Voorburger

Het leven als #Voorburger is prachtig.

@SimoneLaurey @ferry_maat Ja, daar zijn er genoeg van. 😉 Ben jij er ook een?

@_Voorburger @ferry_maat Hey, een Voorburger!

Dat is Meret Schneider, vegan activist en Zwitserse politicus. Ze is 33..... Proteïnen, Meret. En meer naar buiten. En minder links, helpt ook.

@historyrock_ Nice.

@ferry_maat @SimoneLaurey Maar Ferry toch…, in het schemerlicht slaan vampiers juist toe!

@SimoneLaurey Doe asjeblieft het licht uit😩

@DenHaagFM @RicharddeMos Uhm… hij was éérst Voorburger.

Nieuw icoon voor Den Haag? 'Wat Erasmus is voor Rotterdam, moet Spinoza voor ons worden' denhaagfm.nl/dhfm/5065669/n…

@wouter_rws @Vincentgdevlugt Praktisch ernaast.

@_Voorburger @Vincentgdevlugt Jij woont in het winkelcentrum?

Bij het verlaten van de Westfield Mall stonden er nog genoeg auto’s waar ze niet hoorden te staan. Wij hebben op het dak geparkeerd waar genoeg plek was. Wat een verpauperende boel daar. De winkels zijn best mooi, maar de beleving wordt teniet gedaan door veel onbeschoft publiek

@bt_bazinga @Vincentgdevlugt Klopt. BLIJF WEG

@Vincentgdevlugt Zo erg? Dus geen niet waard om een keer te gaan.

@wouter_rws @Vincentgdevlugt Dat is bij mij voor de deur. Gatverdamme.

@Vincentgdevlugt Is echt ongelofelijk nietwaar? Ook de parkeerplaatsen buiten hebben dit. Maar liever daar dan bij mij voor de deur...

@La_Sagnette @omalenny @Vincentgdevlugt Nee. BLIJF IN GODSNAAM WEG

@omalenny @Vincentgdevlugt Dan is het voor 3 wijzen de reis uit het oosten dus niet waard om hen daar met een bezoek te vereren?

@cevitam @Vincentgdevlugt Klopt. BLIJF WEG.

@Vincentgdevlugt Die hele mall klinkt als de laatste plek waar je wil zijn...

@RicharddeMos @RodiDenHaag Voorburg ook!

Mijn nieuwe column in het Haagse huis-aan-huis krant @RodiDenHaag: Te weinig agenten, te weinig leraren, te weinig huizen, genoeg is genoeg. Den Haag verdient beter! 💛💚 #hartvoordenhaag #ennudemos #gemeenteraadsverkiezingen2026

@francisjfoster My grandfather stood up to the Nazis. He left his native Holland to join the free French Africa Corps as a volunteer to become a commando to kill Nazis. I don’t say that I would’ve, but I might have done something similar if I were in his shoes, back then. I hate Nazis.

Maybe you’re not as brave as you think…

@lobur57 Om wakker te worden moet je eerst wakker zijn geweest. Deze vetgemeste, wereldvreemde generatie van beroepspoliticizonder historisch besef die haar hele leven al in een droomwereld leeft, slaapt door. Ook al gaat het alarm af. 🚨🚨

Wanneer wordt de politiek en links eindelijk wakker?

@the_culturist_ Perhaps Tolkien just disliked the book. Hate is something too extreme and hyperbolic.

Tolkien hated Frank Herbert's Dune — but why? In an unsent letter, he said he disliked Dune "with some intensity", but didn't explain his reasoning. However, it's clear that The Lord of the Rings is a profoundly different take on good and evil, and how to live a moral life… On the surface, it's a puzzling statement. Dune is a sweeping myth of prophecy and power, a richly built world with its own languages, genealogies, and histories. In many regards, it's a natural cousin of The Lord of the Rings — a saga of destiny and leadership set against the fall of civilizations. But Dune represented something else entirely. It proposed a vision of morality that felt dangerous — a world in which might makes right, and moral clarity is sacrificed for pragmatic ends. Dune's protagonists are directly opposed to the heroes of Middle-earth. Dune, GoT, and other modern fantasies adhere to the idea that good and bad actions are defined by their consequences — their characters are pragmatists, choosing the lesser of evils to forge a path they deem is good. So, moral decisions shift with context. Paul Atreides' choices assume the ends justify the means, unleashing jihad (albeit reluctantly) that will later kill billions in order to secure humanity’s future. These protagonists are Nietzschean in the sense that they forge their own moral framework, embracing will to power without divine authority — they thrive entirely by their own strength. Tolkien, however, was a deontologist: actions are right or wrong based on their inherent nature, not outcomes. Frodo's quest is inherently right because it resists evil, not because it's guaranteed to succeed: "I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way." Tolkien's protagonists act not through will to power, but through duty, in submission to a higher plan. And this moral vision runs deep throughout Middle-earth, because it's a deeply religious story.

@Saganismm This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. I will never forget these wise words. ✨

Every one of your hundred trillion cells contains a complete library of instructions on how to make every part of you. Every cell in your body arises by successive cell divisions from a single cell, a fertilized egg generated by your parents. Every time that cell divided, in the many embryological steps that went into making you, the original set of genetic instructions was duplicated with great fidelity. So your liver cells have some unemployed knowledge about how to make your bone cells, and vice versa. The genetic library contains everything your body knows how to do on its own. The ancient information is written in exhaustive, careful, redundant detail - how to laugh, how to sneeze, how to walk, how to recognize patterns, how to reproduce, how to digest an apple. Eating an apple is an immensely complicated process. In fact, if I had to synthesize my own enzymes, if I consciously had to remember and direct all the chemical steps required to get energy out of food, I would probably starve. But even bacteria do anaerobic glycolysis, which is why apples rot: lunchtime for the microbes. They and we and all creatures in between possess many similar genetic instructions. Our separate gene libraries have many pages in common, another reminder of our common evolutionary heritage. Our technology can duplicate only a tiny fraction of the intricate biochemistry that our bodies effortlessly perform: we have only just begun to study these processes. Evolution, however, has had billions of years of practice. DNA knows. - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

@ADODenHaag Wat een ongelooflijk leuk filmpje!
