Hoe amusant: schrijf iets over de overduidelijke sympathie van Forum voor democratie (Baudet, Ralf Dekker, John Laughland) voor Poetins Rusland en een deel van de aanhang komt los en laat zich, soms scheldend, kennen als ‘fellow traveller’ van de dictatuur: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

Moment mal, sehe ich das richtig? Schützen uns Unternehmen gar nicht vor autoritären Machtübernahmen? Machen Kapitalisten etwa gemeinsame Sache mit Faschisten?

Perhaps this is obvious but perhaps not: both my research work and my public-facing writing would be impossible without the astounding resources of university libraries.

My household also makes ample use of our local public library.

Libraries are amazing.

The Canadian Letters & Images Project is an online digital archive of Canadians’ experience during wartime at home & in battle. It contains thousands of personal letters & photos that reveal people’s experience through their own words & eyes.
www.canadianletters.ca/content/abou...
The homepage for the Canadian letters and images project. It shows soldiers posing for a photograph and there is a search bar in the centre. In the about section below, which cannot be seen in this image, it provides this information: The Canadian Letters and Images Project, created in 2000, is an online digital archive of the Canadian war experience, both home front and battlefront, from any conflict in which Canadians have participated. The focus of the project is on the personal materials of participants, such as letters and photographs, which permit us to experience the war through their eyes and their words. These are very often the stories of ordinary Canadians, largely forgotten and overlooked. Our mission is to digitally preserve and continue to make freely accessible this important part of Canada’s heritage for this generation and future generations. The vision of the project is to continue to expand this repository of Canadian archival materials by collaborating with Canadians to preserve and share the individual and collective stories that have shaped our past Accessibility to the past is key to understanding who we are as a nation. We are committed to free access for everyone to the materials of the project. All collections are of equal importance. Every letter, photograph, or other artifact has an important story to tell. The collections and their contents are not edited or censored. Our role as historians is not to judge the past in light of the present, but to present everything in its entirety at the time of its creation.

Deze VVD-prominent heeft Doorbraak en mij gesommeerd om een artikel te verwijderen.

Hij probeert ons te intimideren (met zijn eigen incassobureau nota bene) omdat hij geen kritiek kan hebben.

Maar hij is in het verkeerde wespennest gaan staan.

Help mij Mark Smits uit te lichten door dit te delen!

In a world drowning in so much empty “content” its pretty much impossible to spin up literally any episode of In Our Time and not come away without having added +5 to the kind of obscure skill that a Call of Cthulhu investigator might need to check (added bonus relatively little SAN loss too).

Dit komt als geroepen: waarom wordt er binnen de academie zo onkritisch omgesprongen met de implementatie van AI? Niet door iedereen, wel door opvallend veel mensen. Het lijkt wel of hun kritisch vermogen op pauze gaat als het hierover gaat, want verder beschikken ze vaak over heel wat krit. verm.
