Good morning from Haarlem.

#GoodMorningFromHaarlem
Orange and gray clouds shoot through the blue sunrise and reflect on the water in the wide canal. The first lights of the morning shine out of folks’ windows and doors reflecting also in the water as tiny lights on the sides of the canal.

The blue of the Dawn sky contrast with yellow and red lights on the side of the buildings and reflects in the wet cobblestone Street below in the middle of town.

Good morning from Valkkoog.

The entranceway to a church built in the 1300s in a small town in the middle of the pool in the north there’s some cloudy blue sky and birds flying above the churches steeple.

Have been enjoying Greg Daniel's "Upload" on Amazon for its light, dry hypercapitalist cynicism but they knocked it out the park with a cameo by cyberpunk prophet William Gibson in S3E5! Appropriate use of @greatdismal.bsky.social as a cautionary voice that's utterly ignored 😉

Shoppers walk down a small cobblestone street on either side of which are some of our fanciest shops. The side of the cathedral is in the background.

You should be able to use a translation app on this free story. The gist of it is that our two main security services have become selective about what they share with the Americans. This was not the case in the near past.

(for context the NRC is a well-regarded, center-left newspaper.)

It's interesting that the URL is in Dutch, not English. I hope it's intended to (also) remind Dutch voters that we are by far not in the clear yet. We must vote to save our own democracy in a couple of weeks.

Also: fuck the PVV, the BBB, and their VVD enablers.

City dwellers think the countryside is a quiet place but in my experience that is rarely true. Right now, around our house in the countryside there are so, so many noises. The other day a procession of over 100 tractors came through the village. Residents thronged the lane and cheered loudly at the tractors, for the special effort they had made to show up and all be tractors together. Meanwhile, our nearest neighbour has decided to build some air b&b accomodation beside their enormous house. To make sure everyone is aware the air b&b accommodation is being built, they have wired up all the power tools being used to amplifiers they have borrowed from the Brixton Academy’s legendary sound system. This is so loud, it even drowns out the dogs who reside at the hostel for naughty dogs on the other side of the bridleway behind our garden. We never see these dogs, since they arrive at the hotel in blacked out high security vehicles, but we sometimes imagine what they look like. We imagine that they are not truly bad dogs, but dogs that have had a rough start in life, dogs that have made mistakes they must now pay for, mostly resulting from youthful exuberance and parental neglect. The dogs are most noisy between 9pm and midnight or around dawn, but between these two periods is when the foxes take over. The foxes sound nothing like the dogs. The foxes sound like aliens, whispering commands to one another at the top of their lungs. I cannot even attempt to translate what the foxes are saying. Sometimes we will hear one of the dogs respond to the foxes, in isolation. These barks are different to the other barks we hear coming from the pound, more vulnerable and confused. “John,” they seem to say. “I am scared by what I can hear outside. Please will you hold me, just for a second?”

Remember when i said we're living in the scariest parts of a Gibson novel thanks to a bunch of dudes who misunderstand Gibson's novels?

Well now I want to discuss the verified govt accounts spewing rightwing propaganda— possibly via a bot-run troll farm— & why you should block them for your safety.

#ProudBlue Law enforcement pushed peaceful protesters into the street - where they aren’t supposed to be - & then started beating them.

But it’s the reporting that’s the problem. Yeah. OK.

“They literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.”

This is 100% an accurate description of how this started.

Broadview PD mishandled the situation from the start, then unleashed ISP to beat the protesters they’d led into the street.

Protesters have said state and local police officers have attacked them and tried to stifle their attempts to speak and protest freely outside the Broadview ICE facility.

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Trump lies repeatedly about things easily disproven, eg "warzones in Portland and Chicago". Trump is very pro AI. AI is being used in fraud, already; it will be used, as in my Eclipse novels, to create deepfakes of, for example, a warzone in Portland. His use of AI generated propaganda is coming.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."
