@jojalonen Iso kysymys tietysti on: miksi vain varapuheenjohtajaksi, nössöttääkö?

Full support. Toivon mukaan myös Atte Kaleva ja Martin Paasi lähtevät skabaan ja pääsevät vaikutusvaltaisiin asemiin, niin kykypuolueella on viimeinkin sellainen johto, minkä se ansaitsee.

@Tom_Maguire @DouthatNYT Yes, that would be what I was referring to. That would also indeed resolve to "yes" if, say, NASA confirmed microbes on Mars.

@Stefferi @DouthatNYT Getting to "Yes": "If the President, any member of the Cabinet, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes." kalshi.com/markets/kxalie…

@jojalonen @Uutistoimittaja Spiked ja sen edeltäjä Living Marxism ovat ainakin olleet johdonmukaisia siinä että melko lailla ihan mikä tahansa julkinen keskustelu lapsiin sekaantumisesta koskaan on aina tuomittu näissä lehdissä moraalipaniikiksi.

@Uutistoimittaja Niin, siis kusikahelimpaa julkaisua saa hakea. Brexitin, koronahörhöilyn ja patologisen sukupuolivähemmistöjen pelon ohella Spikedin podcastissa näköjään jutellaan nyt, miten Epsteinin tapaus on moraalipaniikki.

Haluatko ymmärtää, mitä brittipolitiikassa _oikeasti_ tapahtuu? Ota seurantaan Spiked! Se on perinteisiä liberalismin arvoja (ei sitä 2000-luvun valeliberaalia höttöä) puolustava julkaisu, joka yhä selvemmin näkee Britanniassa meneillään olevan disintegraation.

@LtTomPullings @DouthatNYT "If the President, any member of the Cabinet, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes." Nothing secret about that.

@Stefferi @DouthatNYT why would that be secret information? if NASA discovered microbes on Mars that would be announcing it to the world. they did it in the '90s prematurely

@TimoKiviluoma @eetuikola On.

@eetuikola Oliko sopimusta jäljellä Ilvekseen?

🚨 Ilveksen tähtipelaaja Oiva Jukkola (23) on tietojeni mukaan siirtymässä Mestarien liigasta tutun Kairat Almatyn riveihin. 🇫🇮🇰🇿 Siirto on enää tällä viikolla suoritettavaa lääkärintarkastusta vaille valmis. 🔜✍️ — #Huuhkajat #Veikkausliiga #Ilves yle.fi/a/74-20209503

@PaulConRO If "It seems that CEE and Southeastern Europe always think the opposite of Western Europe", shouldn't they be in the green, not in the red?

I've been trying to understand these results. It seems that CEE and Southeastern Europe always think the opposite of Western Europe. My explanation lies in history: these countries fought against the expansionist Ottoman Empire, Russia in its various forms, and Western colonial empires. We have very different histories, religions, backgrounds, and cultures. It will take decades to harmonize our stances, if that ever happens. Living standards have increased significantly since EU accession, but not for everyone. Some people found themselves in a new world, already too old to adapt. Entire industries and ways of life that people grew accustomed to during the commie regime are now gone. Some rural areas have been deserted due to factory closures. Russia hates us, and the West often looks down on us without realizing that it is not our fault to have barbarians at our borders. Some frustrated people would even like Russia to plunder the West, just as it did to us for 50 years. It's complicated. Judging is easy, understanding is not..

@MattBruenig Just give them headsets

NFL really needs to do something to solve the crowd noise problem. Aside from hearing loss issues, nobody wants to watch a game where the players can’t communicate strategy to one another

@mjlith "Lisäksi eivät republikaanit Amerikassa vastusta Eurooppaa itsessään, vaan surkeaa maahanmuuttopolitiikkaa" Niin siis siksi republikaanihallinto päätti erikseen lähteä koulukiusaamaan Tanskaa, jossa on ollut tiukka maahanmuuttopolitiikka?

