Good news! For the first time in at least 25 years, more than half of global billionaire wealth is now held by self-made entrepreneurs who earned their fortunes through competitive market activities, i.e. the rest of us buying their products. No inherited dynasties, plunder or expropriation.

I hit 100 paid subscribers today! The growth chart looks like a staircase drawn by a toddler who's never seen stairs, but I'll take it. (See if you can spot which jumps are which hit pieces.) Thanks for subscribing, my triple-digit crowd! substacktools.com/sharex/es27Y... via Postbro

I always enjoy a good debunking of nostalgia for a "Golden Age". This one I actually lived through! I can attest that kids in the 80s-90s watched tons of TV. At home, we only had a lousy black-and-white set with no cable, and screen time was rationed. But I made up for it at my friends' houses. 😉

From today, I identify as Māori. I've always felt that I was a Māori trapped in a Caucasian body. If you refuse to accept that my ethnic identity doesn't align with my race assigned at birth (RAAB), you're engaging in a form of "existential denial"—and I will sue you for symbolic genocide. /1

Een verhit TV-debat over airco (in een lekker gekoelde studio) maartenboudry.be/2026/07/een-...

European ethicists identify a terrifying threat from across the Atlantic: cars that learn not to crash. It's scandalous our that precious road data is exploited by Musk to make cars safer — enriching him with sensitive data of what roundabouts looks like. Won't someone think of the data sovereignty?

De Gruyter (@degruyterbrill.bsky.social) is about to publish a new volume on war & bioethics. Meet their editor: - "Long live Hamas" - Jews are "parasites" who "steal organs" I'm sure this will be a scrupulously even-handed & rigorous contribution to war ethics—setting a gold standard for the field.

Never deleting this app. 🍿😅

It's not just the Left that's suffering from cognitive dissonance about heat waves. The Right can't seem to make up their minds either. You can't have it both ways: ➡️Pooh-pooh extreme heat: "Don't be so alarmist, chill out and go for a swim!" ➡️Blame anti-A/C Greens for thousands of heat deaths.

20,000+ heat deaths because Europe refused to install A/C. But think about all the future lives saved! The more seniors die now, the less A/C our grandkids will need. It's intergenerational solidarity: the old sacrificing for the unborn. Europe is leading the world, one sweltering bedroom at a time.

Everyone in Europe could have life-saving A/C with zero carbon emissions if we had simply done what China did over the past decade: double our nuclear capacity. Instead, Europe shut down its nuclear power plants—and then lectured people for using too much energy, even as thousands died from heat.

Wat een achterbakse leugen: ik heb @brechtje.eurosky.social helemaal niet geblokt, zij heeft MIJ geblokt (nog nooit enige interactie mee gehad). Dat is juist waarom ik een screenshot moet posten, want citeren kan niet meer. Ik block hier niemand. Hoe komen mensen erbij om zo schaamteloos te liegen?

Antwoord staat LETTERLIJK in mijn post en in Freeks rapport. Lees je weleens iets buiten BlueSky? "Representativiteit" was een smoesje want in handomdraai op te lossen met hun EIGEN subcategorieën. En nu echt laatste antwoord, ik heb betere dingen te doen. maartenboudry.substack.com/p/the-bar-th...

Wacht, misschien vind ik #Dikketruiendag tóch niet zo'n gek idee. 😜

Mocht ik jou zijn, zou ik wat dimmen nadat je zo hoog van de toren blies en dan hard op je bek ging. Niks "complottheorie", ik had over de hele lijn gelijk. VRT zat wél op onwelgevallige data over migratie & LGBT-intolerantie, exact zoals ik voorspelde. maartenboudry.substack.com/p/the-bar-th... /1

Dag Brechtje, ik heb nieuws voor je: je grootmoeder is niet gestorven aan corona omdat ze geen vaccin kreeg, maar omdat ze in Wuhan schubdieren eten. Symptoombestrijding is voor losers, problemen kan je enkel bij de wortel aanpakken!

Vade retro, Aircon! Exorcizamus te, spiritus refrigerationis! Depart from this triple-glazed window, thou unclean compressor! In Nomine Net Zero. The Power of EU Compliance Compels You! But seriously though: maartenboudry.substack.com/p/how-europe...

Laten we oude mensen maar gewoon doodgaan. Er zijn nog tevéél airco's in Nederland voor @ward.eurosky.social! Dat balkje met Europese hittedoden is nog niet hoog genoeg! Het "dor hout" moet immers gekapt worden! Dat ze zich maar opofferen ten behoeve van "toekomstige generaties".

Mijn overgrootmoeder zaliger over haar oudste dochter, mijn grootmoeder: "Het speet haar dat ze een meisje was en ze deed alle moeite om het te verdoezelen." Ik vraag me oprecht af wat er gebeurd zou zijn als ze anno 2026 was grootgebracht en toegang had gehad tot genderklinieken. t.co/0Vm0HdcLSZ

While the rest of us are melting in the summer heat, Winston Purrchill remains impeccably dressed in his tuxedo, suave as ever. #WinstonPurrchill

A grim day for the climate. Millions of pointless calculations. Untold kilos of CO₂ emissions. Gallons of precious water forever lost to server cooling. Desert ecosystems pushed to the brink. All so this boilerplate degrowther piece could exist.🥹 How could you, Piketty? We thought we knew you! 😜

De statistische analyse van de VRT-data door linguïst Freek Van de Velde geeft mij gelijk: mensen met roots in N-Afrika & Midden-Oosten (= 95% moslim) scoren "15% lager dan autochtone Belgen op gendertolerantie." . Precies wat ik beweerde: de VRT zat wél op data over herkomst, maar gaf ze niet vrij.

Amazing graph. One the best visualizations of human progress.

It took me about 2 years and 10 rejections to publish this paper, but now it's suddenly the Top Read article of the journal?🧐 I was about to put it through the paper shredder! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Last night I gave a talk in London for ICPG titled “A Spiral of Silence: How Academia Enforced Orthodoxy.” Fittingly enough, I was asked NOT to advertise my talk or disclose the venue. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the current state of academia — and of Western civilization more broadly.

Ik heb geen idee of het nog technisch haalbaar is om de 5 stilgelegde kernreactoren herop te starten (en welke precies), maar dat de Groene Kerk meteen met banbliksems zwaait, is een gunstig voorteken! De "groenste regering ooit" in ons land blijkt De Wever I, zonder groenen.

"We vergelijken laptops, zorgverzekeringen en energiecontracten tot in detail, om zelf de beste koop te kunnen doen. Maar als het gaat om geld dat bedoeld is om anderen te helpen, kiezen we vaak op basis van emotie, naamsbekendheid of geraffineerde marketing" Warm aanbevolen! archive.ph/qKP64
