One of Britain's forgotten issues is that the government does not know who is currently in the United Kingdom, in any sense. Allow me to explain:

Just wondering @vdupouey, as your mapping is circulating the Brussels bubble and clearly responding to a high demand for it - Have you considered circulating the other super secret project you are working on, the one with honest, 'real' vision statements of NGOs? 😁
Massive sigh of relief as I finally decided to make public a little personal project on which I've been sporadically working for more than a year: 💫A massive mapping of EU-wide European NGOs💫 Feel free to use in any shape or form. https://t.co/86exUbeyTv

Tsemppiä vaalityön loppusuoralle kaikille demokratian sankareille! Epätsempit demokratian vastaisille liikkeille, te saatte mennä kotiin jo.

Näin taas jonkun myyvän FB-ryhmässä lyhytterapiaa ilman pätevää koulutusta. Se on täysin laillista. Suomessa kuka tahansa saa väittää olevansa lyhytterapeutti, koska lyhytterapeutin pätevyyksiä ei myönnetä, eikä Valvira valvo sitä. Seuraavan eduskunnan on korjattava se. 1/8

Mittarin lanseerauksen yhteydessä HS perusteli naisten alhaista osuutta yhteiskunnan rakenteilla. Esim. sillä, että “nykyisen hallituksen keskeiset ministerit ovat miehiä”. Tilanne ei ole kuitenkaan korjaantunut, vaikka hallituksen keskeiset ministerit ovat nyt naisia. (4/7)

Does it count if I just retweet this?
You’re not a true European Bruxellois if you don’t tweet and rejoice at every drop of snow you see. So, there!

Have you ever noticed that the save icon is a floppy disk, even though they became obsolete twenty years ago? That's called a "skeuomorph" - when something new takes on the appearance of what it replaced. And once you start to look, they're everywhere...

Wikipedia editors CANNOT DECIDE WHAT TO CALL THIS THING. By my unofficial count, the 15-year-long debate is ~65k words — as long as a novel (thread)

What cruel logic is this!
Breaking News: Taliban issued a new ruling in Balkh province, Afghanistan, stating that women are not allowed to visit male doctors !! And, no education to women as well, so no female doctors either !! #Afghanistan #Taliban

1/6 Move! -mittaus järjestetään vuosittain peruskoulun 5. ja 8. -luokkalaisille. Tarkoituksena on mitata kyseisten vuosiluokkien koululaisten fyysistä kuntoa yksinkertaisilla liikuntatesteillä. Mittauksen tulokset julkistetaan vuosittain. #liikunta #movetesti #liikkumattomuus

What a year it has been! That's all I can say. Now time to enjoy some well deserved peace and quiet. I hope you all get to do that too wherever you are in this crazy world!
