Punavihreä hallitus on suomalaisten selvä suosikki. Suomalaisten enemmistö haluaa SDP:n takaisin hallitusvaltaan.
Tavoitteena pitäisikin olla SDP:n johtama hallitus vihreiden ja vasemmistoliiton kanssa.

This is, of course, a fascinating thread from Kate asking why Google is effectively cannibalizing its own market for both digital ads on third party properties and search ads, by effectively taking away the incentive to click through to third party sites. I have a theory as to why they're doing it.
So this ad revenue metric is indicative of such a fascinating and weird set of business decisions by Google to inexplicably kill of SEO-- and I honestly don't get how they think this is going to pay off for them in the long run.

Important to remember on occasions like this that ”AI’s parity with humans” has two variables. Answering document requests with ChatGPT might be evidence of the latter going down rather than the former up.

Reading headlines about the US massing forces to Venezuela and ”what is Trump’s aim with the troops ?” reminds me of a certain other country that massed troops at a neighbour’s border 4 years ago and headlines were wondering what Putin’s aim could possibly be

Here’s the same data, but with trust broken down by political views (circles are trust among people on the left, +s the right).
It’s not just that the BBC is widely consumed — it also has solid trust on both left & right, whereas trust in the biggest US media brands is hugely polarised.
