Zelensky has led the Ukrainian people against Russian aggression for over 3 years. He has aged 30 years in that time. And there he sits in the Oval Office with two mindless gorillas threatening him and shouting utter nonsense at him. Never in my life have I seen anything so undignified.

Toivottavasti julkinen sektori ja yliopistot etsivät aktiivisesti keinoja vähentää riippuvuuttamme amerikkalaisesta datateknologiasta.

Sanna Marin throwing some impressive shade here: ”To start, Europe must rid itself of the dangerous illusion that it is weak—and stop acting like it. There is no trade-off between investing in the defence of Europe as a whole and investing in the defence of Ukraine—they are one and the same.”

It pleases this former president to no end that the Finnish Historical Society has launched a new portal with a fresh visual look (and some English as Swedish content, too). Congratulations to the board, and especially to the secretary general, Sari Aalto. Well done!

Fellow historians (and others). I plan to teach a course on Weimar Rep, with emphasis on science, philosophy and culture (but politics can hardly be ignored). Historiography is an embarressment of riches. I’d love to hear about your favourite Weimar books (in English, German, French or Swedish).

This looks like a very interesting conference:

A few more to go - namely former sanatorium buildings included in our Healing Houses book project. In bleak November light, we visited the former Päivärinne Sanatorium (1932) in Northern Finland. The house has undergone few major renovations but is well maintained, with most original features left.

Tässä lähtee vahva viesti hoitoalan opintoja suunnitteleville nuorille: ei kannata. Huonon palkan lisäksi tarjolla epävarmoja, poliittisille suhdanteille alttiita työsuhteita. Hoitajapula ja vanheneva väestö - siinäpä hieno tulevaisuudennäkymä. yle.fi/a/74-20124957
