Several hundred activists occupied the construction site of a planned Microsoft data centre in Amsterdam on Friday, protesting the technology giant's alleged role in facilitating Israel's genocide in Gaza, as well as the environmental impact of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The meteorological body says this is due to El Niño-driven weather changes in the planet’s tropical regions. These conditions weaken “the ability of forests and other vegetation to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.”

'Activists have stormed the site of a Microsoft datacentre being built in Amsterdam, as the backlash to the social and environmental harms of the AI boom spreads across Europe.
Protesters from Geef Tegengas, a Dutch direct action group, clashed with police while breaking into a construction site at Westpoort, Amsterdam, where some members climbed a crane, lit flares and tied helium balloons to equipment.
[...]
Big tech and government are racing ahead with large-scale datacentre development despite significant public concern about the impacts on local communities, natural resources and other industries,” said Owen Espley, campaign coordinator. “Many datacentre developments are planned with limited transparency or scrutiny, while communities across Europe are being shut out of decisions that will shape their local environments and futures.'

Hi all, this Sunday is the Rode Lijn demonstration again at Museumplein #Amsterdam. For those that are planning to join and would like to walk together, we can join the Culturele Boycot block, meeting at the corner of Teniersstraat and Museumplein at 13:00 (the block can be recognised by the boycott banner) #palestine #cukturalboycott #endthegenocide

"Join our mass action against the Microsoft data center on November 6! 🔥
From Switzerland, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Germany and Belgium, groups are uniting in Amsterdam because data centers (or in this case even hyperscale centers) are rising everywhere.
Data centers use all our resources, they are used by Microsoft to support the genocide on Palestine, they let Al take over our jobs and brains, and it is all being decided behind closed doors. They're just a toy for the Tech Fascist millionaires to win the race of the biggest, fastest, richest and most genocide supporting.
But we will NOT allow this! We are reclaiming our land, our cities, our right to have a say in our futures and to kick all Tech Fascists out! Join us together with thousands of others, and block these fascist black boxes. This weekend, everywhere in Europe there will be demonstrations and actions happening to stop new data centers.
Digital infrastructure is used for oppression. Together we can take back the power of Big Tech. On November 6 we stand up against Microsoft.
NOT IN AMSTERDAM,
NOT ANYWHERE!
Are you joining us?"

Now on my way from Bruxelles to #Amsterdam to catch my EuropeanSleeper night train there, as one does.
This #ECD9547 is very comfortable. It takes just 2 hours, 30 €.
Ventilation seems good, with 1100 ppm CO2 even after the wagon almost filled up in Antwerp.

Dutch police stopped a car on the A4. Inside they found two living pythons hidden in the center console. Not Python running in the terminal console, but real snakes. They also found mice for feed, a goldfish, and joints. The driver was under influence. All animals are safe now in a shelter.

Odin’s at the Amsterdam marathon! Yes, many of the competitors smile at Odin as they pass, and one lady gave up a few seconds off her result to stop and pet him. There are party boats blasting music up and down the Amstel. One of them’s just a guy in a rowboat with a trumpet and a hand crank organ tooting Aan de Amsterdamse Grachten
While I was typing the alt text, two more runners pet him

Gisteren - op #dierendag - was #PvdDAlkmaar op de Dam in #Amsterdam voor de #DierendagDemonstratie.
Met honderden mensen gingen wij de straat op om de dieren - die geen stem hebben - een stem te geven.
Dieren die vastzitten in de #bio-industrie.
Dieren op weg naar het #slachthuis.
Dieren die in laboratoria als #proefdier worden gebruikt.
Dieren die geplukt en geschoren worden voor hun vacht voor #bontjassen en #truien.
Zij lijden enorm en kunnen niet voor zichzelf demonstreren.

The local overnight parking lot filled up with more Pizza Tour cars from China. I did run into one of the travelers, and she told me Pizza was just a cute name they could all agree on for their team and it’s not an expedition to track down the world’s best pizza.
(But it should be, imo)
The gentleman driving this truck admired Odin but declined to pet him

Well you don’t see that everyday: Chinese plates in Amsterdam. The stickers declare they’re on a journey from Qingyang to Iceland

Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to get electrolysis, in Amsterdam, that isn't weird about transmasc people?
(I've already gotten at least 16 treatments of laser hair removal and it just doesn't work as well on me. I've had electrolysis before and it works great, but I've never gotten it done in Amsterdam.)

Oorlogen betekenen #ecocide met slachtoffers onder dieren. De #militarisering van Nederland bedreigt de restjes natuur in ons land. Onder het mom van 'defensie' mag alles... wie beschermt de dieren, de natuur, het klimaat?
