Jos tämä hallitus onnistuu erikseen kieltämään *kompostitarkastukset*, että ihmisiä kyllä saa tarkastella ja kytätä, ja pitääkin, mutta komposteja suojaa absoluuttinen kypsymisrauha, jota jumalauta ei viranomainen häiritse - niin mitä tästä touhusta pitäisi aikuisen ihmisen ajatella?

Wow. Several years ago, it would be hard to imagine a story like this. Now, it's not routine, but not anyhing out of the ordinary. A ground robot evacuated a 77 year old Ukrainian lady from Lyman. Her home of 53 years was destroyed by Russians.

Tämä sitaatti vanhasta Twitteristä on pakko tallettaa tänne: "Vaari, millaista oli elämä ennen ilmastosotia?" "Polteltiin turvetta." "Mutta eikö siihen aikaan jo..." "Turvetta." "Mutta..." "Turve." -Antti Arnkil (2020)

so, I changed the title and header image of today’s post. I think more accurately depicts our current state of affairs, and aligns better with the narrative I wrote below it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. now go read the damned thing: bit.ly/4cD4eIb

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Remember when the metaverse was sold to higher ed as an essential part of the future of learning (especially online)? And how colleges and universities should go all-in on the metaverse so they could be "pioneers" of this new technology? There's a lesson here for those who choose to learn it.

If you didn't know this already have a fact to brighten your day. This is my cat Boris when he played Jones in Aliens. He was picked because he would hiss on camera because he was not a nice guy.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Yksi elämäni pysäyttävämmistä hetkistä oli vierailu Auschwitzin keskitysleirillä. On vaikea käsittää, millaisten tapahtumaketjujen päätteeksi ihminen ryhtyy järjestelmällisesti tuhoamaan toisia ihmisiä. Kansanmurhan esivaihe on jonkin väestöryhmän dehumanisointi ja esittäminen turvallisuusuhkana.

Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.

Yes the US has reached the ”nothing is true and everything is possible” stage. Refer to Russia for further information how it continues from there

Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

At least I knew which country I wanted to invade. #davos26

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Mitä tarkoittaa, kun säästetään ”valtionhallinnosta”. No mm. tätä. Suomen ympäristökeskuksella on heikommat edellytykset tukea ympäristönsuojelua.

I'm sure if we just give that Hitler fellow the Sudetenland, we'll have peace for our time.

"Give me the peace prize or I'll kill you" seems like a pretty funny joke until it literally unfolds on the world stage

Question in Copenhagen: why is Trump focussed on a Russian threat that doesn't exist (in Greenland) as opposed to one where it does (Ukraine)?

I remember a time when this headline would have been in The Onion, not Financial Times

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”

The Whitehouse's new Jan 6th page is filled with lies, misrepresentation, and reality denial. It's a clear attempt to rewrite history and frame Trump in heroic terms. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Tutkijat lähtivät hankkeesta poliittisen sekaantumisen vuoksi – tieto vetäytymisestä haluttiin kätkeä "Johtoryhmän julkisen kokoonpanon mukaan siellä istuu esimerikiksi maa- ja metsätalousministeri Sari Essayahin (kd) valtiosihteeri Päivi Nerg." www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2...

No huhhuh Koska viimeksi olet nähnyt ministeriön raportin, josta tutkijat irtisanoutuivat, koska poliittinen ohjaus siinä oli liian rajua? www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2...

A few thoughts on the new US national security strategy that was released today. 🧵 www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

US national security strategy. Something sure is unrecognisable here, but it’s not Europe. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Ukraina: neljä vuotta sotaa, länsimaiden hallitusten laiminlyöntejä ja viimeisimpänä suurvaltojen petturuutta tulitaukoneuvotteluissa. Hesari: vitun Sanna Marin.

Elon Musk thinks that he is owning liberals with this meme, but he’s actually perfectly describing Russia’s actions in Ukraine, which he supports

Uutismediat poimivat aiheita somesta. Lähdekritiikki on tärkeää: 1) Mitkä tahot, eri maissa, aihetta somessa nostattavat? 2) Onko volyymi aitoa vai ei? ”Trollaus” ei tässä ole vain läppää, vaan pyrkimystä vaikuttaa yleiseen mielipiteeseen - ja journalistien uutisvalintaan. yle.fi/a/74-20195690

Some notable things in what's being called the "Trump peace plan" but which could not have been more clearly written in Moscow if it came with a 2 for 1 deal on tickets to the Bolshoi Ballet. 🧵

These are not serious people.

Sisäministeri Rantanen saa oman ICE:n? Ei säännöksiä eduskunnan osallistumisesta, oikeasuhtaisuudesta, välttämättömyydestä. Ei tarvittaisi edes hallituksen päätöstä vaan sisäministeri päättäisi itse. Poliisilakiin ehdotetun uuden 15k §:n 3 mom. antaisi avoimen harkintavallan lähettää ICE kaduille

What it would look like if Finnish followed French orthography.  As someone who probably still goes as Mrs. Yanne in some French records, this somehow breaks my brain :D. (BTW still bigly mad that literary Finnish wasn't codified based on Savo dialect. It would've been gloriously silly.)

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain. Nobody with any sense or decency should be there. No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there. Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.
