Look at those trousers!
Look at those trousers!
Those sloping hills are a bit suspect, though...
Hahaha and those are just some European examples... What nonsense
Zojuist was de uitreiking van de prestigieuze Spinozapremie aan collega @judithpollmann.bsky.social. Zo welverdiend!
En het maakt me extra blij dat Judith een deel van de premie inzet om het onderzoek naar de geschiedenis van het Nederlandse platteland een nieuwe impuls te geven.
Omdat Nederland net doet alsof de geschiedenis begint in 1568 ๐
Lijkt me weldadig,in het licht van ongeveer alle andere onderwerpen
So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

โIt is not normal,โ a security guard says.
Altijd fijn dat je per situatie kunt kiezen wat je het beste uitkomt
๐ ๐ตZo gaat dat dan. Er ligt โฌ35 miljard voor het oprapen, maar de VVD blijft staan bij de bezuinigingen op de Onderwijskansenregeling voor 455.000 kwetsbare leerlingen. Het gaat om โฌ177 miljoen โ slechts 0,5% van wat aan ondoelmatige fiscale regelingen opgaat. Geld is er genoeg. Wil niet.
Standaard zin in medische artikelen: dit kost de samenleving elk jaar x miljard euro. Een probleem is pas een probleem als het in de papieren loopt
So it was worth it to move to this blue place ! My new hero ๐
Ik lees enige jaloezie tussen de regels door
The order on Restoring Gold Standard Science allows a political appointee, without input from scientific experts, to unilaterally decide when findings require โcorrectionโ and to discipline those deemed to have spread misinformation.

Vooral het slot is prachtig: "Alles wat niet verboden wordt door natuurwetten is haalbaar, mits de juiste kennis voorhanden is.โ Het verlammen van de instellingen die kennis verwerven en overdragen, is een tragische blunder en een misdaad jegens toekomstige generaties. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Guys I can explain why for at least 1750 of those years.
The acting U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., has sent letters to several leading medical journals asking for information about their editorial practices.
Recently I found myself on Antipope Instagram, where there are endless reels of the current Antipope of the Palmarian Catholic Church.
This is, of course, extremely my jam, and I started reading up on them hoping to find some wild theology, but instead I found something WAY better...
www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... en na de universiteit is de beurt aan wikipedia. Want MAGA verdraagt geen kennis.
Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women
Unreal

We moeten luisteren van de PVV. Dat u het even weet.
A formal letter dated April 11, 2025, from U.S. government agencies addressed to Dr. Alan M. Garber and Penny Pritzker of Harvard University. The letter, featuring logos from the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, and General Services Administration, expresses concerns about Harvard's failure to meet intellectual and civil rights expectations tied to federal funding. It proposes reforms as a basis for continuing financial support. Key provisions mentioned include governance and leadership reforms aimed at reducing influence from students and administrators focused on activism rather than scholarship.
Continuation of the letter detailing required reforms Harvard must implement by August 2025. These include: Merit-Based Hiring Reform to eliminate race, color, religion, sex, or national origin preferences. Merit-Based Admissions Reform to ensure objective, merit-based student selection with public data reporting. International Admissions Reform to prevent admitting students hostile to American values or involved in anti-Semitic behavior. Viewpoint Diversity in Admissions and Hiring requiring an external audit to ensure diversity of thought across all departments.
Further required reforms listed in the letter: Reforming Programs with Egregious Records of Antisemitism or Other Bias, including external audits and accountability for faculty violations. Discontinuation of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs and initiatives, with a requirement to show structural and personnel changes ensuring these programs are permanently ended.
Final section of the letter, outlining: Student Discipline Reform and Accountability, requiring Harvard to revise disciplinary policies to prevent disruptions and harassment, including specific measures such as banning student clubs promoting violence or antisemitism, banning face masks, and expelling students involved in certain protests. Whistleblower Reporting and Protections for those reporting noncompliance. Transparency and Monitoring involving federal audits, reporting of foreign funding sources, and compliance with immigration data requirements. The letter concludes with a call for immediate cooperation from Harvard to implement reforms and return to its core academic mission.
The Trump Administration sent Harvard a detailed list of extreme demands on Friday. It called for the dismantling of "DEI" Harvard centers, including a legal clinic, tha study human rights, and the surveillance of students political views.
Harvard has responded and rejected these demands.
