As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

Have you ever seen a celebrity's Wikipedia photo that looked like it was taken with a potato? It is not laziness, it is licensing. 

Now, through WikiPortraits, a global group of photographers is changing things, one portrait at a time. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

BIG NEWS: I’m very honoured to announce that I’ve been collaborating with the City of Paris under Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership to create a unique exhibition opening this summer at Paris City Hall on BOLD URBAN TRANSFORMATION, profiling cities around the world.

Stay tuned for details!

Vihreä kaupunki - Otso Kivekäs Otso Kivekäs: Kuinka rakennetaan vihreä kaupunki Kaupungin voimakas kasvu voidaan yhdistää kaupunkiluonnon suojeluun. Suurin haaste tässä on autoiluun käytetty tila, jota on pakko vähentää. Kuinka rak...

Perusteltujen näkemysten lomassa tulee paljon mielenkiintoista tietoa. Ei yhtään lukua ettenkö oppinut jotain uutta. Kiva nähdä tällaista osaamista Helsingin Kaupunkiympäristölautakunnassa!

Helsinki reduced Finland's CO₂ emissions by 5% when it closed the last two coal plants in 2023 and today. The cold climate doesn't force the use of fossil fuels when we have wind power, heat storage etc.

Kun eduskunta haluaa kansalaisaloitteen etenevän mutta hallitus ei halua, niin seuraavaksi eduskunta voi esittää välikysymyksen ja äänestää hallitukselle epäluottamusta. Pysyvätkö hallituspuolueiden edustajat Orpon tukena, vai onko kansalaisaloitteilla merkitystä?

My semi-regular reminder of a really important reality about cities, density, services and taxes.

Any questions?

If only we had read Popular Mechanics in March 1912, we would have had 113 years and not mere 112 years and 7 months to avoid the climate crisis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:19...

Surprisingly, KAJ got 74 jury points against Måns's 76 points from the eight international juries tonight (LT|IT|CH|IR|FR|NO|GR|RS), and I think this could repeat against Austria. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodif...

Käärijä's Cha-Cha-Cha på finska kom också nära att vinna, och den var svårare att förstå än Bara bada bastu.

YouTube video by Melodifestivalen FINALEN: KAJ - Bara bada bastu

KAJ - a Finland-Swedish group from Vörå, Finland - just won Sweden's #Melodifestivalen and has an important message for Europe: #BaraBadaBastu ! #SverigesSakÄrVår

youtu.be/QIvtyzCYJDg?...

🎉 We do!!! 🎉

"Bara bada bastu" is also from a Finnish band (KAJ) and technically not 100% in Swedish as it contains a few Finnish words and phrases thrown in for fun ❤️ Sweden sent a Swedish song last in 1998 when the rules still forced them to. 😅

Intuitive Machines Athena Moon Lander Dies After Toppling Over The Athena lander from Intuitive Machines could not charge its batteries after ending up on its side. It largely failed to accomplish science and technology tasks for NASA and other customers.

A day after landing on the moon, the Athena spacecraft is dead. Athena tipped onto its side just as its first lunar lander, Odysseus, did last year. With its solar panels unable to face the sun, its batteries could not recharge. @kchang.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/s...

Sitran sivuilta:

”Suomen talouden alakulo ei johdu julkisesta sektorista, investointipulasta, heikosta kustannuskilpailukyvystä tai vientikysynnästä. Kansantaloutemme suurin ongelma on yrityssektorin heikko tuottavuus”

"Stay cool, calm and collected."

Trump & Vance tried to verbally bludgeon President Zelenskyy into bowing down to their master - Putin

But Zelenskyy wouldn’t go for it

Here’s a breakdown of some the techniques they used on him

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.

It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.

If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

Putin.
