Een slechte, onuitvoerbare wet die niet wordt aangenomen... de PVV die zichzelf in de voet schiet... Senatoren die principes hebben... Waarom heeft iedereen het toch over 'drama' en 'fiasco'?

Dutch humour is brutal. Attention-whore Timmy [the humpback whale stuck on a sandbank off the coast of Germany] stranded again. "Well, we didn't see that coming!"

You can take the boy out of Sheffield, but you can't take Sheffield out of the boy. Ask my office-mate...

Klaus McForkface, a lifting robot developed by German manufacturer Linde AG, performed a stunning 1200-kilogram (2646 lb) overhead lift in Hamburg, beating the human world record by more than 300%

No, they can't write books, they can't do code, they can't run half marathons. What you're describing are different activities entirely.

I'm in. How about you?

This, from @marcmorris.bsky.social in The Anglo Saxons, describing the consequences of the British rebellion against Roman rule in 409 CE It is *very* tempting to read this as a metaphor for the referendum in 2016 ...

Lelystad Airport moet in 2027 openen. Want: "Vliegveld ligt er al". Weet je wat er nog eerder lag? De natuur. www.nu.nl/politiek/639... #Oikofobie: rechts NL verkwanselt eigen natuur en vliegt met het verdiende geld naar buitenlandse natuur. Nederland als vuilnisbelt voor broeikasgas en stikstof.

For those keeping track at home. The Iranians have now blockaded the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US blockading it because the Iranians had blockaded it, in response to the US attacking Iran to ensure that the Strait which was fully open at the time wasn't blockaded.

Drivers blame peds. Peds blame drivers. Everyone hates cyclists. In reality, we should all hate politicians for not fixing the infrastructure.

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

"Effective immediately, Fisher-Price will exit the 'child development toy' vertical and re-emerge as Mattel·igence AI Defense Systems, a fully integrated autonomous weapons manufacturer focused on AI-enabled lethality solutions for the modern battlefield. Our stock is up 4000%."

The Lancet: "The politicisation of women's bodies and choices is part of a wider attempt to roll back human rights and freedoms of women and marginalised groups. ...It is a fundamental right of a woman to decide whether and when she has children, and is central to gender justice."

If AI was genuinely useful your employees would choose to use it, you wouldn't have to mandate its use.

World is still in a really bad way. And this morning on my bike ride to work I saw a jay (in the city!) and ducklings ❤️❤️❤️ which put a smile on my face #Groningen

the Swiss Guard has occupied the Capitol Rotunda

BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists

I know I need to stop scrolling and start reading the pile of novels that I’ve built up. But yesterday wasn’t the evening for that and it looks like today isn’t the morning for it either.

We arn't hungary yet.

oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry

And that's nobody's business but the Turks'

People say you shouldn't compare apples and oranges but it seems to work fine for me in Python 3.14, I don't see what the issue is...

'Ah but you're cherry-picking excellent writers. Surely the average person benefits? I myself found it useful this one time' No. None of us benefit from dragging down the level of writing to some lowest common denominator. Have some self-respect. Be ambitious. ideophone.org/find-your-ow...

This is why I've started vaping in the classroom and am making sure all my exams are vapeable.

There is no reason to the virulent transphobia which is being "normalised" in the UK and elsewhere. Hateful, pathetic, individuals who claim their obsessive "gender critical" ideology is "protecting children", by denying children accessibility and causing harm. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I gave a little talk onstage.

At the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. annual Hunky Jesus extravaganza in Dolores Park, the festivities began by canonizing three locals on the stage where the pageants would take place later. I was one of them and my saint name as you can read here, is Esperanzapedia.
