@janneke @jasmijn02 Ik wilde net zeggen: Wat is goed, wat is slecht, wat is beter? Is veel opleveren altijd beter? En wat moet het dan opleveren? Geld? Of is geluk ook iets waard?

Maar die vragen zijn nu overbodig.

De kans op een bezoek aan het Witte Huis door premier #Jetten lijkt verkeken.

@janneke @steltenpower @harld Computer is een eeuwenoud beroep. Met name in de 19e eeuw had ieder bedrijf dat wat te berekenen had wel een klasje computers in dienst. Denk aan banken, technische bedrijven en wetenschappelijke instituten. In dat licht is rekenaar wel een aardige vertaling uit het Engels. Geen idee hoe die werknemers vroeger in Nederland werden genoemd.

How is expelling the population of #Gaza to other countries not ethnic cleansing? Why is most of the world still silent, when #Netanyahu openly says what he is doing?

I boost posts of @auschwitzmuseum because i take #NeverAgainIsNow dead serious. The Holocaust is not owned by Israel. No people should ever again be persecuted for who they are. Yet it happens again in our times against the Palestinians. Also is the rising fascism, like even in the Dutch government, a grave danger. To all the people who are indifferent to fascism, i say: Dare to look one of the 6 million murdered by the nazi's in the eyes and say again that you are indifferent.

Today i witnessed the most disrespectful reception of a foreign leader ever. #Trump and #Vance were bent on belitteling #Zelensky, as if they were some big mafia bosses. An utter disgrace.

@Eetschrijver Het is een oude mannen probleem. Hoe ouder ze worden, hoe angstiger en daarmee conservatiever. Een onvermijdelijk natuurverschijnsel. Dit algemene fenomeen geldt natuurlijk niet voor ieder individu. Jij komt bijvoorbeeld nog altijd fris en fruitig antifascistisch over.

@Radical_EgoCom ... and get yourself locked in the shackles of industry. In that respect socialism doesn't differ much from capitalism.

#Israel committing #genocide in #Gaza, #Amnesty report finds.

Israel forcefully rejected the report’s claims, with a spokesperson dismissing it as “entirely false” and “based on lies,” adding that Amnesty is a “deplorable and fanatical organization.”

Sure, ICC, Amnesty and other human rights organizations are all deplorable and fanatical organizations specifically founded in order to defame Israel. Do you believe it yourself, Israel?

@jwildeboer That funny guy from the land of cheese and wooden shoes? No, that doesn't make a lasting impression.

Remember Google Glass? It didn't even hit the market, because the inconspicuous filming feature would turn its users into pariah's. Now your neighbour's #Tesla is continuously #filming you and your family. Yet you failed to condemn him. Is it ignorance or or deliberate disinterest?

@Radical_EgoCom To me describing agnostic as "not sure", suggests that one is in doubt. That is not exactly it. It is more like not thinking about it at all. When you can't prove or disprove something someone comes up with, then it is not in your realm. An opinion either way would lead to falsehoods.

The perfect picture of #ClimateChange denial.

@Gargron Thus you decided to develop analog social media? :-)

@evan Never. It is designed to let Google spy on you even more.

@Gargron @JeanMarcvanTol I love so much the moderators of flesh and blood at Mastodon. Kudos Eugen!

@Gargron But it is always kind to think about the "original" culture and maybe see benefits and act in accordance. Not mandatory of course.
