Echt bizar. Ik hoor vuurwerk én helicopters.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar

Onze arme dieren. Ik haat vuurwerk.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the YEAR!

Rest in peace you absolute legend of an artist

Trying to think of an artist who brought more worldwide joy and coming up dry.

She was responsible for one of the funniest moments in human history. RIP

Aww leuk. Hoorde ook dat Shell de Schone Lucht Award gaat uitreiken aan Tata.

Wilde vogels zijn niet per se oorzaak vd vogelgriep epidemie in Limburg, zegt @thijskuiken.bsky.social NOSJournaal. Goed om ook even stil te staan bij de exorbitante aantallen, tot over de 100.000 kippen per “boerderij”. Wilde dieren worden juist de dupe van deze waanzin die mensen hebben gecreëerd.

"The same names and countries appear again and again: the US, the UK, the former USSR, Israel, Saudi Arabia. We see the same disturbing patterns. We are left with a narrative about rape, espionage, and threats; a narrative of missing pieces." --HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

I've been thinking about this a lot--about wealth and recreation. The rich used to sell us diminutive versions of what they could afford that we could not. Dolls, dollhouses, model trains and cars. Now we don't even get the object. We get an image of the object. No, we RENT an image of the object.

We geven er nog één knal op! De Partij van de Brokjes sluit binnenkort hun actie voor dierenarts A'aed in Gaza. De rekening is open tot het nieuwe jaar. Er kan nog wat bij hoor. Jij een oliebol minder, zij wat brokjes meer? Delen = lief. animalheroes.koalect.com/nl-NL/projec...

Wat is een goede (maar simpele) platen en cd-speler met bluetooth? En met boxen?

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

The dogs are good every week. Dat is wel geruststellend.

Two stories side by side in WashPost

Spuistraat, januari 1967.

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files. But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

harrowing breakdown of Katie Johnson's account of Trump and Epstein's sexual exploitation of her and many girls like her. she was only 13 when it began. katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

Zolang we racistisch tussen aanhalingstekens schrijven, zal het racisme welig tieren.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

‘Buddo’ - a rare representation of a human figure from the British Neolithic, dating to around 2900-2400 BC. Discovered at Skara Brae in the mid-C19th, it was re-discovered amongst the archaeological collections at Stromness Museum in 2016. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Dit was een heel bijzonder gesprek met @mennosedee.bsky.social van @nrc.nl, over mijn onderzoek naar schoonheid en hoe dat ineens wel heel persoonlijk werd. Met geweldige foto's van Wendelien Daan. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Dit klinkt strafbaar

Dit klinkt als een goed idee

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Lol

300.000 kinderen groeien op in energiearmoede. Schimmelwoningen, astma. Deze winter is er geen Noodfonds, zoals vorige jaren en voor volgend jaar gepland. Wij deden een voorstel: gebruik het klimaatgeld dat niet is uitgegeven voor steun. Helaas: dankzij JA21/VVD/D66/CDA geen warme kerst.

Mijn motie van wantrouwen tegen minister Wiersma wordt alleen gesteund door de SP, Volt, Partij van de Dieren en Denk. De rest van de partijen in het parlement zorgen ervoor dat ze lekker blijft zitten.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Oh man

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Horrific, disgusting, inexcusable, antisemitic

1. BREAKING Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is referring to the Bondi Beach massacre as a “targeted attack on Jewish Australians,” and says that “an attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian.”

Wow ♥️

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors. The full requirements will end tourism in the United States. Below is the full, mind-blowing list. 🚨THEY. WANT. YOUR. DNA.🚨 1/
