Protein is dominating cultural conversations, as high-protein products continue to take over grocery aisles. A 2025 Bain & Company survey found that 44% of U.S. respondents said they want to increase their protein intake, up from 34% from the same period in 2024. Full report: cnb.cx/4f9HLDp

I know that this is trivial with everything going on in the US and the world. Yesterday, I, an old man, threw out 2 pairs of old jeans and 1 pair of worn socks. All on my own, no prompting from my wife. Who knew?

Why Greenland’s election is not about independence
Contrary to what the wall-to-wall coverage of Greenlandic affairs in international media might lead one to believe, the election is about redefining ties with Copenhagen.

We call Trump the Orange one, etc. In Mexico they call him Captain Carrot (Capitan Zanahoria). Love it.

German Ww2 soldier's belt buckle my Dad (in the Navy at the time) "liberated" from a German warehouse in Norway. The Nazi's were claiming God was with them. Sound familiar?

Just saw this on FB: If the United States saw what the United States was doing to the United States, the United States would invade the United States to save the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Strange to actually meet someone (very successful) who believes that Dr. Fauci is totally responsible for the Covid "fiasco." Fauci 'ignored' the proven evidence that invermectin and hydrochloroquin worked. Plus, he spouted all sorts of false facts about the pandemic. No arguing with him.

This is why I have been ringing the alarm bell in every meeting with anyone in or adjacent to every government that everyone should have basic IT and opsec measures in place (eg anti doxxing services); this practice is becoming normalized and everyone needs to be prepared. It’s not if, it’s *when.*

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but we're in a "Lion King" moment. "I Just Can't Wait to be King," and "Be Prepared" (we're not). So long "Akuna Matata."
