This!! The Dutch government is setting money aside to attract scientists from the US while simultaneously imposing devastating budget cuts to higher education & science in NL and (!!!) demanding restrictions on the "internationalization" of universities. Make it make sense! 🤯

Yesilgöz wijst samenwerking met het centrumlinkse, democratische GL-PvdA duidelijker af dan (opnieuw) met de PVV, die keer op keer liberaal democratische normen overschrijdt en zich "super onverantwoord" toonde. Dat zegt iets over de huidige Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie.

I'm not a native 🇳🇱 speaker, but I find this framing - "a child poor" society - peculiar. Yes, given current trends, there will be fewer children. Does that have to be pitched negatively? If we behave as if TFR will return to sustained replacement level: Maybe. But we can make different choices.

New open-access article in @genus.bsky.social in the "Inequality of Uncertainty" issue edited by @comochia.bsky.social & @marcoalbertini.bsky.social. The findings show that levels of societal pessimism differed only among the women's classes, w/ the highest levels observed in the 'uncertain' group.

Had great fun at @tilburg-university.bsky.social's #NightUniversity. During the talk, I asked the audience what they think the main reason is people expect they won't have #children. The room was majority young #students. This is what they said (& yes, my opening slide might have primed them ;))...

Implement a 100% tariff & ruin a movie 'The magnificent 14'

Making the items families need to care for their children - car seats, strollers, and the like - more expensive because tariffs is most certainly not going to make it easier for potential parents to afford to have a child.

Natuurlijk is er veel mis aan NL universiteiten. Maar de vraag wat de monsterbezuinigingen van dit extreemrechtse kabinet daar aan gaan veranderen, blijft onbeantwoord. (Sterker: die lijken eerder bedoeld om universiteiten te straffen voor wat ze wél goed doen.) www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin...

Watched a video where the person said "Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and was about life in the summer of 1963. If the movie came out today it would be about the summer of 2001." My geriatric millennial self will be in a corner rocking back & forth if someone asks...

Apparently, keeping the celebration of the 🇳🇱 monarch's "birthday" end of April was also motivated by a desire to stick it to the socialist movement & prevent a push for a May 1 celebration... www.trouw.nl/voorpagina/w...

As far as I know, there is only one type of policy that has resulted in substantially larger birth cohorts: draconian restrictions to contraception & abortion. Interestingly: not even consistently (check TFR of RO post decree 770). I guess they already have one of these elements in place.

Duitsland beweegt zich weg van Nederland. De nieuwe Duitse regering investeert juist wel in de internationalisering van het hoger onderwijs en onderzoek, en wil de investeringen in onderzoek en innovatie verhogen naar 3,5 procent van het bbp.

Het #CDA mag dan een meer positieve smoel krijgen, ze zijn verantwoordelijk voor deze dramatische bezuiniging op het hoger onderwijs. En #EppoBruins raffelt zijn riedel weer af over defensie en koopkracht. Wat een aanfluiting.
