My passion lies in: science and technology. I am a Leftist, Anti-Fascist, Anti-Monarchist, Agnostic-Atheist and Anti-Theist. | Den Helder, The Netherlands.
The Stop Killing Games initiative has just reached it's signature goal. It is now important that it goes way over a million. This because a buffer is needed, due to people who sign double or who aren't EU citizens. And are thus invalid. After that, the hard part, ...

Happy Pride Month to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community! Remember, your existence has a wonderful effect upon the blood pressure of those that hate you. So, those that can't change their mind and accept you, will resolve themselves, in time.

In another act against academic freedom, the Trump administration has revoked foreign student enrollment to Harvard. With this, they want to exercise tighter control on universities and at the same time, deport more of die unterm...*cough*, foreigners. They want full control of the curriculum.

For managed democracy! For freedom! 😮‍💨.

"(Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he had selected a design for the $175-billion Golden Dome missile defense shield and named a Space Force general to head the ambitious program aimed at blocking threats from China and Russia."

In The Netherlands, too, academic freedom is under pressure. It is high time, that academic freedom gets enshrined into the Dutch Constitution.

"Watson Coleman's office says they reviewed the body cam footage and that it proves "nobody 'assaulted' any agents.""

Really, the Gestapo, who just want to silence political opposition for the regime, lied.

Look below for a selfie of my reaction to this news.

It wasn't just once... And this time, it's "enhanced" with AI. All you had to do, is put in prompts and check the results. If this is the new level of attention to detail we can expect, then all of America's enemies can sleep tight. The civilians in those countries, on the other hand.

Ah yes, a fine display of those anti-woke folks being mere tourists of the franchise. Let me put it like this, it's not the Jedi who wield red sabers. And btw Star Wars has always been woke, just ask Mr. Lucas what the Empire and the Rebellion represented. Or Vader and Sidious. One final point,...

Elon Musk:❗️. Concerning. Looking into this. Could it be that millions of people are telling me something? Nah, these must be radical Left, woke, fake news numbers.

(See second image.) Soon to be ex-employee: But, sir, these are the numbers your own company reported.

... that the PVV doesn't have the spine to say it with their chest, when called out for it. Bosma: "On such an evening, politics are discussed and about things that could possibly happen, yes.". Stop being such weasels. Say it with your chest. Are you not feeling contempt for your own weakness?...

To no one's surprise, the Dutch far-right party, PVV, is still in favor of a Greater Netherlands. It should not be surprising that the "Milders" propaganda, about Geert Wilders, pushed by some of the centrist parties and media, is nonsense. And what also shouldn't be surprising is...

Donald Trump, ze Führer, is in such good health, that, if health were a race, he would come in superior *cough*, I mean 1st. He's, if you will, a master, at these races.

If insecurity was a WMD, then the Trump regime would be unstoppable, on an intergalactic scale.

I scored pretty well, while being a sentientist myself. Not surprising of course, as there is a lot of overlap. The answers to the questions could do with a bit more nuance, though. I had to go with "hmmm, close enough", a few too many times.

The Right, is as predictable as ever, here is a small sampling of the responses from the far-right/anti-democratic forces in europe, to Marine Le Pen's guilty verdict.

How dare we protect democracy, against those who break its laws.

They say: You're depriving 11 million people of voting for...
April 1, 2025 at 12:20 PM
Marine Le Pen is barred from seeking office for 5 years. This, as a consequence of her own actions. As a show of true weakness, she stood up and refused to face the music, when the verdict was being read. Weakness, something that the far-right is not very keen on.

Donald Trump and his administration basically don't like anything or one, but, accusations in the mirror, are certainly amongst the exceptions.

"Trump claimed there has been a “concerted and widespread” effort over the past decade to rewrite American history by replacing “objective facts” with a...

We all know who the real enemy is here. @theatlantic.com, how dare you do your job, and inform the public about national security breaches. How dare you show how the Trump regime sees defense as purely transactional (f*** allies). How dare you show what the U.S. thinks of Europe. Shame on you.

Here we have yet another threat against the 1st amendment. In this case with a threat against an elected official, Mrs. @repjasmine.bsky.social. A threat that's coming from the AG of the United States. This, in service of the unofficial Dear Leader. She pretends that Mrs. Crockett issued a threat...

The phrase, "Money does not buy happiness", is partly true. Because it does make people happy, to a point, one that is reached fairly quickly. And for the definition of the truth of that phrase, that you will find when going beyond that base level of wealth, see picture ⬇️.

The decision to bar Călin Georgescu has been upheld. Romania has shown that, in fact, you can defend your country against Putin's sock puppets.

And of course, instead of seeing this as a consequence of his own actions, Georgescu, like the Far-Right snowflakes always do, cries victim. ...
March 12, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Hey America, this is how you deal with anti-democratic forces, unless they do something worse of course, then you should adjust the consequences accordingly.

This particular ban happened because of election interference, by Russia, in the Romanian election. Hopefully it'll be upheld. But, in...

After the clown show from yesterday, where Zelenskyy and Ukraine were effectively told to go F*** themselves, this was published. A 1984 style rewrite of what happened and how The Party, says, events are to be interpreted. (1/3)
