Waarom hebben onze noordernederburen zo vaak en zo veel meer bezopen onnozelaars met titels als "rechtsfilosoof" en "cultuurfilosoof" in praatprogramma's zitten?
Het einde van de oorlog in Oekraïne lijkt verder weg dan ooit. Filosoof Jelle van Baardewijk pleit daarom voor een opvallend compromis met Poetin: "Ik denk dat het heel belangrijk is met Rusland aan de onderhandelingstafel te komen en ons te verplaatsen in het gevoel van onveiligheid van de Russen." Volgens hem moet dat leiden tot een afgeslankt Oekraïne in veiligheid. "Het zal ook impliceren dat Zelensky moet aftreden." #WNL #GoedenavondNederland
Antivaxxers zijn fundamenteel bang van spuitjes.
Al het daaruit voortvloeiende discours, al de bullshit, alle samenzweringstheorieën zijn omslachtige vermommingen en excuses voor angst voor spuitjes.
For the first time in its history, Russia cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea. It is now preparing to deploy an additional North Korean contingent on its territory. It has also received additional ballistic missiles from North Korea. Everyone around the world must understand what this means.
This is not only about the lives of people in Ukraine, and not only about the threats we face. North Korea’s ballistic missiles and other weapons are being improved through its collaboration with Russia. The more North Korean strikes there are here in Ukraine, in Europe, the more their missiles and soldiers are used, the more they correct their shortcomings and blind spots, the greater the danger will later be for Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and other countries in the region.
That is why, when we speak about the need for joint action, for coordination and mutual support, when we speak about the need to help us strengthen our air defense, we are also, in fact, speaking about taking away North Korea’s appetite and any interest in coming here – to our land and into our skies – with its weapons in order to learn how to wage war. Everyone across the globe who respects human life must stand together in taking action to protect people.
From the evening address.
The willingness of Trump, RFK Jr., and Bhattacharya to resurrect the vaccine–autism myth is not merely ignorant; it is a cynical betrayal of evidence-based public health.
Ignorance reigns.

Hot take: geen enkele economische of militaire uitspraak van Trump richt zo veel schade aan bij het Amerikaanse volk als deze over vaccins.
Krankzinnig.
Trump: "Decades ago, children received only a small fraction of the vaccines required today. In those times, people were much healthier and of course the high rates of autism now observed did not exist. There's a reason for such epidemic rates of autism."
Trump: Hillary Clinton wanted the miners to learn how to make chips—little tiny chips with their big strong hands. They wanted to be in the mines. That's what they want to do. They don't want to do anything else.
Trump on Switzerland:
Take a look at Switzerland. We have a $39 billion deficit. I can wipe out that deficit in one stroke of the pen and they're no longer an elite country. Yet they pay one-half of one percent interest. They're the lowest ones.
And all I have to do is say, "I don't want any of your watches. I don't want any of your goods." And we save ourselves $39, $41 billion, and they go from being elite to being very troubled.
Fortunately, I'm a nice person.
In een wereld die u tracht te doen wanhopen, ga de komende perseïdendagen eens een laatavondwandelinkje doen. Still buzzing. Buitenmaats grote vallende ster.
Росія прагне залякати нас і зламати нашу волю ракетним терором проти мирного населення. Сьогодні Київщина в жалобі за загиблими від ворожої ракетної атаки.
Завдаючи руйнівних ударів по будинках, логістиці, складах, ворог марно сподівається нас зламати. Сліпа одержимість убивць натикається на головне – нашу непохитну стійкість і єдність.
Щоб повністю зупинити цей терор, критично необхідні рішучі кроки. Наші партнери мають розуміти: надання Україні ракет для ППО сьогодні – це збереження мирного життя на Заході. Ми також працюємо над зміцненням протиповітряної оборони власними силами. І рішення будуть.
Ворог обов'язково відповість за кожне обірване життя.
Світла пам'ять загиблим.
