@occult Yes, but @lauren was asking about Mastodon, not ActivityPub, and the people at mastodon.social are uninterested in E2E encryption, since the only thing that matters for them right now is growing their little kingdom to sell out at one point.

Dear EU,If you'd like to keep Greenland Danish again, the call you need to make is the following: "Yes, Mr President? Yes. Yes. Very happy to talk to you Sir. And a good year to you too Sir, I am sure things are going great on your side.Now, if I may, about Greenland. Yes, yes, Sir.I am sorry to inform you that if you keep threatening Greenland, the ECB as well as the Bank of England will start selling 1 billion dollars of US Treasury bond until you stop and desist. No sir, per hour."

And if you were wondering why, exactly, Trumpolino wants to control Greenland, threatens Canada and attacked Venezuela... Search no more:

And when China is the sound of reason... It's time to worry:In response to a question [...], Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson [...] said: “China has stated its position on multiple occasions on Greenland.“The international law underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter is the foundation of the current international order and must be upheld.“We urge the US to stop using the so-called “China threat” as a pretext for itself to seek selfish gains.”(Ouch)

But Love of my Life made some lasagna for dinner, so I have got that going for me, which is nice.By the way, allow me to digress for a minute there: have you noticed that in the US, everything is 'world famous' if you go to a mediocre restaurant?Well, Love of my Life's lasagnas are world famous, because she made some in the US and some in Europe. And they were excellent on both sides of the pond.All of this to say, I am feeling a lot better about those glasses now.
