Sukkamestarit make some of the best socks! The Finnish Defence Forces swapped from (utterly hopeless) cotton socks to Sukkamestarit merino wool socks, and results were so good that you now find the same socks on sale in every Finnish supermarket.

There’s a reason why the Danish military ordered 750 000 pairs of woollen socks from Finland a year ago
Tanskan puolustusvoimat tilasi suomalaistehtaalta 750 000 paria villasukkia – niillä marssitaan Grönlannissa saakka
Tanskan puolustusvoimat on tilannut Sukkamestareilta satojatuhansia pareja merinovillaisia sukkia. Suomalaiset voittivat kansainvälisen tarjouskilpailun sukkien laadun perusteella.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

This am, I met with Scott Hamby, the Dem candidate in the Georgia 72 District.
Scott is a combat vet & GA native. He worked food aid in Ukraine, helped evacuate Afghanistan, and served for 20 yrs.
He is out to flip a gerrymandered district that's been in GOP hands for generations.

🚄 Love high speed trains so this is great news (while on the TGV between Paris and La Rochelle at 180 mph). Copenhagen to Berlin in 4 hours would be a total game changer. Sadly, all my intercity trips in the US have been by car or airplane and don’t see that change anytime soon
We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.
It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

Almost 70% of lawmakers in Congress age 75 and older say they're running for reelection next year.

1. congressional offices track calls by topic area and comment
2. tying up staff resources always gets to the Congressperson in charge
3. flooding the lines sends a message that we will not roll over for fascism.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.
Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.
Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.
