And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

Dear people of the UK, this Prize is for you! In 1946, the British founded the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. 80 years on, NRW says "Thank you", presenting its highest award, the State Prize, to the people of the UK, recognising the deep friendship between the state and the UK.

UK in a Changing Europe @ukandeu.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

A rather sad announcement from @anandmenon.bsky.social on the future of UK in a Changing Europe. ukandeu.ac.uk/announcement...

UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) was founded 12 years ago. We hired our first member of staff on the day of the 2015 election, the outcome of which guaranteed that there would be a referendum on EU membership. The subsequent period has been tumultuous, yet, throughout it all, we have done our utmost to be a source of impartial, research-based analysis.
We were initially supported by the Economic and Social Science Research Council (ESRC), who generously funded the organisation for over a decade. Their foresight in recognising the need to bring social science to the attention of external audiences in this area was impressive.
Our ESRC funding ended in April 2025. Since that time, we have kept going courtesy of the generosity of King’s College London and donations from numerous other sources including the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, Amazon Web Services and the Spanish Government. I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have contributed to the organisation’s longevity.
Sadly, it is now time to bring down the curtain on this act. UKICE will cease to operate at the end of this year. This is – for us at least – a sad occasion. However, we will soon be able to inform you of the exciting ways in which our work – blogs, reports, lunchtime seminars and more – will continue. The website, containing its rich treasure trove of blogs, reports, videos and the Brexit Witness Archive will, of course, remain accessible thanks to the generosity of the Policy Institute at King’s College London.
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished over the last decade and of the way we have assessed the Brexit process, the development of the United Kingdom since 2016 and the evolution of UK-EU relations. UKICE has attempted to bridge the gap between social scientists and what some people call the ‘real world’. We have shown a new way of doing social science – engaging, accessible and impartial. While it would be too much to claim to have shaped the debate, I g…

I guess the members of the Nobel committee enjoy being able to have a bank account and email, so they didn't give the prize to the ICC itself.

But today, as these same judges are sanctioned, and their institutions are attacked, we need people of courage, vision and determination – qualities that 2026 peace laureate Navi Pillay demonstrates in her work on the bench.

Wat is dit nou weer voor logica? Daar worden de grondrechten wel heel drastisch bij een (blijkbaar) private onderneming op het bord gelegd. (De uitgeschreven uitspraak in de zaak Wakker Dier v NS is gisteren pas gepubliceerd. Ik was nieuwsgierig wat de basis was van hun claim. Dit is het.)

Ik denk dat politici als aanjagers en prominente deelnemers van het publieke debat meer ruimte moeten krijgen om hun mening te uiten, maar omgekeerd ook meer moeten accepteren. Dat zie je bijvoorbeeld ook terug in de rechtspraak over VvMU en laster.

Martin 马丁 Holterman @martinned.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Kamerleden moeten vrijwel onbegrensd hun mening kunnen geven. Al die aangiftes tegen PVV’ers hoeven van mij ook niet. Maar het werkt beide kanten op. (En voor u begint, ik kijk nooit naar VI en stem strak in het centrum van de politiek.)

Martin 马丁 Holterman @martinned.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026

Dat hangt, zoals gezegd, van de context af. Als iemand dat zegt terwijl hij met een groep Hell’s Angels tegenover me staat, zou ik dat wel bedreigend vinden.

Martin 马丁 Holterman @martinned.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026

1. Hier wordt helemaal niemand bedreigd. 2. Ik zie niet in waarom het bevorderlijk zou zijn voor een zinnig debat om het door idioten te laten kapen. Soms is negeren de beste oplossing.

Martin 马丁 Holterman @martinned.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026

Ik vind dat je uitspraken in hun context moet bezien, en dat deze uitspraak noch inhoudt dat Derksen zelf iets zal doen, noch (in context) dat iemand anders iets moet doen. En ja, ik vind dat kamerleden zich meer moeten laten welgevallen dan anderen.

“Zomaar iets roepen” lijkt me anders wel een redelijke samenvatting van het businessmodel van dat programma. En dat is belangrijke context voor de uitspraak waar iedereen over valt. Hij zit daar geen toespraak voor te lezen.

Martin 马丁 Holterman @martinned.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026

Bij een bedreiging, wat dit evident niet is. Derksen zegt niet dat hij iemand geweld aan zal doen, en je kunt ook niet in redelijkheid volhouden dat hij anderen oproept om dat te doen.

Martin 马丁 Holterman @martinned.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026

Ongetwijfeld neemt Derksen deel aan het publieke debat. Maar dat betekent nog niet dat kamerleden ook op hem moeten reageren, en al helemaal niet door naar de politie te rennen.

Martin 马丁 Holterman @martinned.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026

Ik weet niet of dat zorgvuldige debat bevorderd wordt doordat kamerleden naar de politie rennen als iemand weer eens iets roept op televisie…

1. Ik heb liever niet dat ik het eens ben met Johan Derksen. 2. Dit is evident geen bedreiging. 3. Kunnen we allemaal eens ophouden met constant aangifte doen als weer eens iemand iets gezegd heeft? De politie heeft wel wat beters te doen.

The chair of the legislature of Saxony-Anhalt is elected by secret ballot. All we know is that the AfD got 48 votes, and that that is four more than the number of seats that the AfD and the BSW have together. But it seems reasonable to suspect that the other four were CDU.

There’s massive amounts of red tape that are caused by immigration control and the hostile environment and its biggest advocates are the very politicians who complain about excessive regulation. Enormous costs for employers, landlords, universities.
