The Greenland idea goes back (at least) to the 1st term, and there are some indications that it might trace back to, uhh, his handlers; Julia Davis, over on the Bad Place, had the receipts already back in 2022:

A great way to honor Finland's independence day is to sign this citizens' initiative that proposes Finland's withdrawal from the Ottawa treaty which bans anti-personnel mines. Joining made sense back then. It doesn't make sense now. Sign it and help Finland remain Finland and Russia in Russia.

It seems to me like a reasonable response to the personnel choices being made by the incoming administration. They're not exactly shy about wanting to relitigate old grievances. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

The influenza B/Yamagata lineage is the one that's apparently disappeared as a result of the non-pharmacological interventions of the early Covid pandemic.

It must be the time of year that makes Finland's Independence Day seem like such a somber occasion, but it is always a powerful moment and an honor to sing at the graves of those who fell defending that independence. Once again at the Heroes' Cross in Hietaniemi with The Polytech Choir.

Good morning, Tampere! Just switching trains, omw to Seinรคjoki for work. On the left, the dubiously named Solo Sokos Hotel Torni Tampere, and in the background on the right, the Daniel Libeskind desiged towers attached to Nokia Arena, also by him.

Hello, Bluesky! Had the unusual pleasure of being able to listen to my own choir, the Polytech Choir, sing. Works by the hidden gem of Finnish choral music, Aarre Merikanto, and others, including Jennah Vainio, Ismo Alanko, and Sibelius. The House of Nobility in Helsinki is always imposing.
