Greece, Israel boost military ties amid Gaza genocide
Greece is interested in jointly developing weapons with Israel, Greek officials have told Al Jazeera.
“We’re an excellent customer of Israeli systems,” Angelos Syrigos, chairman of the Greek parliament’s Defence Affairs Committee, said. “The leap in our defence relationship will happen when there’s co-production of defence systems and common planning.”

Greenland shatters temperature record, redrawing economy from fishing to minerals
Greenland experienced its warmest January on record this year, as a rate of warming four times faster than the global average redraws the outlook for sectors from fishing to mining.
Preliminary temperature readings averaged +0.2 degrees Celsius (32.4 degrees Fahrenheit) in January, the highest on record and well above the historical average of -7.7 degrees between 1991 and 2020.

“We can’t even buy our own land ourselves, but Trump wants to buy it - that’s so strange to us,” said Kaaleeraq Ringsted, 74, in Kapisillit, a tiny settlement of wooden houses clinging to the shore of a fjord east of the capital, Nuuk.
“Since childhood, I have been used to the idea that you can only rent land. We have always been used to the idea that we collectively own our land.”

Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, does not have private freehold ownership of land.
“In Greenland, you can’t own the land,” Blidorf said. “It’s been like that ever since our ancestors came here. Today you have the right to use the area where you have your house.”
Nearly 90% of Greenland’s 57,000 population are indigenous Inuit, who have inhabited the island continuously for around 1,000 years.

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.
When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

Good vs Evil
"One of the heaviest misconceptions we grow up with and one that becomes a deep well of frustration in adulthood, is the idea that 'in the end, Good defeats Evil'. As you age and learn the inner workings of the world, you notice the impossibility of that statement. Evil is far more resourceful, for it is not limited by moral codes or 'red lines'. To Evil, everything is permissible; it holds nothing sacred and knows no conscience."

![One of the heaviest misconceptions we grow up with and one that becomes a deep well of frustration in adulthood, is the idea that 'in the end, Good defeats Evil'. As you age and learn the inner workings of the world, you notice the impossibility of that statement. Evil is far more resourceful, for it is not limited by moral codes or 'red lines'. To Evil, everything is permissible; it holds nothing sacred and knows no conscience.
Good, however, is defined by the lines it cannot cross. There are deeds that cannot be committed without sacrificing the very qualities that make Good 'good'. Once those lines are blurred, little remains to differentiate the two. Thus, the arsenal of Evil is inherently richer.
'In the end, Good does not defeat Evil'. Yet, this does not mean Evil stands victorious. In the end, it is Evil that defeats Evil.
[...]
It is terribly painful to admit that, in this world, Good is not as 'powerful' as Evil in the way we typically measure strength. A significant part of me shall never accept this and will continue to fight against it with every fiber of my being. It seems a cruel joke that Good must win by the self-destruction of its enemy, while Evil wins by design. But if the only way to gain that 'power' is to become as ruthless as the Shadow, then the price is too high. I will continue to rage against this imbalance, even as I try to hold onto the mercy that infuriatingly is our only real hope.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/013/493/471/051/531/original/559254b4de0c8f5a.png)

日本高市早苗首相在1/18發表眾院解散選舉，將在2/8投票。
這對日本的政壇、包括她所屬的自民黨都是一個震撼彈，高市首相的消費稅政策與之前的政策有極大的差異，「限定期間食品消費稅0」這對近年持續提高消費稅來應對政府財源的政策「方向」有極大牴觸。
日本是個偏向保守的國家，循前例、循能順利運作的「成功」經驗是日本政治人物、官僚的一種本能。
高市早苗這次的眾院解散選舉，可以看出她在眾院甚至黨內受到極大的壓力及挑戰，因此她直接訴諸國民的選擇，坦白講高市早苗成為首相是一種自民黨內的妥協選擇，高市早苗雖然是自民黨出身，但她並不是因為掌握了自民黨而出線。
當黨與個人政治理念有所牴觸時，失去黨的支持高市首相的政治改革也難以執行，恐怕是因為這樣的預期，所以才會發生這個突然的眾院解散。
這個選舉是國民對於高市早苗政策的一個認同投票，「支持高市早苗政策的議員」是否被日本選民接受是一個重點。這不只是高市早苗對其他政黨、同時也是她對自己所屬的自民黨的挑戰，同時也顯露出她是為了「能改革」所以要做首相，如果不能不做首相也罷這樣的氣魄，是她賭上政治生命的大挑戰。

日本眾院選舉在高市早苗的帶領下自民黨聲勢大好。
台灣很多人認為是高市早苗的風格、行動力、政策方向打動了民眾。
不過兩個禮拜前，高市早苗的眾院解散受到的批判是前所未有的。而且自民黨內的聲浪更大。
但現在的情況是為何呢？
其實狀況很單純，同時也是天時地利下才衍生出來的人和。
因為選舉時間實在太短了，短到自民黨內的議員沒有時間跟反高市的他黨集結、沒有時間讓議員獨自發展自己的議題、主張。又適巧日本遇到了大雪的天候更壓縮了整個選舉流程。各候選人的求生本能讓他們向高市早苗靠攏。在高市早苗派系下幾名明星人物的加持下、在高市早苗派系的保證下他們才有選票。
本來高市早苗的盤算是要靠國民的支持度來形成這局面，可是天時在她身上，重重被壓縮的選舉時間讓黨內的反對者停止議論，形成一個以高市早苗為首的新的自民黨內派系。
天時地利、加上努力中、運氣中匯成的人和。這是一個非常戲劇化的日本選舉。
繼大谷翔平後、又一個現實超越漫畫、戲劇的案例。高市早苗很像弘兼憲史筆下的政治最前線的主角、有偶像劇HERO的正義感跟親民感、有CHANGE的政治家理型。
高市早苗的未來如何還難斷定，但相信日本漫畫家今後會很傷腦筋🙏
