Ja nu moet je wel aan de slag :) heel erg benieuwd wat er sinds London is veranderd!!!

Wie konnte es soweit kommen, dass die AfD mit ihren rassistischen, autoritären Positionen solchen Zuspruch bekommt? Alle befragen sich, was die eigenen Fehler waren. Nur in den Redaktionen der Medien gibt es anscheinend null Zweifel, null Selbstkritik. Alles weiter so. Das geht nicht.

dat de bovengenoemed Johan Mertin Rigter die middag tusschen een en twee uuren met veel onbescheyt aan hem 1 getuige heeft afgevordert de sleutel van de regenbak waar tegens hij 1 getuige hem zeyde dat hij zijn portie water reeds had geschept en de sleutel daar om weijgerde

Ik vind water een interessant en uitdagend onderwerp, juist ook omdat het alledaags is en er vaak dus pas over geschreven wordt als er iets mis is. Zo heb ik bijvoorbeeld ook weer best wat informatie uit Amsterdamse getuigenverklaringen gehaald, als mensen bijv ruziën over het delen van regenbakken.

A sepia-toned studio portrait from 1892, taken by W. Fairbairn, a photographer based at 10 Crown Street, Leith, Scotland. The image features a Victorian-era woman dressed in a high-necked, long-sleeved black dress, standing beside a Border Collie perched on a wooden bench. Her expression is calm, with a subtle smile, and her right hand rests gently on the dog’s chest. The Border Collie has a characteristic white blaze on its face, a thick coat, and an attentive posture, gazing directly into the camera. The photograph is elegantly framed with a dark maroon border, featuring gold lettering that highlights the photographer’s name and address. The soft-focus background, adorned with plants and decorative studio props, creates an air of sophistication. This image is a perfect snapshot of Victorian-era portraiture, reflecting the 19th-century love for formal photography and pet companionship. The Victorian period saw a rise in pet photography, with dogs often representing loyalty, companionship, and status. This hidden gem is a beautifully preserved glimpse into Scotland’s past, showing both fashion trends and the deep bond between humans and their animals.

A hidden gem from 1892—a stunning studio portrait taken in Leith by W. Fairbairn. The elegance of the Victorian era, is perfectly captured with this woman and her loyal Border Collie. Timeless charm frozen in time! #Edinburgh #History #Photography #Scotland #Vintage

Mooi om deze twee kerken uit Voorburg te zien van dezelfde architect, A. van Essen. Beiden anders maar toch heel herkenbaar. De Vaste Burchtkerk en de Fonteinkerk.

What DeepSeek has just done is approach the performance of a flagship model from OpenAI using modest hardware and a very smart training approach. It screws with the idea that (a) you need a data centre to compete, (b) bigger is always better, and (c) that closed source AI is going to be viable

German Opposition Gambles With Far-Right on Immigration, and Loses Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democrats broke a political taboo by working with the hard-right Alternative for Germany to toughen rules on immigration. It did not pay off.

In an effort to portray himself and his party as tough on immigration, Friedrich Merz, the leader of the poll-leading Christian Democrats, pushed a series of measures tightening borders and accelerating deportations through Parliament this week. He did so with help from the hard-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD — parts of which have been classified as extremist by German intelligence agencies. On Friday, the gambit ended in a crushing legislative defeat for Mr. Merz, dissent in his own party and jubilant claims of new legitimacy from the AfD, a chain reaction that could rattle Mr. Merz’s comfortable seat at the top of the polls. Mr. Merz’s willingness to rely on support from the AfD, broke a taboo in German politics that had endured since the end of World War II.

Lessons to be learned:

1. Centrists align with far-right to look tough on immigration
2. Centrists gain nothing
3. Far-right wins more power

Hubris. Merz, literally invoking poker rhetoric, 'went all in' to get his migration bill through with the AfD. Mind you his party has a solid lead in the polls. Anything but Führungsstärke

20.000+ people present today to protest against budget cuts in higher education #WOinActie

20,000 students, educators and union members marching against budget cuts to higher education in the Netherlands. #WOinACTIE @woinactie.bsky.social @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social

Meer dan 20.000 betogers die de #Eppocalyps willen afwenden op het Malieveld! #WOinActie

Oh this might be of interest for @margoncalves.bsky.social

Wat n "jävla idiot" . Er is helemaal geen noodzaak tot bezuinigingen. Het is een duivelse en politieke keuze. Dat iemand dit doelbewust wil uitvoeren grenst imho aan "Befehl ist Befehl" om de NLse wetenschap te kortwieken en uit te roeien 😤
🟥 Stop de bezuinigingen op hoger onderwijs in 🇳🇱🟥

For reading-out-loud (voorleessoftware) software, capitalizing seems to be important, so here once more the hashtags for today: #StopDeBezuinigingen #WOInActie #EppoCiao #KabinetSlooptHogerOnderwijs

The Dutch government has been in office for only 4 months and a bit and the second NSC junior minister has just resigned over conflict with the other governing parties, and especially Wilders PVV. So far, the cabinet characterized by instability, inaction, and pushing the boundaries of rule of law

This is fantastic

Oh cool. Thanks for sharing!

We kunnen hier best een meme van maken. #waariseppo
