Ministeri Poutala piti pari päivää sitten urheiluseuran yhdenvertaisuustyöhön osallistumista ideologisena ja huonona - ja heti sen jälkeen itse myönsi avustusta naispappeutta ja aborttia vastustaville ja eheytyshoitoja puolustaville fundamentalistijärjestöille

Bottom line: Had mining prices followed fuel prices over 1970–2025, Sub-Saharan Africa would own the world.
Bargaining power and institutions matter.

You see it, most ironically, in the Domesday Book. In 1986, the BBC marked the 900th anniversary by making a modern version. It conducted a new census of the nation, taking down thoughts, feelings and occupations, all recorded using a technology lIth-century scribes would have marvelled at. A technology that was, a few years later, defunct: the LaserDisc. A few years after that, no computer could read it. The original Domesday Book persisted, unchanged, on vellum. The modern one barely lasted a generation.
Books will outlast your puny digital technology

The USA is plagued with pedophiles.
Every month, Americans download explicit videos of children more than 300,000 times.
According to this indicator, the USA ranks first in the world. In no other country are there even 5,000 downloads, according to an FBI report.

Record heat in BRAZIL
39.5C at Porto Murtinho
New record of March hottest day.
Heat has been relentless in the area for several weeks.
Koska se sopii Orpon omaan ideologiaan ja tavoitteisiin.
Global Warming Has Accelerated Significantly
Foster & @rahmstorf.bsky.social
"The resulting adjusted and thus less “noisy” data show that there has been acceleration with over 98% confidence, with faster warming over the last 10+ years than during any previous decade."
17+ active territorial disputes with neighbouring countries, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Taiwan, India, and Japan, backing totalitarian oppression in N Korea & Burma, committing totalitarian oppression in Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, + much more. Hope that helps as a start.

🎭 Vuonna 2026 tiedämme jo: talouskuri ei vakauta taloutta, ei vahvista yhteiskuntaa eikä hillitse populismia. Silti se palaa kriisistä toiseen, aina uusilla perusteluilla.
Miten politiikasta tuli avuton näytelmä? 🧵👇
Luin Lakoffin kirjan konservatiivien vs progressiivisten moraalikäsityksistä ja niiden eroista, ja tein siitä kirjoituksen. Kirjassaan Lakoff esittää oppeja progressivisille saada omaa näkökulmaansa paremmin kuuluviin. Otin näkökulmaksi Suomen, ja höystin kirjan ajatuksia omillani. 1/
First 40C of the year in INDIA today
3 stations with 40C
13 International (and many more States) stations >39C.
The early March harshest heat wave in history will keep intensifying until mind month,than the temperatures will flatten until returning to just slightly above normal
Tämä on erinomaisen tärkeä keskustelu. Olen kirjoittamassa artikkelia ihmisoikeuseroosiosta Suomessa, ja siihen tulee myös pohdiskeleva miksi-jakso. Juridisia selityksiä löytyy, kuten aina, oikeusvaltion heikoista kohdista, ja ne voivat olla historiallisia anakronismeja. Tämä on helppo rasti 1/2
Suomessa olemme tilanteessa, jossa oikeistopuolueet voivat omasta mielestään pelata aivan omilla säännöillään vallassa ollessaan.
Tämä on näkynyt esim. aivan härskinä perustuslain politisoimisena ja ulko- ja turv. politiikan parlamentarismista luopumisena.
Nyt mietin, mikä on tähän oikea reaktio.
Nino3.4 region sea surface temperature forecast.
Wow, that's a monster signal for El Niño in today's new ECMWF seasonal forecast.
EXTRAORDINARY HEAT ALLOVER THE TROPICS
Nearly every single tropical country is smashing record after record in all Continents.
The tiny country of SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE has been with no-stop record heat for years.
On 1 March with 34C had its
MARCH HOTTEST DAY IN HISTORY
TERRIBLE TIMING: When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.
