Paras aika investoida infraan on silloin, kun taloudella menee muuten huonosti. Kuten nyt.

🚨Adolf Hitler rose from political outcast to absolute ruler by exploiting fear, division, and public despair. As democratic institutions bowed to his will, freedom vanished. His rise is more than history—it’s a warning of how tyranny takes hold in plain sight. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

Sumerians Look On In Confusion As God Creates World https://theonion.com/sumerians-look-on-in-confusion-as-god-creates-world-1819571221/

Russia conducts scores of terrorist attacks in a single night in Ukraine. That's the headline. Russia is a terrorist state.

Russia only ever denies having plans to attack you when they are planning to attack you.

The drone incursions over airports and other installations will keep happening and continue to spread as long as it remains a risk-free way of destabilising Western Europe without any consequences.

Why is Russia's oil company Lukoil and its subsidiaries still allowed to operate all over Europe, generating cash for Putin's war machine?

Jos fossiilisten polttamista voi tukea miljoonilla, niin aivan yhtä hyvin voisimme laittaa resursseja koulutukseen, sote-palveluihin, hyvinvointiin; tieteeseen, ja tutkimukseen; vihreään infraan ja luonnon ennallistamiseen, sekä ilmastotoimiin. Mutta hallitus ei halua. yle.fi/a/74-20183984

Sometimes I feel exhausted by the constant onslaught of stupid things being said and done and it makes it feel pointless or draining to acknowledge. But it's worth putting counter messaging out there or the stupid things will be all anyone hears and that is worse.

Autism is: fine, common, normal The problem is a world where only some brains are valuable/able to succeed. If we are concerned about Autism as a "problem," there are real tangible things we could be doing to make the world better for everyone instead of pretending we can prevent neurodiversity.

*Taps the picture*

Something tells me russia plans to strike NATO countries with drones

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

If you bought Rheinmetall stock when the war started, you made quite some money: Rheinmetall went from 80€ to 1935€ over the last 3 years. More on the German defence industry here: www.worldpoliticsreview.com/germany-arms...

Has there ever been a successful Franco-German fighter program?

Tankie. In 1956 far left was split between those who felt condemning US military actions meant they had to do the same to USSR for Hungary and Stalinists who said "send in the tanks". Hence Tankie. 🔗👇

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

Jos et kannata varallisuuden rajoittamista, katson sinun kannattavan harvainvaltaa. Koska sitähän se rajoittamaton varallisuus tarkoittaa. Jos väität, että efektiivisesti rajat kuitenkin ovat, pyydän esittämään millaiset, miten, ja entä käytännössä.

Valtion pitäisi investoida kasvuun, ei pelastaa kannattamattomia firmoja tai toimialoja.

YES, NO. When did journalists lose the ability to retain and clearly state established fact? When did we decide everything, even scientific consensus, must be culture warred for clicks, even if that war puts women in harm’s way? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

President of Poland Nawrocki: Russia's aggression against 🇺🇦is not just a regional conflict.It’s a test of whether the principles on which the UN is based will stand the test of time,or whether they will succumb to the weight of the imperial ambitions of a state which considers itself above the law

⚡️Stopping Putin is cheaper now than trying to protect every port and ship from terrorists and naval drones, — Zelensky

Yes, drones are great and have a huge impact on the battlefield, but if I hear one more analysis of the future of war with ”We are witnessing a huge change when a cheap drone can kill an expensive tank”, I am going to start questioning the general knowledge of the history of anti-tank weapons… 🤨

The rest of the world will follow. The only question is who will sell them. China, Europe, or the US?

Carbon Footprint is literally a propaganda campaign from BP, so...

@umland.bsky.social: “The Cold War in Europe until 1989 remained cold, not because the West was cautious and Germany was peaceful, but because NATO stood united and resolutely confronted Moscow, responding to every provocation with an adequate counteraction.” ⤵️

Has there ever been a time, anywhere, when a right-wing government has brought economic prosperity to the masses?

Another update from the “learn from the errors of others” department. Under the most right wing government in #Finland ‘s history, the #unemployment trend breaches 10% for the first time since the horrible depression of the early 1990s. AT A TIME THE REST OF THE EU IS RECOVERING.

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

🤯🤯🤯 Trump: I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.

Your leaders call what we do to you "hybrid war". Because if they called it "war" you might expect them to do something about it.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

FWIW I actually don’t really buy the idea that legacy media is so credulously favourable to the far right in the UK or US because they agree with them; I think they basically don’t, & therefore have convinced themselves all charges from the right of their own bias are true & they must counteract it

LLMs are fundamentally incapable of discerning facts from fiction.

Their primary ideology is protecting their wealth. Everything else is secondary.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

We already had Russia kill hundreds of Europeans on #MH17 and we essentially did nothing.

In 1933 Germany, the first thing the regime did was muzzle the press and silence dissent. Newspapers were shut down, journalists jailed, opposition voices branded as enemies of the state.

If this continues, very soon the rich will own everything, most will own nothing, and the middle class will disappear. A return to feudalism.

I’m in Vienna right now. A city which went from being the intellectual and cultural capital of the world to a “provincial backwater” (to quote Brian Barry) in a couple of decades due to nationalism, anti-semitism and fascism which drove away the leading scholars and artists it didn’t murder.

Venäjä hakee ihan tosissaan sitä, missä se lännen punainen viiva menee. Mitä myöhemmin se viiva löytyy, sitä vakavampi tilanne on.

ngl meta could make the most impressive wearable hardware ever made but i wouldn't trust them based on how many privacy scandals they already have had and tried to sweep under the rug, the idea of having the Zucc Crack Team able to spy through my POV 24/7 is enough for me

For reference. And note that there were no adverse consequences for Turkey. It’s the only language that Putin understands. Words won’t change his calculus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Ru...

The solution is well known and used by Turkey on Nov. 24, 2015. “Deep concerns” are useless. The other NATO countries must act in the same way as soon as this happens again. Otherwise, russia will continue and go further. Such a response is key to credible deterrence. www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Apropos of nothing in particular.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.
