Home page of the New York Times, which seems to be falling in behind the Big Liar - who has no right to salute the military. He dodged the draft twice, thanks to daddy. What a disgrace.

This year, I started actively using Intervals.icu for my bike training, and wow, it’s fantastic. It’s a wonderfully nerdy site with an amazing community forum, and it’s such a joy to dive into my stats. You can tell it’s built by people who truly care about creating a great training tool.

I yarn with expat Australian writer and director Simon Stone about his life and career ahead of his Korean-language The Cherry Orchard coming to Adelaide Festival.

Stone says he is “obsessed with Korean culture” and its “embrace of peculiarity and weirdness”.

Up close and personal, a meeting with the magnificent wolf. WHAT an experience! Seeing one of my favorite subjects to paint, so close, feeling its power but also its gentler nature, intelligence and enigma.
I was offered this opportunity in Langedrag Naturpark here in Norway. Definitely recommended!

Time for an introduction. I am a Dutch wildlie and paleo artist living in Norway. I work in traditional media, like watercolor, acrylics, markers and pencil. I try to bring animals close through my work.
I illustrated many books and magazines, and also exhibit my fine art 🎨
