We had some executives come into town and tell us that our raises have no relation to performance, lmao. Naturally the next question was, ok, so what determines our raise?

Crickets. (The real answer is they give raises to themselves, followed by people they like)

It's beautiful but it took a couple watch-throughs to wrap my head around it. I think Andrei Rublev is another masterpiece worth watching with somewhat more of a conceivable plot

In another day of having a normal one, the Baltic states decided to ban entry of cars registered with Russian license plates. Finland also has decided to join this ban.

New discovery in sanctions science to add more pressure to Russian citizens living in Kaliningrad.

Finland joins Baltic neighbors in banning Russian-registered cars from entering their territory

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Finland on Friday joined the three Baltic countries in banning vehicles with Russian license plates from entering their territory, a joint move in line with a recent interpretation of the European Union’s sanctions against Moscow over its war on Ukraine.

The Nordic EU member’s Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen said the ban would stop private cars from entering Finland as of Friday midnight, Finnish broadcaster YLE said.

Earlier this week, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania imposed the measure. Estonia said the decision followed “the additional interpretation of the sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation published by the European Commission” on Sept. 8.

As for the exclave of Kaliningrad, which is surrounded by Lithuania, Russian citizens will be able to continue transiting through the southernmost Baltic state by train.

Under the EU’s decision, motor vehicles registered in the Russian Federation are no longer allowed to enter the territory of the 27-member bloc, including Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Baltic states are among the most vocal European critics of Russia and President Vladimir Putin.

YLE said that Russian-registered cars with fewer than 10 passengers will no longer be permitted to enter Finland from Russia, although some exceptions are likely.

In April, Finland joined NATO, doubling Russia’s border with the world’s biggest security alliance. Finland shares a 1,340-kilometer (832-mile) border with its eastern neighbor.

The three Baltic states are also NATO members.

Thunder for Lemmy is my pick right now. It has a pretty clean interface and I haven't noticed major bugs. I only wish the hexbear emojis were smaller and the spoiler text worked.

There was an earthquake in Morocco and flooding in Libya.

Pretty funny article in Finnish news where a guy read a new edition of a high school history book published in Russia, comparing it side by side with a history book given to Finnish students. Hold your Parenti quotes - I've received assurance that Finns are in fact immune to propaganda.

See what kind of propaganda Russia teaches high school students in a history book about NATO-Finland and Ukraine [translated]

wonder-who-thats-for

But anyway it's interesting nonetheless to see two sides of propaganda laid side by side. It's just funny to suggest that only one side engages in it.
