Als de VVD niet in een kabinet wil met GLPvdA dan hoeft dat ook helemaal niet ; er kan gewoon een breed middenkabinet gevormd worden met GLPvdA, Ja21, en de BBB, met meerderheden in beide kamers. De VVD vergeet dat het niet nodig is om een stabiel middenkabinet te vormen.

Wat een goede en boeiende zomergast. Uğur Ümit Üngör is een heldere verteller, interessante fragmenten. Ken overigens geen andere wetenschapper die in korte broek college geeft. Toch een veelzeggend en sympathiek detail. #zomergasten

Hartverscheurend fragment uit VPRO's Hoofdzaken waarin Annemarie vertelt over haar vader die niet meer kan praten #zomergasten #zg25 www.zapp.nl/programmas/h...

Ouch. ‘Kunnen jullie stoppen met praten?’ Daar gaat het idee van een intiem gesprek. #zomergasten

Ik had gewoon bestwel zoiets van kweenie ofzo weetjewel, zegmaar. Ik geniet. #zomergasten

De Spring Meeting van NGG afgelopen vrijdag was, ondanks de geopolitieke dreiging voor de wetenschap, inspirerend. Zoveel mooie initiatieven die de weerbaarheid van de religiewetenschap laten zien. Ook ben ik trots dat ik verkozen ben tot junior bestuurslid! godsdienstwetenschap.nl/2025/04/17/v...

Also, true story

There are still more wonderful days to come than have passed

We are now in a situation that all formerly colonized countries vote in the UN security council for Peace with all former colonizers abstaining. On me, the irony of this is certainly not lost.

Mia Cara Cosco explores some of the major discussions at the event, including what she perceived to be palpable tensions surrounding the roles of science, spirituality, and commercialisation in the psychedelics field. psychedelicalpha.com/news/a-cruci...

"weekend" comes from an 1860s misspelling of "weakened" as in "i'm weakened and going to take a nap." not many people know this

Humans have been talking to eachother for about a million years. A respectable cultural heritage. But whales have been talking to eachother for tens of millions of years. How much wisdom must be in their words?

Thrilled to announce this event with Prof Iris van der Tuin (Utrecht University) as part of our @uccwomenstudies.bsky.social PG module, supported by @uccphilosophy.bsky.social & ISS21. With responses from Prof Maggie O’Neill & myself and moderated by Prof Nuala Finnegan! @uccresearch.bsky.social

Source in the defense apparatus just texted me. the DOGE people were in their building confiscating maps that said "gulf of mexico".

Online fraud is now a trillion USD industry. Half of Cambodia's GDP comes from scam-cities. The scam industry is highly specialized, industrialized. There is no person "scamming" the victims, it has become an impersonal, highly sophisticated extractive cancer, which claims victims on all sides

It's incredible to what extent the Poetics of Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto" are in line with our current political leadership.

Tarkovsky’s “Nostalghia” .. Beautiful, arresting film.. simply stunning.

Would you sacrifice everything you hold dear, including your house, and your sanity, and your children, if this means the world would be saved from its imminent destruction? #PhilSky

China counters with tariffs on US products. It will also investigate Google. Beijing said it would implement 15% tariff on coal and liquified natural gas products, as well as a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, large-displacement cars. apnews.com/article/chin...

Does anyone know if I'm going to die cold and alone

Did anybody calculate how many Gigaton CO2 will emitted less as a result of the 25% tariffs by the US on Canada? It seems to be one of the most audacious green policies in years!

Happy trade-war day to all who celebrate.

“Dear Dr. McCutcheon, We hope this email finds you well. We contacted you on 9 Jan 2025, regarding a Special Issue entitled ‘Innovations in Manufacturing Processes and Systems for Sustainable Practices’…" Serves me right for putting the word “manufacturing” in a book title.

In terms of environmental impact, the single biggest footprint for LLMs is training cost — by massively improving efficiency there, you massively reduce impact. And it’s likely the non-nvidia chips they’re using are less power-hungry too. In general, many areas of AI are getting more efficient.
