How long will the NHL media continue to blatantly ignore the fact that Ovechkin openly supports Putin’s horrific war in Ukraine? The answer is obvious. Since there’s no journalism left in the NHL, its PR department (formerly known as the media) will keep turning a blind eye. #NHL #Ovechkin #Ukraine #UA #RU

more and more excessive screen time and social media prove to be harmful to children and youth. (translated)

One more time, this is because the world needs aggressive climate journalism. If opposing immigration can be mainstreamed with populism, then surely this genuinely world-threatening crisis can too. There is a proper, thought-provoking approach in this piece. (translated)

Do you remember when corona started killing people? They locked down the whole world in a day. The climate catastrophe is a much more serious killer, and what are we ready to do in the face of this threat? Drill f*ng drill! Stupid greedy world. (translated)

Astonished by an excellent cultural column from Hesari, that the current US administration has censored Handmaid's Tale in some states, which is remarkable because that's exactly the kind of society they want to build. Project2025 is a sequel to the work. (translated)

It is a significant social injustice that the super-rich cannot be taxed and they dare to avoid taxes. Ordinary employees like us, who do not have the possibility of legal tax planning, are deceived and punished, and this group laughs during their pursuits. (translated)

Answer this. An important research project, and very interesting in a country where there are "small circles" and "everyone knows each other". (translated)

The corruption of Trump's administration is unmatched in its ruthlessness. It is absurd that such things – among other things – can happen in a so-called rule of law and democracy, which Trump’s United States is now only nominally. MAGA is the most deceived cult in history. (translated)

My childhood would have been safer, happier, and less traumatic without forced morning prayers and hymns, of which Suvivirsi was particularly unpleasant - except that it meant vacation. The enforced religious instruction in elementary school in the 70s was a crime against humanity. (translated)

This is a long tweet, and yet only a fraction of the corruption of Trump's family fits in it, which makes Putin's oligarchs look like amateurs. (translated)
