Dutch singer, songwriter, musician focusing on the rich Irish music trad.☘️ EU citizen. Brexit was a crime and we know who did it. FPTP creates a dictatorship of the largest minority, it divides, rewards liars and leaves way too many unrepresented.

De @nos heeft nog niet door dat Hegseth een doelbewuste oorlogsminister is. Er is niets defensief aan de VS.

Kies Leven Jezus Christus .nl vloog over ons heen tijdens een heerlijke strandwandeling. Sommige mensen schamen zich nergens voor.

Shout NO! to #ChatControl. This is mass surveillance and undermines a free society. Imagine an extreme govt having these advantages over its people.

Some pictures of an old tourist map of the #Bollenstreek with places like #Sassenheim, #Voorhout, #Warmond and #Leiden, The Netherlands. I have no date, but "bombed area" makes clear that it's post WWII.

And Amazon Web Services alone is in use at 1.3m companies, acc. to Thomson Data. Quite likely that they depend on AWS. To name a few: Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Airbnb, McDonald’s, Kellogg’s, Reddit, Facebook, Netflix and Linkedin. More via the link: www.thomsondata.com/customer-bas...

My fiets ride today went partly along the man made canal from the city of Leiden to Haarlem, which was dug to have a smooth way of public transport for both people and mail. Its first use was 1657, when this part of Holland was a republic of 7 provinces, after a rebellion against the King of Spain.
