It has been 18 months since I switched from Twitter to Mastodon. I have written 8,800 posts here, and Google still ranks its search results as follows:

1: My old Twitter profile.
…
13: My Mastodon profile.

I am not impressed.

Is he going to criticise the judge and the judge's daughter too? I hear that is very popular among presidential candidates in the US.

Disgraceful.

@randahl Shameful of Biden to push the false narrative that the ICC claim there’s “equivalence” between Israel and Hamas, or that Israel has no right to defend itself. The ICC prosecutor clearly did no such thing, on the contrary. He only claim international law, like the Geneva convention, is being violated.

A Russian oil depot in Vyborg near the Finnish border is questioning, whether the Ukraine invasion was among Putin's best ideas.

Vyborg is 900 kilometers from Ukraine.

Today I learned, when Finland applied for NATO membership, there were actually civilians protesting against the plans.

The beautiful thing about this picture of one such protest is, it is only 8 people including the person photographing the picture.

I suppose when shouting

“What do we want?”
“Russian occupation!”
“When do we want it?”
“NOW!”

you might realize that maybe you are not on the right side of history.

@randahl The beauty in this photo is that in a democracy different opinions are allowed and respected. While the vast majority of people in Finland and Sweden were definitely in favor of joining NATO, a few were against, and many would have liked to see a proper debate on if and how, and an election or a referendum before applying.

The (arguably necessary) rush means that the memberships now stand on a less than ideal democratic foundation, and that could become a problem in the future.
