Voor de Nederlandssprekenden: lees het fantastische boek Het Lijk Van De Dictator over de fascistische obsessie met de corpus (cc @jobpolak.eurosky.social)

Daniel Harper@danielharper.bsky.social · 3d ago

The lib "he's obsessed with men's bodies, so he must be gay as hell" is homophobic, of course, and utterly cringe, but also just misses the point. Hegseth may or may not be gay. I'm not here to say. But his obsession with the male physique is because he's just a fascist.

Als je goed kijkt zie je dat er ook echt geen hond is. Dit is maar een heel klein blokje van het Jaarbeursplein. Deze lui vertegenwoordigen niemand, ze schreeuwen alleen voor zichzelf.

Volgens de Belg Dries van Langenhove horen Roma en Sinti niet in Nederland.

Nice reminder that Ceuta is not "in" Europe, it is on the North African coast. Its history and connections to mainland Spain are complicated, but Von der Liar glosses over all of that to score a cheap point against migrants.

Alberto Alemanno@alemanno.bsky.social · 6d ago

The Commission President expresses NO solidarity with Spain or the thousands of people affected in Ceuta. Nor does she call on other EU Member States to support Spain in managing what is a European border. No rebuke to Italy and Finland threatening to ‘suspend’ Spain from Schengen. That’s illegal

Ok wie moet even een klasje rechtsgeschiedenis komen volgen?

Leuk stukje maar laat onvermeld dat Hugo de Groot het zeerecht formuleerde in opdracht van de VOC met als bedoeling de VOC zoveel mogelijk geld te laten verdienen fd.nl/opinie/16057...

all sides would stop arguing about Christopher Nolan movies if they accept my thesis: he is the power metal of cinema. Nolan's deal is taking incredibly stupid but larger than life stories too seriously while applying really good technique.

We're all forgetting the 11th commandment of FIFA, thou shalt not defeat Messi

Yeah that should have been a second red, for Paredes. But I guess even with this (arguably much better) referee the rules favor Argentina.

Apart from the kids this may have been the worst thing I have ever seen. A proper vision into hell.

I don't think Jim Henson would have signed off on this

Awesome, waking a top athlete at 2 AM before a major mountain stage, and then not properly marking road furniture on the descent. Hope you're happy now, ASO. #tdf #tdf2026

Who is doing the interfering?

As host nation and State Party, the Netherlands stands behind the International Criminal Court and its staff. International courts must be able to carry out their mandate without interference.

Tough choice between Event Horizon and In The Mouth Of Madness - double descent into insanity.

Quote post with your favourite Sam Neill (that isn't Jurassic Park). In the underrated DEAD CALM, his character's quiet restraint and ingenuity perfectly balances Billy Zane's unhinged psychopath.

True but if anyone speaks I'll of Sam Neill I'm going to go all Event Horizon on you

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

You may not care about cycling, you may in fact actively hate cycling. But you will never hate cycling as much as the UCI does. #TDF #TDF2026

Free thesis advice: a narrow, case specific research question(almost) always produces a better end product than a large, abstract and ambitious research question. Ask me how I know.

Pro cycling is getting really, really shit. #tourdefrance #tdf2026

Not now, ADHD brain, I've got theses to assess. Go be flakey some other time.

De Internationale Klimbond stemt op 23 juli over een schorsing van de Israëlische Klimfederatie. Die zet klimtrajecten uit op de Westelijke Jordaanoever, waar Israël Palestijnse klimmers weert, en is verweven met het Israëlische bezettingsleger.

Fun fact: Fear and Misery in England was the original title of Wuthering Heights

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · last mo.

really cool going from the 2010 World Cup, where Ghana’s little run seemed like a magical anomaly, to a bunch of African teams contending across the bracket and participating in the global pastime of causing fear and misery in England.

Well yes, and also no

My aversion to generative AI in (academic) writing should be pretty clear by now, but I also have an increasingly large bone to pick with Grammarly and other editing software. I have yet to see a text that is meaningfully improved by putting it through Grammarly, and I have seen lots that got worse.

And when is the actual ättestupa? 🇸🇪👴🔨🐻
