Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Minulla on viisi ja saa lainaan, jos auttaa yhtään.

The only other way to play this is to appear and then just read the list of forbidden words.

Closing Central Madrid To Cars Resulted In 9.5% Boost To Retail Spending, Finds Bank Analysis City of Madrid significantly boosted the takings of its shops and restaurants last Christmas by banning cars from the CBD, finds an analysis by Spain's second largest bank.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

Meilläkin @hs.fi yrittää muutaman naistoimittajan kautta ajaa tätä inhottavaa transvastaista agendaa cisnaisten nimissä. Inspiraatio tulee UK:sta. Jos sinuakin inhottaa tämä valheellinen ja naisvastainen ideologia, allekirjoita vetoomus "Women in support of the trans+ community"

Lower Artificial Intelligence Literacy Predicts Greater AI Receptivity - Stephanie M. Tully, Chiara Longoni, Gil Appel, 2025 As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms society, understanding factors that influence AI receptivity is increasingly important. The current research investig...

Relevant paper: the more people understand AI, the less they want to use it.

The authors' conclusion: don't explain your AI tech too much to your customers.

Generally, I'd agree with that – but this one goes under the main railway yard (with 15 or so tracks) which the bicycle & pedestrian traffic has had to circumvent until now. People also have the possibility of taking the underpass to different sides of downtown Helsinki straight off their trains.

Thousands of rare American recordings — some 100 years old — go online for all to enjoy The project, which will include some 50,000 songs from private record collections, is a collaboration between UC Santa Barbara and the Dust-to-Digital Foundation.

The new underpass for pedestrians and cyclists in the photo has made a huge impact as well. I use it on a daily basis and always get my spirits up seeing people commuting much easier than before, parking their bikes in the secure area, etc.

Viimeaikainen demareiden oikeistolaistuminen on ikävää, mutta aika ironista, että Partanen kritisoi siitä “toivotaan” politiikkaa, kun se on juuri sitä, mitä Orpo harrastaa tällä hetkellä.

The black fan – beautifully dramatic!

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

Few insults are as mean as those from 1920s silent movies ;)

Hold up

This was predictable.
In Finland, these types of messages have been viewed as extreme and ridiculous. But they are already there and, I believe, soon to be pushed towards the mainstream by far right influencers.

Ministeriö salaa tietoja hallituksen ilmastotoimista ja valittaa yhä julkisuuspäätöksestä Uutiset nopeasti ja luotettavasti.

Hallitus menee korkeimpaan hallinto-oikeuteen asti estääkseen kansalaisia saamasta tietoja ilmastopolitiikan valmistelusta.

Tämä on kaukana julkisuuslain kirjaimesta - hengestä nyt puhumattakaan.

These testimonies were given almost a decade ago.

Milan prosecutors investigate alleged ‘sniper tourism’ during Bosnian war Groups from Italy and elsewhere alleged to have paid Serb soldiers to shoot Sarajevo residents during siege

Murderers tend to have a motive.
These ’sniper tourists’ did not.
They just had loads of money and this was what they chose to do with it.

Russian teenager who sang anti-Kremlin songs in street gets more jail time Diana Loginova, 18, was arrested in St. Petersburg last month after giving a series of impromptu street concerts where she sang covers of songs penned by Kremlin critics.

A teenage Russian street musician who has spent nearly a month in jail after singing anti-Kremlin songs has been handed more jail time.

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Ja sitten on meitä jääriä, jotka änkeävät kaikkiin ”vaikuttava miespäärooli” -ketjuihin hönkimään ”no katsokaas se Equus ja tulkaa sitten puhumaan” jne jne🙂

Inna is perhaps worried for me since I ended up doing ’Love Is A Many Splendored Thing’.

Mikä tahansa kirja Muskin suosituslistalla päätyisi välittömästi (ja ehkä ilman omaa syytään) omalle ”ei ikinä” -listalleni, joten varmaan parempi olla tsekkaamatta mitä siellä on.

Yle Radio 1 muutokset peruttava Yle Radio 1 on ollut viime aikoina suurten uudistusten kohteena. Radiokuuluttajan tehtävästä luovuttiin kokonaan ja toimitettujen ohjelmien sijaan ensin aamuun ja sitten iltapäiv&a...

Yle Radio 1 on palautettava sivistyksen, kulttuurin, taiteen, tieteen ja politiikan kanavaksi. Tyhjäpäinen hölinä jääköön muille kanaville. Nostalgiapopille on jo omat kanavansa.

Yle Radio 1:n identiteettiä ei saa tuhota.
