Oh hey it's Bernhard Crusell's 250th birthday today! A Swedish-Finnish clarinetist and composer, he wrote some famous clarinet works and is probably the best known composer from Finland before Sibelius. Any love for Crusell in my little classical bubble?

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians. Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.” It’s a perception game and narrative control.

Monet 1930-luvun kehityskulut tuntuvat toistuvan 2020-luvulla, sanoo lapualaisuuden tutkija

This is the end-state of evolution of the 90s build-it-and-they-will-come -> 00s propose-it-and-we’ll-see-how-it-goes -> 20s this-thing-we-are-still-imagining-will-rule-the-world lunacy of VC culture. And I am here for it.

This is so important, more than ever!

I'm doing an online course on information influencing in media, social media and LLMs. Today I tried three different accounts with Gemini about my questions on democracy and autocracy, and all accounts received different answers, the "empty" one most ambivalent about pros and cons of dictatorship.

Järkyttävintä tässä suunnitellussa velkajarrusäännöstössä on se, että sen muuttamiseksi tarvitaan 3/4 kansanedustajista. Millä oikeudella nykyiset edustajat sitovat tulevien edustajien käsiä vuosikymmeniksi? Onko tätä mietitty kansanvallan kannalta ollenkaan?

Hannah Arendtin vuosipäivän kunniaksi voimme palauttaa mieleen meidän jokaisen vastuun: ”Moraalinen yhteiskunta on riippuvainen ajattelevista yksilöistä. Pahuus ei yleensä ole ideologista, vaan kyvyttömyyttä pysähtyä ajattelemaan itsenäisesti.” Ajattelun avaruutta🙏🏼❤️💫

Paasikivi totesi aikoinaan, että Suomen kansa on helvetin tyhmä.

Poliisi on keksinyt uuden keinon rajoittaa mielipiteenvapautta. "Onko niin, että perussuomalaisten istuessa hallituksessa poliisi saa vapaasti määritellä miten suomalaiset yhteiskuntaansa vaikuttavat? Jos tilanteeseen ei puututa, olemme kovaa tahtia matkalla kohti poliisivaltiota".

Researchers in Leeds have joined experts from across the world in warning that Earth is reaching the first of many climate tipping points that will cause catastrophic harm without urgent action. #climatecrisis #tippingpoint #auspol www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article...

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

We live in a time of great illusion. Corrupt politicians, greedy billionaires, and sleazy priests proclaim victory and a golden age. Instead, amidst this lie, we soon see a collapse everywhere from the economy to the ecosystem. Bubbles burst one after another. Then we wonder how this happened again.

On Lt Columbo Day never let us forget the episode where Columbo explains to a fitness guru how Mrs Columbo is thick, that he likes her thick, and how he will do anything within his power to keep her thick

Moratorium on posh novelists/screenwriters writing about working class people disrupting a posh family out of spite & desire; more novels by working class people writing working class characters who occasionally have to interact with the rich and are like: what the fuck is this bullshit.

Have you ever been lost in a video game level, wandering empty halls, until you know you're going the right way because you finally run into enemies? Because you don't know what to do without conflict? Well some people live their real lives that way

Is there even a video game narrative equivalent of Matilda? Revenge quest for a little girl? TLOU2 maybe in some sense, but that’s not quite the same. Make it more personal about the MC (no avenging fridged side characters) and more nuanced than an escalating power fantasy linear line go up.

Kansantalouden rahoituskestävyys on tärkeä yhteiskunnallinen kysymys. Valitettavasti se on kamalan huonosti ymmärretty asia. Siksi tein tällä viikolla tämän "hätäketjun".

It’s nice on this platform to unexpectedly see conversations about books that are interesting to read. I loved a comparison between Dahl’s Matilda and King’s Carrie the other week for example. Fun and interesting.

Fashy Cinemasins That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Exhausted emotionally now all the time. It’s not just the GOP-stanning government in Finland and what that entails, it’s also watching my professional world crumble, and survivors write peppy motivational speeches about how great the scene is. (A lot of it depends on children’s gambling addiction.)
