One really nice potential of using Allmaps layers in Felt is the ability to plan a tour over a historical map and see your own position while walking (button on the bottom right). It doesn't seem possible to rotate the map however. cc Bert Spaan

Allmaps now supports MapLibre GL MapLibre ⚡⚡ See observablehq.com/@allmaps/mapli… for an interactive example. (There are plugins for OpenLayers and Leaflet as well!)

Again an excellent critique of the letter of the Dutch university rectors. At TU Delft we claim to train “responsible engineers” but when they get responsible this is now set aside as being emotional. nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/06…

“Meanwhile students’ rightful protest of what they recognize as the university’s complicity with Israeli universities is systematically translated into a vocabulary of emotions, thereby translating a fundamentally public question into the language of private feelings.” 👏

Reminds me of MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail:

Sending Clinton to Michigan to say Israel predates Islam might not be too effective. In fact Arab Americans have now been so insulted by every Democratic leader they would have to be masochists to vote Harris

The worst display of racism and paternalism: why would only young Palestinians or Arab Americans be distraught? Identity politics takes the place of universalism: everybody takes care of their own.

Because anything and everything Israel and Israelis do is by definition legitimate and an act of self-defense, Western media and politicians have now collectively determined that racist, genocidal football hooliganism is in fact rather cute and admirable. Because Israelis are

En ondertussen in Gaza werden de laatste bombardementen opgedragen aan de fans van Maccabi. "Waarom zijn de scholen dicht? Er zijn geen kinderen meer," zongen zij in Amsterdam. Als hooliganisme vermomde verheerlijking van misdaden tegen de mensheid. ohchr.org/sites/default/…

Once again. Western media should be investigated for the role they are playing in obscuring Israel's atrocities. In other contexts, intl tribunals have found media figures responsible for complicity, incitement, and other intl crimes.

Not only do the Israeli club’s supporters have a reputation for genocidal racism (their motto is “Death to the Arabs”, supplemented with the chant, “May Your Village Burn”), but many of those who traveled to Amsterdam have during the past year served in the Israeli military’s

THREAD: The mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema, today released a 12-page report on the events in Amsterdam during the past week. It provides the most detailed account we have thus far, and corrects some details in my earlier posts on the matter. For example, and contrary to what I

SHOCKING - If anyone needed further evidence of what weaponization of antisemitism means, look no further. This is a prime example of how morally corrupted, deeply racist and politically weaponized “the fight against antisemitism” has become in some places.

I keep seeing claims that the new racism and nihilism coming from Maga and some European politicians goes against Western values. This is not the right way to think about it. Obviously racism, slavery, colonialism are very central to the West’s history. But…

Hundreds of thousand of children starved to death, bombed to death, maimed, made orphans, born with congenital diseases, stunted, their bodies and brains destroyed in first year of life, no school, no water, fear, terror, loneliness and darkness.
