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.

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"

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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