In all the grandiose discussion about colonising Mars, I don't see much about how the soil is poisonous to us. This was only discovered in 2008. It contains perchlorates, which are environmental toxins here on Earth. Any human contact with Mars dust? Super-bad news in the long run. 1/

Pixeljoint is such a treasure. Only website I don't need a bookmark to be reminded of. I just think, once in a while "I want to go to PJ and look at the beautiful pixel art". Conservation takes effort, effort the Pixelation side of that story couldn't sustain. I'm grateful for PJ

White lines show where car should be : I really hope they get a ticket. What about places which dont' have full box lines? Apparently in Estonia the law mandates a tight 20 cm max distance from the curb : O

210 000 epätoivoista puhelua. Näin moneen ei pystytty vastaamaan @mieli.fi kriisipuhelimessa vuodessa, koska resursseja oli liian vähän. Ja mitä tekee hallitus: LEIKKAA näistä pienistä avustusrahoista. Isoille pörssiyrityksille kyllä riittää tukirahaa. #vahvoistavälittäväSuomi

Oikeistolainen eläin- ja luontopolitiikka kiteytyy mainiosti siihen, että jos oikeistokaisena kansaneduatajana haöuaa eläimiä kidutettavan hiukan vähemmän, saa eduskuntaryhmältään huomautuksen. Samanlaisen, kuin silloin, jos jättää äänestämättä ministerinä olevan uusnatsin luottamuksen puolesta.

Sain Sinimustan Liikkeen aktiivit tänään itse teosta kiinni, kun groomasivat n. 10v lapsia fasistiseen toimintaan. Jos haluat jeesiä, laita kommenttia alle ja jaa video eteenpäin, että ihmiset näkevät mistä tämän liikkeen toiminnassa on kyse.

RIP Bruce Leung Siu-Leung. Man was a legend, part of the Bruceploitation wave and then a star in his own right, before coming back big in Kung Fu Hustle. I had a chance to interview him once and dude was legit terrifying, knuckle callouses the size of quarters. My interview from back in 2010:

You had Alligator Alcatraz. A Mob Boss giving pardons for crypto currency. An endless list of atrocities. But maybe the summary execution of a white woman might finally shift the weight towards understanding the evil that has permeated the Murica project for hundreds of years.

Helsingin Sanomat has discovered a whole literary genre of books on Amazon, written in haste by emotionless robots, with little depth, filled with platitudes and empty catchphrases, designed to cynically cash in on a moment in the global spotlight. www.hs.fi/kulttuuri/ar...

Fascinating thread on the responses to the game Raid Over Moscow in Finland, which were rather more serious than the protests in the UK. (and which led to it being Finland's bestselling computer game of 1985)

Janne M. Korhonen@jmkorhonen.fi

BTW those protests were deliberately stoked by the publisher. BUT the game also caused a very real diplomatic crisis in #Finland. THAT is what #finlandization was in practice. A thread, to help understand why most Finns are critical of oblivious foreigners pushing the same for, say, #Ukraine.

I fucking called it. Tens of thousands of kids. ( And that precise count only includes ones that can be identified. )
