"Putin is a dictator. Putin has ruled Russia with an iron KGB fist since coming to power in 1999. He has ruthlessly quashed independent media, ended free and fair elections, crushed civil society and killed his political opponents." nypost.com/2025/02/20/o...

#TaideSuomi2025 Ohjaaja Kari Paukkunen Seela Sellan ja Timo Torikan kanssa toi eteemme sen yhden isoimmista kysymyksistä. Mistä pahuus alkaa. En tiedä. Sen tiedän, että taiteen avulla näitä kysymyksiä voi tarkastella. Kiitos ♥️ @TampereenTyöväenTeatteri

Mielenkiintoinen haastattelu jossa Sebastian Gorka kertoo mitä mm. tarkoittaa Trumpin "Peace through strength" ajatus. Gorka on Trumpin nimitys terrorismin vastaisen toiminnan johtoon. Senior director of counterterrorism. x.com/SebGorka/sta...

"In today's world where election results are contested and disinformation challenges democratic discourse, I think we must be more vigilant upholding free and responsible speech, as well as media freedom." Alexander Stubb

"Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?" Donald Trump, Poland, 2017.

Giorgia Meloni "On the Russian threat. We have to understand that the threat is much wider than we imagine. It's about our democracy, about influencing our public opinions, about what happens in Africa, it is about raw materials, about instrumentalization of migration."

It will be interesting to see if it will be some mainstream outlet or X or @bsky.app with its citizen journalists (as @elonmusk says) that will lift Luigi Mangione into the questionable spotlight as it did with Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Glamorizing horrible acts. Let's hope not.

"Volodymyr Zelensky endorsed Donald Trump’s drive to end the war in Ukraine “as soon as possible” @telegraphnews.bsky.social

Trump's choice of a suit and tie color does send a message when he met Zelenskyi and Macron 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦

Listening to an older Sebastian Gorka interview and the Biden decision came as a shock. In 2021 Biden lifted the sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Weak and as we know now, a dangerously costly move. Maybe Trump is a better, stronger leader in some parts... youtu.be/0KxM2djEpiA?...

"Why should Ukraine be important to America first conservatives? What would have happened in 1776 if Spain, the French and the Dutch hadn't helped the US and send literally galleon of muskets and gunpowder because we are fighting the British." youtu.be/Ez8zfxd7vHA?...

SpaceX secured a Pentagon deal to expand Ukraine’s access to the encrypted Starshield signal on Starlink. A total of 3,000 terminals will now use this secure network, boosting Ukraine’s connectivity through 2025 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"America first means our interest first, but not alone. That is why, for example, on Ukraine, you can't say we don't care about Ukraine; what happens to Ukraine is irrelevant. As a Christian, you can't say that. As a conservative you can't say that."

Edelleen loistava artikkeli. Ehkä muutos tulossa. Bring back the 80's! "Euroopalle olisi parempi, että Yhdysvallat olisi yhä vatsalihaksensa öljynnyt sankari eikä osin vainoharhainen, sisäisiin riitoihinsa keskittyvä maa." @laurasaarikoski.bsky.social www.hs.fi/paakirjoituk...

"This exhausting feeling of division, despair, and doom—which I’ve since dubbed “dramageddon”—would be strongest in the aftermath of lengthy sessions on Twitter, but would fade whenever I went outside and interacted with locals"💡 www.gurwinder.blog/p/dramageddo...

"You got two options. You either constrain speech by rules or by culture. You want a culture in which everyone is allowed to burn the flag and it doesn't even occur to you that's something you want to do. You gotta load the inhibiting factor on culture."💡

Mitä enemmän tiedon muodustumiseen vaikuttaa AI, (algoritmit, deepfaket + muut kaltaisensa), sitä vaikeampi on tietää Kuka minä olen. Koska AI on nykyhetkeä ohjaava ja pahimmillaan historiaa uudelleen kirjoittava voima. Luetaan enemmän kirjoja Vähemmän somea.

"Me & M. Glover ran a weekend course. In the end I sat across from a young man & said You don't have a strong male figure in your life, do you? He started crying I said you need to find it. These men across from you, thats what we're here for"-Jeff Tiegs with Bryan Callen youtu.be/qjZ_KsdLYwk?...

Trendaa nyt: meemit vanhan testamentin kirjoitustavalla. "Niinä päivinä heitti Joosia, joka oli heimonsa miehistä väkevin, päärynäpuun hedelmän vasten muuria. Ja katso, hedelmästä kuului ääni ja sen liha katosi jäljettömiin. Totisesti minä sanon teille, ettei siementäkään jäänyt siitä jäljelle."
