FOSSIL FUEL VS.WINTER SPORT
I grew up in Greenland skiing and shooting, and competed for Denmark in biathlon at the Milano Cortina Olympics. But the sport I love is becoming harder to recognize as a winter sport at all.

The 30 Rock team's sporty comeback is a touchdown
THE BEST WAY TO SPEND A THURSDAY NIGHT circa 2010 was to park yourself in front of an NBC comedy lineup that featured The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, and Community. All four shows have since become classics. But some have had more influence on the network- sitcom landscape—one that has never been the same since they ended—than others. The Office and its direct descendant Parks and Rec gave rise to a generation of sweet, faintly progressive mockumentaries: Modern Family, Abbott Elementary, St. Denis Medical. Last year, Peacock unveiled a confoundingly dated Office spin-off, The Paper.

Strength in Numbers
When Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi dissolved parliament just three months into her premiership and called a snap election in January, it was widely seen as a high-risk gamble. Her Liberal Democratic Party had been weakened by scandal, coalition fractures and years of voter fatigue. A loss would almost certainly have ended her leadership. Instead, the bet produced one of the most decisive mandates in modern Japanese politics.
