The HIFK ice hockey team has undergone a significant change following Tommi Miettinen's appointment as head coach, which has resulted in three consecutive victories and greatly improved the team's performance, as expert Karri Kivi commented, one of the best ever. #HIFK #SMliiga #urheilu (translated)

The Finns Party announced that it had made cuts of 1.34 billion euros to development aid, which it described as historic. According to the party, it had also stopped or suspended several development aid projects and made aid conditional on the recipient country taking back its repatriable citizens and not supporting Russia's aggressive war. The Finns Party stated that development aid had undergone a complete overhaul and considered it necessary to continue this work in the next electoral term. #siksiPS #perussuomalaiset #kotimaakutsuu #kehitysapu #kehitysapu #perussuomalaiset #siksiPS (translated)

I asked why we did not receive answers, and we were asked to submit certain questions in writing. I believe he must respond to them. If he does not respond, he is not suitable to be the president of FIFA. This was the viewpoint that was also expressed to him in the meeting. According to FIFA vice president Debbie Hewitt, several issues still remained unanswered, even though the meeting was the "strongest, most open and honest" she has experienced in FIFA. #Fifa #GianniInfantino #jalkapallo (translated)

Petteri Tarkkonen wrote that the National Coalition Party had practically functioned as a right-wing party for decades while the Finns Party focused on immigration. According to him, under Riikka Purra's leadership, the Finns Party had become the leading economic party, making it a more acceptable alternative for traditional National Coalition voters. Tarkkonen assessed that the Finns Party also did not have the traditional burdens like political appointments or Yle that the National Coalition Party faced. Tarkkonen claimed that the media had sought to present the Finns Party as merely a racist party and create the impression that voting for the party would make the voter a racist. He believed that the media also aimed to wedge between the National Coalition Party and the Finns Party but assessed that social media, especially X, was rejecting this narrative. He predicted that the 2027 elections would be a turning point in Finnish history. According to Tarkkonen, the National Coalition Party ending up in a left-wing government would lead to a development similar to that of the Centre Party, and cooperation between the National Coalition Party and the left would remain a matter of distributive politics. He also estimated that the legacy of a red-green government would be similar to that of Sanna Marin's government. Tarkkonen appealed to the National Coalition Party and Petteri Orpo to abandon the best-hope politics he described and not to turn the party into an economic-democratic entity. According to him, the traditional National Coalition voter would not vote for the Social Democrats. #Politiikka #Kokoomus #Persut (translated)

Petra Nyqvist wrote to Otto Meri, estimating that the students had likely experienced a security threat since the name lists began circulating online with a negative tone. She reminded that the vocational school students were minors, meaning children. #turvallisuus #alaikäiset #opiskelijat (translated)

Pekka wrote that the playful competition between two experienced stock pickers was nearing its final stretch, and both portfolios would then fall short of the main indices. According to him, a large part of the returns of the indices typically comes from a small group of big winners, who are automatically included. Pekka estimated that both his and Jarmo's portfolios would have been in the red without their top performers: for Jarmo, it was EQR and for him, Intel. He noted that the stock picker's portfolio could easily lack rising stars, as they are rare. Pekka said that he and Jarmo were active traders and did not expect to beat the indices just by keeping their hands in their pockets. He expressed dissatisfaction with his stock selections for the year. Since his previous year's portfolio was full of very successful semiconductor companies, he had chosen fewer of them for this year's portfolio and did not want to enter the competition with the same selections. According to Pekka, the AI theme was also strongly present in this year's portfolio, but it had performed poorly. He observed that all the companies he had chosen had strongly executed their strategies. He added that timing could not be considered in the competition since the positions were held from the beginning to the end of the year. Pekka reported that he had significantly reduced his equity exposure last week and currently owned only Google from the companies he selected for the competition. Pekka estimated that building the super portfolio for next year would be particularly challenging, as most of his favorite stocks seemed expensive, and clearly undervalued stocks were, according to him, increasingly difficult to find. #jarmovastaanpekka2026 #osakkeet #indeksit #sijoittaminen (translated)

Katleena Kortesuo reported that she had purchased an impartial report on her company's productivity from Stadin MacGyver and KiviJaska1. According to her, the consultants interviewed the entire staff of the company, which included one person, and examined his non-fiction books, articles, and podcasts he had appeared on. According to Kortesuo, the report she funded was completed this morning and described the company as efficient, productive, wonderful, and long-legged. She proposed increasing public funding for her company and implementing a national Katleena tax for the next parliament, aimed at raising 600 million euros. #tuottavuus #yritykset #konsultointi (translated)

Marcel Crok wrote that network costs had risen sharply according to him. He claimed that network operators blamed households, stating that they all wanted to cook at the same time. Crok argued that the electricity consumption of households had remained constant for years, while the production of solar and wind energy had increased significantly. He asked whether people still believed the explanation from the network operators. #energie #duurzaamheid #klimaat (translated)

