Bericht aan alle #wegbeheerders: fietsnietjes met (holle) ronde buizen zijn gemakkelijk te saboteren! ✂️🚲

Daarom mijn advies om enkel fietsnietjes te installeren die gemaakt zijn van van dikker platstaal. Zoals we doen bij #Maintain!

Dans la constellation du Taureau, à 3000 années-lumière, on peut trouver cette dépouille stellaire. La vie d'une étoile s'est achevée explosivement, éjectant les produits de son évolution pour former la nébuleuse des spaghettis, qui enrichit la galaxie en atomes nouveaux.

Op 11 november 1918 om 11.00 uur eindigde de Eerste Wereldoorlog, toen de wapens werden neergelegd. Zes uur eerder werd de beëindiging ondertekend. Maar tot de laatste minuut is gevochten. Om 10.59 uur sneuvelde de laatste soldaat in een oorlog die miljoenen het leven kostte.

Homicide is the No. 1 way pregnant women die, research has showed, but a new study finds that they are even more vulnerable than other women of childbearing age when there’s a gun involved. https://cnn.it/49M5XLr

Ik ben dit soort gezeik van n-va eerlijk gezegd spuugzat ...

Ook mensen die om één of andere reden niet (kunnen) werken kunnen een serieuze bijdrage leveren aan de samenleving en sommigen die werken dragen helemaal niet bij aan de samenleving, integendeel ...
Alle N-VA’ers zijn allicht volop aan het werk vandaag, en morgen ook. ‘Om onze welvaart te beschermen’. 🤡

Using algorithms to detect fraud 🤦. In the Netherlands they targeted racialised & poor families. The accusations were BS, ppl were ruined, some committed suicide.
See - What the Dutch benefits scandal and policy's focus on ‘fraud’ can teach us about the endurance of empire doi.org/10.1177/0261...
UK government project using AI to find benefit fraud resulted in:

- A 46% false fraud rate
- Anguish for families who were wrongly accused of fraud and had benefits stopped
- Months of additional work for government, setting up a hotline, correcting false fraud

Sarah Malcolm murdered three women in 1733 and was sketched in her prison cell, before being hanged, by William Hogarth. Anybody know another example of a prison portrait? I don't.

The European Commission will unveil a “digital omnibus” package later this month to simplify many of its tech laws.

It’s insisted that it is only trimming excess fat through “targeted” amendments ... but draft documents obtained by POLITICO show otherwise.

Dus ik zie net op @vrtnws.be dat boeren in Malawi niet kunnen zaaien omdat de Vlaamse overheid de geldkraan dichtdraait en ik word razend kwaad van het feit dat politieke partijen betaald worden om shit te posten op facebook maar dan beweren dat zaaigoed voor Afrika teveel kost.
