I find it so disturbing that someone like Tucker Carlson asks more sensible questions than many mainstream journalists, who seemed to have stopped asking critical questions about all things foreign policy.

Autoritäärisen valtion aloituspaketti. Näin helposti se käy. Hieman pelotellaan rikollisilla, venäläisillä ja terroristeilla, niin väki luopuu mukisematta perusoikeuksistaan. Kun valvonta ja pelisäännöt poistetaan, niin luuletteko näitä käytettävän vain mainitsemiini ryhmiin.
Sama kaava joka kerta.

1. Hallitus haluaa poliisille luvan valvoa ihmisiä ilman rikosepäilyä. 2. Jo aiemmin hallitus on esittänyt verottajalle oikeutta päästä kansalaisten tilitietoihin. 3. Hallitus on antanut myös lakiesityksen, jonka avulla poliisi saisi pääsyn potilastietoihin sekä tietoja henkilöiden läsnäolosta.
Perustuslain muuttaminen | Vihreät ja vasemmistoliitto vastustavat suunnitelmaa poliisin valtuuksien lisäämiseksi
Oppositiopuolueet eivät halua, että poliisi saisi valtuudet esimerkiksi valvoa ihmisten koteja ilman yksilöityä rikosepäilyä.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

"Pelkästään tänä vuonna Kanariansaarille on saapunut 28 819 afrikkalaista. Hiljattain paljastui tapaus, jossa 13 alaikäistä siirtolaistyttöä kuljetettiin Lanzaroten saarelta seksiorjuuteen Ranskaan, The Telegraph kuvailee."

Another story in four parts. This polar bear mom went from seemingly sound asleep to full meerkat mode in seconds. Her nose is always on the alert for potential danger to her and her 11-month-old cubs. #Mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿
A female polar bear sleeps stretched out in the snow on a frozen lake. Her two young cubs were snuggled into her hind end. Momma bear in full meerkat mode sniffing the snow-filled air as her two cubs watch. The sudden snow squall swirls around them. Mom resettles and checks on her cubs as the closest one stretches in the snow. The snow still swirls around them. Mom and one cub have resettled back in their sleeping spot while the cub on the end looks out towards the photographer. The snow has eased off again.

The man who planned attacks on the Rotterdam Eurovision Song Festival in 2020 was convicted to 2 years jail. Evidence of plans of mass poisoning the audience.

And not surprisingly given the LGBTQ+ reputation of the Eurovision, he is extreme right and wanted to start a race war. Oh, he's Swedish.

"Tämän koeajon jälkeen olen vakuuttanut siitä, että tykkään tästä autosta. Ostan."

"Ok. Mutta hetkonen, olette opettaja. Julkisen sektorin raha ei lasketa, ei kelpaa täällä. Et voi ostaa auton."

Kuulostaako absurdilta?

Eilen oli muuten taas tällainen julkisen rakentamaa siltaa ei ole olemassa -hetki. Eräs herra täällä kertoi, että julkinen työ ei tuota rahaa. Perusteluja en tietenkään saanut tälle uskomukselle.

Kokosin tilastoja esitystä varten.

Materiaalinen ja sosiaalinen deprivaatio tarkoittaa, että kotitaloudella ei ole varaa vähintään viiteen kolmestatoista perustarpeesta.

Suomessa tämä mittari on noussut voimakkaasti erityisesti työttömien keskuudessa.

Tämä aina huvittaa Alankomaista: päivittäin (tai oikeastaan tunneittain) ilmoitellaa radiossa ruuhkaa t.s. traffic jameista, ja tänään oli yli 1000km sitä.
Maan suurin pituus on kuitenkin vain 430km tms :D

I'm aware, but these are still differences, not defects, and not for political reasons - the use of "birth defect" has had an actual negatice effect on how doctors view and treat children with congenital diferences - but also for scientific ones 1/

Day 2. Woken by my cellmate "Big" Jean, loudly remonstrating with the guards. The breakfast pinot noir was served at 10°C, he complained, which is "uncivilised". He has a point. I immediately set about smoking and bemoaning my derivative art. I hate this place, my paintings, cold wine, Big Jean."

Anyone who has the ability to block out sunlight has the beginnings of a very potent weapon system that could be used to coerce and attack countries or even entire regions.

It is understandable that we don't want Russian firms paying taxes to the Putin regime, but this is not a good side-effect. What if they get fed up and just dump the oil (idk if this is possible at sea)?

There have been announces several trans-Europe hydrogen projects. One mainly from Germany to Sweden (iirc) and the other one from Germany to Poland, Baltics and Finland. Are they still going on or have actors realized hydrogen is probably not the way to go?
