Hi, nothing special here. Located in Belgium (Flanders), she, married with 2 children. Interested in science related stuff, some Geo politics (and US), history..no expert on any myself though.
On a positive note, whenever I fuck up at work I can now say: "yes, but did I 'added-a-journalist-in-a-secret-chatgroup-on-a-non-approved-platform-and-got-the-texts-released-because-I-swore-nothing-classified-was-said'-fuckup?"

Someone should ask but what about her emails and find out how loud the crickets suddenly sing.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Musk's bragging about how much money he "saved" is like Ryan Air bragging they lowered costs by firing the pilots and putting the cleaning staff in the cockpit.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

I watched Don't look up for the first time yesterday and it's totally wild that ten years ago I would've looked at my husband and said "what an overacted unrealistic bullshit", and now we looked at each other and said "yep, that's exactly how it's going".

Do I get this straight:
Trump: you shall bow to me! Tarrifs for everyone!
Mexico: I'm offering to do the same I told you before.
Canada: yeah same already told ya.
Trump: great! I'll postpone the tariffs. See how you fear me!
Magaheads: what a great accomplishment such a great business man!
Sigh

The Trump Playbook:
1. Manufacture a crisis.
2. Hype it up.
3. Pretend you solved it.
4. Declare yourself the victor.
5. Repeat.
Basically has our allies asking, “what bone do we throw this crazy idiot so he can parade around beating his chest saying he won?”
It’s all a farce.

Ha ook ik ben een van die Limburgers met een bijna-doodervaring in de wildwaterbaan van Hengelhoef. Een half mirakel dat daar in de jaren 90 geen doden zijn gevallen (zo ver ik weet).

Hoe een wildwaterbaan half Limburg met een trauma opzadelde: “Overtuigd dat ik zou verdrinken”
In Club De Cock op Q-Music getuigde Tom De Cock maandag over het jeugdtrauma dat hij midden jaren negentig opliep in … de wildwaterbaan van Hengelhoef. “Ik belandde in een onderstroom en raakte niet meer boven”, vertelt de presentator, die er de dood in de ogen keek. En samen met hem half Limburg, zo blijkt.

Een zeer goede beslissing en hopelijk volgen er meer. Als de media shitter de rug toekeert zullen de volgers meekomen en als volgers shitter de rug toekeren volgt de media. Zo lang iedereen blijft in zijn "maar ik ga niet als gij niet eerst gaat" is Musk de lachende derde partij.

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too.
This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters.

I wish the media spent half as long on the fact that Donald Trump pardoned Charles Kushner only to appoint him an ambassador as they did bashing President Biden for the Hunter pardon.

I for one am just as upset about this pardon as Magafolks are about all the hundreds of pardons Trump gave to his family and loyalists.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.
