als de overheid geen schade door paalrot zou hoeven te vergoeden waarom dan wel schade door gaswinning?

het is de overheid die de paalrot veroorzaakt heeft door het grondwaterpeil kunstmatig laag te houden voor boeren maar oké www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

“Natuurbranden zullen in de toekomst vaker voorkomen, doordat droogteperiodes langer aanhouden.” @nieuws.nos.nl heeft onderliggende oorzaak gevonden: droogteperiodes die spontaan langer duren. Alles, maar dan ook alles uit de kast om maar niet het woord ‘klimaatcrisis’ te hoeven schrijven. 🤷‍♂️

Terrifying for women everywhere. Romcom my ass

"OpenAI is even backing legislation in Illinois that would shield it from liability in AI-tied mass casualty events in which 100 or more people are killed or injured." Sorry wtf?

I recall when a friend of mine back during the BLM movement told me that if people reject the cause then the logical conclusion is that No Lives Matter & I thought I understood what he meant philosophically but living through the explosion of global suffering since I see now that he meant materially

NEW: OpenAI just got hit by a barrage of lawsuits -- because a future school shooter's conversations with ChatGPT were so disturbing that its leadership debated whether to alert authorities, ultimately didn't, and the result was a horrifying massacre futurism.com/artificial-i...

Very telling from the birdfood industry. Despite new RSPB/BTO advice on birdfeeding based on a solid scientific review, and RSPB taking a ££ hit themselves, EVERY major birdfood company is attacking/rejecting the guidance, claiming to know better, putting their incomes over conservation. Shameful.

Charlottesville used bookstore’s got game

While we encourage writers to leave Substack, we also need to be aware that it’s engaging in yet another form of unethical behavior: punishing those who leave by continuing to charge subscribers, who then make a claim which they don’t realize will incur big fees on the writer who left Substack.

Wat Schoof wél goed ziet trouwens: dat het huidige kabinet grotendeels een continuïteit is.

I think this has been happening for years, with 'content creators' (derogatory) imitating one another with true crime podcast voice, food influencer voice, bloggers misunderstanding SEO advice etc. and AI has made it a bazilion times worse

European bottom trawlers cost up to $18.5 billion annually (vs. $200M in economic value) by disturbing seafloor sediment and releasing CO2, plus killing 75% of bycatch, in 5.5M hours fishing, ~25% of it in Marine Protected Areas, according to a new report . 🧪🌎🌿 insideclimatenews.org/news/2704202...

Something is deeply rotten in the state of the EU Parliament. We urgently need a reform.

I used to be good at Computer. Now Computer thinks it is good at me. But it actually isn’t??????

okay, when you’ve lost the former director of Mossad, maybe it’s well past time to rethink your policy decisions

Everything is so stupid

"Did you get us a quote from an expert on shooting at the Washington Hilton?" "Sure did, Chief, nice and Jodie Foster-obsessed like you asked."

I know people need to eat more beans but can we please stop putting beans in cookies and cakes and what not

Just finished The Outlaw Ocean season 2 and it remains by miles the best podcast I've ever listened to. Pivotal listening in terms of food systems but also covering Frontex and Libya in season 2 theoutlawocean.com/podcast

Het gaat om slechts 110 MENSEN! Dáar rennen alle media nu al een week achteraan ivm met een TIJDELIJKE opvang in Loosdrecht. Mede door die overmatige media-aandacht, staan nu 40 mensen alsnog op straat. Media faciliteren op die manier terreur. Stop ermee!

BP’s profits have more than doubled because of the Iran War. Time for a windfall tax.

Also “once immigration is fixed” when’s that then? When there’s not a single one entering or when you never have to see a brown face on the high street again? Disgusting racist pandering that you can never even satisfy

I love how oversized being the style now has made it even harder to find clothes that fit

Rare verdediging. Ja, Russen zijn óók mensen. Maar wie ontkent dat dan? Wat volgt uit dat verpletterende inzicht?

Listen I read a lot, and a lot of it is dull as hell, and I’ll tell you one thing I’ve learned: tedious writing is almost always a product of the writer conveying, rather than discovering. When a writer is discovering, or sharing discovery, no editor on earth can scrub out the vividity & joy.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

I get this a lot and like… do believe believe that the only thing worth discussing is the one thing they themselves care about? Like what does it even mean to say “it doesn’t matter what he was told by ai”? I’m genuinely curious how it feels to be so incurious about the world 😩

Conspiracy theorist given larger audience than is warranted

Your occasional reminder that the far right is a cult of victimhood. Not metaphorically or whatever, it actually is; the main draw - great replacement theory - is entirely based upon the idea that you, a regular nobody, are suffering because of who you are.

The most compelling part of the festival may have been an 80-piece human orchestra playing Ravel’s Boléro in front of a montage of human dancers at the opening ceremony

There actually was one near my work 10 years ago in Berlin, called “nickerchen” (little nap). I used it a few times in my lunch break. They also had massages. Seems to be permanently closed now though. maps.app.goo.gl/XDeqS67BspAT...

Beste oppositie, dit landverraad zouden jullie moeten aanpakken en dit kabinet met een motie van wantrouwen wegsturen! Hop!
