"When Amazon ran a “counter-sale” last year during Independent Bookstore Day — an annual event that takes place the last Saturday of April — the move backfired. The giant triggered a wave of support for independent bookstores that gave many their biggest day of sales — ever. People are more aware now that how and where they spend money is powerful. Booksellers see that up close."
De intensieve veehouderij in Nederland veroorzaakt jaarlijks minstens 9 miljard euro schade aan gezondheid en het milieu. Dat is meer dan eerder berekend. Deze kosten komen niet terecht bij de veehouders, maar bij de samenleving, dat constateert econoom Max van der Sleen in een maatschappelijke kosten-batenanalyse voor de milieugroep MOB (Mobilisation for the Environmen), en schrijft het FD over.

Israel is not a race.
Condemning genocidists isn’t discrimination. Israel’s apartheid regime is discrimination.
Israelis are settler colonialists. That’s not a slur, it’s a fact.
No one is committing genocide against Israelis. The only people committing genocide are the Israelis.

Premier Jetten schijnt op sociale media (volgens NOS) geschreven te hebben: "in een democratie is geweld nooit de oplossing, verschil van mening los je op met woorden".
Echt joh? Heb je daar ooit moeite voor gedaan? Om landen en leiders die dit principe dagelijks verkrachten, tot de orde te roepen? Weet je nog van die Rode Lijn? Wat ben je in vredesnaam aan het doen???
the thing about “never attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence” is that it’s rat-fuckable
when there is functionally no difference between the two, engaging with someone as if they’re incompetent means accepting their frame, that what they’re ultimately trying to accomplish isn’t *bad*, they’re just going about it in a way with bad side-effects, and people use in bad-faith our good-faith willingness to treat them as incompetent to push their agendas
engaging with someone as if they’re malicious, on the other hand, means rejecting the harmful frame, recasting the argument in terms of “why are you trying to do this bad thing?”, and not quibbling about the details of why the thing is bad
these age-verification laws whose implementations are a form of category error is a good example; if you engage with a proponent of them with “well here’s why your implementation is bad” you’re tacitly approving the larger idea that surveliance is good, and you just disagree with the techniques; bad-faith actors use this
If instead you come back with “why are you trying to surveil everyone’s computer use? Why are you laying the groundwork to prevent people from using their own computers?”, you re-cast the frame. Sure, there are probably incompetent people who don’t realize the results of what they’re going to do, but casting the larger idea into question AND KEEPING IT IN QUESTION is the only effective path I’ve found to debating people on things like this
so, instead:
don’t ascribe to incompetence something that is functionally malicious

Light для добірки #bonkwave Four Seasons було зроблено пару місяців тому після двох тижнів блекаутів унаслідок російських атак на ТЕЦ-6. Якщо точніше, виклав біт із семплів челенджу, коли нарешті вночі ввімкнули електрику на дві години, й устиг надіслати його за десять хвилин до дедлайну прийняття композицій. #openmpt #lofi #boombap #hiphop #beat

That was the last of my unreleased tracks.
After releasing 3 videos, 2 bonkwave tracks and an album this year alone, I am now officially taking a break.

Malmö Järnhandel is a small independent iron monger that has been in the city center for the last fifteen years. The store was known for its "tool pool", you can go there to borrow any kind of power tool for free! The owners are retiring and have put the shop up for sale. A group is now raising funds to take it over run it as a co-operative to make sure this type of store and the tool pool can remain part of the community!

Fotojournalist aangehouden tijdens Extinction Rebellion-demonstratie op A12 - 112 Nederland #XR #extinction
De @POL_Nederland kreeg van hoger hand door dat ik demonstrant ben. 🙅♀️
Politie plukt wat #fotojournalisten weg bij het slijpen vangrail en stalen buizen met handen erin, nerveuze agenten.
Vertrouwen in de overheid begint bij eerlijke keuzes. Dus geen belastinggeld naar fossiele subsidies en grootvervuilers terwijl mensen hun boodschappen niet meer kunnen betalen 🤷♀️

🎶 I have 2 new tracks out on the new #BonkWave community release named Autumn Waves, so check it out!
💿It's a triple album release full of great music by (mostly) fedi artists.
I wrote about it here:
Toe aan een nieuwe mobiele telefoon en aan het wikken en wegen welke? Daarbij privacy en security in ogenschouw nemend. Ga je dan voor een Android systeem met microG (zoals bv /e/OS, iodéOS) of kies je voor "sandboxed" Google (zoals in GrapheneOS) ? Een afweging die je zelf zult moeten maken. Kom zaterdag 9 mei naar de Landelijke Bijeenkomst van de NLLGG in Utrecht. Met sessies over GrapheneOS en vergelijk met /e/OS. Of mainline linux op de mobiel? UBPorts is er ook weer. https://nllgg.nl/event/landelijke-bijeenkomst-9-mei-2026/
I had a partner years ago who used to tell me that their goal was to have slightly more than enough, so they could afford to be generous.
Their wisdom stuck with me far after we parted ways.
