I'm heartened by how much the Internet has been talking about this story. Which is why it's worth noting that despite various requests for comment:
Robert Pera, Ubiquiti, the Memphis Grizzlies, the NBA, and Adam Silver have all said absolutely nothing.

Ah, the old, forbidden part of the Swedish doctrine: landfarts. Hope they’ll reintroduce it in the wake of regular anti-personnel mines.

Russia: we’re going to commit terror against civil airlines on a scale not seen for decades
US NSS: Russia is not really a threat, it’s only depraved European who think so - why can’t they just be friends? 🤦🏼

Founders Over Funders. Inventors Over Investors. - Anil Dash
A blog about making culture. Since 1999.
So much of what's wrong with tech started from one simple phenomenon: focusing on the money-movers instead of people who actually *make* shit. Real technology matters. Inventors over investors, every time. Founders over funders. Writing code > writing checks. www.anildash.com/2025/10/24/f...

On tämä masentavaa aikaa olla tutkija. Sitä nuorena jotenkin ajatteli, että tieto ja tutkimus ovat tulevaisuudessa vain kovemmassa arvostuksessa, parannellaan syöpiä, kloonaillaan dinosauruksia ja liikutaan lentävillä autoilla. Sen sijaan tuli naureskelua, ohjailua, strategiaa ja pöhinä vaatimuksia.

These four types of political violence are all unacceptable.
The right can’t frame this as a left-wing issue.
It’s an American problem—one that affects all sides, but hits harder on the right

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced.
I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.
Some personal news:
I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Fasismia ei nähdä fasimiksi ellei se ole mennyt aivan äärimmäiseen loppupäätökseensä saakka (kaasukammiot), tai rasismia ellei ole ruumiita puunoksilla. Jotenkin sitä ilmiötä ei käsitetä, ja täten kun se itse aate calloutataan ennen niitä äärimmäisiä lopputuloksia, sitä pidetään jonain vihapuheena.

Voisiko tässä vaiheessa jokainen suuri Suomalainen media tehdä ainakin yhden jutun siitä miten Yhdysvalloissa vallan huoneissa olevat ja liikkuvat käyttävät samaa kieltä kuin mitä kuulimme ennen Ruandan kansanmurhaa???
…Ja kysyä ”Huolestuttaako K/E?” TPltä ja Pääministeriltä.
