I don't know if I would've picked this up from a flea market if Sony wasn't killing physical games. I have many old consoles, one of them might even play this. I also took a pile of "not exactly authentic PS1 games" for free from a different place. This is the way (things are now).

"TV. Game Cartridge
1994 (something in a language I can't read) 765 (something more in a language I can't read)"
Pictures of games that are included.

Well that was scary. For a second there I thought someone had pulled the plug on Bluesky.

The Bluesky feed when starting the app:

"Hmm, the feed server appears to be offline. Please let the feed owner know about this issue.

Message from server: feed unavailable"

This concerns everyone, not just teenagers. The picture is old and the books may be different, but the message remains the same.

A text saying:

Hey Teenagers :
Pay close attention to to the books people try to ban.
Then make a beeline to read those books if you can.
Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned.
Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what's best for you.

Not much has changed in three years. Including my opinion.

My post, shared from ARSE (Australian Research & Space Exploration) three years ago.

Third picture, "The Grand Canyon"

"Finland had been working on keeping homelessness down. Now, with the new government, for the first time in ten years, there was an increase in homeless people. There was also an increase of people temporarily moving to live with relatives and friends."

Vertical is "thousand of people" from one to nine thousand, horizontal is "years" from 2008 to 2024.

The upper (pink) curve is "homeless that live alone", lower (black) curve is "long term homeless".

The lower curve stays nearly the same (2023, 1018 long term homeless --> 2024, 1010 long term homeless).
While the upper curve has a jump at the end (2023, 3400 homeless --> 2024, 3806 homeless).

The graph doesn't show homeless as families, but they went from 2023, 123 families to 2024, 110 families.

It feels ridiculous to share a picture of (a part of) my collection of books, but this is the biggest part that has something in common.

PISA testing says our education is taking a nosedive. Math: 2006 we were #2, 2022 #20 Science: 2006 #1, 2022 #9 Reading: 2006 #2, 2022 #14 Stress levels are also on the rise, throughout the population. By 2021 suicides had reduced, but were still 20% higher than other Nordic countries.
