re: general pol 

@byte It makes a lot more sense when you consider that elections have basically nothing to do with policy choices, and everything with emotional appeal and charisma - it's easy to look like you're the best candidate if you're not actually expected to know what you're doing

Good news! The rainbow crossing (or "gaybrapad") on the Stadsring in #Amersfoort has been restored. It had been removed together with all the other road markings for the resurfacing of the road, but it's now back in all its glory. Just in time for #pride month!

Many Dutch academics tend to be more concerned about "polarisation" than about genocide and consider the word 'racism' more offensive than racism itself. These are not unrelated.

One way to know that “AI is coming for your jobs” is a bluff is to see it paired with “and cancer will be cured.” The same Ferengis pushing AI are also working to cut funding for medical research! No cure for cancer is forthcoming without working scientists. bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-ai

re: "AI" 

@jhwgh1968@chaos.social @wxcafe "I also can't help but notice that all of the routine tasks they're good at... were already automated to those in the know"

This is probably the one thing about this whole charade that infuriates me the most. How everything "AI" is always compared against having basically no tools at your disposal, rather than against the status quo of tooling, *and people actually buying into that narrative*.

NSFW, Looking for Kink Toy, Ball Gag 

Reaching out to all the weirdos out there: does anyone know where I can get a ball gag with a squeaker in it? It doesn't necessarily need to be a ball, I just want a gag that squeaks when you bite.

Zo weten we hoeveel mensen we kunnen verwachten.

"If they have to do it, they should do it in private."

"Yeah!"

"It's not right, doing it in the open where kids can see."

"Yeah! It's not like they have to, it's something they choose to do."

"True. Hate is a lifestyle choice."

"Absol- Hate?"

"Yeah. What did you think we were talking about?"

fedi modding 

who knew, the instance that i fediblocked for interacting with the racist eris in 2024 has been called out in 2025 for something else awful

maybe those federating with the racist eris on that instance have something in common with being awful

@McHollander Ik heb ooit wat met GL gedaan en sindsdien krijg ik e-mail na e-mail na e-mail. En iedere keer staat het he-le-maal vol met grote taal maar nooit wordt er iets concreets genoemd. In nietszeggendheid zijn ze inderdaad erg goed.

Het is bijna net zo erg als die rotzooi van de Democrats in de VS die je ook constant door je strot geduwd krijgt als je ooit in een vlaag van verstandsverbijstering eens ergens een petitie ondertekend hebt...

Maar dan moet je wel durven. Je moet wel durven vragen:

"waarom betaalt Tata 94 keer minder energiebelasting dan een gewone burger en is dat eerlijk?"

En misschien moet ik ook nog maar eens herhalen wat er moet gebeuren om wel tot oplossingen te komen: de AGENDA bepalen.

Asiel, migratie en andere hetze-onderwerpen kan alleen maar extreem-rechts van profiteren.

Terwijl: De kosten van wonen, overleven en hoe het belastingparadijs Nederland voor de extreem rijken daar de oorzaak van is, zijn serieuzere acute onderwerpen.

Show thread

For a while now, whenever I read or watch news pieces and pundit discussions about “the economy” I always think of this…

The concept of "sex-positivity" is to oppose Puritanism and laws that constrain the expression of CONSENSUAL sex amongst adults.

It is NOT, or should NOT BE, a condemnation of those who choose as consenting adults to be sex adverse, or those whose sexuality (or lack thereof) does not meet any standard other than mutual respect, mutual consent, and mutual pleasure.

It is so much more than just "More and better sex!!"
