Great. He sucks. Putting it mildly. The world knows.

What plan do you have to improve things?

Well. That just sucks.

Opinie | De polarisatieschwalbe Opinie: Thomas Hogeling beschouwt wekelijks de publieke opinie. Wat wordt er gezegd en vooral niet gezegd? Deze week: tijdens de campagne ging het amper over de écht schadelijke polarisatie.

Woordje bedacht.

De grootste bedreiging voor de democratie? De strijd om de grootste. De verkiezingsavond werd verslagen als een sportfinale: wie is de grootste? Terwijl journalisten zochten naar de winnaar, gaf Wilders alvast de scheidsrechter de schuld.

Exitpolls, tussenstanden, too close to call — verkiezingen als Formule 1-kwalificatie. Maar zodra politiek een sport wordt, maakt vanzelf een verliezer een keer ruzie met de scheidsrechter.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

This is commentary on Alien (1979) but it's basically what everyone said about John Carpenter's The Thing, and Blade Runner. "Why would anyone make a movie this bleak and miserable and nihilistic?"

“Can you put two and two together about what’s going on here??”

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Also... 'Kick tomorrow' somehow has a great ring to it. Put that on a Delft Blue tile.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

This. 💯

@forbes.com that headline is straight from the Obeying In Advance school of journalism. Grow a spine.

Red de volkshuisvesting! • Nederland is koploper in het belasten van sociale huurwoningen (32%). Dat is zo'n vier maanden huur. Diezelfde belastingen zorgen ervoor dat de woonlasten voor huurders sterk stijgen. Terwijl de won...

'Polarisatie: dát schijnt het grote probleem te zijn. We moeten minder polariseren. Je zal het de komende weken nog vaak horen zeggen, in de campagne, meestal door mensen met een angstaanjagende lading boter op hun hoofd', zegt Pieter Derks.

Now, the big Sean Bean question...

Are you camp Seen Been, or Shawn Bawn?

Early (and halftime) Oline injuries against a very stout D#/rush needed a quicker change of game plan / short pass calls by MLF. Lost the game in Q1-3. Q4 just added the ST trauma sprinkles on top. Our D# looked really decent, and it will be alright. Still Super Bowl contenders. #GoPackGo

Kamermeerderheid vindt Antifa terroristische organisatie Een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer wil dat Nederland, in navolging van de Verenigde Staten, de extreemlinkse beweging Antifa aanmerkt als terroristische organisatie. Een motie daartoe van Lidewij de V...

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

The first time the Packers have held two opponents under 250 yards to open the season since 1995.

Who was the leader of that defense? Reggie White.

Super Bowl. I've seen enough.

FAFO.

Except the Finding Out part lacks on the connecting the dots bit. Every. Damn. Time.

...and craft beers, music, and all around stand-up-guyishness. Oh and the clips, and insights, and contagious giddiness over nerdy Packers stuff, and, and. Anyway, just stay, I guess! Dusty is good people.

This. All of it.

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want?

Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

I have no wor... Wait, no, I do: #GoPackGo
