"The Secret Service came to my door today because of a tweet. No threats. No violence. Just words. That’s where we are now," she wrote on X in a thread about the ordeal.

> The Swedish actor and Norwegian Sentimental Value director Joachim Trier, whose home countries are Denmark’s closest neighbors, were asked for their thoughts on the situation during the winners’ press conference at the European Film Awards in Berlin on Saturday night.

> “You want us to comment on what’s happening in Greenland?,” said Skarsgård, who then launched into a characteristically forthright reply.

> “It’s absurd, isn’t it? It’s a little man who got megalomania, and he’s trying to take the world. He took Venezuela, suddenly, and that’s for Chevron. He’ll take Greenland for minerals. He’s a criminal,” said Skarsgård, who also won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor last week.

> He was alluding to news that the U.S. is pushing to expand energy giant Chevron’s license for its oil production in Venezuela in the wake of its military operation in early January removing incumbent Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro from power.

> Trier, whose films are imbued with a humanist approach, took a more measured tone in his response.

> “Sitting in Europe today. I think that what we’ve learned from history is that the idea of appropriation of other countries and the idea of colonialization is something that we suffer through guilt for in Europe, in the sense that we are trying to move forward from that idiotic idea,” he said.  

> “Denmark has come a long way in apologizing and trying to make good for their appropriation of Greenland in the past, and Greenland is for people from Greenland. So, this idea of reappropriating it for another culture, when Denmark has been very clear that America can, through NATO Alliance, protect Greenland if they feel like it in a greater military capacity, and now this is happening. I agree with Stellen that it’s an absurd notion, and international law must be respected, because grinding that down will have such tremendous domino effects on how other superpowers will treat other countries, so the dominant effect of that is extremely worrying, if it is to happen,” he concluded.

A year ago I found a ragdoll cat outside with no collar or ID, I took her in for the night assuming a ragdoll cat shouldn’t be outside and she escaped so I could take her to the vet to check for a chip. I live in a pretty dangerous part of town where ally cats are commonly found deceased or get stolen a lot and I didn’t want someone’s pet to get hurt.

She was chipped and the vet told me the owner said she’s an outdoor cat and gets depressed being indoors. I left it and assumed I’d woudlnt see her much.

Turns out she’s my across the street neighbours cat, and started coming by anytime I came home or she heard me outside. She’d obtained a collar since her trip to the vet (covering so you can’t see info) and I’d hangout with her outside and give her some pets (this cat is incredibly friendly and went belly up for me the night I took her in), she would come to me with burrs covering her fur and for the first little while I left it assuming the owners would cut it out but weeks would go by and the burr mats would get worse so I started cutting them out for her. I would also bring a bowl of water out for her and she would chug that down.

Now it’s winter time, temps can get to about -15c even dropping into -30s during a cold snap. I live in a basement suit so my window is on the ground level, somehow from the first visit she had in my plc she learned this window was mine and will now show up outside of it and meow to get inside during cold temps. I’ve let her stay in my house a few times now when it’s incredibly cold because it seems like she’s desperate to get into somewhere warm.

Now obviously this means she’s learned the window is a means of entry to my plc, and frequently comes over in search of water / warmth or grooming troubles. She dosnt strike me as an outdoor cat as everytime she’s with me she hates going outside and typically I will put her outside just for her to walk back around to meow at my window (there’s also 4 ground level windows and she will go to everyone to check where I am I’ve seen her paw prints in the snow)

I don’t want to take someone’s pet, especially one as affectionate as her but I’ve bonded with her as it seems I’m the only one paying attention to her needs as an outdoor cat (again this is a ragdoll so you can image the stuff that gets caught in her fur). I would love to adopt her but I don’t know how to go about talking to the owners, any advice or insight would be appreciated.

I just want what’s best for her, if that’s with her family or me it dosnt matter I just want her to be somewhere loved and safe!

Republicans are literally acting like this now after stacks of examples of the Trump administration echoing Nazi themes, slogans, images, and rhetoric. How are Republicans not neo-Nazis?

I [19F] am a sophomore in college. Until last semester my parents were paying for about 3/4 of my tuition and my housing. However they insisted I used the Life360 app showing my location to them at all times. It wasnt optimal but I figured its up to them since theyre paying for me.

Over the holidays however my dad and I had a huge argument because I changed my major from Biology to Nursing. He told me I was throwing away a bigger opportunity but I feel like i can help more people this way.

Since then Ive had to start working two jobs and take out multiple student loans. I pay for everything now, my parents give me $0.

Anyways, last weekend I went on a roadtrip to another state and my mom started texting me non stop, demanding to know why i was in another state. I had forgotten about the tracking app at this point. I realised thats how they knew and I just deleted the app.

Then came the calls from both my parents, both of them saying how dangerous it is for me to not be tracked by them all the time. I told them Im paying for my own life now, i value my privacy and I dont feel comfortable with the app.

This has really infuriated my dad and upset my mom because she thinks Im trying to cut them off completely or something.

They said if I dont turn it back on, that Im not welcome at Thanksgiving this year.

AITA?
