Amsterdam News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/07/27

Oxfam Novib’s TikTok prompt asking users to finish “I’ll start: what is a backbone?” spiraled into a toxic flood of hate directed at Dutch Defense Minister Dilan Yesilgoz, forcing the NGO to pull the post after 19 hours and issue a public apology. Critics call it hypocritical — an organization that champions equality and fights racism and sexism now faces backlash for enabling misogynistic abuse. Some argue Yesilgoz, as a woman of color, is already a target for scrutiny, and the post amplified

The club’s chairman, a devoted Stones fan, reached out to Jagger’s team with a cheeky trade offer: the jacket for an original Kickers shirt. Curious whether Jagger was inspired by their kit—or just had a lucky coincidence—they’re now holding their breath, waiting for a response from the rock legend. It’s a quirky,

2026/07/26

A major data breach at Odido exposed six million customers’ info, yet VodafoneZiggo saw only a tiny uptick in new users—far from a targeted customer grab. CFO Ritchy Drost stressed the industry’s reliance on trust, calling any exploitation of the breach unethical and downplaying the switchers as “fractional.” While VodafoneZiggo posted its strongest internet growth in six years, Drost insisted the gains came from broader market trends, not Odido’s misfortune.

Gas Generators Power Green Building | Amsterdam News

2026/07/26

An old Utrecht office building, De Nieuwe Tuin, is getting a green makeover—almost gas-free, ultra-efficient—but to plug it into the jammed electricity grid, they’re installing gas generators that only run a few days a year to prevent blackouts. It’s a clever, if odd, workaround approved by grid operator Stedin, who even uses similar generators for peak demand. Batteries were considered, but this was the only path forward.