Sander Sassen reflected on the legacy of October 7. He wrote that three years earlier he had watched livestreams filled with rage and disgust in which, according to him, Palestinians were killing Jewish civilians while the Palestinian population celebrated the murders. Sassen stated that he commemorated the victims and argued that Israel was still being attacked from all sides and that Jews worldwide had to fear for their lives. According to him, October 7 had shown that civilization was an illusion for many and that antisemitism had returned in 2026. He said that his support for Israel and the Jewish people remained unwavering and called for speaking out against antisemitism, which, according to him, had also reached institutions, governments, politicians, and policymakers. Sassen referred to antisemitism as a "canary in the coal mine" and a measure of the tolerance and freedom of a society. In the Netherlands, he claimed that things had been declining over the past three years: propaganda was dominant, antisemitism had once again become socially acceptable, dialogue was often made impossible, and ideology drove many Dutch people. He wrote that the Netherlands had completely ignored the warning of the "deceased" canary. #antisemitisme #Israël #solidariteit (translated)

Kun hallituspuolueiden norminpurkulistalla oli kompostitarkastuksista luopuminen, oppositiosta ilkuttiin. Lukuisat ihmiset ovat kokeneet asian kotirauhan ja yksityisyyden suojan kannalta ongelmalliseksi. Nyt apulaisoikeusasiamies kiinnittää huomiota samaan asiaan.

Tämä on se hetki, kun noutaja tulee. Korkojen nousun myötä rahoittajien usko Suomen kykyyn selviytyä velkataakastaan rapistuu ja luottoluokitus lähtee nopeasti laskuun. Sen jälkeen uutta velkaa ei enää saakaan normaalihintaan, vaan jos sitä ylipäätään saa, korko on olennaisesti nykyistä korkeampi. Tämän myötä kierre syvenee nopeasti. Nyt kun korkomenojen kasvun myötä uutta velkaa pitäisi saada joka vuosi jopa n. 50 miljardia euroa (= bruttolainanotto, josta suurimmalla osalla, n. 30 miljardilla maksetaan pois erääntyviä velkoja), seinä on pystyssä alta aikayksikön. Kansa ja poliitikot eivät kuunnelleet varoituksia, vaan kiljuivat vuosikausia jakovaraa ja "rahaa on". Rakensimme näin itsellemme saman tulevaisuuden, jonka Kreikka kävi läpi. Se ei ole enää vältettävissä, vaan nyt tulee kovin taloudellinen isku, mitä kukaan elossa oleva suomalainen on ikinä kokenut. Heikoimmat eivät selviä tästä edes hengissä, sillä yksi romahtavista asioista (kuten Kreikassakin) tulee olemaan terveydenhuolto. Varautukaa jos voitte. Kohta rysähtää. #talous #velka #Suomi

Minä en usko hetkeäkään, että kokeneet korkeat virkamiehet olisivat kohdelleet Sanna Marinia alentuvasti tai väheksyvästi, koska hän oli nuori nainen. Marinin pissiskäytös on varmasti aiheuttanut kiusallisia tilanteita, mutta sellaisiin virkakunta on kyllä poliitikkojen kanssa tottunut. Taas julkisuudessa esitetyt Metoo-tyyppiset väitteet johtuvat vain siitä, että Marinin entinen avustaja yrittää myydä kirjaansa ja päästä julkisuuteen. Tämä taas liittyy siihen, että hänellä meni sukset ristiin Marinin kanssa, helppo rahantulo ja biletys loppui, ja nyt etsitään uutta hillitolppaa Suomesta demareiden gallup-menestyksen rohkaisemana. #SannaMarin #Suomi #politiikka

Goedemorgen. Vandaag herdenken we de aanval van het Spaanse leger tijdens het Beleg van Alkmaar gedurende de Tachtigjarige Oorlog in 1573. De Alkmaarders gooiden kokend teer en brandende takken naar de Spanjaarden, die 5 dagen later definitief afdropen. De Victorie was begonnen. https://t.co/1JlcL1BuUL #geschiedenis #TachtigjarigeOorlog #Alkmaar

@TereSammallahti @SannaAntikainen @PiaKauma Sinun "ajamisesi" ei ole koskaan näkynyt missään kertaakaan. Kun asia on valtuustossa, et tee asialle mitään. Etkä sinä ole mikään "kokenut kuntapoliitikko". Neuvotteluista ei lähdetä "ovet paukkuen", vaan siellä yritetään saada asioita läpi ja Kokoomus - kuten aina - demaroi. #kuntapolitiikka #demokratia #valtuusto

Kuuntelin @Kuuntelija podcastista Elinan jakson ja tarina oli turhankin tuttu. Kokoomus kalastelee listoilleen kuukausia, mutta itsenäinen ajattelu säikäyttää ja sinun viestintätyylistä ei tunnuta olevan perillä ennen rekrytointia. Kun aito moraalinen kompassi ja viestintä törmäävät koneistoon, alkaa selittely: ”painetta on, painetta on”. Minulle sanottiin aikanaan samat sanat – minun olisi pitänyt siivota viestintätyyliä ja osin myös sisältöä. Sekä Elina että podcastin isäntä Roni Arvonen ovat kokeneet saman koneiston raadollisuuden. Kun brändi ja imago menevät periaatteiden edelle, liitosta tulee lyhyt. Pelko äänten valumisesta oikealle tai vasemmalla leimaa koko kokoomuksen touhua. Ja mikä on tämä paine? Tuleeko kokoomuksen kokema ja hokema paine sisältä vai ulkoa? P. S. Todennäköisesti kaikki puolueet tekee samaa, koska jokainen ehdokas on puolueelle hyödyllistä käyttötavaraa #Politiikka #Viestintä #Podcasts
