Als je natuur vaak genoeg als optioneel neer blijft zetten, gaan mensen geloven dat het optioneel is - niet dat weer al 3.8 miljard jaar afhankelijk van zijn.

Fundament als trivialiteit behandelen heeft consequenties. Nog een reden om geen geriatrische afdeling in machtsposities te willen.

Het Europese Parlement stemt in met de afbraak van duurzaamheidswetten Het Europees Parlement nam donderdag voor het eerst een groot besluit via de rechtervleugel: het verminderen van duurzaamheidsregels voor bedrijven. Europarlementariër Lara Wolters treurt.

Ik vind het zo absoluut bizar dat er mensen tegen zijn om anders om te gaan met de aarde. Ondanks alle waarschuwingen vanuit de natuur zelf.

Ik dacht een tijdje: het gaat goed komen. Maar de laatste tijd lijken we alleen maar stappen achteruit te zetten.

Reviewing is a serious burden on academics. We can't allocate proper time for it, we don't get compensated for it. Nonetheless, we make time for it to enhance science.

Today, when a manuscript came back to me for the second or third time, I sadly had to draw the line:

Lieve @nieuws.nos.nl en wat is de oorzaak van de PFAS in de wormen?

Wat een verschrikkelijk misleidende kop, alsof die wormen ons probleem zijn en niet de menselijke vergiftiging van die wormen.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Heel veel sterkte!💔

Every American needs to see this. Each of the people murdered by ICE had a place in their community, and those kidnapped and imprisoned also were people with lives that touched many others

Hoi @nieuws.nos.nl, jullie schrijven 'volgens het ministerie'. Grammaticaal gezien brengen jullie wat het ministerie zegt niet als feit.

Maar, is het nou echt zo moeilijk om daar direct bij te zetten 'uit de videobeelden blijkt dat dat niet waar is'

Imagine that none of these luxury problems are yours. Imagine being outside, soaking wet with nowhere to go in this weather.

We are all a minor or major tragedy away from homelessness. Be kind, be considerate, and when you can, help those in need.

There is no us versus them, just us, human.

No, nothing in the Netherlands is prepared for loads of sticky snow, and working from home with your kid(s) because school is closed is not ideal. Being stuck at the airport sucks, but it isn't the end of the world.

Thank you, and I just noticed my typo in Sweden🫣.

Aaaaaaand I miss Swedem again.

So so stunning. And give Janet a hug from me please!

It's just us.

Cartoon showing a living room where Santa is decorating a Christmas tree. A box next to him is filled with Christmas ornaments and is labeled ‘Christmas spirit CRISIS TEAM’. Behind him elves are shoving skulls and bombs labeled ‘Gaza’, ‘Ukraine’ and ’Sudan’ into a closet and trying to close the closet door so they do not spill out again. Outside we see a war going on in the distance, with buildings on fire and bombs being dropped while nearby an elf is operating a snow cannon to make the garden white.
