@Kath_74 @QueenyRaj Ik ben niet de minister, sorry. Woon ook al jaren niet meer in Nederland.

Ons asielsysteem is bedoeld om mensen op te vangen die onveilig zijn in eigen land.
Als de situatie verandert in dat land en mensen veilig terugkunnen, dan moet dat ook gebeuren.
Demissionair minister van Weel zet een belangrijke stap om grip te krijgen op migratie.

Van Weel: vanaf nu veel meer Syriërs terug naar Syrië ift.tt/GD32SIo

@BoonAdriana @Noasanne1 @frans_nijhof @CasparVeldkamp @NwSocContract @VVD Wat heb ik er mee te maken?
Nederlands
@Noasanne1 @frans_nijhof Ik vraag me ook af wie het uit kabinet hier ook achter zitten. @weel en/of @CasparVeldkamp
Is het weer de sabotage van @NwSocContract ? En wat is de rol van de @vvd?

Asielzoekers uit veilige landen, doorgaans illegaal in de EU, worden met hulp van gratis asieladvocaten beschermd door het EVRM, het Europees Verdrag voor de Rechten van de Mens. Veel rechten, weinig plichten. Italië en Denemarken eisen verandering. NL doet niet mee.

@agraybee there was a very effective advocate doing just that. she was harassed out of academia so hard she had to change her name.

I'm sorry but trans activists need to start making a proactive case for this, it isn't just going to turn around by itself.

According to a recent New York Times/Ipsos poll, Americans oppose allowing trans athletes to compete in women's sports by a margin of 79% to 18%. Self-identified Democrats also believe trans athletes should NOT be allowed to compete in women's sports — by a margin of 67% to 31%.

@ArmandDoma @MikeInacay That’s kinda the point. Like, it depends on what you want out of it. But I think if it’s hearing actually
interesting things from actually interesting people you may end up wanting something different than if you’re after, oh, say… Debate.

I feel like left wing twitter has just totally shriveled up on this website. feels like its 10% liberals fighting against a tidal wave of 90% right wingers nowadays

@peachyk8_ @OystersNoPearls @latayprime @q_u_i_m_ @pan_pan_pan1 @USArmy Trans women on HRT have unusually stable hormone levels. Take the same amount every day and you’re going to have… well, some fluctuations, sure, but nowhere near as much as you’d get from a menstrual cycle.
English
@OystersNoPearls @latayprime @q_u_i_m_ @pan_pan_pan1 @USArmy I also want to point out that that the average military woman will separate/retire prior to menopause. Every deployer has to be medically cleared too so during menopause their hormone surges/plunges may deem them non-deployable temporarily.

When AGI arrives and replaces all human work, there won't be human sports.
Instead of watching humans play basketball, we'll watch humanoid robots play basketball; robots will, after all, play better.
Similarly, robot jockeys will ride robot horses at the racetrack.

@ben_golub People have been predicting the death of cities and agglomeration externalities for so long and for so many reasons… I don’t buy it.
English
@gp_mihalache @ben_golub Having gone to grad school at a department with a bunch of them, I can fairly confidently assert the answer is probably “because there’s math in it.”
English
The thing YIMBYs need to understand is that poor people are, on average, worse neighbors, which is why the middle class and rich will always fight the construction of low-income housing in their neighborhoods. You cannot talk them out of this rational preference.

@andymikhailovic And sunflower oil
is nice high quality stuff. High enough smoke point for frying things but also it’s tasty and doesn’t go rancid fast and can be used for things like salads. Not many oils like that. People should cut out the orthorexic blather IMHO.
English
Do not trust a finance bro who does not understand the importance of sunflower oil as a key commodity that a lot of global stability rests on. The price shocks in 2022 were no joke. Sveta is making TikToks in Dubai because Papa speculates on that, not shitcoins.
English
The idea that “Slavic women” or women in most of Europe being seed oil free is genuinely the most absurd mixture of two grifts coming together for me. CEE is sunflower oil HQ. Every baddie is 30% sunflower oil. Please shut up.

She tries so hard. This is one of the most tortured WW2 history takes I’ve ever seen, and it is a crowded field

@Skyline26441709 @funnyhorse @dalewalter_real @GoBrightline Double gates require extra tricks to make sure people in the crossing when the gates come down aren’t trapped. Probably easier to just put a center median so people can’t get around the half gate. Here’s a very simple one in California.
English
From the Brightline Safety and Security Team: Railroad safety is a community wide effort. For everyone’s safety, never drive around crossing gates when they are down.
English
@funnyhorse @GoBrightline They don’t do that because people already in the crossing when the gates come down have to be able to clear out and not get trapped by the gates. But what they could do is put a small center median to prevent people going around the gate.
English
@GoBrightline Gates should have arms on both sides of the road, so this isn’t possible.

@ArmandDoma I personally would prefer not to be anywhere near Buck Angel but that’s because he’s a transphobic asshole, not because he’s trans…

Look, I genuinely don’t care who is in the bathroom with me, but the law you’re proposing says the person on the left should use the women’s bathroom and the person on the right should use the men’s bathroom
Nancy Mace@NancyMace
insane to expect women to make men comfortable in our own private spaces.
English
@dataandpolitics Oh, sure, and I know that, but… well basically i have zero useful intuition for how people process that, you’re probably right.
