als je op oudjaarsavond vuurwerk naar agenten gooit dan zit je op nieuwsjaarsdag voor de rechter maar als een racistische knokploeg vreedzame activisten belaagt dan laat de politie hen een uurtje losgaan en volgt de rechtsgang pas 5 jaar later

Important point: the proposed UK law to ban Conversion Practices has a massive, fatal loophole for anyone claiming to be doing it as a "healthcare" practitioner. The existing law in France:

L’une des illustration parfaites du fait que la police n’est pas une force républicaine mais bel & bien une milice se sentant « en guerre » contre une partie de la population, c’est ce fameux coup de couteau.

Illegaal Amazonehout belandde in Nederlandse steigers en bruggen. Toch werd het verkocht als duurzaam product, door een importeur die zich als groene koploper presenteert. Het hout droeg een keurmerk dat verantwoord en legaal bosbeheer moet garanderen. Hoe ging het dan toch mis?

This went a bit wild, can someone explain to me why so many people confuse edamame (small, green) for lima beans (big, white)?

"And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 19:33-34

The United Nations is calling for independent investigations after at least 50 people have died in ICE custody since President Trump began his second term. The death rate is higher than it's been in over a decade, and this year is already on track to be worse than 2025. This is unconscionable.

Het was een bewuste en wrede keus van D66 en CDA om een minderheidskabinet te vormen met de VVD, de Dutch MAGA-beweging die al jaren als beleidsdoel heeft om lasten voor mensen die het al moeilijk hebben te vezwaren en een verzorgingsstaat voor de allerrijksten te maken. nos.nl/artikel/2619...

Look what this heat made me do

It's supposed to be cooler today but the humidity is way higher so we are still in hell

Had a raspberry eclair to celebrate Tofu, very nice

Love becoming a hypochondriac after 2 years of family health crisis after family health crisis, especially with all these ways the body expresses stress 🫠

"The ambulance service in Paris had reported four times more cardiac arrests than normal over a 24-hour period."

the reason every awful person goes full fash is that the fash are the only ones who will not only ignore but celebrate their terrible behavior

Enorme klimaatrechtszaak win in Frankrijk: Total moet verslag doen van de totale uitstoot (inclusief van het benzine verbruik van de consumenten ! ) en binnen een half jaar met een plan te komen om de uitstoot te verminderen. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

TikTok's latest illegal 'life hack' seems to be 'dispute credit card transactions for free stuff' and legality aside I am here to beg you: Do not do this to small businesses. It really fucks them over in ways you may not be aware of beyond stealing from them (which is, to be clear, what this is).🧵

If I were European I would simply solve the heatwave using good old American moxie. But I will not use said moxie to solve the USA's intractable social problems because America is a real country and I am very busy.

Keep noticing shoe sizes go 36, 36 1/2, 37, 37 1/2, 38, 38 1/2, 39 and then suddenly just 40, 41, etc. Not great if your shoe size is 39 1/2 (it's me, my shoe size is 39 1/2)

What's everyone's favorite poke sauce mix? Or even like the proper Hawaiian one? I used to have a really good one but I never saved it anywhere and online search has become a hellhole and now the ones I have found have always been way too salty/ just plain gross/ nowhere near accurate?

Migrant shrimp farm workers in India are confined for 6–8 months, paid only at season’s end & face unpaid wages or arbitrary deductions. They live in temporary sheds under surveillance, with little to no workplace safety protections Hear Anamika Singh & read her report 1/2

The European Commission is in talks with the Taliban, which several countries have designated a terrorist organisation and to which various terrorist groups have pledged their allegiance, to implement a far-right deportation plan.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

I'm not saying I was enjoying this weather but I'm really fed up with it after two nights of 24°C and going into the fourth day of 40-43°C

HITTEGOLF Europa: in rivieren zwemmen, veel water drinken, airco installeren België:

Gewoon een openlijke oproep van de Kamer om het legaliteitsbeginsel (kenmer van een rechtsstaat) en de uitspraak van de hoogste rechter te negeren. En zo glijden we weer verder af. Tweede Kamer wil dat IND weer telefoons van asielzoekers gaat uitlezen - nos.nl/l/2619923

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

30 years for moving a box of zines. Des Sanchez Estrada was not even at the noise demo that led to this. The state is attempting to make an example of these anti-fascist political prisoners. We can expect the crackdowns to continue & escalate. Take this seriously. Don't back down

I know this has been pointed out many times by many people but I just want to reiterate: Anthropic is basically using Kurt Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole as the Claude logo

I don’t want to hear another word from establishment Dems about cooperating with Republicans. Don’t want to see another stupid bipartisan photo about “seersucker suit day” on the Hill. Nine people who protested ICE at a detention camp were just sentenced to 50-100 years in prison. WAKE TF UP.

If other news was reported like climate change:

We're right on the bleach to black bit 👍🏻

We have a new entry in the climate dictionary under “irony”
