We live on the very very edge of Amsterdam, which is vastly more chill. The city center feels like a different planet. Here’s Odin in the chill zone; we didn’t take him with us because we knew we’d be going to very busy places we weren’t familiar with. (The audio tour begins by warning you that Amsterdam is full of ninja assassins on deadly silent electric motorbikes, so remember to carefully check every intersection visually) #amsterdam #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

I believe it’s only available in Dutch, but “Het Verhaal van Nederland” (The Story of the Netherlands) is a cool app — it’s a collection of audio walking tours that uses GPS to play the segment for what you’re looking at precisely as you come to it, at your own pace. It also tells things like “see the bridge ahead on the left? Take it, then go into the alley…” to minimize needing to check your map (until you discover your bridge has been deleted for the day to make way for a swimming competition)

We followed a loop beginning and ending at Amsterdam’s central station, through some very wealthy old neighborhoods, docks, and what used to be dozens and dozens of warehouses that have been converted to hundreds and hundreds of apartments.

We actually brushed against a random crisis — a lady was frantically trying to break into her brother’s house because he had gone unresponsive on the phone and wasn’t answering the door. We couldn’t help her except to check with her that she’d called the fire department, who showed up moments later to break in. Not long afterwards the ambulance left with the siren screaming, so I suppose they found him.

Compare this to #Amsterdam, where 7% of space is allocated for micromobility, and large parts of #Berlin, where 8% is set aside.

The authors conclude Montreal could double the space allocated to bike lanes (still just 3%) with no impact on automobile traffic flow.

Hey there, returning once more with the 3rd and final chunk from our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year, this time a couple of hours from right near the end of the day, so everything's getting decidedly ravey, but we're still chucking in a few favourites and curveballs alongside the remixed and re-edited classics - hope you enjoy!

In case you are into sailing or sail boats small, large or very large, new or old, Sail Amsterdam 2025 starts today.

Normally held every 5 years, because of Covid last edition got cancelled, so Sail is back after a 10 year period. This year it also coincides with the 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam, so all it set for a very special edition.

"Waar haalt het (geno-)CIDI het lef vandaan om ons te intimideren?"

"Mensen worden wakker. Steeds meer ogen gaan open. De lobby's weten het. Ze weten dat hun macht aan het afbrokkelen is, en dat betekent dat ze gevaarlijker worden."

"Onze taak is om stand te houden, om één te blijven, om solidair te blijven. Om overal en altijd de lobby en de medeplichtigheid te benoemen en te bevechten, en om een nieuwe macht op te bouwen. Een macht van menselijkheid, een macht tegen oorlog, een macht die de genocide stopt.

Let's fucking go."

"De demonstrant laat via zijn advocaat weten dat waar het Nationaal Monument voor staat, "teniet wordt gedaan door de houding van Nederland tegenover de genocide op de Palestijnen"."

Zo is het.

Zonder schoon geweten verdienen we geen schoon monument.
