Vandaag 250.000 mensen die in Amsterdam vreedzaam demonstreren tegen genocide, voor vrede, voor medemenselijkheid, voor een Palestijnse staat.

De sociale meerderheid laat zich zien, laat zich horen.

“For a witch stands on the very edge of everything, between the light and the dark, between life and death, making choices, making decisions so that others may pretend no decisions have even been needed.”
- Terry Pratchett, The Shepherd's Crown

Happy equinox!

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer:
"Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay!

What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer
Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

One of the best things about being in an international server is that if I mention that I live in Bear Country (CO), the Australians all howl about how we need to shut up about Aussie wildlife, because THEIR large carnivores mostly stay in the water, NOT INVITE THEMSELVES INTO THE KITCHEN. (🧵1/?)

When it comes to the female gaze, Zendaya is every woman I know here.

FWIW, I think Hugh Jackman could also pull this off. 🤷‍♀️

HT Against expectation, Spain have failed to score a goal. The memory of that powerless, aimless penalty attempt has got to sting now.

Switzerland is clearly not as fast as their opponent, but they’re gonna keep running.

Love ys straunge, so reale yn the derke,
Thynke of the tendre thinges we made ower craftes vpon.
Slowe chaunge may pulle us aparte
Whan the lighte doth drifte ynto thyne herte, leman.
Do not thee, foryete aboute me.
Do not, nay, do not, nay,
Do not thee, foryete aboute me.

Since I’m watching #WEURO2025 I’m seeing tv ads. So, a Dutch party leader who is a refugee, who is anti-refugees, falsely accused a singer of hating Jews, so he and his family had to seek refuge in another country.

He’s featured prominently in these tv ads… for a travel agency.

I was surprised to read that Wales has the gayest team in #WEURO2025 What about us? Is the Netherlands not very gay?

But it’s correct, 9 vs 8 in the squad. Which I guess makes #WALNED the gayest match of the tournament! 😍🌈

Fijn dat de taal van het activisme in naam der menselijkheid het eindelijk heeft overgenomen van de consultants-holheid over 'Samen werken aan vertrouwen.' De beuk erin tegen extreem-rechts en alle 'milde midden'-troepen die het faciliteren.

Op naar de 40 zetels! Het linkse kutvolk is het zat.
Deze asielwetten zijn asociaal, onverantwoord en onmenselijk.

De sociale meerderheid in Nederland wil geen symboolpolitiek, maar menselijke oplossingen.

We hebben nog één kans om deze wetten tegen te houden.

En jij kunt ons helpen.
