'Mag jouw vrouw met andere mannen gaan paddelen?'
De uitspraken uit de podcast The Real Talk zorgen voor discussie. Verslaggever @jasminevandijk_ ging langs bij de makers en vroeg door: waar ligt de grens tussen cultuur, persoonlijke keuze en ongelijkheid tussen mannen en vrouwen?

Guardate la foto di questo post. È presa dal Museo Egizio di Torino, e raffigura una statua creata con la granodiorite. Cosa c’è di strano? La granodiorite è una roccia composta principalmente da quarzo con l’aggiunta di altri materiali. Il quarzo, con durezza 7 sulla scala di Mohs, rende la granodiorite di una durezza estrema. La granodiorite è molto più dura dell’acciaio normale, che raggiunge un grado di durezza di 4,5, e molto più dura del marmo, che raggiunge il valore di durezza di 3,4. Come lavoriamo oggi la granodiorite: usiamo machine con punte di diamante, taglio con getto d’acqua fino a 6.000 atmosfere, o in alcuni laser ad alta Potenza. Nonostante questi mezzi tecnologici, la granodiorite resta una roccia dura da lavorare, per nulla semplice.
Stupisce vedere come nel periodo più antico degli Egizi, l’Antico Regno, di circa 5.000 anni fa, erano presenti statue lavorate di granodiorite lavorate in maniera estremamente precisa. Nella foto proveniente dal Museo Egizio potete Vedere I dettagli dei riccioli, a centinaia, realizzati tutti uguali e tutti precisi, come se fossero stati creati da una macchina. Addirittura, sul petto ci sono degli alto-rilievi a forma di stella. Questo vuol dire che tutta la roccia attorno alle stelle del petto è stata “asportata” in maniera chirurgica per mettere in altorilievo le decorazioni del petto.
Nessuno ha mai trovato gli attrezzi, che dovevano essere come minimo di ferro, per realizzare queste meraviglie di precisione. Alcuni studiosi hanno analizzato al microscopio alcune di queste statue, e hanno notato che non ci sono i segni degli scalpelli. Sembrerebbe che siano stati scolpiti “ad acqua”, ma questa è una tecnologia moderna che gli Egizi non potevano avere. Per questo secondo diversi studiosi la possibilità che gli Egizi abbiamo semplicemente “trovato” queste statue, e hanno poi cercato di imitarle con la roccia che loro erano in grado di lavorare, il calcare, viene sempre più presa in considerazione. Ma chi era questo popolo che, vicino all’Egitto, già 5.000 anni fa, era in grado di lavorare in maniera artistica la granodiorite?

Putin: "One line of Nord Stream 2 is still intact. We could start supplying gas to Germany tomorrow – just push a button. The only obstacle is a political decision by the German government.

I was surprised to hear that Russia, this 'evil Russia', stopped supplying gas to Europe. We never stopped. Europe said no, hoping Russia would collapse. We didn't."

Ironic, isn't it. They thought they'd set the trap for us, but walked into it themselves.

Dit land is zo, zó ontzettend kapot:

“Miljarden worden lukraak uitgegeven aan nieuwkomers, mensen die niets voor dit land betekend hebben. En voor miljarden wordt er lukraak gesneden in de zorg aan onze ouderen, terwijl zij ons mooie land hebben opgebouwd. Het is schandalig.

Wekelijks belanden er verwaarloosde ouderen in het ziekenhuis, onderkoeld of soms in hun eigen ontlasting.

Onze ouderen huilen letterlijk om het eten wat ze voorgeschoteld krijgen, terwijl asielzoekers dagelijks getrakteerd worden op een lopend buffetje.” - Tamara ten Hove, DNA/Groep Markuszower

Het is gekmakend!

The world just built a machine that drinks clean water like a river.

And nobody is talking about what that actually means.

🚨 🚨 🚨 AI DATA CENTERS WILL CONSUME ENOUGH CLEAN WATER TO SUPPLY 1.3 BILLION PEOPLE BY 2030 — PER A UNITED NATIONS REPORT 🚨 🚨 🚨

A United Nations report just put a number on it. Not a vague warning. Not a projection buried in a footnote. A hard figure: AI data centers will consume enough freshwater to supply 1.3 billion people annually by 2030. That is not a typo. One sector. One cooling system. 1.3 BILLION people's worth of water.

