I sometimes wonder how I would react if it happened to me...

This personal report, about having to continue after loosing your partner, is painful to read and really beautiful at the same time.

The Blurring

What I live with isn't forgetting, it's the blurring. A meditation on grief, memory, and continuing without answers three years after loss.

Farage falsely accuses eastern European migrants of eating swans from London parks

The Royal Parks charity quickly clarified that there was ‘no evidence’ of swans being killed and eaten

Ik hoop dat er over meer gepraat kan worden dan afschaffen kortingsbonnen voor koelkasten?…

Nice! If you need a tool to gather evidence of impact and get the wider neighborhood on board, including skeptics, consider using Telraam!

Parallels to the 1930s can feel alarmist or too easy, but I doubt I’m the only one thinking of Horst Wessel right now…

Is dat die vuurtoren aan de oude energiecentrale!? Daar was ik 2w geleden! :)
Moeilijk kiezen qua streek. Ik hou wel van Devon/Cornwall. Dat is het meest remote. Dartmoor/Exmoor is heerlijk bevreemdend. Minder Castles wel. Sussex/Dorset/Peak is cultureel rijker. Zaaaalige huizen daar. DM voor meer

Er is sowieso te veel om te bezoeken. Veel pareltjes in Cotswolds. Wij hebben zowat alle regio's al eens gedaan. Devon, Cornwall, Kent, Dorset, Peak, Lakes,... Dit jaar was het Kent/Sussex o.a. Battle en Dungeness. Very nice!
Curious, waar gaat ge nu heen?

Way too many people, even liberals, fall into this trap of “inversionism”. Read this thread. Twice.

Eliot Higgins @eliothiggins.bsky.social · Aug 3

The core problem is this, he doesn’t practice principled anti-imperialism. He practices inversionism: if the U.S. supports something, he reflexively takes the opposite side, no matter how brutal that side is, no matter the evidence.

Plainly predictable

Elizabeth Spiers @espiers.bsky.social · Apr 17

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

…als bedrijfswagens verplicht elektrisch zijn, dan zullen OEM’s minder EV’s moeten verkopen in de private markt om aan de EU standaarden te kunnen voldoen.
Ik vind die standaard gewoon een beter instrument.

Kris Vanherle @krisvanherle.bsky.social · Jul 27

Willen we een snellere ingang van EV’s? Verstreng dan die normen, ipv een maatregel die de facto enkel een distributie-effect heeft. De OEM’s weten goed genoeg welk beleid van tel is en welk niet. 2/2

Kris Vanherle @krisvanherle.bsky.social · Jul 27

Ik wil maar zeggen, het zijn díe normen die het belangrijkste zijn voor de CO2-emissies van alle personenwagens in de EU. Een aankoopsubsidie in 1 land of een verplichting voor elektrische bedrijfswagens in een ander land, bepaalt enkel in welke sub-markt meer of minder EV’s zullen zijn. 1/2

Kris Vanherle @krisvanherle.bsky.social · Jul 27

Het is niet nodig mijn inziens. De norm v gemiddelde CO2-uitstoot van nieuwe wagens is al jaren het bepalende beleidsinstrument. Al de rest, ook dit idee, beïnvloedt enkel in welke sub-sector (op EU-niveau) de CO2 daling meer of minder gebeurt. Een (snellere) daling van die normen, dát heeft effect.

Yes, I think the finishing does a lot of good here. It’s got this nice weird combo of being modern and very slick, but still “cozy traditional” with the textured wall. Result is great!
The Telraam is an outdoor variant, just a bit up the slope. Solar-powered indeed, mounted on a pole.

From my home town in Leuven. The picture doesn’t do it justice really. Couldn’t find a better one. Nice and slick with curvy roads leading to and from. Fun to drive there.

… and has a Telraam counting the bikes on it! :)

🧵 I often talk about VDA, Verification, Deliberation, Accountability, as the core functions that make democracy possible. But to understand what’s gone wrong, we need to look at how those functions have changed.
