Vrouwen die stellen helpen met hun kinderwens vergelijken met legbatterijen. In dezelfde maand dat de SGP abortuszorg een doodscultus noemt. Daarom extra belangrijk dat de Kamer vandaag voor mijn motie stemt, dat het kabinet oproept geen inperkingen op het recht en toegang tot abortus te doen.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Thomas Edsall takes up the debate over polarization in NYT, including my argument that what is often described as "polarization" is better understood as the asymmetric radicalization of the political right. Glad to see the paper entering this broader debate!

Opinion | ‘Polarization Is the Price U.S. Society Has Had to Pay for Real Progress’ (Gift Article)

A debate in the rarefied atmosphere of elite academia is virtually certain to have real-world consequences.

The US ambassador just gave Europe an ultimatum: "You're with us or against us." This is precisely why tech sovereignty isn't optional. Relying on foreign tech, like Starlink in Ukraine, leaves us vulnerable in a US-China power struggle. Europe must build its own. www.ft.com/content/d1e2...

De data van mensen in de EU gaan in de uitverkoop. 🇪🇺-landen willen privacyregels verder afzwakken. Dit is een diepe buiging voor Trump en Big Tech, die nu de champagne ontkurken. Als het aan EU landen ligt mogen ze eindelijk zonder toestemming data over jou gebruiken om hun AI-modellen te trainen🙃
