A constitutional referendum was held and the union between Iceland and Denmark was dissolved on Jón Sigurðsson's 133rd birthday: June 17, 1944.
Happy National Day, Iceland! 82 years!
There's even a bit where the kid is playing with the Conan-voiced toy, and in their imagination, the toy has Conan's hair.
I wish I could've been proud of my odd self when I was younger. Took me to my mid thirties to finally say "fuck it." I'm proud of my neurodivergent brain.
Beer was banned in Iceland until 1989 and was only available at the airport where you had technically “left” the country.
But it’s still practically law that Icelanders must have a beer at the airport no matter the time, even if it’s 5 am and they haven’t even had coffee yet.
hm I wonder what happened "on or about January 11th" that might've merited an "Emergency Meeting on Resistance to ICE Operation."
Holy shit, she's my age. That's far too young.

Drop everything, see the new Toy Story. Yes, it is worth it. Yes, you will cry. It is so stinking cute and it will make your heart feel all the feels in the best way.
Also Conan O'Brien is in it and he's flipping fantastic.
Today, June 17, is Iceland National Day (Þjóðhátíðardagurinn), celebrating Iceland's independence from Denmark. When the Nazis occupied Denmark in April of 1940, Iceland was at first occupied by the British, then the Americans, and then they said "fuck it, let's finish what Jón Sigurðsson started."
Happy Þjóðhátíðardagurinn Iceland!! Someone please tell the Fjallkonan I say hi.
They shouldn't have messed with his red swingline. Now look. Now he's the greatest character actor of all time.
