How much would it cost to buy Greenland? Trump's dream of "the biggest real estate deal in history"
For more than a hundred years, American politicians have occasionally cast covetous glances toward Greenland, the world's largest island, which occupies a strategically important position between North America and Europe due to its location. But it was only U.S. President Donald Trump who revived this idea with unprecedented vigor. He first mentioned it in 2019 during his initial term, but after his re-election in 2024, he elevated it to the level of a national security priority. The Trump administration presents it as a necessary step against Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic, access to critical minerals, and defense of the northern border.

Men Who Go To War
This morning started a fire within me about how our military in the US is being run. They have taken the LGBTQ+ out of the military, while using the phrase "REAL MEN GO TO WAR". This morning I woke and started my doom scrolling on TikTok, when a TikToker by the name of The Infernum Asylum (warning: it is a man dressed up as a demon per se, however, his words are true) gave the story, THE TRUE STORY behind the phrase, behind the movie 300. I remember when I was heavily involved in Greek History and Mythology when I was in High School, and vaguely remembered as I listened to his video.

Wonder Man Was Everything I've Missed From Marvel
When I first read that Marvel was developing a show dedicated to Wonder Man, I can't say I had very big expectations as I have no real connection to the character, but the idea of a stuntman turned superhero intrigued me! But having finished the entire show, I can confidently say Wonder Man has set the precedent for what I expect Marvel Studios to release this year, and may be one of my favorite stories the studio has told in the last 7 years. It's no secret that the MCU has been struggling to release worthwhile projects in the aftermath of their colossal saga ending film Avengers Endgame. While there has been some good movies and shows, Marvel studios seemed more interested in quantity over quality, with great projects becoming the exception rather than the rule. This was the opposite of what the Marvel Cinematic Universe had been known for in it's early years , where two films a year made for a sharper more consistent focus that the studio has struggled to maintain.

Why Aircraft Components Are Built for Decades, Not Years. AI-Generated.
Modern aircraft are not designed with short lifespans in mind. Unlike consumer products that are replaced every few years, aircraft components are expected to remain safe, functional, and reliable for decades. This long-term approach is not accidental; it is the result of strict regulations, conservative engineering, and a safety culture that prioritizes endurance over convenience.

Who Could Be The Next Leader of Iran
As the cameras roll and analysts sharpen their talking points, the United States appears to be quietly assembling the pieces for a major military move in the Middle East—one that, if carried through, could aim directly at the heart of Iran’s political system. Whether this buildup ultimately leads to the removal of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, remains uncertain. Even senior officials in Washington admit as much. But the harder question, and the one that matters most, isn’t how such a move would happen. It’s what comes after.

Why Aircraft Components Are Overbuilt on Purpose . AI-Generated.
When we look at an aircraft, it’s easy to be impressed by its size or complexity but what many people don’t realize is that every part of an aircraft is engineered to be stronger and more reliable than it ever strictly needs to be. In aviation, nothing is left to chance. What may seem like “overbuilding” to the untrained eye is actually a deliberate, essential aspect of engineering that keeps passengers safe thousands of times a day.
