This has been a sad day for the US, Ukraine and Europe. In Trump we have seen a rebirth of Macbeth. The only consolation then is that given to Macduff by Malcolm: ”The night is long that never finds the day.” There will be a time after Putin and Trump.

I still keep wondering: is Trump a lier (saying in public that Europe has payed less than US and that it is a loan) or living in another planet? #trump

www.hs.fi/visio/art-20... Petri Suomalan kommentti herättää kysymyksiä. Aiemmin lukemista ei ole pidetty passiivisena vaan jatkumona, jossa kehitytään pinnallisesta ulkoa oppimisesta kriittiseen ja luovaan lukemiseen. Vain niiden pohjalta voi mielekkäästi keskustella ja väitellä, #yliopisto

www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/ko... Tämä analyysi menee nyt kyllä ohi. Nykytilanteen vertaaminen Vietnamin sotaan ja Afganistaniin on harhaanjohtavaa, sillä nyt on kyse vähän isommista asioista kuin vain Ukrainasta, kuten Naton uskottavuudesta ja transatlanttisesta liittoumasta.

We used to say that mentioning Hitler or fascism was a slippery slope, but slopes are sometimes slippery. Transition from democracy to dictatorship and totalitarianism does not necessarily happen in one fell swoop but step by step.

Pitihän se arvata, missä Jorma Ollilan mielestä ovat kasvun eväät: kaavoituksen nopeuttamisessa niin että aidatkin ryskyvät: ”Pääseekö meillä eteenpäin vauhdilla, jossa aidatkin voivat ryskyä? Kauanko Suomessa kestää, että kaava saadaan hyväksyttyä ja luvat lainvoiman?” #talouskasvu #ollila

I am reading again a paper on the 15-minutes city, and I still cannot figure out how it would be relevant as a ”new paradigm in planning”. Modern society is not based on proximity.

I wonder what the US political future will be. Will Trump be able to weaponize the justice system (”lock her up”) towards totalitarisnism, or are we going to see anarchistic development, such as pardoning the mob of 6.1. under the leadership of a war lord?

It is time to leave Musk’s toxic X and move to Bluesky. Basically it has what I need: not too short comments, pictures, videos and links. And information of the most recent events, even on the site. Hopefully I will also find discussion on #philosophy and #urban #planning.
