Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.

ChatGPT cited a paper of mine which I did not know existed, so I asked it for the link to it.
Unfortunately that link to the Nature website just gave a "Page not found".
So sad.

Geen beleid voeren om klimaatdoelen te halen, en de boetes die je dan krijgt betalen met het geld dat bedoeld is om de klimaatdoelen te halen.
Is deze regering nog wel legaal?

There's an old quote supposedly by the founder of Honda: "When Congress passes new emissions standards, we hire 50 more engineers and GM hires 50 more lawyers." Sounds like the Euro automakers do the same bullshit, and sounds like more or less the same result

Als de woorden worst en burger al zo verwarrend zijn voor de mensen, waarom maakt de Europese Unie zich dan niet druk over partijen die vrijheid of democratie ten onrechte in hun naam hebben staan?

We just made this graph showing most people in the world could get by on just some solar panels and batteries.

The X axis is basically latitude, but we filled in how many people live between the equator and a certain latitude.
The Y axis shows the amount of solar and batteries needed

The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy.

BUT: Not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.

Electrification+renewables are far more efficient.

“‘I’m leaving,’ Trump said. ‘There’s no reason to be here any more’”: inside the meeting that brought Nato to the brink Former secretary general Jens Stoltenberg recalls the rollercoaster ride of dealing with Donald Trump – and how close the US president brought the alliance to the point of collapse

“‘I’m leaving,’ Trump said. ‘There’s no reason to be here any more’”: inside the meeting that brought Nato to the brink www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration.

@politico.com had a big piece about it.

Staat er (nu?) wel bij.. soort van.

De Prinsenvlag is een symbool dat tegenwoordig door extreemrechts en vroeger door de NSB werd gebruikt. De vlaggen waren ook te zien bij de Malieveld-rellen waar veel extreemrechtse demonstranten op af kwamen.

JA21 op 2 en FvD op 3 bij Yesilgöz, dat geeft wel aan hoe de VVD is afgegleden naar extreemrechts

Uitstekende samenvatting van de totale waanzin. 👇🏻

I’m sure “politician secretly working with country that keeps threatening to nuke us” used to be a bigger story

Someone has done the edit:

Denk dat velen het alweer vergeten zijn, maar nog niet zo lang geleden buitelden politici over elkaar heen om Extinction Rebellion terroristisch te willen verklaren, waaronder de VVD. De aarzeling om extreemrechtse geweldplegers te benoemen steekt er wel heel schril bij af.

Het politieke debat in een notendop.

Ah Hooligans, gelukkig maar. Was al bang dat het extreemrechts geweld was

Dit volk wil zogenaamd "dAt nEdErlANd wEEr vEiLiG wORdT".

Die politiemensen zijn ook gewoon vaders en echtgenoten en zussen en dochters he.

“Jongens, kap nou heel ff met rellen en knokken. Ik wil deze speech over immigrantengeweld ff horen”

Hungary will replicate a policy announced by US President Trump, and designate Antifa a terrorist organisation, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday.

Antifa, short for "anti-fascist,” is an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militant groups and is not a singular entity.

Dit begrijp ik niet. Caroline van der Plas liep gisteren op Prinsjesdag vol trots in de Israëlische kleuren, uit steun aan Israël zei ze expliciet. Maar Esther Ouwehand mocht vandaag in de Tweede Kamer geen blouse in de kleuren van de Palestijnse vlag dragen.

Just read the indictment. Gonna guess this is the most detail we get about why this happened.

Presuming these messages weren't some sort of misdirect, he hated Charlie Kirk because Kirk was hateful. Honestly doesn't sound like he had a super clear idea why he inscribed the memes on his bullets.

Wierd Duk vergelijkt de geschifte rechtsextremist Charlie Kirk met Martin Luther King. De tafel van Vandaag Inside knikt.

Yes, by all means bypass safety to get back to the moon. That way we can all re-live our astronauts screaming in agony as they're burned alive.

This is awesome 🤟

Zuckerberg saying Meta intends to spend at least 600 billion in the US

Zuckerberg at the end caught on a hot mic

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?" A.R. Moxon

Historiker har ett begrepp för de tyskar som anslöt sig till nazistpartiet av andra orsaker än att de hatade judar…

Yup, exactly.

Ik ga het even benoemen Geert Wilders.
Wierd Duk, Syp Wynia lezen jullie even mee.
Je bron Dr. Jan van de Beek manipuleert de cijfers.
1. De grafiek toont verdachten, niet veroordeelden.
2. Er is een selectie gemaakt van zes landen.
Daardoor ontstaat een vertekend beeld.
Ik leg het je uit.
