Det vildeste her er ikke, at der (surprise, surprise) findes Idioter På Internettet, men at en anmelder på en stor og på papiret sober avis bliver så pikeret over en vegansk kogebog, at han straks begynder at kalde forfatteren nedsættende navne. Så er niveauet fandme lavt.

Moving to Finland and trying to learn Finnish, I really struggled with the fact that the literal translation of the word for colleague is "work-friend".
"But, surely, not all the people I work with are my friends? (and that's fine btw)"
Years later, I'm used to it, but it still annoys me.

Thanks! It was a super-interesting group of experts, discussing a difficult but engaging and highly relevant topic. It even has a touch of resilience in there!
Anyway, all went great (hope the participants also got something out of it, I most certainly did!)

Not 100% related, but I recently read Kimmo Rentola's 'How Finland Survived Stalin' - which covers (also) this time period, and which draws on the author's earlier works (including the one you mention)- that came out in English a year or two ago, and that book is highly recommended too.

He's literally saying that no one cares that the president is arguing about getting a bigger share of the corruption spoils.
Never mind Elon Musk, this also seems absurd, not least from a politician nominally in opposition.

Denzel er virkeligt fremragende i den film. Fortjent Oscar.

I came to say exactly this, but you already made the connection and the point. 'How to hide an empire' was genuinely interesting, so it's indeed very sad to see that it has now come to this.

Her er det jo åbenlyst bare en photo-opp, men det er nu god stil (og ikke så ualmindeligt i Finland) med frisk luft og en gåtur som pauseaktivitet midt i en lang mødedag.
Og på billedet er de sikkert max 100m fra mødebygningen, så mere ude i skoven er de heller ikke.

If the response to someone having cancer is a "complicated mix of sympathy and ... ", you better 1) look long and hard in the mirror, 2) stay far, far away from any possible position of power.

He really, *really* wanted that win. So well-deserved after his spring campaign, chapeau!

Where would be the greatest place in world history to spend my 15th birthday? In the trenches. With mustard gas.

Det mest absurde er, at teksten får ham til at fremstå markant mere sammenhængende - mindre nuts! - end det faktiske klip. Og teksten er ellers vild nok i sig selv.

Finland’s former president Koivisto’s argument for universal conscription was ”you should not give guns to those who want them”

There's no way that's a real quote from a real book. Right?

Hans kritik af influencermarketing starter (i artiklen) også som en kritik af influencere, men ender som en kritik af marketing.
Altså man kan godt mene, at markedsføring helt generelt er af det onde, men det er vel en lidt anden og brdere debat?

More than 15 years after Pulp was formed, sure, but less than 15 years after the debut album was released?

Great piece! And it's absolutely wild - and not 100pct implausible - to imagine that people will one day look back at Trump as the one who was finally honest [about this particular, impossible dilemma].
Although he'll probably shift tone again tomorrow.

It's like the guy in Lethal Weapon who keeps expressing how he's too old for this shit, except here it's as if he was, like, 21.

I've written about this in the context of marine logistics, where the last few years have also seen stakeholder bet big on hydrogen.
Mind you, not monetary bets, but the reverse, namely bets that <because of coming hydrogen technologies> they can forego any immediate action towards decarbonisation
comment in response to
post
My perception is that the great allure of hydrogen is that it allows a lot of major, incumbent players to imagine/proclaim a decarbonized world where *they* function more or less in a completely similar roles as today. That is, because hydrogen is coming, they don't have to act or change much.
comment in response to
post
Wow, that is rather eye-popping! Elsewhere, I've taken note of the fact that to meet the 'hype' of IEAs NZE 2050 scenario, production of low-emission hydrogen would need to grow *100-fold* from 2023 to 2030. That seems... ambitious.
comment in response to
post
Does 'only survive in niche applications' mean that there will be no great growth in hydrogen demand (as many people have otherwise argued for), or does it mean an actual decline in demand compared to today?
