It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

New ESA gravity mission to detect weakening ocean conveyor At the Living Planet Symposium, attendees have been hearing how ESA’s Next Generation Gravity Mission could provide the first opportunity to directly track a vital ocean circulation system that warms ...

Fascinating and important for our future: the European Space Agency ESA plans to monitor changes in the Atlantic Ocean Circulation #AMOC from satellite with a new gravity mission.
That is important since the AMOC may be approaching a dangerous #tippingpoint. 🌊

Don’t worry, I’ve had some and still been accused of the same thing. And not having enough, or having too many, and the ones I have are wrong gender and not the right colour. Luckily I’m so old now they realise that at this point, it is what it is 🫶🏼

Kuvion otsikko: Perustoimeentulotuen saajakotitalouksien määrä kääntyi kasvuun. Kuvio näyttää perustoimeentulotuen saajakotitalouksien määrän vuoden 2020 alusta huhtikuuhun 2025.

📣 Kela maksoi huhtikuussa perustoimeentulotukea 150 180 kotitaloudelle. Viimeksi 150 000 ylittyi koronakriisin aikana kesällä 2021.

Toimeentulotuen saajamäärät tulevat todennäköisesti vielä kasvamaan kesällä, kun osa opiskelijoista siirtyy toimeentulotuen piiriin. 👇

Kokoomuslaisten työministerien ymmärrys etätöistä (ja työnteosta ylipäätänsä) on tällä tasolla. Vähän sohvalla naputtelee iPadilla menemään, kun muu perhe häärää ympärillä.

Näemmä työministerin hommissa ei tarvitse kummoista välineistöä eikä myöskään keskittymisrauhaa.

Veronalennus heikentää julkista velkasuhdetta - Soste Petteri Orpon hallitus on jo aiemmin päättänyt leikata tällä vaalikaudella sosiaali- ja terveysjärjestöjen valtionavustuksista kolmanneksen. Tänään hallitus kertoi puoliväliriihessä päättäneensä uudes...

Hallitus päätti puoliväliriihessä uudesta 10 miljoonan leikkauksesta sote-järjestöjen avustuksiin, joten niiden valtionavustuksia leikataan vaalikauden aikana peräti 140 miljoonalla eurolla.

Hallitus päätti myös noin kahden miljardin euron veronkevennyksistä, joista hyötyvät etenkin suurituloiset.

Austerity measures drive up homelessness in Finland Amnesty International warns that Finland’s austerity measures are eroding housing rights, increasing homelessness, and worsening poverty, especially for vulnerable groups.

Amnesty report: Budget cuts have caused a surge in evictions, housing insecurity and street homelessness in Finland for the first time in more than a decade. Housing allowances, social security benefits and funding for affordable housing and support services cut. www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finl...

Katy Perry went to space, cried "feminism" while NASA's forced to remove women's achievements from their history, caused an enormous amount of environmental damage, & contributed NOTHING to art or culture while she was up there. She released a set list for a tour that can't even give away tickets.

BTW this is another sad example of how the U.S. discourse infects the nitwits worldwide. In the screenshot, a Finnish far right conspiracy theorist says the election computers were tampered and the vote was stolen.

One problem: Finnish elections are 100% paper ballots.

…to tell him where I live, but that if we are going the same way, I could walk with him, which I did. We had a nice chat, and when I told him I need to part ways, he told me to wait until I see he has kept walking long enough, before I turn to my street and go up to my flat. He was ace!

Back in the day when I was 17, I was walking home late at night, and a middle aged man walked behind me. I slowed down so he would pass me, whilst holding my keys in my fist, just in case (as you do). He stopped, said he is worried for me for walking alone, told me where he lives, told me not (1/2)

For me, I was convinced The Bermudan Triangle would get me. I wasn’t sure exactly how, as I lived on the other side of the world, but NO ONE KNEW what was going on so who’s to say mere geography was going to stop it?!?

seems reasonable

Surely the shower needs to KNOW where it is supposed to hit? Like are we going for cleansing, sore back, headache or insomnia?

I would like to argue that we have not adopted the US system of freedom, but rather created our own, from a very different background. And it serves us. Maybe the US system of freedom is not really serving the US anymore either? I don’t think Americans are stupid, but scared, angry and misinformed.

Now you are just being a tease.

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads: "Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education." Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

Can’t make this up.

I came here to see male stripper parrotfish 🥺 But this is good too!