THE WEAPON:
→ Global data center water consumption: 560 billion liters per year right now
→ Projected consumption by 2030: 1,200 billion liters (IEA)
→ US AI data centers alone: 17 billion gallons consumed in 2023
→ US projection by 2028: 38–73 billion gallons annually
→ Single large facility withdrawal: up to 5 million gallons per day — the daily need of a city of 50,000 people
→ Evaporative cooling rate: ~80% of withdrawn water evaporates and is NEVER returned
→ Per-query footprint: every 100-word AI prompt consumes roughly one 16.9 oz bottle of water
→ Indirect footprint: electricity generation adds another 60% on top of direct consumption

THE TARGET:
→ Phoenix region alone: data center water use projected to rise 870% — from 385 million to 3.7 billion gallons per year
→ Google's Council Bluffs facility: 3.9 million gallons withdrawn daily, on average
→ Hyperscale facilities expected to account for half of all future US AI water consumption

THE MATH:
→ 2021 US data center baseline: 163.7 billion gallons annually
→ Five years of AI acceleration later: 300%+ growth for key operators
→ By 2030: one sector's cooling needs rival or exceed the municipal water supply of entire countries
→ 1.3 billion people. That is the population of Africa. That is more than the entire Western Hemisphere.

Read that again.

💀 There are currently 2 billion people on Earth without reliable access to clean water
💀 AI infrastructure is being built fastest in water-stressed regions — Phoenix, the American Southwest, the Middle East
💀 Once evaporated, that water does not come back — it is not recycled, it is not returned to the aquifer, it is gone

⚠️ The world is already withdrawing freshwater faster than it is being replenished
⚠️ Agriculture uses 70–80% of global freshwater — AI is now the fastest-growing new competitor for what remains
⚠️ This is not a future problem. 560 billion liters are being consumed right now, today, this year.

They're showing you the AI boom.

They're NOT showing you what is being drained to power it — the aquifers that took thousands of years to fill, the rivers already running low, the municipal systems already competing with server farms for the same water table.

You don't build a machine that evaporates 80% of everything it drinks in a water-stressed world and call it progress. You don't scale that machine by 300% in five years and assume the water will keep showing up. You do that when you have decided, consciously or not, that the output is worth more than the resource that keeps 8 billion people alive.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

Has anyone ever explained what these AI Data centres are actually for ?
You are the data

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption.

These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure.

▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons.

▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around ‌the ⁠same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total.

▪️The rise of AI is accelerating this trend. The UK Government's Compute Roadmap notes that AI data centres can devote up to 40% of their energy consumption to cooling systems.

▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth.

▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect.

Numerous campaigns against these data centres are being organised by local communities. No one voted for this. If you are involved in any of these local campaigns, please DM me and I’ll try and help you amplify your campaigns.

Amazon is building an $11 billion AI data campus in Indiana.

It’ll use as much electricity as roughly 1 MILLION homes.

And about 300 million gallons of water every year.

That’s just ONE facility.

We weten inmiddels dat Covid een internationaal georganiseerde Plandemie is (Epstein files).

We begrijpen ook dat daar een enorme potente organisatie achter zit en dat de aandeelhouders van het farma kartel een miljarden belang hebben dat het narratief "dat virussen bestaan" voor het zekerstellen van toekomstige winsten in stand blijft.

Voor het voorkomen van faillissement veroorzakende juridische aansprakelijkheid van het farmakartel, is het noodzakelijk dat alle
" enquête commissies " zich allemaal strikt aan hetzelfde ongeloofwaardige en onjuiste officiële narratief houden.

Daarom mogen de Nederlandse leden van de Enquête commissie niet zelf bronnen onderzoek doen in de documenten betreffende Covid, noch ten aanzien van medische, noch ten aanzien van statistische gegevens noch ten aanzien van organisatorische zaken noch ten aanzien van uitvoerende commando structuren. (Navo Agema).

Zelfs de vragen die de Enquête Commissie mag stellen zijn voorgekookt.
Vragen naar waarheidsvinding en verantwoordelijkheid worden angstvallig voorkomen (Arib).

Het wordt duidelijk waarom de voorzitter van de Enquête commissie Daan de Kort steeds oortjes in zijn heeft. Om gesoufleerd te worden. De vraag is wie soufleert Daan de Kort?

Het is duidelijk dat een Parlement dat accepteert dat haar zwaarste democratische onderzoekswapen zo gedecimeerd wordt, niet alleen haar eigen geloofwaardigheid ernstige schade toebrengt, doch ook aangeeft met een doofpot operatie bezig te zijn in plaats van met een waarheidsvinding operatie.

De conclusie is wederom dat het partijen kiesstelsel niet meer voldoet en op de schop moet.

De uitkomst van het onderzoek staat al vast en wordt daarom door ons nu reeds verworpen.

Egyptian Copt Christian explains how Egypt became Muslim:

“We are one of the first Christians in the world. Islam took over by the sword. They killed the men, raped the women, enslaved the children.

Egypt went from 0% to 90% Muslim. It’s a cult of sex, perversion and violence.”

What are the top 3 countries flooding the ocean with plastic?

- Malaysia dumps 73,000 metric tons a year.
- India cranks out over 126,000 a year.
- And the Philippines? A jaw-dropping 356,000 metric tons - every single year.

And no, your soggy paper straw isn’t fixing any of it.

While rivers vomit city waste straight into the sea by the hundreds of thousands of tons, you’re out there sipping sad lattes through limp cardboard like it’s saving the planet.
