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?

This is correct. We got so proud of statistics like in this article that we got complacent. Complacency is incredibly dangerous.

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.

Tuohan on ihan mielekäs tutkimuskysymys laskelmille. "ees tää ei riittäis" tyyppinen reunaehto. Poistaa monta muuta kysymystä pöydältä. Se, että ei oo mitenkään mahdollista, että kaikki työttömät työllistyis, on täysin merkityksetöntä sen kannalta, onko tuollaista asiaa järkevää laskea.

I struggle to communicate my fury about the easing of sanctions on Russia's oil as a result of the Iran war. Unlike basically anything suggested as an objective in this fool war, containing Russia's ability to brutalize and dominate Eastern Europe *actually is* a vital US security interest.

It was definitely a disaster for Britain but at this point I'd be squeamish about letting them back in. British politicians who would become MEPs would vote for all kinds of restrictions on individual rights and liberties that rest of Europe might otherwise reject. Dangerous political shift.

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.

Picture from https://mubi.com/en/cast/pekka-siitoin , details from https://turunaika.fi/jutut/okkultistista-naantalin-natsiksi/ and https://www.hs.fi/helsinki/art-2000006441407.html

Rauha ukrainassa on sitä suurempi uhka Suomelle, mitä enemmän venäjä saavuttaa valloitussodalla, koska se on palkinto ja kannustin aloittaa aina uusia valloitussotia. Suomen etu on, että Venäjän kyky valloittaa alueita naapurvaltioiltaan on mahdollisimman pieni ja pysyy mahdollisimman pienenä.
