“Climate change is generating conditions that can destabilise high-mountain ⁠rock and ice.” Klimaatverandering draagt eraan bij dat gletsjers instorten en (in dit geval) honderden mensen doden. Kom 12 september naar de klimaatmars en eis beter klimaatbeleid! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

16 in Denmark and 9 in the Netherlands you say, @news.sky.com? 🤔

Goed artikel van Lydie Cabane over de maatregelen die ontbreken in onze hitteplannen: “woningen hittebestendig maken, te beginnen bij huurwoningen; scholen en zorggebouwen hittebestendig maken; groenere wijken met ruimte voor water; hitte vastleggen in het arbeidsrecht.” Dat is hard nodig! 🥵

“Zolang we met twee maten blijven meten, sluit het spoor structureel achteraan aan.” Er moet meer geïnvesteerd worden in het spoor!

Came across this yesterday. Nice illustration of the plagiarism that underpins AI. I think it was shared by @simongerman600.bsky.social

Het is 36° in Amsterdam, het DUBBELE van wat gewoon is voor deze dag. 18 effing graden warmer dan normaal. 🥵🤬

2026: “One senior union official told the Financial Times on Thursday: “There are ongoing discussions to try to stop Ed Miliband. There is a GMB-Unite axis on this.”” 2010: GMB and Unite both supported Ed Miliband for the Labour leadership. 🤔 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

En onze pensioenfondsen blijven investeren in de fossiele bedrijven die de klimaatcrisis veroorzaken. Zie verder bsky.app/profile/groe...

Hi @andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social, there seems to be a typo in @peterwalker99.bsky.social’s name here.

Moorish Garden@moorishgarden· Jun 19

Good morning @andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social! There’s a typo in this text (“agreed” should be “agree”).

Klopt. In Glasgow heb je ook allemaal fietspaden die zomaar ergens beginnen en eindigen. Goede routes plannen is lastig en veilig fietsen betekent vaak (heel langzaam) fietsen op de stoep. (Sommige van de blauwe en gele routes op deze kaart horen wat mij betreft niet op een fietskaart thuis...)

The results are in: 97% of PvdA members (Labour) and 96% of GroenLinks members (the Greens) have voted in favour of the merger (and therefore to dissolve their own party. We are now Progressief Nederland together! 💃🏼🕺🏽 ❤️💚

Picture of the conference, showing the results on big screens: 97% of PvdA members (Labour) and 96% of GroenLinks members (the Greens) have voted in favour of the merger.

Moorish Garden@moorishgarden· Jun 13

A vote in favour of the merger. ❤️💚

Moorish Garden@moorishgarden· Jun 13

Historic moment in the Netherlands: the members of two political parties, GroenLinks (the Greens) and the Partij van de Arbeid (Labour), are about to vote on the proposal to merge the parties and become Progressief Nederland (Progressive Netherlands) or PRO. (They are expected to vote “yes”.) ❤️💚

Picture of people attending the founding conference of PRO. Half of the screen is green for GroenLinks (Greens), half red for the Partij van de Arbeid (Labour). Both sides contain the text: “Welcome to the founding conference of PRO”

Brought to you by the Dutch. (🤫🫣) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_...

In May 1977, Kartner was asked to make a promotional song about The Smurfs. The record company initially only pressed 1,000 copies of the single, called "The Smurf Song", since they were unsure about the single's potential. However, they were all sold within one day at a Schlager festival.[6] After a repress, 400,000 singles were quickly sold. A full Smurfs album was then created, which sold 500,000 copies.[7] The album was released in several dozen countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Sweden, and in various different languages. The album scored a number one hit in 16 countries. Subsequently, Kartner released other Smurf-themed albums, again in various countries and languages, such as Ga je mee naar Smurfenland (Dutch) and Vater Abraham im Land der Schlümpfe (German). In all, Kartner's Smurf works have sold around 17 million copies.[8]

Yes, thank you @stephenkb.bsky.social. Lots of people seem to be jumping to the wrong conclusions here.

Do these politicians not read the research on this? 👉 If you copy Reform’s policies, you are saying that Reform is right and that will make some of your voters choose Reform. 👉 But it will make even more Labour voters vote Green or LibDem, handing the seats to Reform. Idiots the lot of them! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi @edmo-eu.bsky.social, this paragraph in the article about the monetisation of outrage seems to have accidentally been split in two. @shoutoutuk.bsky.social edmo.eu/blog/the-mon...

zoals Not In Our Name (NION) - vrouwen die zich verzetten tegen het onzinnige idee dat dit beleid vrouwen veiliger zou maken - en Labour 4 Trans Rights. Goed dat mensen solidariteit tonen en dit niet zomaar accepteren. @nionwomen.bsky.social @labour4transrights.bsky.social @goodlawproject.org

I’m sorry if you thought that I was complaining. It was an honest question. You are the only one that I know of who creates threads using alt text, so I am curious about why you have decided to do it that way. And I don’t “follow” you because you are part of my “UK and EU”-list. I prefer to follow

Strengere regels voor demonstraties zijn niet nodig en kunnen zelfs averechts werken.

Ziet er goed uit op het eerste gezicht (zonder verder enig verstand te hebben van dit soort plannen).

I can’t find a lot of information on this concept online, apart from this interview: thecityateyelevel.com/app/uploads/... The link on this website where it seems to have been described as a good practice no longer seems to work: www.interregeurope.eu/good-practic... 6/6

Hoi @trouw.nl, volgens mij klopt deze uitspraak niet. Starbucks kwam juist relatief laat naar de Nederlandse steden. We hadden het buiten de deur koffiedrinken toen allang ontdekt. Coffee Company begon bijvoorbeeld in 1996. De eerste Starbucks in Amsterdam opende pas 15 jaar later, in 2011.

… zegt Deben. “Starbucks was de 1e, grote partij in Nederland die mensen leerde om buiten de deur koffie te drinken. […]”

This PMB to change the constitution to include a “corrective referendum” has changed hands at least twice: it was introduced by MPs Marijnissen and Temmink, who passed it on to the MP Dijk, who then passed it on to the MP Van Nispen (who has since left Parliament; not sure who is responsible now).

Moorish Garden@moorishgarden· Jan 21

Good idea! I would go for buying European though: we need each other(‘s yummy food 😉). There are several apps for that, like this one. I’ve tried two products so far and on one it was correct, but I am pretty sure that Farm Brothers is an NL company with BE parent. apps.apple.com/nl/app/buy-e...

Is the UK government asking people to prepare for emergencies? Dutch residents have all been sent a booklet that explains that we need to be able to manage by ourselves for 72 hours without electricity, water etc. I think I may have seen similar things from Poland(?) and Finland(?), but not the UK.
