De minister: "Het is misschien niet waar, maar het werk gewoon beter om de racistische rancune op te stoken"

Ons amendement voor een belasting op privéjets -de meest vervuilende vorm van vervoer- is aangenomen. 🎉🥳 Een belangrijke stap om het groeiende gebruik van privéjets aan banden te leggen. Om grote vervuilers eerlijk te laten betalen. Hard nodig voor de aanpak van de klimaatcrisis!

Fried some mushrooms, garlic and a shallot. Whipped up a bechamel heavy on the emmenthal and mustard. Whacked it all on toast 👌🏼

So tired

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

(1) Write genre from outside of it in, not the inside of it out. (2) Try not to model yourself on the best of genre writers, only on the best of writers. Obviously your choices there will be subjective, but the risk with genre is it's a rabbit hole. (3) Don't try to undo genre using its own tools.

Zo moe

No, ChatGPT is not conscious. Are the journalists who keep writing these fucking articles?

Nice to walk the dog in the frost with the sun out, love these skies

This fucking psychopath

And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both. The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Aanbieders van medische thermografie beloven met een warmtecamera een ‘pijnloos’ en ‘stralingsvrij’ borstonderzoek dat ‘vroege afwijkingen’ zou kunnen opsporen. Experts waarschuwen al jaren dat het geen betrouwbaar middel is om borstkanker vast te stellen. @ftm.nl www.ftm.nl/artikelen/on...

Ondertussen heeft ook Trouw het nieuws gebracht dat Nederland honderden dakloze EU-burgers uitzet. Vorige maand onderzochten wij hoe deze praktijk is ontstaan: onzorgvuldige uitzendbureaus, amfetamines en een vreemdelingenpolitie die de randjes van de wet opzoekt. www.versbeton.nl/2025/10/de-s...
