had a blast designing six fun, hip #mascots for an exciting new Torta restaurant! While the project was ultimately scrapped due to a branding shift, I'm proud of the creative work I did.

That was unexpected. I had no idea. I just applied for this job, and now I've got a review document in my hand, signed by two Danish professors and one German professor, concluding that "Martin Rundkvist meets the requirements of a Professorship level in all respects."

Donald Trump’s Greenland push is smart geopolitics
In business, Donald Trump was a real-estate guy. In the presidency, he might be one, too. The prospective foreign policy of his second term has taken an unexpected turn, with his recent talk of annexing Canada, buying Greenland and taking back the P…BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
No!!!!
An interest in Greenland is smart strategic thinking.
But bellicose threats to your allies is absolute insanity and a great way to destroy your alliances. And THAT is dumber geopolitics than gaining access to Greenland (which frankly, they would likely get thru the NATO alliance)
A question framing Richard J. Evans' book Hitler’s People (2024):
“Why did so many leading Germans in responsible positions, in the key institutions of society, go along with dictatorship, war and genocide? And what did those of them who survived the war think about their conduct under the Third Reich? Did they gain a moral perspective on it, did they repent, did they come to an understanding of what they had done?”

There were many many ppl who did resist in Nazi Germany (famously Schindler, the members of The White Rose and other resistance groups around the country. )
The ones who didn't or couldn't resist, and to all extents and propose "went along with it", DID repent and regret when faced with what they had done . Which is why in WGermany they vowed never again and developed a politics of humanity and de-Nazification. They also banned Nazi free-speech which would be a problem for your 1st Amendment.
In EGermany that self reflection NEVER happened under the manipulation and censorship of the USSR overlords until 1989. They didn't want ppl to THINK. Nowadays that historical lack of regret and repentance is evident in East German cities like Dresden and Leipzig where Fascists are very strong and prominent.

TikTok still seems headed for a ban after its Supreme Court arguments
Following oral arguments, the Supreme Court seems unlikely to stop a law that could ban TikTok from the US unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests it.Lauren Feiner (The Verge)
