"We should remind the public, and ourselves, that liberalism offers tangible material, social, and moral progress—whereas the other guys offer nothing but snake oil." — @jonrauch.bsky.social
Muistutamne vielä, että Liberalia-juhlamme vietetään Helsingissä lauantaina 21.3.2026 alkaen klo 18:00.

This is a thing in SO MANY fields. Simple things can also be deceptively hard to put into words. I've taught people to troubleshoot complex linux issues for decades and I still freeze when I need to start with the actual basics basics.

Suicide by cop?
It was definitely a disaster for Britain but at this point I'd be squeamish about letting them back in. British politicians who would become MEPs would vote for all kinds of restrictions on individual rights and liberties that rest of Europe might otherwise reject. Dangerous political shift.
Pekka Siitoin (1944-2003), the Reichsführer of Finland (self-employed), a satanist and a "raunchologist" in his latter years. In the photo, an old man dressed in a red cape and shorts, wearing long "horns" on his head and holding a wooden cross upside down, is making a hand gesture. He is sitting on a porch and looks very, very silly. Among other things, he declared he would be the first Finn to have sex with an "ufo woman," and also knew nifty spells like how to drink a lot of booze but stay sober ("drink two glasses of milk and eat 200 g of cheese. Then say: 'Oh cow, in You I trust.'") But he also was convicted of a bombing and arson of a printer of the newspaper of the Finnish Communist Party. Fuck Nazis.

So I just learned about the 1986 airplane hijacking attempt in #Oulu, #Finland, and now you too are going to. Because I burst out laughing in a train reading about it.
It has:
✔️beer (lots)!
✔️hijinks!
✔️weird occult Nazis!
✔️✔️✔️"HYPNOTIC-MAGNETIC GAZE!"
Why oh why this isn't a movie yet! (a THREAD.)
This is very relatable.

Mitäs vittua nyt taas. Siellä on joku lobbari keksinyt todella ovelan tavan suojella bisneksiään kilpailua vastaan.
Shit’s so bad in Minnesota that he’s gonna have to release the Epstein files to distract from it
Minneapolis is going to win. Can’t you feel it?
They have no support, even the most timid equivocators are quietly shuffling out the back door. All they have is guns. They can hurt us and they can threaten us but there is no road to victory for them.
It’s a quagmire and they’re suffocating in it
But Karl, your surprised face does not look surprised at all. This is highly misleading!
Aikoina jolloin autoritäärit oikealla ja vasemmalla polkevat pienempien oikeuksia, on hyvä tutustua liberalismiin. Puolustetaan yksilönvapauksia ja oikeuspohjaista maailmanjärjestystä. Vähennetään kaupan, yrittämisen ja työnteon esteitä.
Onko Liberaalipuolue tuttu?

At this point, supporting Trump is an IQ test.
Wassup Bluesky?!? What happened that you DEPLATFORMED U24?!? You know, Ukraine’s main fundraiser? Used to be @u24.gov.ua?
On the other hand... a home defense gun might be a good idea for someone of your notoriety.
Besides, you get to enjoy a fun new hobby while you are at it!
These are the moments where being a reservist brings solace. If the absolute worst kind of crisis happens, I know exactly what (very small) role I will have to play and that I have trained to do it, and this is very comforting.
Juha Kärkkäisen julkaisema ilmaisjakelulehti Magnettimedia oli aika iso osa tätä Pohjanmaan rokottamattomuutta. Siinä oli jatkuvasti rokotevastaisia salaliittoteoriajuttuja yms roskaa.
Olen vihannut ja boikotoinut Kärkkäistä jo ennen kuin siitä tuli mainstreamia Kärkkäisen natsiintumisen myötä.
A logistics convoy is a military operation too! Grub and ammo haulers are real soldiers too!
Wine moms are the heart and soul of america. All respect to wine moms.
Komeita, ja melko maltillinen hinta. Onneksi ei ole ylimääräistä rahaa heräteostosbudjetissa.
Venezuela’s government is arresting journalists and sending paramilitary forces to suppress anyone who is too happy about Maduro's removal

2025 was the year I stood my ground with a huge international publishing company, took them to court, and succeeded by using their own tactics against them. If you've ever published a book, or signed a contract with a publisher, read on... a looong thread but I hope a helpful one!
Someone please make me a Clinton hat. Would be a perfect accessory to wear on the range.
It would not even be entirely ironic, I actually think Bill Clinton is the best president 'murica has had in my lifetime.
Rauha ukrainassa on sitä suurempi uhka Suomelle, mitä enemmän venäjä saavuttaa valloitussodalla, koska se on palkinto ja kannustin aloittaa aina uusia valloitussotia. Suomen etu on, että Venäjän kyky valloittaa alueita naapurvaltioiltaan on mahdollisimman pieni ja pysyy mahdollisimman pienenä.

What do you make of this, where does Kirill fit in this chart
The new US #NationalSecurityStrategy is so alarming that I spent hours today on this piece, rather than my real work.
We the Europeans, and especially the #NB8 countries in #NATO 's Eastern Flank, MUST prepare to defend our #democracy and deter #Russia by ourselves.

Finland used to have a strong president and weak parliament. We chose to make the president weak and parliament strong instead and have been very happy with the consequences.
Doesn't protect us against a parliament of idiots, but parliamentary systems are much more robust than presidential systems.
