"TURN THE VOLUME UP!" Quietly sobbing while taking in this powerful beacon of hope emanating from my very own city. ♥️

His speech is absolutely 🔥! Absolutely the best news coming out the US today, after 10 months of chaos, fear and absurdism.

Er is hoop! Het beste nieuws vandaag uit de VS, na 10 maanden van chaos en ellende.

Het is de almaar toenemende consumptie van steeds onbetrouwbaardere media die onze democratie naar de rand van de afgrond brengt. Zolang de volgevroten meute in haar opwinding blijft hangen – Nederland is kapot! – komen we tot niets meer. www.volkskrant.nl/columns-van-...

Truth sandwich in de journalistiek: Het kiesproces in Nederland is internationaal erkend als zeer robust. Er zijn géén aanwijzingen voor ongeregeldheden bij de TK verkiezingen. Wilders doet ongefundeerde, democratie ondermijnende beweringen. Nogmaals: er zijn geen enkele aanwijzingen.

Questioning electoral integrity without evidence is anti-democratic behavior. Wilders is now sharing unsourced messages suggesting voter fraud. He does so by ‘asking questions’. This comes after him questioning the ANP calling the elections.

Wilders is een X-trol. Hij wil helemaal niet de grootste zijn; hij mist de mensen, de energie en de ambitie. We zien de laatste stuiptrekkingen van een uitgebluste makelaar in haat en chaos. Journalisten zouden er goed aan doen hem te negeren en zijn leugens niet de schijn van legitimiteit te geven.

Lieve media, Wilders kan Playbook Trump alleen uitrollen als jullie, als wij journalisten, verslag doen van giftig nepnieuws als waren het feiten. Als er geen enkel bewijs is voor fraude, zijn dit soort berichten nagels aan de doodskist van de democratie

Geert Wilders hoeft niet te regeren om zijn doel te behalen. Hij heeft het land precies waar hij het hebben wil. Mijn column in @groene.nl als tijdelijke vervanger van @tamardewaal.bsky.social. www.groene.nl/artikel/stra...

Dit. Het is niet te bevatten. Het moreel kompas is bij menig partij al jaren zoek, als het er al ooit was. Maar bij de VVD is dat geen enkel probleem:

Netanyahu heeft Gaza verwoest en is verantwoordelijk voor de dood van 65.000 Palestijnen. En Wilders steunt hem door dik en dun. Wij staan op en spreken ons uit. Wij kiezen voor solidariteit. Daarom staan wij op voor alle slachtoffers en tegen oorlogsmisdadigers. Samen vooruit.

Een wandeling, een gesprek, een hoopvolle blik vooruit. Loop met mij mee. Laten we samen het optimisme weer terugvinden dat ons land altijd zo sterk heeft gemaakt. Stem 29 oktober op GroenLinks-PvdA. Dan gaan we weer samen vooruit.

MetaROR, a platform for reviews of research on research, is a success! We have published 24 sets of reviews and have 16 submissions in process. MetaROR now has 9 partners - these are journals that agree to use our reviews when authors submit to them. metaror.org #metascience #openaccess

Two members of Parliament of Wilders' PVV party created AI generated images of party leader Timmermans and circulated these on social media. Threats, death wishes and intimidation followed. This shows how AI content can amplify existing rhetoric and emotions. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/twe...

Het SBS-debat is het sluitstuk van de emancipatie van de domheid. Asociale en xenofobe burgers verliezen hun laatste restje schaamte omdat ze door domrechtse media worden geknuffeld als ‘bezorgde burger’. Maar fascisten zijn geen Nobele Wilden. www.volkskrant.nl/columns-van-...

Just got home from the Netherlands #OpenScience Festival at the @rug.nl medical center. It was a wonderful edition, with more people attending than ever. So many are working on such great things. It’s really inspiring! #NOSF2025 But hey, who doesn’t want a sign like this in the garden?

FWIW: I made some notes of a few of my observations following my one-day visit of the @oaspa.bsky.social conference this year in Leuven. #OASPA2025 www.linkedin.com/pulse/some-r...

Hearing the @oaspa.bsky.social outlook and forward thinking of what the next step would be for open scholarly publishing and working in participatory openness I suggest a name change: Open Science Scholarly Publishing Association 😉 #OASPA2025

Engaging and inspiring poster pitch by ACM about their upcoming move towards a 100% flip of their entire portfolio (ACM Open). Main take away: give yourself a public deadline. You will make sure you’ll stick to it. #OASPA2025 @oaspa.bsky.social

I like this: “mandates are not just rules, they are opportunities for equity in open access”, in the @oaspa.bsky.social poster presentation of Vrushali Dandawate from @doaj.bsky.social #OASPA2025

An interesting @oaspa.bsky.social ‘can do’ panel (@juancommander.scholcommlab.ca @theblochian.bsky.social Kate McCready and Lauren Kane) discussing great examples of non-profit initiatives that are focused on community-led approaches, innovative models and considering built-in scaling. #OASPA2025

At the @oaspa.bsky.social conference a question was raised to give some clarity on the Secondary Publishing Rights in some EU-member states. Bringing this back to table if it might be of any help: #oaspa2025 zenodo.org/records/3673...

Registration has opened for the @maxplanck.de library #OpenScience Days in November. The theme ‘Open Science in the Light of Geopolitical Polarization’ is very topical. I’ll be speaking a bit about the resilience of OS in these turmoiled time. osip.mpdl.mpg.de/open-science...

On my way to #OASPA2025 for an entire Tuesday of conferencing. Looking forward to meet old and new colleagues and discuss open publishing and all related stuff! #openaccess

Very excited about the partnership between @barcelonadori.bsky.social and @oa2020.org to work together on advancing openness of publication metadata in publisher negotiations! Interested to learn more? Join next Thursday's OA2020 webinar. Registration: eu02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi... @cwts.nl

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

It’s been a long time since I’ve read such a well-argumented article. Quick fixes and continuous patching are no longer a solution (the big enterprises want us to believe that)—when an ecosystem is dying, it might not heal anymore; it may be needed to replace it. 🤗 katinamagazine.org/content/arti...

QSS is now accepting articles that have gone through independent, open peer review via MetaResearch Open Review (MetaROR). The authors of an article on tracking transformative agreements through open metadata shared their experiences using MetaROR's Publish-Review-Curate (PRC) model:

What might seem like a small announcement—it’s just one institution—actually carries substantial weight and has a strong symbolic meaning. @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, has taken another bold step: it won't renew its Web of Science license. www.uu.nl/en/news/acce...
