In het licht van de geopolitieke noodsituatie denk ik niet dat we nog de luxe hebben om een kabinet aan te houden dat weigert te regeren.

It's been too long since I played an RPG. This one would be high on my list to try, if I would find the time: rowanrookanddecard.com/product/eat-... It's short (a few sessions), it has vampires, but best of all... "hundreds upon hundreds of extremely dead fascists".

Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

Wat een dom,rancuneus beleid vliegt ons om de oren. Het is om gek van te worden. Wie wint wat bij deze situatie? Wat is de winst van belangwekkend onderzoek schaden? Van ‘hardwerkende’ - hoi, VVD - wetenschappers op straat gooien? Dagelijkse kunst om niet getergd te raken. nos.nl/r/604544

The lunacy in the US highlights why it is so, so important to keep our rights to protest intact. In NL, even "moderate" parties want to curtail these rights, because they find some protests, like those of extinction rebellion or pro-palestine movements, inconvenient. 1/4

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

1/ “It is absolutely critical, too, that scientists are in the vanguard. Some are already doing their bit, but far too many remain silent on the greatest ever threat to human civilisation. This has to change.” @profbillmcguire.bsky.social & @rogerhallam.com are spot on

Why are these scientists being arrested in the Netherlands? Today scientists again joined demonstrations in The Hague against the ±40 billion euros per year the fossil fuel industry receives in subsidies in the Netherlands. The science is clear, it's time to act.

submitted 48 days ago • 8 comments

En even een reminder, waarom doen we dit? Omdat er meer dan 40 miljard aan fossiele subsidies per jaar gaat naar bedrijven die verantwoordelijk zijn voor het veroorzaken van de klimaat en ecologische crisis waardoor nu al duizenden doden per jaar vallen. #DeCrisisIsNu #stopfossielesubsidies

I hear a lot of climate people talk as though more radical language or actions will derail attempts to reach the “moveable middle” but that thinking ignores entirely the tactics the right has used to move moderates to the right. Some thoughts: drilled.ghost.io/the-overton-...

Hoe ik van voorstander #kernenergie tot nucleair scepticus werd. Een betoog in 20+ posts met als afsluiter een column over politici die kernenergie als Red Herring (bewuste afleiding) gebruiken; een truc om nu maar geen maatregelen te hoeven nemen die de #klimaatcrisis een halt kunnen toe roepen.
