Though I do like this response on US attacks regarding 'freedom of speech' in Europe.

"Because working people have been shunted into defined contribution, self-funded retirement schemes, their futures are wedded to stock market returns in a way that people in similarly wealthy democracies find unimaginable." Inequality in the US is obscene. My thoughts: buttondown.com/surekhadavie...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Al die keren nul journalisten belaagd, geen politieagent mishandeld, geen auto in de fik gestoken, geen hitlergroeten gebracht, geen fascistische leuzen geuit. Dit is het volk dat niet gehoord wordt. Maar ze laten zich niet muilkorven. Volgende keer een half miljoen!

Et sinon, voici Mélissa Hortman Élue démocrate du Minnesota. Assassinée chez elle avec son mari et son chien le 14 juin 2025 par un militant d’extrême droite Pour elle, aucun drapeau en berne, aucune réaction de pays étranger, aucun éditorial, aucun groupe de musique. Rien.

I'm speaking at FOSS4G 2025 in Auckland. Our GeoCat team hopes to meet you there! @geocat.net @foss4g.org

A group of 13 developers gathered in the former lecture room of the GeoCat's historic office building, where we talked about the upcoming QGIS 4 release, and how that would aff https://dub.sh/07OEbjS

🎉 QGIS Plugin Upgrade Dag afgelopen vrijdag was een succes! Met 16 #QGIS plugin-ontwikkelaars doken we in #Qt6, conversiescripts en upgrade-strategieën. Resultaat: geüpgradede plugins, gedeelde kennis en een topdag in een prachtige locatie. Dank aan @geocat.net voor het hosten! #OpenSource #GIS

U.S. aid to Ukraine almost totally collapsed since Donald Trump became president. This goes for military as well as non-military assistance, the Kiel Institute has found. www.ifw-kiel.de/publications...

Je vóelt dat het eraan komt. Je ziét het gebeuren. Je wéét hoe het zal gaan... Ik kan alleen maar huilen💔

The talk in Europe is “how to get a seat at the table.” Respectfully, that’s the wrong question. The right question is, “how can Europe build a new table.”

Vond net deze cartoons van Dr Seuss uit de jaren 40. Beangstigend hoe toepasselijk ze zijn op onze huidige tijd.

Geweldige speech! Enne, deze vrouw is 87!

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

Was Vance’s speech just now in Munich the ugliest example of gaslighting in recent times?? Not Russia, not extreme right, but European moderators who fight “desinformation” are worst enemies of democracy. We’ve arrived in a nightmare mirror world.

Keine Partei ist präsenter in Social Media Feeds junger Menschen als die AfD. Die Ergebnisse der Jugendwahlstudie zur Europawahl 2024 zeigen: die AfD wurde von Menschen zw. 15-20 Jahren mit deutlichem Abstand als die sichtbarste Partei in Social Media wahrgenommen. @wahlforschung.thorstenfaas.de 📊

Putin's war accellerated Green Energy use - 2 Hydrogen Production of steel requires lots of coal (and CO2), but the Swedes, with a subsidy from the European Council, have been building a steel plant that uses only hydrogen. It doesn't even look like a steel plant. 1/3

Hi Bluesky community! We're excited to be here to share important humanitarian stories. Would you let your network know where to find us? This is just a snapshot of what we stand for as an emergency medical organization:

We spraken oa @marleenstikker.bsky.social over de wil van velen om nu eindelijk écht afscheid te nemen van WhatsApp, Insta of X. Stikker is positief: over 5 jaar is big Tech niet meer dominant. Sorry, paywall. Maar wel hier het kader meer de alternatieven www.volkskrant.nl/tech/is-het-...

Precies dit! Een gezonde democratie besluit dat het genoeg is als je €100, €500 miljoen, of zelfs een miljard € aan vermogen hebt. Een 95% belastingtarief kan dan helpen. Doen we dat niet, dan is het wachten op een revolutie vrees ik. Kunnen we weer van nul opbouwen. Lijkt mij een slecht plan….

Dankzij satellietbeelden zijn in de Sahara duizenden prehistorische grafmonumenten ontdekt. Ze stammen uit dezelfde tijd als de piramides in Egypte. Wie waren de mensen die ze bouwden? https://buff.ly/4gZAjLj

Data from the special Eurobarometer survey on gender stereotypes published last December showed that the majority of men in most EU countries believe that feminism 'has gone too far' #ddj #gender #EU

I just did a round of bsky, mastodon, LinkedIn, FaceBook .. in addition to duplicating work @geoserver.org and osgeo channels do not have a lot of "reach". Even after years of neglect twitter has larger "reach"...

Welcome new geo people! I'm seeing a bunch of notifications that people are joining with my starter pack (probably because I shard it on LinkedIn) and I'm so glad it's making it easier for you to start connecting. Join us for #gischat tomorrow. Post goes live 10am pacific but join in when you want.

#gischat GDAL is the the thing that makes pretty much all of geospatial data work. It's kind of important.

Welcome people coming over from The Bad Place! Here's a starter pack to get you started following open source geospatial folks. Also, remember how cool #gischat was over there? We do it here now on Wednesday. go.bsky.app/PGYLmPG
