The Dutch government entrusted a company called Solvinity with hosting our digital ID system DigiD. Now that's in the process of being sold to an American company, Kyndryl, handing the Trump regime a unique tool to apply pressure. Parliament wants to dissolve the contract.

The cult leader on my sweater is raising a lot of questions already answered by my sweater.
Ali Alexander, the far-right activist who organized the Stop the Steal campaign in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, has a slightly different take on the assassination, claiming instead that it was further evidence that Trump is the Antichrist, something many MAGA figures have also been considering this week. "To be clear: if Donald Trump didn't receive a miracle, then it was deception or a dark sign," Alexander wrote in a five-page PDF he posted to his Telegram channel on Tuesday evening. "There is biblical prophecy in Revelation 13:3 apparently about the Antichrist being struck on the head."
Like, it can never just be "Trump is a political actor who I thought I understood, but who is taking actions that I disagree with." It's gotta be, I thought Trump was the second coming of Christ, but now I understand that he's ackshually the Antichrist.

One thing that’s interesting about this story is how it suggests that the social transmission mechanism means that the radicalizing effects of the internet can spread to people who aren’t online.

It might be AI, it might be generic stupidity; funny in either case!

Grading with AI, a good idea? The Dutch news only gave me a few seconds, here is my longer take:

Weer een week, weer een nieuwsbrief!
Nakijken met AI, is dat nou een goed idee? In het NOS journaal kreeg ik maar een paar tellen, lees hier mijn langere take!

“There will never be a bell loud enough, a helmet strong enough, or clothing bright enough, to make up for poor infrastructure.” Billboard ad saying “join us in fighting for safe streets, by Vision Zero Vancouver, ad by Tom Flood.
There will never be enough victim-blaming to make up for poor infrastructure and missing leadership. But it sure makes a nice distraction for decision-makers hiding from responsibility, right?

I say again that every ceo of a company with a chatbot should be personally, individually liable for every piece of text it produces, as though it is something they themselves said
This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Nope. Start instead by addressing the pay gap in teaching (and other "feminized" professions). And stop denigrating educators by blaming them for problems they didn't create and can't be expected to solve on their own.
well well well if it isn’t the consequences of their actions
btw, these films make a beautiful case against AI: they're such a pure example of how art is enriched by the labour required to produce it, as well as the physicality of the tools used to create it
