By the way, the sticker is a clear reference to a painting famous in Finland, "The Attack" by Edvard Isto from 1899 when Russia tried to abolish the constitution and autonomy of Finland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Attack_(painting)

The citizens' initiative in Finland for digital independence has so far reached 50% of the signatures required. And look how pretty the trilingual sticker is (by Alpha Design Partners)! https://digitaalinenitsenaisyys.fi/en/

The contemporary use of the term ('suomettuminen' in Finnish) is discussed in a story published by Uusi Juttu today (in Finnish): "Itään tai länteen, aina rähmällään. Mistä oikein puhumme, kun puhumme suomettumisesta?" https://www.uusijuttu.fi/juttu/s4wnjcCs-mgllBLTm-50c6d

Itään tai länteen, aina rähmällään. Mistä oikein puhumme, kun puhumme suomettumisesta?

Mistä oikein puhumme, kun puhumme suomettumisesta? Sana kätkee sisäänsä häpeää, pelkoa ja patoutumia. Siksi se on politiikassa edelleen kätevä lyömäase.

Did you know that while 'finlandization' was coined by Austrians to refer to how they ended up in a better position than Finland after WW2, the term gained wider popularity via 1960s West-Germany where it was used in the criticism of US military presence? 🤯 https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/why-finlandization-terrible-model-ukraine

Anyone know what "climate neutral" Hamburg 2040 will mean regarding CO2 compensations and new carbon sinks?

Interesting: a Danish supermarket chain is setting up "Emergency Stores" that can keep open for up to three days without power or telecom and store an expanded stock of non-perishable food and essentials.
The idea is that no one should be more than 50 km from such a store and it should prevent hoarding/panic buying as people will know basic food will be available in an emergency.
Should be rolled out in 2028 at the latest.
