I'm from #Iceland, deeply passionate about #climate issues. As a #humanist and #atheist, I embrace a worldview centered on reason, compassion, and evidence, while remaining open to the many facets that define me.
Þetta var verðskuldað.
"Kjartan var tilnefndur fyrir fréttaskýringar um loftslagsmál á Vísi og fyrir að skýra flókin umfjöllunarefni á mannamáli án þess að afsláttur sé gefinn af fagmennsku."
Old cartoon gets new life.
Ron Cobb’s 1975 critique of the military-industrial complex hits just as hard in 2026.
The perspective shift here is everything: those on the ground looking up at the billion-dollar shadows and seeing a systemic failure, not a show of force.
New Update: $PUSA is officially coming to Nasdaq. The Trump brothers are merging their golf company with drone-maker Powerus to chase a $1.1B Pentagon fund created by their father. The President starts the war, bans the competition, and the sons sell the weapons.
Corruption in the making.
Eric & Don Jr. are turning the Iran war into a family business.
Trump starts war.
Trump bans foreign drone rivals (DJI).
Sons merge their golf co with Powerus to sell 10k drones/mo to the Pentagon.
Their own bank brokers the deal.
The ultimate conflict of interest.
Another day, another country being bombed. It’s hard not to see this as a massive distraction to keep the Epstein files buried. The cycle continues.

I'm happy about the shout-out 😊

That’s a sharp headline. I like it.
Reminder that Lisa Simpson was born in 2018 (the character is canonically 8 years old in present day). She has only known the Trump era.
Bart (always 10) was born in 2016, his baby photos taken with an iPhone 7.
Homer, 39, graduated high school around 2005. He's a millennial.
Poetic irony: Trump’s tariffs were just deemed illegal. Now, corporations must be lining up to sue for refunds.
This guts the regime's primary strategy - the tariffs weren't just a "tax," they were the revenue source and the leverage they planned to use against the world. Back to square one.
Just watched RFK Jr. treating denim like it’s high-performance spandex in that new "Rock Out Work Out" video.
Exercises? Jeans.
Sauna? Jeans.
Cold plunge? Jeans.
Kid Rock? Shorts.
I have so many questions and none of them are about the public health policy.
Bitcoin is officially in free fall. 📉
Down 27% in the last week and over 40% from its recent highs. People are feeling the burn as the "digital gold" starts looking a lot more like monopoly money.
Any song that triggers a reaction like that from Trump has to be good. Adding it to the queue now.
En ekki hvað, það verður að nýta meðvindinn og láta eins og Ísland sé nafli alheimsins í handboltanum. Við getum svo vorkennt okkur seinna þegar Danir vinna allt og við endum í fjórða sæti (samt nokkuð sátt). En, bara kannski, gengur okkur betur.
400k people. One tiny nation. Total European #handball domination.
Iceland just made the semifinals of the #EHFEuro2026! But look at the bracket:
Iceland: Us
Germany: Icelandic coach
Croatia: Icelandic coach
Denmark: Had an Icelandic coach
We aren't just playing the game; we’re exporting it.
Stephen Miller is the architect of this crisis. Under his guidance, chaos isn’t just predictable - it’s the point. A calculated dismantling of the system, one debacle at a time.
Maximum chaos = maximum cruelty
Stephen Miller is the architect of the ICE debacle. These failures are symptomatic of his influence - not merely accidents, but predictable outcomes of a strategy designed to maximize chaos.
A mirror across time: Two regimes, one execution.
European leaders don't trust Trump and his regime after the tumble with Greenland. Treaties are being treated like property deeds and allies like adversaries. By trying to "buy" a sovereign territory through economic threats, the U.S. hasn't gained Greenland - it’s only managed to isolate itself.
Why are the Epstein files still critical? Because it's about holding power accountable, ensuring justice for survivors, and preventing future abuse. The vast majority of documents are still locked away, despite legal mandates. Don't let the conversation die. Demand full transparency. #EpsteinFiles
Germany’s 2026 World Cup boycott debate is heating up.
DFB official Oke Göttlich says the political threat now is "greater" than during the 1980 Olympics. From Greenland tensions to travel bans, the pressure on FIFA is real.
Is sport still "apolitical"?

A Titanic economy.
if it walks like a Nazi.....
Is this incompetence or malice? Why on earth would the White House alter the image this way?
Just saying.
We should live our lives so that our very existence is fascism’s worst enemy - every action a stand against bigotry, racism, and ignorance.
Trump apparently can’t tell one country from another - unless, of course, “acquiring Iceland” is also on his to-do list and he’s just getting confused.
We can look forward to Trump’s speech in #Davos today - more than an hour PLUS of rambling nonsense will be on the menu, with his usual effort to undermine global stability as much as possible.
Well, he seems genuinely happy with "his" trophy.
I am Greenlandic
