Denmark is a kingdom of three countries: Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
While the country of Denmark is sanctioning Russia, The Faroe Islands has now made a new fishing agreement with Russia, allowing Russian fishermen to sail into Faroese waters to catch fish.
I am of Faroese descent myself, and I love the Faroese people, but this decision is yet another proof, Faroese politics are controlled by selfish business moguls.
Shame on the Faroese parliament!

@palmoildetectives the Faroese kill around 1,000 pilot whales per year, after the whales have lived lives in freedom.
Denmark kills 17,000,000 pigs every year after they have lived in the concrete prisons we have built.
Living in Denmark, I feel in no position to criticize the Faroese in this regard.

We finally got our #Merchtodon !!
The shipping price apparently covered the import taxes, which sweetened the deal.
Now I must figure out how to turn that into a #corgi shirt.

The EU has passed the AI Act โ another set of rules that let them fine US big tech companies since there arenโt any European ones.
The law will require foundation models, including GPT & Gemini, to comply with transparency obligations before they are released to the public. These include respecting EU copyright law and providing a summary of training data. There also rules around preventing systemic risks.
Failure to comply results fines of โฌ35M or 7% of global revenue

Being bald is pretty great, with one small quibble: my head gets cold quickly. I wear a hat indoors sometimes because of it.
Other than that, 10/10, will keep my head shaven.
