Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Next Monday I’ll get chat with the one and only Mr. Henry Mintzberg! While he’s best known for reshaping how we think about strategy and organisations, the focus will be something else: his remarkable collection of 'beaver sculptures', i.e. wood sculpted by beavers www.juhuu.nu/beaver-sculp...

Taidekoulujen rahoituksen päättyminen ei ole siis osoitus niiden toiminnan heikkoudesta, vaan hallinnollisen tahdon puutteesta. Kun Kela onnistui löytämään ratkaisun opintotukeen, olisi ollut vähintään kohtuullista odottaa Taikelta ja OKM:ltä vastaavaa vastuunkantoa koulutuksen rahoituksessa.

The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today.

In these trumpian times it was a cathartic experience to visit the Angoulême International Comics Festival, and to see so much work that is unhinged in a positive way, full of life and complexity! And so many people! Approx 200 000 comics enthusiasts annually convene in this small picturesque town.

It is Friday afternoon of a wild, wild week. And yet for me a reassuring one. My greatest fear was not of what they would do. It's that we would let them. And I'm seeing a lot of beautiful intransigence. From federal workers. From people all over the country obstructing ICE....

Jos lakiesitys OKM:n virastouudistuksesta menee läpi, tulee meille Taike + Kavi yhteispaketti nimeltään KULTTUURIVIRASTO. Uudistuksessa ehdotetaan myös muutoksia vertaisarviointiin, mutta huolestuttavalla tavalla ollaan jättämässä yksityiskohdat laissa täysin avoimiksi.

A visit to Seinäjoki Kunsthalle, to see Tove Kjellmark's exhibition. The venue Kalevan Navetta is a great example of a successful public-private partnership: renovated by a private company which now rents it to the City of Seinäjoki & various non-profits and for-profits which actively collaborate.
