O ik zie het nu, het maakt het wel duidelijker maar ook iets minder Mondriaan toch. Misschien een subtieler / lichter grijs? En misschien de lijnen wel door laten lopen? Ik weet het niet zo goed. Vind het wel een goed concept in ieder geval.

I’m a visual thinker, trump eating shit might be my best visual thought of today.

I don’t know much about how Belgian royalty behaves, but I argue it would be fair not to end this tradition until they fuck up. Royal allowances and costs of ceremonies etc aren’t that high if you consider the diplomatic weight royalties have in foreign countries, even more so in foreign monarchies.

+1 voor de derde, alleen jammer dat hij op klein formaat een stuk minder duidelijk wordt. Misschien kun je (Mondriaan keert vast om in zijn graf) de witte vakken die niet de lemmy zijn heel licht grijs maken of andersom. De middelste versie is nml wel veel duidelijker in het klein.

Denk dat de kleine versie veel vaker gezien gaat worden.

Goeie actie wel

Rip human life on earth

Image a greenhouse where they grow human feet, whole legs, loose eyes and a bunch of hearts next to another greenhouse where they grow arms that wave as you walk past, their fingernails perfectly groomed. You see a bunch of scalps with a youthful head of hair next to some carefully protected brains. Perfect teeth growing row after row. And as you look around you realise how happy people will be with the spare body parts you’re growing, and feel a deep form of gratitude your father got you in this new industry because thanks to him you are a rich man with a big house and a big car and a perfect wife.

I think we shouldn’t overlook the economic might that Japan and South-Korea have. The western world (probably without the us) might really benefit from relationships with south-east Asian countries, especially if China becomes more hostile in the future. Australia and New Zealand might not be world powers, but they could potentially play a pivotal role in finding a new balance.

I’m all for strategic autonomy and strengthening the European defence industry, but I think we also need do double down on our diplomatic ties with the rest of the world. As the article puts it: “Europeans and Asians who care about democracy and world order need to […] build new kinds of a partnerships among themselves and like-minded countries.”

Nothing official, maybe just conspiracy theories but two weeks a go 5 people got stabbed in Amsterdam (more on that: https://nltimes.nl/2025/04/01/terrorism-formally-suspected-amsterdam-stabbing-attack-left-five-wounded).

The Dutch government does consider it a terrorist attack, but says nothing about whether he acted alone or in connection to a group. These facts however make the the heads of some people spin.

• the man had various fake identities, i believe paper of different countries with different names but his own picture
• he turns out to be from an occupied part of Ukraine (Donetsk)

And maybe a coincidence, maybe not

• he was stopped by a British tourist who on video clearly has experience making a (civil) arrest since he is able to keep the man down all by himself without having handcuffs or anything to restrain the man. Some people say this must mean he is a British spy who was in on the plans of this man.

Be careful what you choose to believe though, this could well happen to be someone who is traumatized by war.

!europe@feddit.org has been around for a while now though.

You guys have elections?

I hope you reconnect one day.

The Dutch secretary of digitization announced plans today for creating a national cloud for public services. IT projects aren’t usually our governments strong suit, so who knows if this will succeed. At least they’re doing something.

Oi mate, come and rest yer head on our European bosom hehe

I now see you meant we shouldn’t give them privileges other countries don’t have either, I do agree with that. I most of all meant we should create the conditions that make it as attractive as possible to rejoin the EU. In some articles about a multi-speed EU they say the UK could join at the lowest speed in a similar way Norway and Switzerland are ‘members’ of the economic area, I think it’s more realistic the UK will first have an agreement like those two countries before they become a full/regular member again.

Guess I wasn’t the only one confused. But thinking the top 10 most polluted rivers are over 10 times as polluted as the European ones isn’t exactly good news. Well, for us maybe. But still.
