Very brief highlights of new Dutch government plans:
Defence and security – raise annual budget to €19bn, partly though “freedom contribution“ (extra income tax) worth €3.5bn a year.
Armed forces to grow to 122,000.
Support Ukraine to join EU and Nato.
Create European “Five Eyes” spy network.

Hardware update: got a shot that is going to give me back two axis of movement + the nap of my life as a side effect.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)
