Tuesday, WSJ published a piece about a secret, long-hidden U.S. nuclear base in Greenland buried under 100 feet of ice, which was accidentally rediscovered in late 2024 by a team of NASA scientists testing a radar system. I’m sorry, what? You’re telling me a Cold War-era nuclear base built to house 600 ballistic missiles was uncovered on the arctic island we are currently trying to (mutually, peacefully) commandeer? “Project Iceworm” was part of a “clandestine Pentagon plan” to create subterranean nuclear-missile launch sites in the arctic. And, somehow, it was NOT major news. History brothers are smug and unsurprised, as the base was declassified in 1996 and lost to time after it was abandoned. But nothing is a coincidence, and this development feels important. The past greatness of American presence in Greenland has called out to us from beneath the ice — who are we to ignore its plea? We
ride (diplomatically) at dawn.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen was dragged out of the Capitol Wednesday after interrupting a Senate hearing on public health. “Congress pays for bombs that kill kids in Gaza, and it pays for it by kicking poor kids out of Medicaid,” Cohen shouted, as Capitol Police officers plucked his dumpy, frumpy physique out the aisle. Oddly, I don’t have a problem with boomers chasing the great performative activism highs of 1969, but coming from the kingpin of sugary slop? It’s a bit too rich for me. I also question the true motive here. We all know Emperor Bobby’s coming for Ben & Jerry’s putrid imitation ice cream, a pig swill laden with canola oil, carrageenan, and half a dozen other chemicals. By all means, protest the ‘whatever it is exactly that’s happening abroad today,’ but at a hearing on public health? Not the ice cream guy. Not ever. RFK, my liege — smite this pasteurized heathen.

Users on X dot com the everything app noticed a peculiar pattern emerging from the site’s Grok AI tool this week: namely, it couldn’t stop ranting about white genocide in South Africa, unprompted, in response to completely unrelated queries. For example, when one user asked about the salary of an MLB pitcher, Grok responded that “some argue white farmers face disproportionate violence, with groups like AfriForum reporting high murder rates and citing racial motives.” Thanks, Grok, very helpful! I asked the bot about the phenomenon, and it explained this wasn’t the result of any explicit programming, but rather a byproduct of the X posts it’s trained on being “weighted too heavily” to the topic, compounded by a common glitch in AI systems known as “anchoring.” In other words — what did you expect? Grok’s trained on your uncle’s drunk tweets. Admittedly not great, but better than your mentally ill
Aunt Sophie’s Bluesky account? Gosh, it really is a Sophie’s choice.
