Another stabbing in the city. This time a guy got stabbed by a woman after allegedly harrassing her friend. Which, if true, based of course.

This Palestinian Resistance fighter just leveled up the hand delivery game. So fucking awesome.

There’s this absolutely brain dead tv show in The Netherlands on the most stupid tv channel there is but one of the people in it is called El Che. That’s his first name and I’m only slightly jealous.

So Jeff Bezos can rent out the entire city of Venice for his wedding and all the media are so quirky about it like it’s not a fucking bizarre thing to do

I often wonder what life in the DPRK is like and today I figured: someone must have uploaded some google maps pictures. And there are indeed some photos from ground level DPRK and it’s really cool to see.

Spanish should be the Lingua Franca of the Americas, seeing as it’s the most spoken language there. An Argentinian or Ecuadorian should be able to go to Milwaukee or Saskatoon and talk to the people there in Spanish. I hate English language imperialism.

Dear comrade Kim Jong Un watching you have fun in the water slide that was prepared with care for every citizen.

Thought I had about liberal individualism: It’s well-illustrated by the scene from the movie Office Space, where the boss is chastising the employee about her flair and people who do the “bare minimum.” Because of policy, he can’t just tell her to wear more flair than the minimum, but he still very much wants her to do so, so rather than getting the policy changed (which would be “restrictive” and go against the concept of “being yourself”), he tries to convince her through repeated shaming and browbeating and talking around it. The whole thing centers around him trying to convince her that she wants to be someone who wears more flair and comes off very passive-aggressive because it has no real understanding or respect for her as a person, only this sort of facade of respect that is grudgingly given.

I think it also fits well with the notion about “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.” Because it helps show how underneath liberal individualism, there is this aggressive desire for conformity and adherence to a strict way of being. But the norms of liberalism say you’re not supposed to directly pursue that, lest you become “authoritarian”, so people find passive-aggressive ways to pursue it instead. End result being you get this confused cocktail of mixed messages, where you’re simultaneously being told you should live your life how you want to live it, while also being told you better only live it within a very narrow framework.

Maybe the only upside of this NATO meeting is that the world is now able to see the walking clown show that is Mark Rutte

Currently having a sticker war with some nazi shit in my hood. They keep placing stickers that say stuff like: hand in hand back to your own land. The weird thing is that these are Dutch org stickers for some reason.

Anyway they are very unfortunate that I have probably a thousand commie and antifascist stickers that I can keep placing on top of it. I just hope to catch the person in the act one day.

I’m really toying with the idea of moving to Utrecht. I fell in love with the city, and would like to live there. Although I’m not in close contact with people who live there and the official housing site only lets me seek housing in my own area. Gotta love the housing crisis. I don’t mind staying in Amsterdam but want to leave Utrecht open as an option.
