@jensorensen Trump is The Mule

@jensorensen James O'Brien also wondered if they were only showing Trump Mercator maps so Greenland looks huuuge

@jensorensen

To be fair, colonizing the rugged empty areas of Greenland would be far, far easier and cheaper than colonizing mars. A lot less dead people too. Just - do it with the permission and cooperation of Denmark, who do own it. They're very nice. Make a deal, follow the laws, pay some taxes, and live your rugged utopian heart out.

@tbortels you're forgetting the Indigenous people of Greenland who have the only legitimate say in this matter.

@jensorensen
I suspect they’re drooling over the prospect of “unlimited” thermal power to run their servers.

@emma

I doubt very much the Inuit are occupying the "rugged empty areas" (by which I mean the interior, not the coasts where the current population, native and otherwise, mostly lives) of Greenland most like mars, but sure. Let's ask them too. But - even if they welcomed it with open arms, this is Danish territory by our own treaty with Denmark.

My point is - mars is a suicide trip. The money and time and effort to make things inhabitable for humans should be spent inside our current biosphere.

@jensorensen lol, 'Fascists misunderstanding Science Fiction', when will it ever end?

[emma@orbital.horse]

@tbortels it doesn’t matter if the land in question is uninhabitable, the Indigenous people of Greenland are the only group with any legitimate authority to say who and who doesn’t use that land for anything.

[emma@orbital.horse]

@tbortels yes, we are incapable of settling Mars, but Greenland is not a consolation prize.

@jensorensen Pretty sure the only change to NATO will be the North American Loser Country leaves

@jab01701mid @jensorensen Trump is Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.

@tbortels @jensorensen Now, everybody should take a good look at "Camp Century" (which actually was useful for advancing the science of glaciology): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Century

@jensorensen

The Nazis had the Thule Society, so nothing ever changes.

[jensorensen@mastodon.social]

@anttipeltola Had to look that one up! Fascinating, if disturbing.

@jensorensen if only our politicians would follow the 3 laws of robotics.

Stephen Byerley for president!
