Imagine.

Is Trump toch nog in Margraten geweest…

How war drives the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

How much longer is the @royalsociety.org going to look away from the devastating actions of its honoured fellow, Elon Musk? Such moral cowardice.

Brutal Trumpian slaughter. Horrifying.

Geez. At least you could identify the Gestapo for their sinister leather coats and slouchy hats. These ICE blokes are just dressed like ordinary hillbillies.

I know who is going to win. That great footballer for peace, the omnipotent groveler-supreme, the broker of more than a thousand peaces in important countries like Farawaya, Nooneknowistan & Antarctica! Https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/nov/05/fifa-peace-prize-world-cup-draw-trump

Ik heb hier toch nog wat vragen bij, vrienden: A. Wat doen we preventief om de geestelijke nood van zulke trollen te lenigen? B. Regimes als die van Trump, Orban, (Wilders?) doen dit op industriële schaal en legitimeren zulk wangedrag. Wat doen we dáár aan? www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

It's so important for local cooling & air flow but it's frustrating that there's no will to use native species, which host many times more native insects and form more complex relationships with birds. Especially given the desperately poor state of nature in the city. We can do even better!

CSpoC has issued a TIP for the #UNHA3 RB #reentry of 18:14 +- 1m UTC (5 Nov), half an hour earlier than our forecast (but well within error margin of the latter) over the southern Atlantic. This is presumably based on a space-based observation of the reentry fireball.

The #NIH, #CDC, #USAID and #PEPFAR were about much, much more than clinical invention. If we’re led by medical doctors to improve our health, we’ll only get one thing: more doctors…

I just finished Wilson's Politics of Hate, a stellar multi-method exploration of the politics of the US Christian Right. It's got it all- history, theology, financial flows, strategy, and research from word counts of internal and external comms to ethnography. A must read on the evolving right.

www.onehealth.city for more engaged evidence.

How’s the Golden Temple progressing, folks?

Reminder: The government is shut down because Trump and Republicans don’t want to fund healthcare. They are so against it that they were even willing to let 42 million Americans go hungry — until courts stepped in. www.npr.org/2025/11/03/n...

In 2021, #Google and #Amazon signed a US$1.2 billion contract with the #Israeli Government for advanced cloud computing and AI services – tools used in the onslaught on #Gaza Strip. #auspol

Complexity Science delivers. It shows that health continues to decline, globally. via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... The poly/multicrisis continues.

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

Like the circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout the human body, Amsterdam’s 1,300 km network of bike paths, lanes and streets delivers half a million daily cyclists—the lifeblood of the city—to their work, school and everywhere in between. From the “Amsterdam in Motion” exhibit.

Pet Peeve Studies of only the U.S. should be forced to include “in the United States” in the title. The U.S. is in many ways one of the worst countries to generalize upon and the (often implicit) claim of universalism is based on either chauvinism or ignorance (or both).

Next week, in Lyon (fondation-usdt.org/en/osh-for-a...) and Paris (@apur-urbanisme.bsky.social):

a million years ago I remember trying to explain to undergrads in the first class I ever taught, at Northwestern, how civil service rules and civil society create resilience against authoritarianism. Well, here's a teaching case

I think we underestimate how appreciated the existence of non-car alternatives is for the layperson. The mayor of Deux-Montagnes says that he loves the REM, and recognizes that mobility has changed, that car- & bike-sharing are picking up even in his far-flung suburb. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCxW...

Oh yeah #JDVance keep encouraging the nation and its carers to violate the Hippocratic Oath!! www.instagram.com/reel/DPSekcp...

Jemigdepemig @postnl.bsky.social dit is geen AI maar échte domheid:

Turns out Canadians love Australia and think it should be treated as an ally. The opinion towards the US however shifted and half of the population now sees the US (its neighbour and biggest trading partner as a threat). While Trump had some geopolitical wins, he ruined the relationship with Canada!

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Trump is attacking the U.S.’s closest ally and trade partner, Canada, with illegal tariffs that are badly hurting Canadian businesses & U.S. citizens alike. Canada has been respectful & diplomatic (which Trump doesn’t deserve) but his attacks have only gotten worse. And he’s mad about COMMERCIALS?

Nothing captures the current state of U.S. democracy as accurately as this (real) picture of the White House.

Global militaries are responsible for nearly 5.5% of total global greenhouse gas emissions—a staggering figure that puts military emissions on par with the global cement industry. If it were a country, it would be the fourth biggest emitter in the world. www.forbes.com/sites/nilsro...

Clearly I should get significantly queerer.

Les services de renseignement néerlandais suspendent leurs accords de partage d'informations avec les🇺🇲 après avoir conclu que la Maison Blanche partageait régulièrement des informations hautement confidentielles avec ses amis du Kremlin.

‘Bikelanes’ must be SAFE for AAA: All Ages & Abilities. Cities must ban (and enforce it) vehicles that are too big, too heavy, too fast. Those e-motorcycles endanger people riding bicycles. Many stop riding, others do if necessary & risk lives. Cities: act! SAFE for all riders.

I don’t mind if Trump wants to burn the USA to a crisp. They voted for him. But I DO mind that he bullies others into submission and makes us suffer. www.france24.com/en/live-news...
