@DominiqueHeyde @NOS Bizar dat dit gepubliceerd mag worden, terwijl EU wijd de verkiezingen nog gaande zijn.

@Toerwoud @DassenLaurens Papieren rietjes zijn kut. Maar we hebben nu metalen thuis, en die werken prima.

@eurdraaitdoor Oef... mooie aflevering, maar Luyendijk gaat er inderdaad wel erg hard in. Hij maakt een aantal goede punten, maar gaat wat mij betreft te ver in zijn conclusies.

@c_peatfield @joelycett If she'd wear it, she'd instantly redeem herself in my eyes. That would be pure gold.

@wiebkoenes @chrisklomp @john_bumblebee Kunt u niet beter een boksbal kopen als uitlaatklep?

[André Somers 🇪🇺💜 @AndreSomers]

@jimmydijk Nope. Ik stem wel links, maar niet op een partij die zich altijd tegen de EU verzet heeft.

@HiddeMulder2 @rik_rutten Omdat je de regels waaraan je producten moeten voldoen binnen de EU uniform wil hebben, om zo weer handelsbeperkingen binnen de EU te voorkomen. Open markt, enzo.

[André Somers 🇪🇺💜 @AndreSomers]

@rik_rutten En dat zijn alleen nog maar de besparingen binnen Europa. Europese wetgeving werkt ook door tot ver buiten de grenzen van de EU, omdat het gewoon efficiënter is om minder verschillende producten te maken.

@RantyHighwayman @BicycleDutch Small consolation: you get to vote for your national elections to get rid of them. Unfortunately, we here just voted like-minded idiots in...

[André Somers 🇪🇺💜 @AndreSomers]

@BasEickhout I still think polls so close before the start of the election, as well as exit polls while there is still voting going on in other countries, should be illegal. Perhaps something to put on the agenda @BasEickhout

@meta_syntactic @D29625 @StrongTowns We used to almost always cycle to church...

@cbowe34 @StrongTowns How does the water drain though? It looks like there are solid concrete slaps under it?

@AmericanFietser The activities are different, even if they all use a bicycle to achieve it. In the same way that a car racing the Indy 500 or in F1, a pickup used on a farm and a small commuter car are all cars, but built for and used for different purposes.

[André Somers 🇪🇺💜 @AndreSomers]

@AmericanFietser Perhaps you need a distinction in your language, like we have in Dutch. Here, we recognize that a "fietser" (someone riding a bicycle) isn't the same as a "wielrenner" (someone "running" on wheels literally, so riding a fast bike for sports) or a "mountainbiker".

[André Somers 🇪🇺💜 @AndreSomers]

@AmericanFietser But awesome to see how one fully into driving can transition into being a powerful advocate for cycling, sustainable mobility and urbanism in general.

[André Somers 🇪🇺💜 @AndreSomers]

@AmericanFietser There is, IMO as a fietser, nothing wrong with driving the verhicles you did. They were the tools of your job at that time, and you used them as such. Fine.

What I *do* object to are the ever growing SUVs and even pickups now (in NL!) being driven as private cars everywhere.

@RocketTownLLC @Erdayastronaut @elonmusk Which one(s) is Tim's actually?

@Ladysophia1971 @SVZD1 @PieterOmtzigt De hand schudden van het staatshoofd is niet hetzelfde als een speech geven in het parlement...
