Matias Turkkila wrote that previously the media admired Prime Minister Sanna Marin, even though she, according to him, spoke nonsense. Now, according to Turkkila, Marin's speeches, while working as a consultant, were treated critically. He said that the change took several years and wondered why critical journalism had not previously extended to the country's highest power holder. Turkkila pondered whether this was due to the favoritism system he described in the media or social pressure from leftist circles. According to him, journalists saw injustices but left them unaddressed because social security took precedence over being right journalistically. #journalismi #kriittinenajattelu #SannaMarin (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the plan in Helsinki to ban advertising of fossil fuels could, according to her, cost the city nearly 100 million euros in advertising revenue. She criticized the proposal as unnecessary and absurd and listed as examples of potentially restricted advertising gasoline and diesel cars, flights, cruises, synthetic clothing, plastic products, and fossil fuels. Aidanjuuri described that the Greens in Vantaa could, in her opinion, follow the same line and that advertising would then practically be limited to, for example, veggie sausages, rainbow flags, and new mosques. She also pointed out that taxpayer money would be used for the handling of the matter. Aidanjuuri cited a proposal stating that the advertising ban would be investigated in the preparation of the next outdoor advertising agreement for Helsinki's public areas and that the advertising agreements of Urban Traffic Ltd would also be taken into account. The assessment would examine, among other things, the legal boundaries of the ban, its climate and environmental impacts, effects on the city's economy, the city's own communication and marketing, as well as the media landscape. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of examining advertising's ethical principles more broadly and limiting outdoor advertising from entities considered to violate human rights and particularly polluting industries. #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #mainonta (translated)

Matias Turkkila said that the trailer for the movie *Me and Riikka Purra* had been released. He mentioned he was excited to see what events related to the True Finns had made it into the actual film. According to Turkkila, director Liisa Akimof had spent six months with Riikka Purra and the True Finns starting in August 2025. He relayed a description of the film, which portrayed it as a fast-paced and at times humorous do-it-yourself documentary. It followed an idealistic green-leftist through the mundane aspects of politics at a shooting range, in parliament, in Brussels, and in town squares. The description noted that the film dealt with crises and featured anti-fascists, leftists, and a lonely cultured bourgeoisie while highlighting the media's tendency to grind down issues. https://t.co/oWtJErH4ze #elokuva #dokumentti #politiikka (translated)

Incredible @helenestafleu. Anyone who has the discipline to save, to deny themselves things, and to postpone purchases, has absolutely no moral obligation to share the reserve they have built up with those who have not shown that discipline. Come on, that's the reverse world! For the saver, this meant less often, or not at all, going on vacation, a cheaper car, not getting a new phone every year, not eating out regularly but just at home at the dining table, living more frugally, making second-hand purchases instead of new, etc. It is a choice with a price: you deny yourself things so that you have a buffer later, for when things go wrong, when unforeseen expenses arise, but also to be able to live more comfortably in old age. Those who are not willing to make that effort and pay that price have no right to someone else's savings. Do you realize that when you label the unwillingness to share built-up savings as 'petty,' you are actually mocking the discipline and self-control that savers have shown? Is this perhaps because you yourself have not been able to muster this discipline, Helene? People who save generally also handle their own setbacks, do not rely on social services when times are tough, and show that they are morally made of the right stuff. What you are doing here, trying to instill a sense of shame in savers, as if the saver is a miser and the non-saver is a victim, is truly dishonorable, petty, and small-minded. Ugh! #sparen #discipline #zelfbeheersing (translated)

Finnish development organizations Fingo ry receive millions in funding. I came across their new Ethical Development Vocabulary guide. It has been made entirely with the help of consultants. I really don't know how our country would manage without this. https://t.co/B4KanjMFPV #kehitys #yhteistyö #kestäväkehitys (translated)
