Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up." What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today?

Kummallinen sumutusyritys. Eivät liberaalit oikeistonaiset ole yhtäkkiä muuttuneet vasemmistolaisiksi. Kokoomus itse vain käpertyy päivä päivältä tiukemmin taantumukselliseen konservatiivisuuteen. Ihmekö tuo, jos ovi käy. Liberaali kokoomuslainen! Kurkkaa eroakokoomuksesta.fi Vaihtamalla paranee!😉

I really, really, really don't intend to downplay all the very real and, in too many cases, mounting problems in the world today. But I do think it is easy to miss genuine progress, because it usually happens just too slowly for individual humans to easily notice. And that often leads to despair.

I wonder how much of this is caused by features of social media platforms and their algorithms and how much is caused by their content creation being dominated by the young terminally online unemployed. Employed people and people with families just don't have the time or energy to shape the vibes.

So I just learned about the 1986 airplane hijacking attempt in #Oulu, #Finland, and now you too are going to. Because I burst out laughing in a train reading about it. It has: ✔️beer (lots)! ✔️hijinks! ✔️weird occult Nazis! ✔️✔️✔️"HYPNOTIC-MAGNETIC GAZE!" Why oh why this isn't a movie yet! (a THREAD.)

Pekka Siitoin (1944-2003), the Reichsführer of Finland (self-employed), a satanist and a "raunchologist" in his latter years. In the photo, an old man dressed in a red cape and shorts, wearing long "horns" on his head and holding a wooden cross upside down, is making a hand gesture. He is sitting on a porch and looks very, very silly.

Among other things, he declared he would be the first Finn to have sex with an "ufo woman," and also knew nifty spells like how to drink a lot of booze but stay sober ("drink two glasses of milk and eat 200 g of cheese. Then say: 'Oh cow, in You I trust.'")

But he also was convicted of a bombing and arson of a printer of the newspaper of the Finnish Communist Party. Fuck Nazis.

Yritysmyönteinen politiikka ja markkinamyönteinen politiikka on toisensa poissulkevia vaihtoehtoja. Kokoomus on aina ajanut yritysmyönteistä, siis markkinavastaista, politiikkaa. Liberaalipuolue ajaa markkinamyönteistä politiikkaa. Tämä ero unohdetaan politiikassa aivan liian usein.

Finland has always been the major power of European diplomacy. Kekkonen organised the Helsinki conference. Koivisto organised the talks between Gorbachev and Reagan. Ahtisaari negotiated peace in Kosovo, Indonesia, and resolved the Austria-E.U crisis. And you all probably remember Niinistö.
