Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

MAGA is fascist, and Antifa means antifascist. This means anyone who is anti-MAGA is antifa, which means anyone who opposes MAGA is a terrorist. Anyone funding any kind of group that opposes MAGA is a terrorist. That is what he is talking about. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Vaikka monet suomalaiset uskovat olevansa paremmassa asemassa, jos maahanmuuttajien sosiaalietuudet ovat huonommat, totuus on päinvastainen. Etuuksien puute heikentää maahanmuuttajien neuvotteluasemaa työmarkkinoilla. www.verdelehti.fi/2025/09/16/m... #politiikasta #tiedetaivas

🔎 An important element of the Egruien project is in-depth sectoral analysis. As part of Work Package 2, we analyse national historical case studies and use them to develop a theoretical framework.

Quivine Ndomo and I have published this policy brief on how the Finnish government's anti-migrant policies negatively affect the labour market position of migrants, in turn threatening to undermine collective bargaining. This research is part of the CELSI lead JUSTMIG research project.

The Finnish government’s policy changes are weakening migrant workers’ rights and labour protections. A new #JUSTMIG policy brief shows how unions are pushing back to defend fairness and social solidarity. r.jyu.fi/Gn1 @nlillie.bsky.social#JUSTMIG

Unfortunately for Charlie Kirk / everybody, contempt breeds contempt, and engaging in toxic politics that constantly causes conflict, encourages violence, and weakens societal structures has left another family as victims of gun violence. Some Charlie Kirk highlights:

For the first time ever, solar energy became the EU’s top electricity source in June 2025, generating 22.1% of all power – more than nuclear and fossil fuels. This shift helped Europe handle heatwave-driven energy demand while slashing coal use to an all-time low of just 6.1%. imup.cc/PONkoD

It sucks that MURDER, SHE WROTE and THE X-FILES were on the air at the same time but we never got a crossover where Mulder and Scully investigate the astonishing number of murders that happen around Jessica Fletcher.

Somebody needs to "Do it"

This video by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social is required viewing rn. Analyzing the "Somebody needs to do it" meme, and analyzing what led us here. It's absolutely a good watch. youtu.be/zXrjlOE9e50?...

Yliopistojen työehtoneuvottelut jumiutuivat. JUKO, JHL ja Pro ovat jättäneet tänään 22.4. Tampereen yliopistoa koskevan lakkovaroituksen. Vuorokauden kestävä lakko toteutuisi 7.5., jos ratkaisua ei synny ennen sitä. #MeOlemmeYliopisto #lakko

Popes are chosen by God, making them the ultimate Dei hire

Why was it called "Charlie and the *Chocolate* Factory"?! There was ONE room with chocolate. Everything else was just regular candy, thermodynamics-defying technology, and a bunch of European kids that got killed by Europe's apparently lax OSHA regulations...

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that Jason Stanley and Timothy Snyder, the nation’s foremost academics and authors on fascism and tyranny, have essentially fled the country.

The Nobel Peace Prize seems further than ever from Trump's reach. Trump should invade Sweden. Then he can take the Nobel Peace Prize for himself. In fact, while he's there he could take ALL the Nobel Prizes for himself!

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

Awesome! The doggies are back on the doggie thread where they belong. Someone must have fixed the algorithm. Tiuku TD is pleased #DogsOfBluesky

TOTOPOTUS, or The Other President Of The United States is a concept from the 2020 scifi comedy Avenue 5. It is an AI with vague associations to three tech CEOs, Beth Bezos, Mike Zuckerberg, Dusty Musk. It takes ruthless financially motivated decisions. No resemblance to persons living or dead.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

My point is, the mentor has power, and an obligation to use it in ways which are measured against a different yardstick than just student interests. However, this power can be, and often is, misused, and students should have rights. The issue has been much on my mind lately.

Different social media project different realities: how should Rilla engage with Blue Sky?
