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!

We REALLY need to reintroduce the Roman custom of Damnatio Memoriae—"damnation of memory", excision of a name and person from the written record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae
Für eine Milliarde kann man Öl oder Gas kaufen und dies genau einmal verbrennen.
Für eine Milliarde kann man stattdessen einen Solar- oder Windpark bauen, der für Jahrzehnte Energie liefert.
Wer diesen Unterschied verstanden hat, will kein Öl oder Gas mehr. Aus rein ökonomischen Gründen.
Die Spekulationsstopp-Initiative der @juso_schweiz hatte ein besseres Resultat als die #Halbierungsinitiative. Damals kam aber kein Bundesrat und hat sie trotzdem teilweise umgesetzt.
Wer stoppt Rösti?!?
Das ist unerhört und gefährlich für unsere Demokratie.
How tenaciously Palantir courted Switzerland
The controversial tech company Palantir provides surveillance technology to militaries and intelligence services around the world.
In Switzerland, however, its pitches have been rejected by both government authorities and the army. Internal documents have now revealed why.
Our articles from December 2025 finally available in english and paywall-free!
Because of THIS article (there is another one) Palantir is suing us.
Please read and spread it. And if you want donate and support us, you can donate us for this specific article without subscribing.
We are commited to journalistic standards, we have a huge documentation and provided lots of evidence to the court.

German satirical artist Jacques Tilly has been sued in Russia by Vladimir Putin for defaming the Russian state by making carnival sculptures in Germany — outside Putin's dystopian jurisdiction — so it would be a real shame, if that made us share his artworks and embarrass Putin even further.
