It's utterly impossible to parody the world these days.

The new US #NationalSecurityStrategy is so alarming that I spent hours today on this piece, rather than my real work. We the Europeans, and especially the #NB8 countries in #NATO 's Eastern Flank, MUST prepare to defend our #democracy and deter #Russia by ourselves. jmkorhonen.net/2025/12/05/w...

"Real estate is a positive-sum game — both sides can profit from a well-struck transaction. And that is the goal. In war and peace, when one side holds fascist views and is the clear aggressor and the other side holds democratic views and is the clear victim, you are in a zero-sum game."

The fresh National Security Strategy of the United States. From European perspective reads as if written by a country that is colonialistic and wants to shatter the European Union and bind its member states, and at worst it could be seen as openly hostile. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Veden esiintyminen minineptunuksiksi kutsutuilla Maata suuremmilla eksoplaneetoilla saattaa olla vääjäämätöntä. Havaintojen mukaan korkeissa lämpötiloissa ja paineissa silikaatit vapauttavat happea, joka reagoi vetykaasun kanssa muodostaen merkittäviä määriä vettä. www.avaruus.fi/uutiset/ekso...

Grafiikka Ylen aamun kärkiuutisesta laittaa Majasen puheet outoon valoon, ainakin PK-sektorin osalta.

It's not that I would be against the police or any new legistlation. (Of course THIS legistlation is dangerous -- just look at the United States today.) But an even bigger issue is the way EU comission is pushing it through; it's acting with contempt for the citizens. fightchatcontrol.eu

Europe would like to wean itself off SpaceX’s satellite-internet service, which has been vital to Ukraine’s defence effort. But it is no match for Starlink’s 9,100 satellites

Every time you read the name Stephen Miller in conjunction with the word "immigration," I want you to remember this story from his uncle calling out his bullshit.

For 10 years now, Europe has reacted to every new Trump absurdity with the same response: outrage, handwringing, paralysis. We need to stop staring at the American car crash and finally start driving. Trump serves only himself. Europe must act for itself.👇

“.. This is X in 2025: Potentially fake accounts crying at other potentially fake accounts that they aren’t real, all while refusing to acknowledge that they themselves aren’t who they say they are — a Russian nesting doll of bullshit.” @cwarzel.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"With ‘affordability’ now fashionable in Washington, the White House is scrambling to rebrand its import taxes as a gift to Americans.... [But] the White House is promising a dividend that is far larger than the revenue it actually collects."

Anteeksi nyt etukäteen DVV ja Valtori, mutta tämä on lähes maanpetoksellista toimintaa, kun vielä myönnetään että kolmansien maiden viranomaisilla on todennäköinen pääsy suomalaisten kriittisiin tietoihin. Jollain DVV:n hyväksynnällä ei ole mitään merkitystä AWS:n infrassa.

Kiina rakentaa aurinkoenergiaa nopeassa tahdissa. Dinosaurusmehu ja muut fossiiliset polttoaineet poistuvat hiljalleen käytöstä, kun uusiutuvista vaihtoehdoista on tulossa nopeassa tahdissa sitä halvempia. Haasteena on vielä tuotetun energian siirtäminen ja säilöminen. yle.fi/a/74-20194435

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

Välillä positiivisiakin signaaleja. Fossiiliset polttoaineet ovat joka tapauksessa välivaihe ihmiskunnan historiassa, koska niitä ei riitä loputtomiin ja ne ovat perimmiltään vain säilöttyä aurinkoenergiaa, jota voimme käyttää nykyään suoremminkin tehokkaasti. yle.fi/a/74-20195013

"Democracy isn’t held together by slogans or speeches so much as by a million small moments when people resist the urge to oversimplify one another" A wonderful new essay from @nickallison80.bsky.social that already has almost 1,000,000 reads on @HuffPost Personal www.huffpost.com/entry/vetera...

Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

The DPRK of 2025 is fundamentally different – and far more dangerous – than when Trump last met Kim Jong Un.

In Finland we have an expression "parodiahorisontti", which means the point ("horizon") after which something becomes so absurd that it has become a parody of itself. Often associated with a buraucrat who takes things very literally and pushes them too far and loses all common sense. This qualifies.

Pretty extraordinary story here www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

Not so very different from what we can see even today: "... the prosecution appealed to the jury – this populism echoes today – not to trust “the so-called experts” who had given evidence, but to apply “common sense” instead"

No voi perhanan tekoäly 🤣. Ton mukaan Juhan Af Grannin nimen "Af" tarkoittaisi "As Fuck". Repesin🤣

"Harkinnassa tultiin siihen johtopäätelmään, ettei perhetausta voi muodostaa estettä sopivimmaksi katsotun harjoittelijan valinnalle." -- Eikä varsinkaan silloin, jos nimenomaan perhetausta on "sopivuuden" taustalla? yle.fi/a/74-20191178

There are medical disaster movies that start this way.

Sustained wind speed of 185 mph is so high that it would warrant calling this a category 6 hurricane. Such powerful storms are coming more commonplace. In some areas buildings are now designed to withstand category 5 hurricanes -- so sooner or later the Saffir–Simpson scale needs to be extended.

Työpaikoille on uinut näennäis­tieteellisiä oppeja, joilla ei ole tutkimuksellista pohjaa.

In fairness, asphyxiation has proved highly effective in terminating all these conditions.

“The likelihood that Trump will weaponise the US cloud services may not be huge, but the costs if he does are potentially catastrophic. If the EU wants to Trump-proof its economy and become a strategic power, it needs to act more like one.” on.ft.com/4o56MU9

Jos kasvissyöntiä halutaan lisätä, kasvistuotteista täytyy tehdä yhtä helppokäyttöisiä kuin lihatuotteista. Siksi valmiit raasteet, pilkotut vihannekset ja muut ovat askeleita oikeaan suuntaan. Valmisraasteista möliseville voi sanoa, että ala itse teurastaa ja viipaloida sikasi tai ole hiljaa.

Trump's AI video, showing himself as a pilot dumping shit on Americans, fits right in to a long authoritarian tradition www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Good luck and Godspeed to everyone standing up for #democracy today. Especially to our Ukrainian and American brethren. We democrats either hang together, or hang separately.

Thank you, Congressman, for your steadfast support of #Ukraine. You make excellent points.
