My first post in collaboration with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social is out ! I wrote about some concerning new developments that may indicate that Russia is feeling confident enough in Trump’s ability to force a bad deal on Ukraine so that the Kremlin is starting to prepare for more.

Just incredible

EssilorLuxottica ostaa tuon miljardilla tai parilla, ja hautaa tuollaisen uhkaavan teknologian.

Yhdysvalloista todellakin tullut fasistivaltio. Vain sadassa päivässä.

While we are in the minority, it's worth pointing out that we don't operate alone, we are enabled. Trump isn't rendering people to El Salvador personally. Prez isn't personally torturing journalists to death.

They call it the "new model" because their version of the American Dream is just a caste system with zero retirement benefits or upward mobility for you or your children.

Another insane story. The US has confiscated this family’s baby and put her into foster care, basically because the parents have tattoos — and deported the mom to Venezuela and trafficked the dad into prison in El Salvador. They have no known criminal record

Sopivasti vapuksi.

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

Espanjan sähkönkulutus tipahti hieman klo 12:30 paikallista aikaa. Nyt Ranskasta tulee apua 1200 MW verran.

"The simulation results show a higher economic efficiency for all German split configurations, where the split of Germany into five bidding zones performs the highest." #electricitymarket This is so much fun. www.entsoe.eu/news/2025/04...

So Canada, like Germany, is victim to a violent attack in the last stretch of the election campaign. Interestingly, in Germany, after the election the attacks subsided.

UNBELIEVABLE 47.6 IN SAUDI ARABIA Right on the coast at Dammam. Absolute insanity in the most extreme heat wave the world has ever seen with dozens of thousands of records brutalized from Africa to East Asia This will get worse and the 50C might be just around the corner.

I agree with Minna…she’s smart and she’s right. Ukraine should not take a bad deal that doesnt meet their interests. They are actually winning on the battlefield, according to SACEUR Cavoli’s testimony in front of HASC and SASC…and the Russians will never live up to any agreement unless compelled.

Maailman ruokaohjelman kaikki ruokavarastot Gazan kaistalla ovat nyt tyhjentyneet. Ruokaa olisi runsaasti odottamassa pääsyä Gazaan, mutta Israel ei ole 2.3. jälkeen päästänyt mitään sisään. Siviiliväestön näännyttäminen on sotarikos. www.wfp.org/news/wfp-run...

Pidän tämän haastattelun saamista yhtenä isoimmista onnistumisistani. Timothy Snyder on Yhdysvalloissa akateeminen superstara, jota pyydetään mediaan koko ajan. Jutun loppu on todella surullinen, mutta valitettavan väistämätön.

Thinking you'll achieve peace by rewarding invasions is like thinking you'll cure alcoholism with vodka.

Marc Murphy posted to his instagram yesterday with the following headline: "Drawn 6 years ago today. It was rejected and called unfair and alarmist." LOOKS PRETTY ON POINT....

Donald Trump just can't stop praising Vladimir Putin. I really wonder why.. #Trump #Putin

🌡️EXTRAORDINARY EVENT We are witnessing something unbelievable,BY FAR the most extreme event in world climatic history. Several thousands of records are being brutalized from North Africa allover Asia with margins never seen before. Middle East is approaching 50C tbc

"When the dogma becomes legislation that’s when you have the danger. I have this horrible fear that the United States could wind its way toward being a fascist theocracy. The cross converted into a symbol of fascism in the service of politics. This is bad" - Frank Zappa (a genuine genius, btw)
