Tässä hyvässä analyysissa nostetaan sekä esille miten pähkähullua on, että kansainvälisestikin erittäin hyvin toimivat asuntopolitiikan rakenteet ajetaan Suomessa alas, että tarve siirtää valtion takaamat lainat asuntorakentamiseen Suomen julkisen velan laskennan ulkopuolelle kuten Hollannissa on.

Valtion tukemaa asuntotuotantoa ollaan ajamassa alas vajavaisin tiedoin vedoten kustannuksiin, vaikka järjestelmä toimii hyvin.

Siis kuinka surkea on johtaja, joka iloisesti puhuu johtamassaan työyhteisössä häämöttävistä isoista irtisanomisista tilanteessa, jossa työttömyys on muutenkin huippukorkealla?

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

Though Trump’s pardons can’t extend to state crimes, I think it’s worth pointing out the message being conveyed:

Trump’s allies are alleged to have stolen data from state voting systems in an effort to help him overturn an election he lost.

Now he’s pardoning them for it.

News coverage of this has focused on the pardon of those involved in the fake electors plot.

But the pardon also extends to key figures who participated in the unauthorized breach of voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia

A new study has warned that the decline of dozens of European waterbird and seabird species began long before modern monitoring began, meaning current conservation targets are likely set far too low:
Shifting-baseline syndrome clouds European waterbird-recovery goals
A new study on European waterbirds and seabirds shows that the decline of 170 species began well before the 1970s, revealing widespread shifting-baseline syndrome. At least 40% of species were already depleted when modern monitoring began, meaning conservation targets may be far too modest. Researchers warn that without long-term data and deeper baselines, restoration efforts risk failing to reverse century-long losses.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Kirjoitin HS-Vieraskynän Trumpin suunnitelman muodostamasta uhasta palestiinalaisten oikeuksien toteutumiselle.

"Trumpin suunnitelma on laadittu siten, että se sinetöi Israelin aluevaltaukset Länsirannalla ja mahdollistaa uusien alueiden liittämisen Israeliin."

Olen koko ajan ollut lähes varma, että tekoälymallit rikkovat nykyisiä tekijänoikeuslakeja

Mutta ilmeisesti niitä kehittävät yritykset eivät vaivautuneet edes ostamaan opetusmateriaalejaan
