Dat de Telegraaf een racistische kutkrant is, is natuurlijk geen nieuws. Wat wél verontrustend is, is hoe extreemrechtse, propagandistische media verweven zijn met de radicale politieke flank, inclusief de VVD. En laten we niet vergeten dat Mona Keijzer de NOS ooit wegzette als een ‘Hamas-kanaal’.

Het Nationaal #Burgerberaad Klimaat was een groot experiment, maar dat experiment is meer dan geslaagd en smaakt naar meer. Dat concluderen onderzoekers van de Radboud Universiteit, De Haagse Hogeschool en Tilburg University in hun evaluatie ervan. www.trouw.nl/duurzaamheid...

This world is broken beyond repair. “‘Donnyland’? Ukraine Proposes Naming Part of the Donbas in Trump’s Honor.”

Nu de rest van de regeerperiode gewoon zwijgen over asiel. Tegen de debatverzoeken stemmen, antwoorden op kamervragen uitstellen, alle fophef negeren. Het COA nu fatsoenlijk financieren en in de luwte de gemeenten en provincies het tekort aan opvang laten oplossen. www.bnr.nl/nieuws/nieuw...

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun. And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene. And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics. And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

Het kan wél, maar dan de real deal.

“Are you armouredelions?” “We’re building a tank.” “Why?” “We want to start a war.” “That’s madness!” “It will bring peace.” “People will get killed!” “New ones will be born.” “There will be sadness and suffering!” “We need to wage war to prevent war.” “What?!” “It’ll be over soon.” “Stop!”

"A single anonymous Polymarket user, under an account named “Magamyman”, made over $553,000 after betting that Khamenei would be “removed” from power just moments before he was killed by an Israeli airstrike" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Mocht ik ooit de politiek in gaan, dan wil ik dat de redactie van de Volkskrant mijn CV schrijft.

This brings to mind my Amsterdam neighbour, who claimed that he didn't make his dog wear clogs and chase seven different tennis balls all day, despite auditory evidence to the contrary.

Sprakeloos. Mijn woorden raken op.

“Will the world recover?” “It always does.” “Why?” “Why wouldn’t it?” “We don’t deserve it?” “That is irrelevant.” #interviewswithplants

⚡️ Asking Ukraine to cede land 'unworthy' of Hungary's 1956 resistance, Magyar says. "If someone says this... you should ask them what would happen if Russia attacked Hungary: which Hungarian county would they give up?" Peter Magyar said in response to a question from a Kyiv Independent reporter.

Poetry is my favourite Palestinian export product.

Two new studies are challenging the “wind turbines kill birds” claim. One AI backed analysis of 2,007 bird flight paths at an offshore wind farm in Aberdeen recorded ZERO COLLISIONS over 19 months, suggesting risks may be far lower than critics claim. www.euronews.com/2026/04/11/t...

Of course, let's celebrate that Orban was soundly thrashed at the polls, but let's not forget that his challenger, Magyar, was "born into a family of prominent conservatives" and was previously an elite member of Orban's Fidesz movement. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

If you give some people enough wood, they'll eventually crucify themselves.

(AP) — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat on Sunday after what he called a ″painful″ election result, ending 16 years in power for a powerful figure in the far-right movement allied with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. apnews.com/article/hung...

Tisza now at 132 seats, one seat away from supermajority.

BREAKING: The head of Iran’s Forensic Medicine Organisation, Abbas Masjedi Arani, says the authorities have identified the bodies of 3,375 people killed during the US-Israel war on Iran. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/x545rk

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

'Axis of Evil' "Rutte stated US to encounter threats from China, Iran & NK. Iran said: 'The new SG weirdly insists on setting the agenda for the upcoming US administration. Mr SG’s prescription is nothing but incitement to further militancy by framing a polarized picture of world politics." (2024)

Van socioloog Robert Merton is het begrip Mattheüseffect naar Mattheüs 13:12 en 25:29: "𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒛𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒈 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒓 𝒌𝒓𝒊𝒋𝒈𝒆𝒏... 𝒎𝒂𝒂𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒆 𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒇𝒕, 𝒛𝒂𝒍 𝒛𝒆𝒍𝒇𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒕 𝒍𝒂𝒂𝒕𝒔𝒕𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏". CDA, VVD en D66 zorgen er voor de rijken rijker worden en de armen armer.

The constant roadworks around airports, claiming to make them more accessible, are actually a trick intended to make air travel seem more magical and unimpeded by contrast.

Goedemorgen!

Few things on this planet can match the simple security of a parachute.

It helps to be writing a book in wartime because wartime because wartime because wartime because wartime wait, it’ll come to me because wartime is the very worst excuse for procrastination.

Ondertussen in New York: een politiek leider die shit fixt voor z’n inwoners. Een die niet meedoet aan de verdeel-en-heers-haat. Een die een glashelder kompas heeft. Geen Wall Street geslijm en douceurtjes voor de rijksten. Tegen de illegale oorlogen in Gaza, Libanon en Iran. Het kan wel.

#Lebanon Ministry of Health: 303 killed and 1,150 injured in yesterday’s attack by Israel. Among them 110 children, women and elderly. There are still people under the rubble.

Nu is mijn Spaans op z'n best matig, maar Sanchez zegt hier helemaal niets over Netanyahu. Hij zegt dat hij alle middelen van de staat zal inzetten om Spanje niet mee te laten sleuren in de oorlog tegen Iran.

Elke nieuwe rechtse partij:

Het is wel zo dat nu de hele wereld Mark Rutte uitkotst, ik me op een bepaalde manier... gezien voel? Hebben jullie dat ook?

Having spent a couple of hours getting into tight corners with my power tool, my knees feel like I’ve crawled up a stone staircase, strewn with Lego, carrying a cross on my shoulder.

The Israelis have chosen the codename "Eternal Darkness" for this wanton slaughter, making no effort to conceal their intentions for this "separate skirmish".
