Greenland thoughts from Antarctica..
Greenland is all over the press at the moment for all the wrong reasons. But Greenland is also on my mind, not just because of geopolitics, but also because the Copernicus Climate service has just put out their annual global climate highlights for 2025 with some disturbing messages about Antarctica. Understanding Greenland can help us to understand also what is happening here.

On Oct. 4, Marimar Martinez, a teacher’s assistant at a Montessori school, was driving in Chicago when she observed federal immigration agents on patrol.
She had begun to honk her horn to warn her neighbors about their presence when she collided with a Border Patrol vehicle.
Moments later, the agent in the vehicle, Charles Exum, fired multiple shots into Martinez’s car, hitting her again and again.

Well, I definitely didn't see *that* coming. Harriet basically threw her game, what the actual fuck? I was so excited to see her questions to the traitors and what her next move would be. She was great against Hugo. But then she showed up to breakfast & turned everyone against her by being aggressive and not letting others speak. It feels as if she wanted to leave the game. Sad. But I'm happy Stephen is still playing. Would love to see a joint traitor win for once.

Heel pijnlijk dat pas na het ongeluk de regels verscherpt zijn.
De laatste opmerkingen (📸) zijn logisch, maar helaas/terecht leidt dat niet tot een veroordeling.
Treurig dat het OM voorbij de mogelijkheden keek.
