Trump Administration Says Europe Faces ‘Civilizational Erasure’

I genuinely cannot actually believe this. It’s now US policy to support far right parties across Europe to “stop them becoming majority non-European”, by which they mean “White”. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/w...

FIFA peace prize

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

Happy belated birthdays to @angiemckeown.bsky.social and @katebevan.com 🎂

UK SIMs route through the UK, even when you are abroad. Beware of the data caps when roaming with a UK SIM.
We'll probably encounter the verification alerts when we head over to the UK for BHEU and bSides London, though can always switch back to NL SIM (I have a dual SIM phone).

Critical Security Vulnerability in React Server Components – React The library for web and native user interfaces

A perfect CVSS 10 🧑🏻‍🍳💋

react-server-dom-webpack

Had this running elsewhere, and it was a massive help.

OH: the difference between dotcom and now is that people actually liked the internet

Get well soon!

I think Alfie Boe is the one I have mainly heard of. Vague on the rugby folks.

This is Limburg BE, not NL - though they are pretty close.

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!! Girlguiding was always so wonderfully trans inclusive and this development is truly chilling. Sending solidarity to the trans community. We love you!

For those who don't want to spend December trying to avoid hearing the blessed St George of Michael, here is Ali's excellent Christmas music bingo card

I’m a trans woman who codes, and this is what I’ve learned about gender in tech My experience transitioning in midcareer gave me a unique perspective on how the industry should approach gender inclusion.

Yup.

Dislocated a rib before Blackpool. Amazed she is still going.

25+ years as a woman in tech, my guess is someone will take something the wrong way...

Aggressive
Pushy
Opinionated
Not technical enough
Too technical

I worry less about how people take things, I'm not looking to play politics, just focussed on doing a good job. I do check in on treading on toes.

Love the colour of the Kitchen Aid.

A dislocated rib is not a quick recovery, sadly. I'm amazed she danced last week (the masked pain face was sadly one I recognised), and it's even more incredible that she is still in the competition. But seeing her struggle up the stairs, I wanted to give her a cotton wool hug.

Increasingly sure this whole fiasco is in fact a long-running postmodern art/immersive theatre project designed to give us all something to laugh at in these difficult times. Perhaps put on by the Judean Popular Front's theatre collective.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I hope this finds you

I am having so much Japan envy rn, between you, & @sharonodea.com's travels. It's been on my wish list for 30+ years.
Hope you & L are well.

#5pmFriday & it’s time to process the week’s events. Everything, whether it was a success or a struggle, comes to an end. The real victory lies in taking time to learn & grow from it, & to be grateful for the experience, before you reset for the week ahead.
Still we rise!

Ooops. Spaetzle?

The conversation usually concludes in an Amazon voucher. I try to get a little something, wine or chocolate from CH, though I might opt for NL wine this year,and the latest crossword book. Maybe something for the hedgehogs.
