Photo Trump shared of Abrego Garcia's tattoos real but altered; no evidence they're gang-related
U.S. President Donald Trump held up a photo supposedly showing that Kilmar Abrego Garcia's hand tattoos meant he was a member of the MS-13 gang.
Rumor Democrats chugged artificial food dyes to protest RFK Jr. originated as satire
Social media users shared the rumor in April 2025 without mentioning Babylon Bee, the satirical website it came from.
Fake video shows RFK Jr. saying, 'Kids are gayer than ever and they're fat, repulsively fat'
The inauthentic video of the U.S. health secretary featured artificial-intelligence (AI) manipulation.
Fake Fox News chyron displayed Trump saying trolling him online was 'imperial treason'
The president never said, "It’s high imperial treason to troll me on Facebook and Twitter."
RFK Jr.'s effort to phase out artificial food dyes is not an outright ban — nor effective immediately
Kennedy's plan to eliminate the dyes needs the food companies to go along — he doesn't appear to have an enforcement mechanism in place.

Why 99% of Glass Eels are Gone and How We Can Save Them? - videos.trom.tf/w/rXaJVsRtHBJGE…
Yet another example of people doing a lot of hard work, for free, and for a good cause. Imagine if more could be involved to do such acts. We need to take care of people, in order for people to not destroy the environment, each other, and to have time to restore what was destroyed.
Help people, to help the world.

Pedagogy of the Connected – Building Community in Online Learning Spaces
How do we build genuine community in online education - not just simulate interaction?
In my latest blog post, I explore how connection in digital spaces demands more than tools and tech. It requires pedagogical intention, vulnerability, and co-authorship.
What does "community" mean in your online teaching practice - and how do you design for it?

On stormy days (which there have been a lot of), we mostly stay inside and eat cheesecake 😁 videos.trom.tf/w/jwu1LtBABCHGW…
We stayed in a motorhome parking area near a little town called Alcaracejos, where we found a lot of white buildings and one very small car ☺️
Trapped in a storm for many days
Several storms hit Spain for almost a month. Raining, clouds, cold and wind. We decided to go to a motorhome parking in Alcaracejos and stay there for several days to wait for the storm to calm down. We put a lot of strain on our batteries and our patience :D.

Lots of dying fish in this lake - videos.trom.tf/w/bv3rpVt3GQWZ8…
PLAYA DE LA COLADA: This was a beautiful yet kinda creepy place because we found a LOT of fish dying and it looked really weird. Not a water you want to go swim into. We solved the mystery later on when we red more about the place... Except that, we had a good time there and the scenery was really nice. We even did some nigthtime timelapse.

Overheid verruimt standpunt inzet generatieve AI
Het extreemrechtse kabinet heft bescherming van burgers tegen AI grotendeels op. Regels waar de overheid zich aan moet houden worden enorm versoepeld.
Vergunningaanvragen en vragen van burgers kunnen voortaan door #AI beantwoord worden in plaats van door een ambtenaar.
AI gaat overheidssoftware schrijven. Black box technologie (waarbij niemand weet waarom AI iets zegt of doet) wordt toegestaan, en AI gaat zelfs beslissingen nemen namens de overheid.
Whatever could go wrong??

Het allerbelangrijkste is NEE zeggen.
Heel veel mensen en bedrijven doen wat Timothy Synder "obedience in advance" noemt: ze zijn bij voorbaat gehoorzaam, censureren zichzelf zelfs al voordat het ze is gevraagd. Terwijl we gewoon elke vorm van collaboratie zouden moeten weigeren.
Het andere ding wat we allemaal kunnen doen, is ons organiseren.
Je hoeft geen held te zijn of een alomvattende theorie uit te dokteren. Ga gewoon naar een organisatie die al bestaat, en die je gaaf vindt, en vraag ze hoe je ze kunt steunen. Iedereen kan iets waar iemand anders behoefte aan heeft.
Samen kunnen we extreemrechts aan de kant krijgen. In je eentje lukt dat niet.

in reply to Grymt • • •Voor de nationale politiek van Nederland maak ik me geen enkele illusie - in Brussel zullen ze altijd eerder zijn met de bereidheid hierin in te grijpen - Nederland loopt chagrijnig achteraan als er gedwongen wordt te stoppen met de eigen bevolking te vergiftigen.
Helaas zijn ook in Brussel de conservatieve landbouwlobby en chemische lobby erg sterk.
Waar komt het getal 3.000 vandaan? Als ik google op de toegestane hoeveelheid pfas in wijn vind ik de Europese verordening van 2 microgram. Dan is 300 microgram dus 150 x zo hoog. Natuurlijk nog steeds zo ontzettend veel meer dat het absurd is ...

in reply to Kees Alders • •Uit het artikel:
"In alle jonge wijnen werd TFA aangetroffen, met (...) piekniveaus tot 320 microgram per liter. (...)
TFA is zogenaamde “korteketen-PFAS”. De chemische autoriteiten in Duitsland hebben voorgesteld om het Europees te classificeren als ‘vermoedelijk toxisch voor de voortplanting’. Volgens milieuorganisaties zou de stof ook als “relevante metaboliet” moeten worden geclassificeerd, omdat ze persistent, mobiel en toxisch is. De Europese norm voor dergelijke stoffen bedraagt 0,1 microgram per liter."
