Het is de vraag of de Belastingdienst het wel aankan, qua automatisering, om nu een grote stelselwijziging door de voeren. Principieel heb je gelijk, maar of het praktisch haalbaar is?

Maar goed, eerst is de politiek aan zet.
They're looting those from Ukraine anyway.
It's weird to see the cultural differences. In Dutch, the word 'libelle' is associated with a stuffy women's magazine, you won't see people drawing themselves as 'libelles'. But 'dragonfly' elicits a very different response in the English speaking world. Fascinating, but it did pollute the feed :-)
I have had to filter out a lot of posts, blocking many accounts in the process. But slowly we're getting to the place where it is indeed mostly images of odonata.

As the warmth shifts to other parts of the planet, I'm looking forward to seeing their photos; hopefully the feed will catch those!
As the dragonfly season winds down here in Europe, I look back on the first season of hosting the Odonata Worldwide feed. It's been a chore at times, as the word 'dragonfly' is used by many artists (and 'artists') to create all sorts of stuff that doesn't fit in the feed.

Code orange in the Dutch coastal areas from 14.00 here, as storm Benjamin is coming in. I'm a bit further inland (it's code yellow where I live) and shouldn't be too affected, but I still secured all the loose stuff in the garden :-)
Alles draait om Trump's kwetsbare ego. Wat een kleine man is het toch.
Exclusive: A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including US intelligence officers, has been helping to steer President Trump's drive for retribution against his perceived enemies reut.rs/3IXEVG9

Niet mijn favoriete repertoire, maar toch een leuk initiatief 🙂
The news definitely reminds me of him! But these robbers do not have my sympathy: it seems they stole ancient, historically unique objects. The cultural damage is huge.
Fietsen, niet alleen goed voor je maar ook nog eens heel efficiënt! Zouden wij Nederlanders er daarom zo verknocht aan zijn? 🙂

From an economic and (arms) logistics viewpoint, I think Rotterdam is more important than Amsterdam, should a wider war erupt. There is a logic to this choice. If we can't defend both, then, well, Rotterdam comes first I think.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Die gedachte herken ik inderdaad ook nog wel ja. Hoor dat nog steeds wel eens, om me heen. Slachtoffermentaliteit past niet bij de kerk vind ik: het werkt verlammend, levert niks positiefs op.
Deze recensie geeft wat meer zicht op de theologische drijfveren van Charlie Kirk. Nuttige informatie, ook om in eigen kring alert op te blijven.
Waar zie je daar de sporen van terug? Blijft dat aan de (charismatische of pentecostal) randen van christelijk Nederland of dringt het ook door in reformatorische of vanouds hervormde kringen, naar jouw waarneming?
Fascinating stuff.. a rabbit hole one can easily lose a couple of hours in. Nongbri is always interesting!
And today, the Belgian Prime Minister thinks that the whole thing was a big mistake.
Gisteravond (bijna helemaal) geluisterd. Goed verhaal, dit klinkt als een een begaanbare weg naar een betere toekomst. Welke politieke partijen gaan hiermee aan de slag?
Waarom gaat de campagne over zoiets achterhaalds als de hypotheekrenteaftrek?'

Volgens @paulschenderling.bsky.social zou de campagne over fundamentelere dingen moeten gaan: 'Onze zekerheden voor gewone werknemers, industrie, mkb, Green Deal staan allemaal op de tocht.

Ik vroeg me even af wat een kolfat-test eigenlijk was, voordat het hele verhaal tot me doordrong.
