Hier lopen 2 problemen door elkaar. De gebrekkige kennis van vrouwenlijven en de onwil hun klachten serieus te nemen. Maar ook de halsstarrige neiging om alles waarbij psyche, hersenen of stresssysteem betrokken zouden kunnen zijn, onder de noemer ‘gek’ te schuiven. Draadje: 1/8

@AnilvanderZee Kwam laatst iemand met LC tegen die daarop kon antwoorden 'I'm a yoga instructor' - god wat moet dat lekker voelen.

Have you tried yoga for long‑COVID?”Yes. Science did (again? Why FFS!!). It did NOTHING. Yoga does not cure #longCOVID. But it does cure people telling me to try yoga. Namaste anyways. PS: they'll probably keep trying as this was feasibility study... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@NielsHonkoop Oh I wish this were true, but apparently you've never seen Dutchies go wild about this in online comments. Impressively annoying.

I am Dutch and I can tell yall that most of us are too impatient to bother and will tell you we're "from Holland" for our own convenience.

I remember the first piece of advice I got on briefing President Trump in 2017: He doesn’t read. Bring pictures. Only try to impress ONE thing on him. And if there has to be words, single page only.

@PhillipsPOBrien No he wouldn't and we've known that for a year..?

Europeans might ask themselves this question. If Trump does not care about Putin helping the Iranians to kill Americans, do you think he will care at all about Putin trying to kill Europeans?

@AriFleischer Oh sweetheart. Any country sharing a border with Russia currently hates the US.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@KHostages @AriFleischer It speaks volumes of your intellect that you think Poland, the Baltics, the Nordics - countries directly threatened by your unwillingness to stand up to Putin - would have ány interest in doing business with the US for decades to come.

We should do two things, three actually: withdraw from NATO after creating a new military alliance with Eastern European nations (Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, maybe Moldova, plus Finland, Sweden, and maybe Norway). Lastly, remove all aid and military cooperation with France, Spain, and England.

@Koelewi06043383 @ArminiusTiwaz @wierdduk @vandaaginside LC en ME zijn ook niet te onderscheiden, en die ziekte bestaat al decennia. Postvirale syndromen zijn niets nieuws, denk bv ook aan Q-koorts. Geen vaccins gebruikt daar.

@ArminiusTiwaz @wierdduk @vandaaginside Velen ( tegen de 100%) zijn nadat ze de ziekte hadden doorstaan alsnog gevaccineerd. Dat was een grove fout. Long covid en vaccinatieschade zijn qua ziekteverschijnselen niet van elkaar te onderscheiden. Vaccinatieschade wordt officieel niet erkend.

Bijzonder veel reacties gekregen nav. mijn oproep bij @vandaaginside om Nederlanders die lijden aan long covid niet te vergeten. Deze groep van 500k patiënten, van wie er 100k zeer ernstig aan toe zijn, is deel van onze samenleving, die is gebaseerd op onderlinge solidariteit, en mag niet in de steek worden gelaten. Helaas: terwijl dit kabinet miljoenen weggeeft aan UNRWA en andere - ook omstreden - buitenlandse instellingen, wordt de financiering van wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar dit afgrijselijk invaliderende syndoom gestopt en klinieken gesloten. Dat is moreel niet te rechtvaardigen:

@zarathustra_sui @timecaptales And I do agree there are limits to that - the stuff my niece wants to read just one more chapter of - well the reading is a win, but oy ;) But to put Potter on that list is just nonsense.

@__Sabs @timecaptales Same, currently reading them to my kids. We are on book 4. What started out as, “are we seriously going to read all of this?” has turned into, “can we read just one more chapter before bed?” Mission accomplished!

In the summer of 2000, as the Harry Potter series was quickly becoming a global sensation, legendary Yale critic Harold Bloom gave one of his most unpopular takes, calling 35 million readers wrong

@zarathustra_sui @timecaptales I still enjoy them. And the last two books I read (and loved) were Booker short listers. It gets soooo much worse than Potter. People just like to feel edgy.

I had no interest in reading as a kid until I read Harry Potter. It helped me develop a love for reading, now as an adult I read prolifically. We all have to start somewhere and it doesn’t have to be in the depths of great literature; you can start in the shallow end and work your way into deep waters.

@ChrisAalberts Nog los van het plaatje - kan me niet herinneren dat iemand me ooit een gezegende Goede Vrijdag gewenst heeft.

Ik ben zo benieuwd hoe christenen dit zien. #kuch #FvD

An American woman called Eunice Foote was the first person to say in print in a respected scientific journal that if carbon dioxide levels rise, the planet warms The year was 1856

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating. Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT. The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work. dworkinsubstack.com/p/shut-it-down…

Has POLITICO run out of ideas or something?

De regering-Trump heeft met 27 landen in Afrika en Z-Amerika zorgdeals gesloten. In ruil voor hulp krijgt Amerika (exclusief) toegang tot data over nieuwe virus-uitbraken. Voor Amerikaanse farmaceuten is dat een goudmijn, voor de wereld een groot probleem volkskrant.nl/buitenland/vs-…

I know it's boring and repetitive to talk about how grossly evil Trump is, but the fact remains: Trump is grossly evil, in a way that's pretty much unprecedented in this country.

When mail-in voting is limited or eliminated, then selected polling stations are closed or surrounded with "security checks", when poll workers are replaced by ICE "for security", when ballots are confiscated for "fraud", maybe you’ll take it seriously. Too late.

@JoTrader4 @CuriosityonX This same organisation is also focussing on intercepting plastic from rivers in the most poluting countries. We need both, same as we also need the carbon tax.

@CuriosityonX It’s a great pipe dream and it’s helps but India produces 10B kgs of waste and much of it ends up in the ocean. No worries tho Canada is increasing its carbon tax so that will fix it all.

This is incredible. This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic. It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

@TheStackAtlas @CuriosityonX And you add a picture of a system preventing plastic to enter the ocean desigbed by the same organisation that cleans up the ocean. All these things are necessary.

@CuriosityonX ~80% of ocean plastic comes from rivers. Meaning the real leverage isn’t in the ocean… It’s in waste systems on land. Still… the fact that we’re building machines to clean an entire ocean might be the most human thing ever. — @TheStackAtlas

@Poooo000oooP @CuriosityonX Ocean Clean-up actually does both. Look up their interceptors. Really solid organisation.

@CuriosityonX This is a massive waste of money. It would be much more cost effective to figure out how to get third world countries to stop using their rivers as garbage chutes.
