Universities are a place of wonder, curiosity and resistance.

This world is in desperate need of all of these things.

Update: there were 5000 of us today. And a student and I even made it to the main newspaper pic. 💅

The mass protest of 25000 people has failed to convince the cabinet to reverse the disastrous cuts to higher education in the #Netherlands. (social.edu.nl)
 

The mass protest of 25000 people has failed to convince the cabinet to reverse the disastrous cuts to higher education in the #Netherlands.

The #FNV, together with all #unions, has therefore decided to go on #strike nationwide. These cuts must be completely off the table!

On Wed, Feb 11 at 5pm, employees of the University of #Amsterdam are organizing an action meeting to discuss how the #strike will take shape.

I'm sure people will be wearing their most radical underwear tomorrow.

Re-publishing this, because I rewrote the post a bit.

Target audience is people who like to talk about "negative externalities" and the need to "internalize" them.

Although at this point, it might make strategic sense to use the language of neoclassical economists to push for (e.g.) a carbon tax, we should recognize the fundamental flaws in the underlying world view.

Today the @EUCommission backs down and fails to curtail Twitter: in c/[email protected]

Ok. I would say the main question should be "are there sufficiently accessible alternatives to the usage of Twitter in the communication between companies and customers?"

I guess in practice, at least in Europe, there are often multiple ways to reach out to companies? (Twitter, contact form etc.) So in that sense it makes sense?

But the fact that Twitter is also used (much more) to share memes should not matter?

(Disclaimer: I haven't looked into this case in too much detail).

@abff08f4813c @OpenTech_AUC Just curious: what do you mean "not its primary purpose"?

Carbon is the work of the devil.

Last Friday, during a class about the short and long term organic #carbon cycle, a student raised his hand:

"So, 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons...", 666....carbon must be the work of the devil."

Maybe this can help us sell carbon neutrality to religious conservatives.

This little plant, identified as Equisetum arvense by a colleague, appears to have grown right through one of the metal posts of the bridge of Amsterdam University College (#AUC #UvA #VU). (web.swift.surfsara.nl)

I think it should be the mascotte of all students at Science Park:

"Those who persevere against all odds find the light at the end of the tunnel."
