Blues are very small, quick moving butterflies. I was fortunate this one had stopped to sip some minerals from along a pond.

New York Post appealed to Trump to immediately resume aid to Ukraine.
NYT came out with an editorial - an appeal from the entire team.
The main theme: stopping aid to Ukraine is a major strategic mistake. If the US allows Russia to conquer Ukraine, it will create global risks, including the security of Taiwan.
"It's not a choice - to help Ukraine or to contain China. It's a choice - to help Ukraine and contain China at the same time."

A generation of scientific talent is at the brink of being lost to overseas competitors by the Trump administration’s dismantling of the National Science Foundation (NSF), with unprecedented political interference at the agency jeopardizing the future of US industries and economic growth, according to a Guardian investigation.

Hij zegt: "Het is voor mij wel duidelijk dat als de EU erin slaagt een militaire macht van betekenis te worden, het de rol van activisten in de lidstaten is om ervoor te zorgen dat die lidstaten niet in verkeerde handen vallen."
Als je ziet wat er gebeurt in Palestina, en vaststelt dat onze regering daar actief aan bijdraagt, kan je je toch niet anders dan vaststellen dat de huidige militaire macht *op dit moment al* in verkeerde handen is?
Dat het leger in de handen is van "de democratie" is niet genoeg.
De grote genocides van de afgelopen eeuwen waren vaak breed gedragen onder de bevolking die er de "vruchten" van plukte.
Ik wil geloven dat mensen - als ze hun racistische harnas afdoen, hun hart openen, en ruimte maken voor diepe zelfreflectie en zelfkritiek - geen genocide steunen. En dat dat hun *eigenlijke*, *onvervormde* standpunt is.
Democratie zonder dekolonisering is geen echte democratie.
Google has been hit by an antitrust lawsuit in Europe from publishers complaining that they can’t opt out of AI overviews without also opting out of showing up in Google Search.
I’m sympathetic to the publishers complaints but this will make the user experience worse if sites can opt out of various search features.
It'll make Google's user experience worse. Not the publisher's.
Also, you gotta look at the long run effects here where it can become unviable to publish and everyone loses...

We hebben daar een paar jaar geleden heerlijk in de zomer bij een zwemvijvertje gezeten. Met een terras en ligbedden en alles, compleet gratis! En ook een pizzabakker die heel lekkere pizza's maakte (niet gratis lol), echt super :)