HS on täysin väärässä. On erittäin perusteltua kyseenalaistaa se, että Räsänen vietiin oikeuteen perinteisen kristinuskon tulkinnan puolustamisesta. Lisäksi eivät republikaanit Amerikassa vastusta Eurooppaa itsessään, vaan surkeaa maahanmuuttopolitiikkaa ja Euroopan kulttuurin alasajoa, jota valtapuolueet ovat maanosassa harjoittaneet vuosikymmenet. Toisin kuin HS näkee, niin Euroopan kehitysmaalaistamisen ja islamisaation edistäminen eivät ole eurooppalaisia arvoja. hs.fi/paakirjoitukse…

@jojalonen Säilytysmenetelmään liittyy riskejä. theguardian.com/world/2023/aug…

Donald Trump söi juuri perussuomalaisten sijoituksista 360 000 euroa, elleivät he sitten ehtineet vielä myydä.

@MattBruenig I remember a lot of talk about how the introduction of euro would allow stores to bake in price inflation in Finland in 2002 but am not sure if it actually happened or was just vibes. A lot of people continued to "multiply by six to get the real price in markkas" for years after.

@MattBruenig OTOH did (say) the introduction of euro, changing the price sums in various euro countries without ordinary deflation, change business habits in any way? Maybe?

Soon people will come around to the thing I have already come around on: simply lop a zero off the currency. Price level comes down without "deflation" in the ordinary sense. Psychological reset.

Käytin eilen tunteja säätääkseni tätä Uuno Turhapuro x Disco Elysium -videota, joten laitan sen nyt tänne.

@CEOofTricell @toffee_32 Real oldheads remember that the truest old-school NMA position was that Fallout 1 was the only true-to-the-spirit Fallout game and Fallout 2 was already too silly and too much of a departure.

@toffee_32 Honestly, the No Mutants Allowed-tier fans who rabidly documented and consumed every bit of Fallout 1 and 2 and were mad at Fallout 3 are VERY different from the 20-something "New Vegas" fan who has a much weaker grasp of the series and learned most from YouTube shorts.

This new thing of using ''New Vegas fan'' as an insult against pretentious fans is so funny because it's as if fallout fans weren't like this in general since the early days of No Mutants Allowed :P The annoying nerds have been here first, since the start, stay in your lane

Vasemmalla Helsingin sanomat. Oikealla Yle.

@MattBruenig @ZeroSuitCamus While I find pesis boring, the one odd thing is that it's specifically the base pattern that breaks American brains. Not remotely the biggest difference to baseball. Also having the pitcher throw the ball straight up is obviously superior to whatever the Americans are doing.

@ZeroSuitCamus massively more exciting, ball in play every batter

You may think Cruelty Squad and Fear & Hunger Termina are outliers, but the truth is Finland has a rich history of inventing games that are Not Normal

@El_BRand @daveweigel Would consider it likely that The Beach Boys would be the canonical boomer band in this situation.

@daveweigel A few years back, you tweeted about the movie ‘Yesterday’ and mentioned that a problem you had was who was now the biggest band in the world without The Beatles? Is it Herman’s Hermits? I think about what you said, especially the Herman’s Hermits part, too much to this day.

One of my boring little hobbies is checking what music gets dropped whenever Rolling Stone updates its greatest albums list. Like Cream declining from a GOAT band with three classic records to not even on there

@FormelEtt @ilvesfootball Siirtokorvaus pelaajasta joka ei viime kaudella näyttänyt Ilveksen riveissä juuri miltään, en näe valittamisen aihetta.

@ilvesfootball Siis mitä?? Takkula lähti ja nyt annetaan Vinskin kävellä ulos? Mihin menet Tampereen #Ilves? #veikkausliiga

Tampereen Ilves ja FC Inter ovat päässeet yhteisymmärrykseen Vincent Ulundun siirrosta turkulaisseuraan, joka maksaa Ilvekselle siirtokorvaukseen. 🤝⚽️ 📝 Lue tiedote: ilvesfootball.com/vincent-ulundu… #Ilves #Veikkausliiga

@MrBrum43 No, can't agree on this one. It's Chumbawamba and has always been Chumbawamba. This is the first time I've even seen people call it Chumbawumba.

I always found the Mandela effect fascinating but could never 100% buy into any of the theory’s. Until today. The band that sang “I get knocked down, but I get up again’ Spell the name for me?

@Balibz It wouldn't be remembered if it didn't have the "Beck and Hanson, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson" line

I hate how twitter acts like all the annoying songs from 20-25 years ago were universally beloved classics
