Zijn er eigenlijk andere redenen om naar Madagascar te gaan dan het bekijken van Renault 4’s?

@PaliparanDotCom Im surprised they don’t fly from Linate

Flying home with Air France from Milan Malpensa Airport. It certainly doesn't rank among Europe's best airports – its sheer distance from the city is already a big negative, and that's not even talking how outdated it feels – but you can't beat the fantastic backdrop of the Alps.

Live long and prosper! 🖖🏻

@DuRechts @NoContextDutch1 Olifantenvlees is ook erg taai. Ik snap wel dat t zo goedkoop is.

@VrijndeSteede Met stijgende energieprijzen zou AI nog best weleens duurder kunnen zijn dan een kantoorlaaf 😬

De (productie)industrie die het al jaren zwaar heeft door de energieprijzen gaat heel snel kapot zo. En we maken al zo weinig zelf. Ons land zit vol met kantoorpersoneel met marketeers en andere functies die in rap tempo door AI gaan worden overgenomen. Ziet er slecht uit.

Een historische sensatie! Oog in oog met dit eeuwenoude manuscript op de tentoonstelling #Birds in @mauritshuis Hebban olla vogala nestas hagunnan hinase hic anda thu. Wat unbidan we nu? Alle vogels ziin begonnen nesten te bouwen, behalve ik en jij. Waar wachten we nog op?

Tevens goed nieuws voor @ministerBHOS?

On March 8, 1979, Philips unveiled the optical digital audio disc, otherwise known as a compact disc.

Two headlines, same day. The Trump administration is an embarrassment.

@MvanDusseldorp @SchipholWatch @vincentkar Ryanair ziet niets liever dat de KLM failliet gaat zodat ze zelf de slots kunnen overnemen. Dat SchipholWatch dat niet door heeft geeft wel aan hoe kortzichtig ze zijn.

Prachtig - @SchipholWatch die het gaat opnemen voor de allergrootste kiloknaller van Europa, vervoeren 8 keer (!!) meer passagiers dan KLM per jaar (250 mln vs 33 mln) - het gaat hen helemaal niet om de overlast. Dat ik dit nog mag meemaken. Het leven is prachtig @vincentkar

1/4 Exactly 12 years ago, Russia began the active phase of the conflict and occupation in Donbas, including in my Luhansk. In this thread I’ll describe the situation in Luhansk at the time and share my own observations from those days. On March 1, 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously approved Putin’s request for permission to use armed forces on Ukrainian territory. Though honestly, it was just a formality - Russian troops were already actively involved in the annexation of Crimea by then. That same day, a series of carefully organized rallies took place in many cities. In Luhansk, for the first time in my memory, there were Russian flags everywhere. It was obvious that locals weren’t keeping them at home - at least I didn’t know a single person who did. This, along with many other small details, created an overwhelming feeling of artificiality and fakery. Not everyone there was actually from Luhansk. People were bused in an organized way from towns and villages all over the Luhansk region. And Russian “tourists” were also involved. We started noticing far more buses and cars with Russian license plates. All of this was meant to create the illusion of a massive popular uprising. The photo shows one of the attacks by Russian "tourists" and local collaborators on Ukrainians in Luhansk.

That post from Ursula von der Leyen is getting quite a bit of attention on social media. It's mostly people poking fun at Europeans for not wanting to work at weekends (often from self-loathing Europeans). But seriously – what are Europeans supposed to say? The US and Israel have launched an attack on Iran. An attack that in no way adheres to international rules. And the Europeans were not consulted in the slightest. In Europe, we have a war – Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. That should be our focus. The US has demonstrated time and again that it has no respect for Europe. So why should we even have any opinion on this whatsoever? Europe's view of the Iranian regime is crystal clear and always has been. That hasn't changed – and everyone ought to know it. Foreign policy is not conducted on social media – and it is exceedingly rare that a decades-long problem can be fixed with missiles over a weekend. It has never happened. It is therefore completely irrelevant what the Europeans might have to say in the middle of an attack whose outcome nobody can predict. So yes, it is perfectly reasonable to announce that we in the EU will meet on Monday – and yes, there has undoubtedly been a great deal of inter-European communication in the run-up to this attack and over the weekend, but political decisions are simply best taken when proper procedures are followed and a strategy is put in place. Trump may well believe that problems are solved with bombs and idiotic pronouncements on social media, but day by day the long-term costs of this behaviour are mounting – geopolitically and economically. And yes, when the time comes to clean up after Trump's mess, I rather suspect the Americans will come expecting the Europeans to muck in with the clean-up. That'll be a no from us.

A helpful map for those predicting an inevitable Russian victory — Ukraine now controls significantly more territory than in June 2022, a time point already after the Russian defeat near Kyiv and in Chernihiv and Sumy.
