Beste @progressiefned.bsky.social, waarom AI slop in de video? Graag verwijderen en niet meer gebruiken. De gebruikte technologie is anti-sociaal, anti-democratisch, vervuilend, en technofascistisch. Is dat wat @progressiefned.bsky.social wil uitstralen? Dan niet mijn steun!

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

Vast een mooi boek hoor, @nrc.nl. Maar had @rosanhollak.bsky.social niet eenmaal kunnen benoemen dat deze groep vrouwen niet de hele categorie VROUWEN representeert? Dat er meer 'duister' is dan de regimes van Stalin of Hitler? En dat er ook vrouwelijke filosofen van kleur bestaan? #Eurocentrisme

The EU places the Iranian Revolutionary Guard on the list of terrorist organisations, with Hamas, Isis and al-Qaida. Italy allows ICE to be security during the Olympics. They are all violent, ideology driven forces. Just one of them is not muslim 🤔 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Think of AI instead of cigarettes here. Nothing is inevitable.

Ik kan moeilijk verdragen dat we in een land leven waar links wordt verketterd en gecriminaliseerd, terwijl men zich gretig stort op het smeden van ongure coalities die desastreus uitpakken voor grote groepen en daarmee ondermijnend zijn voor de democratische rechtsstaat.

Ondanks lage verwachtingen toch teleurgesteld door @robjetten.bsky.social en Bontenbal: ze gaan over rechts. De VVD wordt beloond voor kinderachtig, egocentrisch gedrag. Laat je stem horen tegen de normalisering van extreem-rechts en teken: campagnes.degoedezaak.org/campaigns/ge...
