Boring old (1969) he/him know-it-all. Despite that mostly friendly I hope.
Rotterdammer in the Italian region of Calabria - or maybe by now I'm calabrese with roots in Rotterdam? I write mostly in Dutch. I'm a leftie in more ways than one. Sometimes I blog on stationzuid.wordpress.com.

And especially for the Fascists in Dutch parliament trying to outlaw this very slogan: From the river to the sea, Palestine WILL BE FREE.
Try to shut me up, bastards. I dare you.

Ireland and Spain expected to reveal plans to formally recognise Palestinian state, reports say | Palestinian territories | The Guardian

Good for them! At least those countries have the balls to stand for what's right, and defy the US. Naturally, Israel will throw a tantrum.

"Since 1988, 139 out of 193 UN member states have recognised Palestinian statehood."

Thanks, I did not realize that they were two different topics.

What the slogan implies, is not up to you to decide.

The Netherlands, my native country, does not have a new government.

Dat examengedoe roept de vraag op wat ik me nog herinner van mijn eindexamenteksten, maar zonder iets op te zoeken staat me alleen een luistertoets/tentamen/examen Frans bij: een oudere man die in een grote zaal leek te zitten, wat het geheel niet makkelijker maakte.

@andrewstroehlein Google here in Italy comes up with the name Valeriu Nicolae, a writer of mixed Roma and Romanian descent. Perhaps that name can help you towards more info.

Friday question: When you are an air passenger, should you clap in applause when the plane lands?

edgeofeurope,
@edgeofeurope@mastodon.social avatar

@andrewstroehlein Over here in Italy this is seen as a sign that you're a "typical" southerner since people here are supposed to be uncouth, uncultured and unsophisticated.

In any case, landing the plane succesfully is the pilot's job. Nothing special going on there.

Links een foto van het ANP. Als ik zo'n foto maak (rechts), dan zit er perspectief in die flat.
Hoe doen fotografen dat? Gewoon editen met Photoshop?

Mijn foto. Balkons aan een opvallend hemelsblauw betegelde flat hier in Rende. Links is, naarmate de verdieping hoger ligt, door perspectiefwerking steeds meer te zien van een raam naast het balkon.

There Is a Sculpture on the Moon Commemorating Fallen Astronauts

The crew of Apollo 15 placed a small aluminum sculpture on the moon to memorialize those astronauts had died

(I really like the fact they also included Russian cosmonauts even though the battle was still on)

Mooie, soms iets te technische video over hoe RP verdween uit het Britse openbare leven. Wat altijd ontbreekt in zulke besprekingen is een internationaal perspectief, wat logisch is, maar het is in Nederland rond dezelfde tijd net zo gegaan met het nogal vreemde "toneelschool-Nederlands" wat iedereen sprak.
