500 days of unprovoked aggression, countless war crimes, lost futures - but also of encouraging success. Ukraine fights for its independence, but also for Europe’s. 

Finland stands by you, today and tomorrow.

В пам'ять про тих, хто віддав своє життя за свободу.

Im an academic, yes its unethical to do fieldwork research that knowingly puts your interlocutors in danger. This is a uncomplicated & uncontroversial statement. Nobody’s work is important, brilliant, or entitled enough to risk the safety of the people it depends on. I understand

@MHoussayH All too familiar….this is why they invented those handy junk mail folders!

@TomasSjoblom @jarvla Ylioppilaaksi 1980-luvulla. Luokkani nuorista miehistä ainakin kolme lähti oman käden kautta. Tavallinen koulu, tavalliset perheet. Mukavia poikia.

@MHoussayH Only now? I was wondering already over a decade ago how long you could take it. Very long, it turned out. Rest. Reboot. Light and love.

David Harvey has a point when he says that all the talk about "civil society" - as the embodiment of the resistance to "free market" in the post-89 left discourse - is a net result of neoliberalism demolition and delegitimisation of the state unwittingly internalised by the left.

@MHoussayH Oh no. So sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful human being.

The Socotra Island in Yemen has long been a land of mystery. Described as ‘The Galapagos of the Middle East’ & ‘The Jewel of Arabia,’ the unspoiled alien-like landscape of the island has intrigued travelers & scientists for decades.

A thread on the enchanting Socotra Island…

@bayesianboy "In Germany, what would happen if you lost your license and then drive a car"
"no you cannot do this"
"yeah I know you aren't supposed to, but what if you did"
"no you cannot drive, you have no license"
"yeah I know, but..."
"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT A LICENSE!!"

It’s always worth reminding Musk’s fan boys that these are the brilliant men who founded Tesla. Elon was just a series-A investor who bought in, then sabotaged the company enough until these men were pushed out, then he spent the next ten years telling everyone he founded Tesla.
