We’ve rebooked our weekend away.
We were due to go the weekend after my dad passed away. We cancelled it, of course.
But now, we’ve decided to get our plans back on track and now looking forward to a weekend in Amsterdam.

Er komen tot en met 2035 geen nieuwe #datacenters in #Amsterdam én ze mogen ook niet verder uitbreiden, tenminste: als het aan wethouder Zita Pels ligt. Zij wil voor datacenters geen ruimte meer vrijmaken op het #elektriciteitsnet.

Het gemeentebestuur van Amsterdam maakt zich zorgen over grote drukte in de stad tijdens Koningsdag. Geadviseerd wordt het centrum en andere drukke plekken in het stadscentrum te mijden en #Koningsdag zoveel mogelijk ‘lokaal’ te vieren.

- Schimmelwoningen in Amsterdam krijgen tóch tijdelijk lagere huur -
"Sociale huurders die kampen met langdurige schimmel in hun woningen door bouwkundige problemen krijgen tijdelijk een lagere huur. Dat hebben de Amsterdamse woningcorporaties bekendgemaakt.”

Thoughts on moving around central #Amsterdam from a brief tourist
There are basically 4 ways to get round in Amsterdam:
Public transport
Bike
Foot
Car
The public transport is excellent. No need to pre purchase tickets even, just tap in and tap out with your credit card and you'll be charged the minimum for your trips. Works on everything. Combined with a little walking, this has you covered. Almost all tourists should do this.
Bike is the famous one. All the locals ride bikes everywhere. Bikes can go almost everywhere, you can always park them, and the infrastructure is fantastic. But both a local bike shop owner and a tour guide advised me against this, and I listened to them. Riding in Amsterdam is serious business, not a leisure activity. Other riders expect you to know what you're doing, and will be pissed at you because you don't. Seriously pissed, not jokingly pissed. Intersections are well designed... for people familiar with them. For locals, those being supervised by somebody who knows what they're doing, or the dedicated cyclist prepared to be humbled. Not recommend for most people.
Foot is an interesting one. Central Amsterdam is small. You can walk just about anywhere in 30 minutes. It's also very space constrained, though, which probably lead to the bike culture. They have made different compromises in the allocation of that space than most places, giving more space to bikes and much less space to cars. But in many places, especially in the very centre, pedestrians are still squeezed. Walking along the canals, for example, is often unpleasant due to lack of space and the proximity of fast moving bikes. The addition of dedicated cycling lanes everywhere also doubles the jeopardy at crossings. Being a pedestrian in Amsterdam can often be stressful.
Car: Didn't try this, and I don't know why you would. Unless you absolutely must because... you're a delivery driver? Or... you live there and need a car to go elsewhere? Just don't. There are few cars in central Amsterdam. It's not made for it. It won't be fun. It'll take forever to get anywhere, and you won't be able to park when you arrive. Don't do this.

Cops are the same pigs everywhere.
The only difference is that some of us know it and don't kid ourselves that we are free when in fact we live in a neoliberal shithole.
