if you see anyone not listed in the EUC starter pack, someone, some account that needs to be on it (or someone I mistakenly added that is not in EUC), ping me and I add or remove them.

Ik had het hier over met iemand van een radicaal linkse partij. Hoe weinig links er tegenwoordig is. In mijn jeugd was links groot en aanwezig. Nu is alles naar midden en rechts opgeschoven. Ook mede door meer welvaart en beter arbeidsomstandigheden.

Links moet zich opnieuw uitvinden

I agree 100%, it’s a catch22 for them.

I stayed on X for a long time after its demise but only hoping to see it collapse. At some point the hate and nonsense made it an unusable platform.

There was no conversation anymore without it being hijacked by someone “angry”.

What is X? 😉.

Why do people still support that nasty person and his platform? There are enough alternatives and Twitter is no longer the go to platform it was in 2012.

Travelling back from Frankfurt we have a detour to reach Arnhem. Sadly the train does not stop at any station on that detour. Just passed my house at 5km but need to travel 1hour to Arnhem and 1hour back.

C’est la vie. Sun is shining

Je denkt vanwege de titel; zwaar onderwerp, wat voor experts zullen er aan tafel zitten?

En natuurlijk zit daar Angela de Jong. Meest nutteloze persoon in talkshows.

Herinner me even wat haar expertise is? Naast roddel en achterklap?

Ik zoek wel een andere tijdsbesteding

This is a very dangerous scenario and the recruitment was one I thought about also. People have bills to pay.

The cleanup from all of this will take decades.

A quote of today that stuck with me.

“You need to be agile and eager to learn; what you know today and what you do today, won’t be. Used or needed tomorrow”.

You need to be able to adapt and keep learning.

It was a choice I made to travel by train. I am an old interrailer so I know the drill. I guess I hoped that it went smoother.

Arrived an hour late, missed the reception but then again, should have take an earlier train in hindsight. Next time I know more

Not on the Netherlands. I had to do some interesting travelling to cope wit that as well. This was from Arnhem to Frankfurt.

Travelling to an event. I decided to take the more sustainable transport, train. The travel time would be more or less the same, so why not.

Well, it is hell. After about the fifth red sign, trains in front of us not moving, issues with the rails, we are now 50mins late and half way. Never again

Blondie denkt een Trump /Orbannetje te doen in Nederland. Indien hij niet kan winnen dan moet er weer onrust komen. Je zag het mijlenver aankomen.

We are waiting for Wilders to step down. Massive loss. any leader would step down after a loss like this.

Our elections turned out to a better result than expected. The right wing party lost 12 seats to other right wing parties and more moderate parties.

They are still the biggest party but after two walk aways from a coalition, who will work with them. They are only shouting and hatred, no solution.

I think I saw some updates about scripts on FB... not really my focus, but worth checking out

Didn’t he retire?

I started reading ebooks when I fell sick on a holiday with no possibility to go to a shop.. as I read non-fiction marking was nice.

But I agree with the distractions.. I tried real readers over a decade ago.. I didn’t like them then but that was ages ago.
