My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

Neon wil de schoolboekenmarkt opschudden door lesmethodes te maken die leraren zelf naar wens kunnen aanpassen. Toen het plan naar buiten kwam, was er veel bijval vanuit het onderwijs, maar er klonk ook scepsis.

Please, I am begging you, do not tell AI to translate for you. Do not just use a translate button on languages you can't read. Please ask a human being to help you. Machine translations are often close enough on a sentence level but that is NOT good enough for anything you take seriously.
"Use AI for translations"
Hey, who was doing translations before? How did we train AI to do translations? Who was the author of the translations that were fed into AI?
Ah, I see, another "ethical" use.

I am still baffled that supposedly serious media still report about the peace negotiations and the security guarantees as if they were real. It's like they are reporting about a rain storm when all they need to do is to look out the window to see the sunny weather.

Vol trots kondigde Defensie dit jaar een samenwerking aan met dronebedrijf Destinus. De omstreden oprichter daarvan heeft een spoor getrokken van mislukte start-ups met schimmige financiering uit Rusland. Dus waarom doet Nederland zaken met deze man?
