Let’s increase our aid to #Ukraine Massively 🇪🇺🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦

@nieuws.nos.nl: "Monegask Verstappen doet mee aan een andere auto hardrij wedstrijd dan normaal. Super belangrijk. Laten we iedereen met de NOS app een notificatie sturen" 🙄

Ultimate greed. Evil, if you ask me. Insane as well. www.wired.com/story/tesla-...

Golf is a hobby, not a sport. F1 is neither. These are my takes.

Rijkste man Frankrijk klaagt over belasting voor extreem rijken, noemt bedenker ‘een extreemlinkse activist’ Zeiden we twee procent belasting op vermogen boven de 100 miljoen euro? We bedoelden natuurlijk 95%. Bedankt, dag.

"I work for Upwork Company, please add my ... <hangs up>" Are there actual, living people who get robocalls like that (in whatever language) and then add the number and engage in conversation? (Assuming there is "conversation" after adding the number to their contacts, and not just more spam).

@nespressousa.bsky.social why does vertuo coffee have foam on it? Because it’s not crema, it’s foam. A thick layer of foam.

There are zero valid reasons to do a loud video call in public.

Returning from the frontlines for moments like this reminds you what they’re fighting for.

It’s weird to see MAGA being angry at Trump, not because of rising food prices, not because kicking people off Medicaid, and not because of ICE raids across the country, but solely because he’s not giving them the stick they think will let them beat democrats (the Epstein list).

Bewoners verzetten zich tegen komst appartementen: 'Waarom zou je dit volbouwen? Ik heb toch al een huis. Laat mensen die al jaren op de wachtlijst staan voor een woning lekker het geen-en-weer krijgen!’ nos.nl/r/644256

FTFA: "VVD-leider Yesilgöz is naar eigen zeggen "zo pissig". Op X zegt zij dat Wilders zijn eigen belang "opnieuw" boven het landsbelang plaatst, net als in 2012 toen hij het kabinet-Rutte I ten val bracht." Jezus. No shit Sherlock. Was niet voorspelbaar of zo... nos.nl/artikel/2569...

Beste @nieuws.nos.nl, Het is “Kyiv”, niet “Kiev” nos.nl/r/631593

@fastmail.com Any way to get the old inbox theme back? I appreciate the effort in updating the looks, but I reaaaally miss the line between messages like in the (old) screenshot. Or maybe an option to get this line in the new theme?

This whole “stop the oligarch” thing is nice and absolutely justified. But we should also look at the fact that billionaires exist at all and unexist them (their wealth, not the people). Billionaires Should Not Exist Otherwise, todays non-oligarch billionaire will be tomorrows oligarch.

So ehm Will the MAGA hats and other Trump merch see a 50% price hike as well, due to tariffs?

Billionaires Should Not Exist

That’s the one logic that makes it all make sense. There is no conception of US interests, including an imperial one, in which this makes sense. (3/3)

It’s America destroying its own best alliances, cutting itself off from its own crucial bases, making a Russian nuclear first strike on the US easier, opening Arctic territories that were once safe to Russian expansion. (2/3)

Important to realize that Trump’s approach to Canada and Greenland is like his approach to Ukraine. It’s not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism. (1/3)

The best economy, even better than during his first term!

Watching some TV and seeing a tiny bit of one of those US cop shows. Some cop literally _arrests_ a guy because he has a sticker on his car that reads “I EAT ASS”. WTF. So much for you precious first amendment. Rules for thee, not for me. You can say everything in the US as long as it’s puritan 😩

A while ago I was talking to a friend who said (in short) “the decline of the US started presidents ago (not with Reagan ❤️ of course), it’s all the Dems fault and it’ll all be fine”. I thought him to be nuts. Today this. The US is so screwed. How can they possibly fix this peacefully?

Turkse politie pakt tientallen op voor posts op sociale media

Trump z'n speciaal gezant is volledig in de ban van Russische propaganda. Denkt dat de bevolking van bezet Oekraïne dolgraag onder Poetin wil leven. Ondertussen zijn PVV, VVD en NSC samen tégen defensiebonds en het EU-defensieplan, want volgens hen heeft Europa álle tijd...

With the momentum @aoc.bsky.social is building, I’m worried Trump will pull an Erdogan on her. She’s basically the sane people’s hope, the breathing potential of liberal revival, and the future of democracy in America. Yes, that’s very pompous, but also true. The next four years worry me a lot 😟

Jaw dropping ignorance. Witkoff knows nothing. Has no knowledge of the violence that Russians have used to suppress Ukrainians in Occupied Ukraine

I don’t think this is said often enough: Zelenskyy is an incredible badass, and deserves an immense amount of respect Person of the century 🇺🇦

“Nederland denkt er niet over te stoppen met de overstap op F-35's, zei de Nederlandse defensieminister Brekelmans eerder deze week.” Tuurlijk niet. Wij zijn veel te druk bezig met duiken en de schuld van alles aan asielzoekers te geven… nos.nl/l/2559658

Decided to unfollow all the “good morning <list of people>” and boosterpack folks. Not here to listen in on your coffee conversation, tbh

I find myself muting the TV when the Zelensky - Trump clash comes on. I cannot listen to that orange dweeb pretending to be tough
