Time to dump ChatGPT!
The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.

Binnenkort stemt de Eerste Kamer over de asielwetten van Marjolein Faber. Het zijn de ingrijpendste veranderingen sinds dertig jaar. Alle deskundigen benadrukken dat de wetten geen oplossing voor de problemen bieden. Sterker nog, dat ze die eerder zullen vergroten.

Voor het eerst #kladiladi gebruikt. Zal het waarschijnlijk nooit meer doen. Maar wel leuk om te weten dat mijn #inburgering nu helemaal afgerond is
RFK Jr’s new diet guidelines pose risks for health and the environment, experts say
A real “tell your parents” paper (since everyone on Bsky is canonically 38).

What can we do from the EU? If nothing else to show empathy and to show we grieve with you?
600-year-old #Viking #shipwreck is the largest of its kind. The medieval ‘cog’ was nearly 92 feet long and featured castles on its bow and stern.

Bezig met onderzoek naar hoe participatievormen voor burgers & maatschappelijke orgs verbeterd kunnen worden, rekening houdend met mogelijke maatschappelijke, technologische en institutionele trends. Voorlopige inzichten gaan we toetsen via dialoogsessies. #participatie #burgerparticipatie #overheid
“The data shows a planet warming faster than policy response, storms intensifying alongside rising seas, and economic losses concentrating where resilience is weakest. Climate risk is now a planning variable, rather than a forecast uncertainty.” www.forbes.com/sites/dianne...
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.
Watch this clip for a concise explanation of a "pro democracy" press: the arguments for it, examples of how it works in practice, my warnings if it never happens— all from five years ago.
Watch to the end and you will see my attempt at a mic drop.

The Trump administration has overhauled the nation’s childhood vaccination schedule, and among those clipped is the rotavirus vaccine. @katherinejwu.com interviewed one of the scientists who developed it:
Improving access to safe abortion care reduces maternal mortality and morbidity, supports gender equality, and contributes to achieving sustainable development goals.
Goed dat dit zo is opgepakt, maar nu ook minder focus op de individuen en meer op het sociale media ecosysteem

Scientific American @sciam.bsky.social articles in the December and January issues:
Here are people doing cool science that will cure disease or help us understand the natural world. It is being defunded by the Trump administration.
Nederlanders kleden zich slecht. Heel slecht. We zijn het enige volk ter wereld dat op een bruiloft verschijnt met een Eastpak-rugzak van 40 liter en op een begrafenis met een slobbertrui www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...
We condemn the scandalous US visa ban on former EU Commisioner Breton and digital activists. Protecting democracy isn’t censorship. ✋🏼
Disinformation isn’t free speech. Europe won’t take lessons from those undermining democracy and free speech.
Here in Europe we set our own laws. 🇪🇺✊🏼
Wetenschappers in de VS zetten CO2 met succes om in appelzuur, smaakstof voor snoep en wijn
What we have now is a two-tiered society with a wealthy few at the top and the vast majority of Americans struggling to make ends meet.
It’s corrosive to our economy and democracy.
This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪
“… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”
73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.
De PVV, die altijd de mond vol heeft over doen wat de kiezer wil, vindt dat we naar déze kiezers⤵️ juist niet moeten luisteren #burgerberaad. Dat hoor ik een PVV’er zeggen in NOS Journaal. Naar kiezers luisteren geldt kennelijk alleen wanneer ze zeggen wat PVV goed uitkomt.
Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
Burgerberaad geeft de politiek klimaatadvies en lesje samenwerken
Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits
“Hamnet” is a somber—and at times punishing—adaptation that draws on speculative work that imagines the grief William Shakespeare and his wife felt after losing their son, David Sims writes—and when the film is at its best, it “embraces the unknowability of this premise.”
In rampenfilms zie je vaak dat deskundigen de autoriteiten waarschuwen, maar die weten het altijd beter en doen niks. En dan komt de ramp.
Ik bedenk me nu dat dit, grappig genoeg, in het echt ook gebeurt. Kijk naar Wiersma. Gif en PFAS, vogelgriep, biodiversiteit: allemaal rampen waiting to happen.
