On April 21st the 27 EU member country leaders will vote on whether to suspend the EU's Free Trade agreement with Israel. The agreement that sustains Israel’s economy. The agreement that commits both sides to respecting human rights.

Ook in de nieuwsbrief van @erwblo.bsky.social vandaag mooie voorbeelden van hoe AI kankeronderzoek democratiseert fmthandpickedai.substack.com/p/de-bottlen...

Peterol and diesel carmakers today might as well be investing in typewriters and rotary telephones.

You, looking at news: Oh no You, thinking of Taylor Swift: maybe its gonna be okay Just do this all the time

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

Hoi BlueSky!

As Iranian drones target the UAE, Bellingcat reveals a number of instances where authorities downplayed damage and mischaracterised interceptions. Meanwhile the UAE’s attorney general warned that publication of images or videos of strikes is illegal. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/04...

Eerily similar to Gen AI… wait, hang on!

nieuws: Door een hack bij Ajax is het mogelijk om seizoenskaarten te stelen en stadionverboden in te zien en op te heffen. Ik nam de proef om de som en zette de kaart van Ajax-directeur Geelen op mijn account, en kreeg zo toegang tot de VIP-bestuursbox. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/tech/...

Aangenaam kennis te maken 👋 Ik heb vorige week een account op www.eurosky.tech aangevraagd en ga nu hier ook maar eens netwerken. Op dit moment werk ik aan: - een novelle voor tieners - een boek voor kinderen - een campagne (doeidag.nl) om big tech te verruilen voor andere tools.

Crucial for European media to celebrate big wins like this. We excel at self-criticism and this is a good thing. Our continent has the best quality of life by a long stretch in no small part because we criticize what is going wrong. But people like winners and when we win people must know.

Probably also true for (Digital) sovereignty

Mensenvrienden!

PKM Summit 2026 is los! 200 nieuwsgierige mensenvrienden 20 landen die kennis en ervaringen uitwisselen over persoonlijk kennismanagement #pkm #pkmsummit2026

Wow...

Bij de weg, ik dacht lang dat dat een onmogelijkheid zou zijn. Blij dat het toch uitvoerbaar blijkt. Zou fijn zijn wanneer het hier ook meer een fediverse zou worden

Did deed ik vandaag. Hopelijk jij ook?!

Overgestapt van BlueSky naar EuroSky. Lijkt soepel te zijn verlopen

Als iemand die op lokaal niveau werkt, weet ik hoe bepalend de lokale politiek kan zijn voor het dagelijkse leven, vaak nog meer dan de landelijke politiek. Lokale bestuurders zijn degenen die met poten in de klei staan en weten wat er nodig is. Ga stemmen. Stem op een vrouw.

Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight" Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃

Als je dit via een crowdfund kunt socialiseren, waarom zou je het dan niet in hemelsnaam niet institutioneel doen?

Lekker gewerkt, VS

Dit 👇🏻Het gaat dus niet om Amerikaans of niet, het gaat om de architectuur. Lawrence Lessig zei het al in 1998 ‘code is law’. Exit mogelijkheden, sterke encryptie, interoperabiliteit. www.volkskrant.nl/tech/hoopvol...

Wonderful thread about something I happened to be researching only last week...

If you think Substack is a great place, and so you believe our own European online home for thinkers and writers is not necessary, you do want to watch this. Fuckin' hell. share.detail.co/video/4c6293...

“The uncomfortable truth is that while we obsess over the machine’s ability to write, we are ignoring our audience’s fading ability to read. We’ve spent so much time fearing the artificial author that we’ve overlooked the disappearing reader.” @thebookseller.com reporting by Maia Snow

After questions were raised, the newspaper removed the image and acknowledged it likely did not meet its journalistic standards. The case shows how AI-generated personas and claims can enter the news cycle during fast-moving crises. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Ik was de pop-ups, reclames en trackers van Datumprikker helemaal zat, dus bouwde ik zelf een alternatief. Altijd gratis, geen reclame, geen account, geen tracking. En open source, zodat dat ook zo blijft. Plan je volgende etentje, vergadering of borrel eens met Prikkert.nl!

Lekker gewerkt @bitsoffreedom.bsky.social ! 🔥🔥🔥

Groenen winnen verkiezingen in VK en Duitsland. Maar het gaat in het nieuws vooral over de zetels voor ReformUK en AfD i Vroeger ging het nieuws over wat er nieuw is. Dat is toch echt de opkomst van Groen....

To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts. 2/7

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

According to the most recent Global Gender Gap report published by the WEF, the Netherlands has dropped from 28th to 43rd place in the rankings. The low ranking is mostly due to only two of the index’s metrics – economic and political representation.

Deze thread, om je er weer even aan te herinneren dat compassie bestaat

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

The data from your Meta Ray Bans is used to train Meta's AI, which most people don't understand means that humans are looking at the most intimate details of their lives. www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/met...

“War does not create a clean slate where suddenly we have to believe the absurd just because a leader says it. On the contrary, war provides the opportunity to see the core of the absurdity and the destruction that is being offered to us.l

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources. You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy

Kijk, wat goed! @ftm.nl en @decorrespondent.nl gaan de overstap maken van Amerikaanse tech naar Europese alternatieven! via @jorisluyendijk.bsky.social www.ftm.nl/artikelen/fo...

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

Rubio's #Munich speech was met with a 'sigh of relief' in Europe: grateful for reassurance of partnership. THIS IS BAFFLING when you examine the white Christian nationalist undertones of his speech See here for the full speech: www.state.gov/releases/202...
