Een reden om zeer terughoudend te zijn met diepzee mijnbouw. We weten kennen die wereld niet en kunnen hem zomaar ernstig beschadigen of vernietigen. Van de zeebodem oprapen klinkt onschuldig, maar als snel worden grote oppervlaktes veranderd.

Wanneer D66 en CDA voor de zoveelste keer VVD goedpraten

Zo is het. D66 kaapt met progressieve verhaaltjes in campagnetijd kiezers van links weg, en gebruikt ze vervolgens om rechts aan meerderheid te helpen.

Het blijft trouwens ook onuitgesproken dat D66 ideologisch meer overeenkomt met VVD-JA21, dan met GroenLinks-PvdA.

D66, altijd hetzelfde liedje. Tijdens de verkiezingen een mooi links verhaal. Na de verkiezingen regeren met rechts en nooit met GL-PvdA.
Althans, sinds het kabinet-Kok.

Nog voor het weekend voorbij is offerde D66 Rogier van Boxtel in Buitenhof PvdA/GL al op aan de VVD.
Weinig stemmers op Rob Jetten zullen van te voren beseft hebben dat ze de VVD, de voormalige partner van de PVV van Geert Wilders, er gratis bij kregen.
Die zullen zich met Yeşilgöz bedrogen voelen

IDF states that “IDF troops operating in southern Gaza identified a terrorist who crossed the yellow line and approached the troops, posing an immediate threat to them. Following the identification, the troops eliminated the terrorist.” Local media later reported that a 3-year-old child was killed in an Israeli strike in southern Gaza today. It remains unclear whether the Israeli military is referring to this child as the “terrorist threat” in its statement. See new posts Conversation Israel Defense Forces @IDF ❌CEASEFIRE VIOLATION: Earlier today, IDF troops operating in southern Gaza identified a terrorist who crossed the yellow line and approached the troops, posing an immediate threat to them. Following the identification, the troops eliminated the terrorist.

In 1941 Vichy France my great-grandmother Alice Barbier, a teacher, was forced to sign this declaration, swearing she had never belonged to - and never would - any Masonic or other subversive organisation. An example of what happens when right-wing conspiracy theories are enforced by the state.

Artist alleys at comic cons bum me out sometimes because I’ll see artists who’ve inspired me my whole life grinding away hour by hour when they should all be comfortable as hell and doing whatever they want, making whatever they want. I want that for everybody!

Imagine you're overseeing the termination of clinical trials, the destruction of people's livelihoods, the dismantling of scientific research in the US, and you're complaining that Twitter didn't give you a blue check 4 years ago.
Tweet by Jay Bhattacharya: It's the height of irony that the European Commission fined @elonmusk 's @x for not being transparent. The old Twitter handed out blue checks to cronies with no transparency whatsoever. The purpose of the old Twitter blue check system was to suppress dissidents and censor speech. Quote tweets himself saying: Twitter 1.0 placed me on a blacklist & denied me a blue check on the grounds that I am not noteworthy enough. Meanwhile, Twitter 1.0 gave blue checks to every covid alarmist, whatever their credenitals and lack of notoriety. The EU is silencing political opposition.

Cees Veerman die begint over de toch wel ver van zijn CDA afstaande CPN en PPR als hij het heeft over de ideologie van GroenLinks. Decennia geleden. Geen woord over de tegen radicaal rechts aanschurende Yesilgöz, slechts zalvende woorden over een nu fictieve VVD uit een grijs verleden. #buitenhof

Volkskrant legt hier uit waarom Jetten ondanks tegenzin neigt naar coalitie met VVD: hij wil snelle formatie en geen verlies van positieve energie.
Maar ziet hij wel goed wat hij in huis haalt? VVD is niet wat het was. Geradicaliseerd, niet meer coöperatief, leider die alleen aan zichzelf denkt. 1/2

Norway's US embassy had a Christmas tree lighting ceremony sponsored by Equinor, including a massive Equinor logo right next to the tree. Somehow still not as disgusting as the grilled cheese recipe.

Norway absolutely has its own culture: it's ingrained petroganda :)

US government adopted the far-right Great Replacement myth and is now demanding NATO countries to dismantle the EU and the European project. They themselves frame it as a binary choice. Essentially the end of NATO as we know it.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.
