On Saturday 21 June, US president Donald Trump launched massive and illegal missile attacks on the sovereign nation of Iran.
He did so in total violation of international law, and without the consent of the US congress or the support of the US people.
It was an unjustifiable act of aggression which threatens to escalate into a full-scale war which will kill many, further destabilise the Middle East.

[1 of 2] Two tunes for you!
🎹 The first is the “industrial” tune I posted here a couple of weeks ago with a better “cyberpunk” video, featuring me jamming on a new-to-me Yamaha DJX (a keyboard from 1998).
🎹 The second is a “’90s downtempo” track in the style of bands like Morcheeba, Lamb, and Tricky, this time on a new-to-me Yamaha DJX II (the follow-up to the DJX from 2000).

Rob Jetten speelt racistische kaart
Rob Jetten voegt zich bij het al veel te grote koor van politici die vluchtelingen rechten af willen pakken, migratie aanwijzen als probleem en daarmee racistische haat als rechtmatig erkennen en voeden. Dat blijkt uit het interview dat het AD vandaag, 23 juni 2025,publiceerde.(1) Publiciteit heeft de D66-chef er in ieder geval al mee bereikt. Of hij met deze naargeestige koerswijziging veel kiezers gaat winnen, betwijfel ik. Maar misschien zit er voor hem op deze manier wel een ministerschap in een komend kabinet-Yesilgöz voor hem in.

in reply to Joey de Villa 🪗 • • •[2 of 2] Among other things, I make technology videos, which I post on the Global Nerdy YouTube channel. While I think I have a pretty good narrating voice (I’ve been told time and again that I should be on the radio), a video still benefits from having a good soundtrack. I already do the writing, presenting, and graphics — why not also do the music?
