I just had a thought:

If the #USA actually _does_ invade #Canada , then #Tesla cars become valid military targets.

After all, ultimately they are controlled by #ElonMusk , who has already stated that "Canada is not a real country" and largely seems to support whatever inane thing #Trump wants to do.

And Tesla cars are already massive surveillance devices, and could probably be turned into autonomous #drones very easily with a few simple software updates by Tesla.

So... Canada (and #Greenland, etc.) should probably start banning these cars.

And now more of the story about Musk, Greenland, Canada, and 'Technate of America'

The Canadian roots of Elon Musk's conspiracist grandpa – Raised in Saskatchewan, Joshua Haldeman was a tech-utopian, politician and apartheid fan

Elon Musk's grandfather thought government was being badly mismanaged and embraced the solution called Technocracy: that government should be run by scientists and engineers, not politicians.

He also believed an international communist conspiracy ran the banks, the media and the universities and was pushing for the fluoridation of water supplies, mandatory milk pasteurization and mass vaccination programs, which he was against.

“Throughout his childhood, Elon heard many stories about his grandfather’s exploits" and beliefs from his grandmother.

Starting in July 1940, Technocracy began to push for American expansion, arguing for a 'Technate of America,' which would include Canada, Greenland, Central America, the Caribbean and parts of Colombia, Venezuela and the Guianas. #USPol #Canada #Greenland #Musk

Ok…so despite the senile rantings and ravings by #Trump about acquiring Greenland either by purchase or force, I had not clocked the name of the bill on it…

‘Introduced in House (02/10/2025)
Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025

This bill authorizes the President to enter into negotiations with the government of #Denmark to purchase or otherwise acquire Greenland. The bill also renames #Greenland as Red, White, and Blueland.’

Well isn’t that interesting…

“According to the US Geological Survey, the basin off Greenland’s east coast alone contains 31 billion barrels of oil equivalent and west Greenland about half of that. If this was all recoverable, Greenland could become one of the world’s largest fossil fuel producers.”

Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland and what it can tell us about the population in the past and present.
It also really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + how to consider data sovereignty.
Also applicable in #climateScience applications, there's a nice overview here too:

Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)

Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself. Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making this, their debut, the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language. This language choice and the lyrics sung in that language were a revolutionary political statement. Released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark, the album would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule.
