I put "trams" as one of my interests on my name badge at #atmosphereconf as a joke, but this before/after of Utrecht in the Netherlands is why... Urban spaces in North America are mostly awful, and traditional 19th/early 20th century spaces were torn down or filled in for highways

May I introduce you to the likely Republican candidate to be the next president of the United States 👇 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray on the street corners, that they may be seen by others." Matthew 6:5

I mean there it is.

The below quote is from Hegseth's pastor, Brooks Potteiger, speaking at one of Hegseth's prayer gatherings at the Pentagon. This is what they think about Tomahawk missiles that fall:

‘… vanwege klimaatverhalen….’ Moet je je voorstellen dat elke werknemer onder druk op rechtsextremisten zou stemmen… en ‘tegen vluchtelingen’ terwijl je fabriek het zonder ‘arbeidsmigranten’ niet zou redden. Je moet het allemaal maar durven. www.parool.nl/amsterdam/vo...

Years ago, my mother-in-law started reading The Exorcist. She said it was the most evil book she’d ever read, so she threw it into the sea. I bought another copy, soaked it, and left it by her bed.

Ik zou willen dat de interviewer ook had gevraagd naar de namen van deze progressieve Nederlanders en bij hen navraag had gedaan want ik geloof geen ene fluit van dit verhaal.

Als je meent dat d66 een fatsoenlijke, redelijke partij is dan denk je zeker ook dat de rechtsstaat en privacyrechten niet zo enorm belangrijk zijn.

I’m trying to re-home a poodle that barks A LOT. If anyone’s interested I’ll hop over my neighbor’s fence and get it for you.

David Roberts - the U.S. is basically aligning itself as the last big petrostate. And will go down with the fossil fuel ship; and China is aligning itself as the first electrostate. It is rapidly electrifying its economy, dominating the technology, supply chains, world markets, everything

I'm updating the famous Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" to "May you live in incompetent times" to be more relevant to those of us living in the United States right now.

This is how you end up in a quagmire. Constant band aids and “just one more small escalation” that never ends. The fact is that they have never provided a coherent explanation for why we started this war and now they are trapped while the one ally we went to war with…

Trump and Narendra Modi had a phone call Tuesday to discuss the war in Iran. For no apparent reason, they were joined by Elon Musk. There is no rational justification for including the world’s richest man on a call between national leaders during a global crisis. newrepublic.com/post/208316/...

Any school that removes books that promote empathy, cultural understanding, history and critical thought needs to be investigated for neglect. I don't think this is up for debate. If you're not teaching children this, what the fuck are you teaching them??

Walgje met galgje. Israel is moreel failliet.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.

Vreemd toch. De EU onderhandelt beter: doet niet anders, en de Britten moesten het wiel opnieuw uitvinden. De hoogleraren en diplomaten uit 1972 zijn er niet meer. De EU vertegenwoordigt een handelsblok van 450 miljoen koopkrachige burgers, het VK 70?? www.politico.eu/article/ange...

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

Wat nieuwe platforms als Follow the Money en De Correspondent snapten, maar de ‘disruptors’ bij Blendle niet, is dat journalistiek niet alleen een product is waarvoor je betaalt, maar ook een club waar je bij hoort. www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin...

Ook het monster dat zich JA21 noemt is door de Nederlandse kiezer groot geworden. Die Nederlandse kiezer steeds maar 'dom' noemen slaat de plank mis. Hij (m/v) is bekrompen en racistisch maar hij kan heel goed tot tien tellen. Veiligheidsriemen vast maar weer.

"As a woman, to speak first, or even early, in the effort to push against injustice or to expose an ugly truth, is to risk scorn and, almost certainly, to undergo scathing attacks."

Van de 10 migranten die naar Nederland toe komen, is er slechts 1 een asielzoeker. Toch is het de politiek in een paar jaar tijd gelukt om die ene persoon de schuld van werkelijk ál onze problemen te geven. Van het woningtekort tot koopkracht tot de problemen in de zorg. Echt heel erg knap gedaan.

Donald Trump is a bully. All bullies are cowards & crybabies. This is the coward/crybaby lashing out. And to all our European allies, good job standing up to this bully. Keep it up. Don’t help him. Don’t cave to him. Punch him in the nose. He created this mess all by himself.👇

Not a single prominent Republican will respond to the most basic gutter racism coming from the leader of their party.

I saw an ad that said "television for sale, $1, volume stuck on full" and I thought to myself, I can't turn that down.
