Itβs been 1 year since a little orange fluffball climbed my leg in the parking lot at work. Since then Dandy has grown to be a part of Spikeβs and my family. Sheβs also gained a bunch of aunts and uncles here and I hope has brought some joy into the world. Happy Gotcha Day Dandy!
E OFFICIAL STATEMENT Government of Heard Island Office of the Prime Minister To the White House, The Government of Heard Island acknowledges receipt of your so-called "tariff ultimatum," issued under the pretentious pretense of economic strategy. This is not a negotiation. This is not a plea. This is not a request for exemption from your performative trade tantrums. This is the final frostbitten word from a sovereign Antarctic territory that refuses to be economically colonized by a reality TV reject. Flip off, you block-headed kiddiediddlers. Respectfully disinterested, PM Tuxley Prime Minister of Heard Island
JUST IN: Heard Island Government responds before the midnight Tariff deadline with what can only be described as ice cold diplomacy. @cnn.com @msnbc.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @nbcnews.com @theguardian.com @australia.theguardian.com @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social @us.theguardian.com @theonion.com

July 2025 To: The Executive Office of the President 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C., USA Subject: Your Most Recent Tariff Missive(s) Dear White House Strategists, Sitting on eggs continuously for 54 days in minus 20 degrees is, frankly, easier than trying to make sense of your current tariff strategy. We've checked our calendars thrice-are we on Day 90 or 105 of this economic stand-off? We'd request clarification, but we're reasonably sure you'd sanction that too. We're loathe to admit it, but on this matter we find ourselves in rare agreement with Brazil's President Lula: the world does not, in fact, require an emperor. Least of all one perched precariously atop a melting economy, dictating terms to islands most Americans couldn't point to on a globe even if bribed with krill. Before these tariffs, our contact with humanity was limited to the occasional sunburnt glaciologist and a few UN observers who came mostly for the penguin chorus. Now, thanks to your trade aggression, we've acquired: - Three fully operational F/A-18 Hornets (painted in icy matte, thank you for asking), - The enthusiastic backing of several thousand confused yet passionate humans, - A Press Secretary with a debilitating anxiety disorder (Miss Penguline Levity, whom we advise you not to email directly), - And a waitlist of 47,000 immigration requests, 312 of which are from your own diplomatic staff. This escalation has turned our quiet, flightless republic into an accidental geopolitical flashpoint. We are, as you might imagine, irritated. Not furious-just frostily disappointed. Let us be clear: Heard Island has no intention of becoming a player in your drama. We are content to govern our guano-covered rocks with dignity, sovereignty, and minimal Wi-Fi. If this is difficult for you to accept, we recommend a long walk on thin ice.
Response sent to the White House. Summary: The planet doesnβt need an emperor dictating trade. Mainland Antarctica already has millions of Emperors, and even their droppings do more good than the White Houseβs globally destabilizing policies.
In other words, go take a long hike on thin ice.
I am so sorry. β€οΈππ’

I suppose I owe it to all of you who are new and absolutely appalled at my views on travel to let you know that I've been like this for a long time and have rules I expect you all to follow:

Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, says Greenland is still not for sale as Donald Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk arrive to put on some bizarre show.
She said that Greenland's PM, MΓΊte Egede, "has been very, very clear" that they don't intend to become part of the U.S.
No means no, Trumps.

It was in this early aftermath, before the alternate reality hardened, that a memorial was proposed. A simple plaque honoring the Capitol defenders was decided on, and it was written into a bill that was passed and signed into law in early 2022.
The plaque, it said, would be put in within a year.

Many of you are getting to know Lily, my goofball kitten. But for years, I lived with a wonderful cat named Carla. This is the tribute I wrote for her when she passed away last spring.
