What's that South Park episode where Trump doesn't get a peace prize for ending wars and then start a war

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

How easy it is for a single man to sh*t on the world. Over and over again, through history. And we let them, we let them, we let them. Learning nothing.

So let me get this straight: Lukoil was sanctioned when Russia invaded Ukraine, which is a no-no for Europe. But now Chevron, which is 100% involved in the US invasion of Venezuela, is allowed to operate scot-free??

And of course, these issues are not exclusive to Finland. But for a country that used to be peaceful, equal, safe, and frequently considered the "happiest" country, it's especially bleak to see this quick downfall

This week's column. The details will make you gasp and rage. This massive desecration of nature is almost unbelievable, but it is happening in the UK right now.

Some images from fieldwork in Finnish Lapland (Sápmi) last month. Nice to be back working with land vegetation, especially in a place like Kilpisjärvi ♥️

Two posts in a row. The first quotes JD Vance as saying in the past "we had dumb presidents". The next post quotes Trump who misspelled his own damn name as Donakd J Trump with a k i stead of an l in his first name.

The kind of timeline synchronicity you wait your whole life for.

Hospital tells family brain-dead Georgia woman must carry fetus due to abortion ban Georgia's law that restricts abortion once cardiac activity is detected doesn't allow relatives to have a say in whether a pregnant woman is kept on life support.

I had a great time listening to @vlfuller.bsky.social talk about grant writing yesterday at the @viikki-postdoc.bsky.social workshop. It can be scary to apply for grants, but chatting about it with peers make it easier, or at least more fun. Thanks Vanessa, you’re inspiring!
