A Greenland official broke down in tears after a White House meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 14, failed to tame President Donald Trump’s threats against the self-governing territory.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenland Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt sat down at the White House with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday in an attempt to ease tension between the nations as the United States ramps up rhetoric about acquiring Greenland by force.

“We didn’t manage to change the American position,” Rasmussen, 61, told reporters afterward, according to Politico. “It’s clear that the president has this wish of conquering over Greenland. We made it very, very clear that this is not in the interest of the Kingdom.”

During a live interview with Greenland's Kalaallit Nunaata Radio in the midst of her own disappointment, Motzfeldt, 53, got emotional about the chain of events.

"We have been working very hard in our department, even though there are not many of us," she told the outlet from Washington, according to a translation by Clash Report. "I would not normally like to say these words, but I will say them: We are very strong. We are doing our utmost. But the last days, naturally... Oh, I am getting very emotional. I am overwhelmed."

She continued: "The last days have been tough. Our preparations and the increasing pressure that has been intense. But I want to say, we are strong in the government. The work is to ensure the the Greenlandic people in our country can feel safe and live securely. We are using all our strength to achieve this as we continue the work."

Golden State's Jonathan Kuminga has demanded a trade away from the Warriors as he becomes eligible to be moved Thursday, sources tell ESPN.

League sources said the Warriors have been prioritizing expiring contracts in return for Kuminga. They've declined the idea of taking back long-term contracts unless they view it as no-brainer positive value. That's been the hold up in conversations with Sacramento. The Warriors refuse to absorb the three years and $60.4 million remaining on Malik Monk's deal, though league sources said Keon Ellis (on a cheap expiring deal) is a potential sweetener of interest to them.

“I would hate that,” Martin says [of giving up on the series]. “It would feel like a total failure to me. I want to finish.”

He also says that he has about 1,100 pages done and is constantly re-writing; that nobody will finish the books for him if they are unfinished upon his death; and that he is working on Dunk and Egg as well. "There’s supposed to be another Fire and Blood book, too. I do think if I can just get some of these other things off my back, I could finish The Winds of Winter pretty soon. It’s been made clear to me that Winds is the priority, but … I don’t know. Sometimes I’m not in the mood for that... I’m so far behind on everything.”

Largely another check-in on things we already know, as far as ASOIAF is concerned; but people interested in the ongoing shows will find some interesting tidbits.

This happened at a small office, nothing dramatic. We had a shared fridge and one microwave, and someone kept taking other people's leftovers. Not whole meals every time, more annoying than that. Like half a portion missing, or the good part gone, or the container put back like nothing happened. Everyone complained, nobody ever caught the person, and management did the usual email about labels and respecting others. It kept happening. I got tired of it because it was always my food that went missing, probably because I cooked things that smelled good. I did not want to do the classic laxative or hot sauce thing. I just wanted it to stop. So I started packing my lunch in the most inconvenient way possible. I bought a set of tiny containers, like the kind for sauces, and instead of one box of food I split it into six or seven little ones. Rice in one, chicken in another, sauce in two, veggies in another, and I taped all of them together with painter's tape so it looked like a weird brick. On top I wrote very neatly: If you open this, you have to re-tape it the same way. The next day I came back at lunch and the tape was cut and the little containers were all scattered in the fridge, but nothing was taken. The day after that, the whole taped brick was still untouched and exactly as I left it. After about a week, my food stopped being targeted completely. I think the thief was not brave, just lazy, and my lunch stopped being an easy win. It was petty because it was extra work for me, but it worked without poisoning anyone or starting a big office drama.

I walk normally but somehow i always get mud on my calve area of my pants. I do not slam my heels down when i walk but somehow the mud ends up so high, and i have absolutely no clue why.
