SOON it is once again THAT time of the year!

There in the night stars are now right
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!"🎶

In today’s Vatnik Soup, our first on a non-human vatnik, we’ll talk about… Grok. It’s best known for turning into Mecha-Hitler and Mecha-Putler and for defending its vatnik master, Elon Musk, at all costs, up to being willing to sacrifice the rest of mankind for him.

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Ja toivoisin että eri näkökulmat yleistyisivät. En sano että tää mun katsaus on "totuus" sen enempää kuin nämä tyypilliset julkisuudessa kiertävät tilastot ovat "totuus", mutta ne ovat erilainen näkökulma jotka täydentävät toisiaan. Nyt tuntuu että Suomeen mahtuu vain yksi näkökulma samaan aikaan.
Vähemmän tunnettuja tilastoja Suomesta
Minkälainen maa on Suomi, kun tarkastelemme sitä vähemmän julkisuutta saaneiden tilastojen valossa? Katsotaan, ja verrataan Suomea muihin pohjoismaihin!
