How the United States Could Seek Control of Greenland and the Obstacles It Would Face

How the US could take over Greenland and the potential challenges centers on strong political resistance: Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says a US takeover would effectively end NATO, while many Greenlanders say they do not want to become part of the United States.

Trump Believes Pressure Tactics Could Help the U.S. Acquire Greenland

Trump is said to have concluded from NATO defense-spending talks that threats and tough pressure can move allies, and he is reportedly applying the same approach to his push for Greenland—starting with hostility in hopes of persuading Denmark to sell the territory to the United States.

Small deer confronts a 1.7-ton rhinoceros at a Polish zoo

A viral video from Wroclaw Zoo in Poland shows Tata, a 28-pound Reeves’s muntjac, charging and headbutting Maruśka, a 1.7-ton female rhinoceros, in a brief standoff that ends with the tiny deer seemingly coming out on top. The zoo and commenters treated it as a playful, David-versus-Goliath moment, and a zookeeper said the clash was more hormonal posturing and “theatre” than real danger, with the rhino appearing to have some fun.

The Slowest U.S. Labor Market in Years Is Leaving Job Seekers Struggling

The slowest labor market in years is leaving job seekers stuck, with the U.S. entering the new year at a 4.4% unemployment rate but weak job growth after the slowest monthly pace of gains outside a recession since 2003. With hiring and firing both subdued, unemployed Americans are facing longer job searches, while millions piece together multiple gig jobs to make ends meet.

GB News guest sparks dispute after defending a potential UK ban on X

A GB News debate erupted after one guest defended restricting access to X in the UK, arguing the platform’s Grok tool has enabled illegal AI-generated sexual abuse imagery and that access limits may be necessary if fines fail. The discussion follows government threats of tougher action and an Ofcom expedited assessment, as other panellists warned a ban would be an overreach that could damage public debate and be easily bypassed via VPNs. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said she would back Ofcom if X is found not to comply with UK law.

Texas Instruments Explains Low-Dropout (LDO) Linear Voltage Regulators

Texas Instruments breaks down how low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators work and where they make sense. The video notes that LDOs are often inefficient and sometimes more expensive than switching regulators, so they’re typically best for low-current, low-power cases where the input voltage is close to the desired output. In exchange for poor efficiency at higher loads, LDOs offer simple designs, low dropout voltage, low noise, quick response to load changes with the right output capacitor, and minimal EMI.
