Ah, het is weer fietshelmdag. Benieuwd wanneer auto-snelheid-omlaag-dag is. Of betere-fietsinfrastructuur-dag. Of geen-auto's-in-schoolstraat-dag. Of leg-je-focking-telefoon-weg-als-je-in-de-auto-zit-dag.

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W

The debate over whether to take Trump literally or seriously is over. He has now learnt how to be the tyrant he always wished to be.
That took a while. But, with the help he has received, he is there. His administration is engaged in a comprehensive assault on the American republic and the global order it created. Under attack domestically are the state, the rule of law, the role of the legislature, the role of the courts, the commitment to science and the independence of the universities. All these were the pillars on which US freedom and prosperity rested.
Now, he is destroying the liberal international order. Soon, I presume, Trump will be invading countries, as he proceeds to restore the age of empires.

Volgens aggregator FiveThirtyEight vinden voor het eerst deze termijn meer mensen dat Donald Trump het slecht doet dan er vinden dat hij het goed doet.
Grafiek die toont wat mensen van Donald Trumps werk als president vinden. De recentste stand toont dat 47,9 procent vindt dat hij het slecht doet en 47,6 procent dat hij het goed doet.

There is no such thing as de-risking. There's only making it someone else's risk. In most cases, that 'someone else' is the tax payer.

Min of meer wat Krugman eerder in zijn blogpost schreef: alleen al de dreiging van hoge tarieven maakt van VS een minder betrouwbare partner en dat op zich heeft een negatieve impact op economische relaties met de VS. Bedrijven en consumenten gaan op zoek naar alternatieven.

Waarom zouden beleggers toch zo massaal naar passief beheerde indexfondsen gaan? 🤔

@stevemagness.bsky.social I really enjoyed your book 'The science of running'! Are you aware of a similar book for cycling?

Great (and scary) visualization of 2024 daily temperatures compared to prior years by the BBC today. Evocative of the iconic Joy Division album cover from 1979: www.bbc.com/news/art...

There is no better time than right now to abandon Twitter. Make it useless. Worthless.

Er is geen technologische quick win om de Europese energieprijzen te drukken, laat staan naar niveaus zoals in de VS te brengen. Kernenergie is te duur, hernieuwbaar intermittent. Maar ons gasverbruik reduceren, dat kan wel helpen. Mijn column in DS vandaag www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241... /
standaard.be
Er is maar één manier om onze energieprijzen te doen dalen: iedereen van het gas en aan de warmtepomp!
Onze hoge gas- en stroomprijzen vergen doortastende maat­regelen, schrijft Joannes Laveyne. We moeten zo snel mogelijk ophouden onze woningen en gebouwen met gas te verwarmen.
