I volunteer with a Utrecht non-profit De Fietsmeesters to help teach adults how to bike. Students are almost always women, and mostly new immigrants. There are 16 new riders in this class, and 4 of us volunteers.
By the end of 10 weeks almost everyone is successfully biking on the road — it's so empowering!
I look forward to the post capitalist days when I can go outside and enjoy the green shaded paths, and graze from the abundance on trees and bushes at will, watch all the colorful birds, and meet up at the local makerspace, skillshare, tool and appliance library, repair cafe, music, art studios & gallery and performance space, farmers market, coop greenhouse & solar powered food trucks in former parking lots, gardens, flea markets, etc. that took over a former mall.

space exploration has always been one of the best things our government has ever done
it’s such an achievement of human ingenuity
and the beauty in doing impossible things if we work together, and we try?
i tear up every time
would that we did more of that in every other area of society too
"The more technologically sophisticated war becomes, the more dangerous it is to place it in the hands of people untrained in irony, contingency and the darker constants of human nature. Such leaders will speak fluently of capabilities, timelines and kill chains. They will have no language for resentment, dishonor, loyalty or grief — and they will discover, too late, that wars are made of these as much as of steel and fire."

Mission accomplished:
- Provided Israel cover to in invade Lebanon without intervention from Iran.
- Reintroduced Russian oil to the global markets with record market share and at record prices, allowing Putin to expand his war in Ukraine and oil as a weapon against the EU.

I’m in Belgium on a work-related trip; first time I had the chance to pick up a printed copy of Belgian newspaper De Morgen since I started working for them.
I know print is dying, but seeing your cartoons in ink on actual paper is still something special :)
De Duitse deelstaat Schleswig-Holstein behoort tot de koplopers van Europese overheden die hun afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse technologiebedrijven daadwerkelijk afbouwen. Waar in Nederlandse lokale overheden niet verder durven te gaan dan pilots en voornemens, zijn de Duitsers al concreet bezig met een systematische migratie naar open source.
