@allo That's a gorgeous dog that I gladly share my name with.
@metaldream @Heyting In the end more than 5000 people gathered on the city's main square.
@metaldream because it does not show on Mastodon, I'm sharing the spot-on comment by @Heyting
Today employees of the #UniversityofAmsterdam #UvA are on #strike to protest against the budget cuts for education that are pushed by our far right government.

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. 💅

#DW Fact check: False
The video by De Graaf actually shows supporters of the #Israeli soccer club #Maccabi #TelAviv attacking locals around #Amsterdam Central Station."

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).

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.

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."
