Da. The western armies carpet bombed then shelled french cities deliberately to kill civilians & then replaced them with Americans as part of 40 yrs of illegal occupation.

But if they did it it was wrong, thus making us doing it right. Finland was enemy cos they defended themselves.

Kokeile Becherovka -’likööriä’ tai konjakkia. Ei välttämättä tauti toki parane, mutta hetken tuntuu olo paremmalta.

EU-Mercosur ITA*: Brazil

Brazil’s 🇧🇷 Congress ratified the ITA btw. Mercosur & the EU, completing the legislative step in the South American bloc’s largest economy. The 🇧🇷 Senate approved the treaty unanimously, after the lower house cleared the text last week.

(ITA* = Interim Trade Agreement)

Great thread.

What astonishes me is that these Buy European clauses are supposedly covered by the EU's legal powers.

Naisista puhutaan samoilla lauseilla kuin tuhansia vuosia sitten – testaa, erotatko antiikin naisvihan nettikirjoittelusta Nykypäivän naisviha kuulostaa yllättävän samalta kuin antiikin kirjoitukset. Testaa, erotatko nettikommentit parin tuhannen vuoden takaisista teksteistä.

Erotatko näistä lauseista mikä on nykyaikaista naisvihaa ja mikä antiikin ajattelijoiden tuotosta?

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Went to the ”21st arrondissement” of Paris for the weekend. Visited also Honfleur, certainly worth a couple of hours. And moules & frites, can’t complain.

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:

Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.

It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵

Decision @ec.europa.eu to go ahead with provisional application #EU #Mercosur is the right one. Many in @europarl.europa.eu agree.

We are in an exceptional situation where EP can only vote after ECJ. At the same time, international trade rules are constantly being violated by others. 1/2

War einmal im Theater fürs Warten auf Godot. Beim Eintritt verkaufte ein Kerl Tickets. Wenn alle Leute drin sassen, ist er auf die Bühne gestiegen u dahinten verschwunden. Nach einer halben Stunde wurde festgestellt, der Kerl hatte die Kasse geklaut. Weder ihn, noch Godot tauchten nachher auf.

Tuore tutkimus kertoo, että X:n algoritmille altistuminen muokkaa käyttäjien mielipiteitä oikestokonservatiivisempaan, Kreml- ja MAGA-myönteisempään linjaan.
