Fun read, indeed bringing back earlier interweb days. It's the sloppy adoption of haphazard standards, stupid

📊 68% van de volwassenen wil superrijken extra belasten. Drie-kwart van de miljonairs steunt hogere belasting op vermogen en vindt dat ongelijkheid een gevaar is voor de democratie. 💸 Superrijken verhuizen hun vermogen niet na een hogere belasting, in tegenstelling tot wat media vaak suggereert. 🧵

In our latest “Lives Well Lived” episode, Rutger Bregman calls factory farming “the most obvious moral atrocity of our time.” Bentham said the key question is not whether animals can reason or talk, but whether they can suffer. Today, we know that they do. (1/2)

🌍Klimaatverandering is geen technisch probleem, maar een sociaal probleem. 🚨De rijkste 10% is verantwoordelijk voor 67% van de uitstoot. De rijkste 1% voor 20%. De rijksten betalen relatief de minste belasting. Fossiele subsidies zijn tot wel €46 miljard 💸Vervuiling is een verdienmodel van de top.

De eigenaar van Basic Fit stortte 100.000 euro in de campagnekas van de VVD. Nu verbiedt het kabinet universiteiten goedkoop sportfaciliteiten voor studenten aan te bieden “om de markt niet te verstoren”. Je kon het lezen in de nieuwste Joop NL. Abonneer je nu hier. www.bnnvara.nl/joop/nieuwsb...

🇪🇺💙 " De EU, met al haar mankementen, is het enige wat nog in staat tussen onze samenleving en de, [...] grootmachten in het oosten. Wie denkt dat de Nederlandse burger weinig te vertellen heeft in Brussel, heeft geen idee hoe koud het buiten is zonder EU-jas aan. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

a rare example indeed: after forever berating Germans for not standing up to Hitler and encouraging people in police states to rise up against their oppressors, Americans themselves turn out to be so weak in the face of Trump. Perhaps it's the individualism. Resistance is collective.

Tesla runs a subsidiary in Amsterdam – one that, on paper, resembles a giant car factory. It pulled in €26 billion in revenue last year, nearly a third of the company’s global turnover. But Tesla builds no car there – and pays almost no corporate tax in the Netherlands.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

WATCH: “Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro.” @maddow.msnbc.com explains how Trump’s tariffs policy came from his economic advisor Peter Navarro, who invented a fake expert in his books to justify it🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏼 And now markets are crashing 🎪 #TrumpTradeWar #AmericanBrexit

Kan de overheid meer geld uit geven? De ramingen van het structurele begrotingstekort zijn de afgelopen tijd zo snel verbeterd, dat het kabinet inmiddels ruim voldoet aan de aanbevelingen van de Studiegroep Begrotingsruimte. (1/3)

stoor me zo erg aan deze kop. een rotte kies met "zwervers en junks", alsof het ongedierte is waar je overheen moet stappen, in plaats van mensen zonder huis of mensen mensen die kampen met verslavingsproblematiek; die dus zorg en zachte hand nodig hebben. zo dehumaniserend.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.
