Belangrijk en zeker in deze tijden. En laten we ervoor zorgen dat de politie het hoofdstuk Twitter/X kan afsluiten.
Bluesky staat met 350.000 gebruikers in Nederland ver af van X met 2,8 miljoen gebruikers. Maar die trekken daar weg en zoeken alternatieven. De politie blijft actief op X, maar test Bluesky, of ze via dat platform specifiek de media kan bereiken.

Op dit moment wordt in de Tweede Kamer de strafbaarstelling van illegaliteit besproken.
Het zal vooral gaan over de hulp aan illegalen. Maar het hele idee is pertinent verkeerd
Geen mens is illegaal!

You open the door,
Let the wolf in,
Thick fur,
Burrs and snow,
Others bolt and hide,
But you see it,
Outside the window,
Your darkness,
Waiting,
You let it in,
It does not bite.

Female praying mantises are notorious for eating their mates during or after sex. Now, scientists have discovered a dwarf mantis species in which males avoid this fate with an elaborate dance performance.

What a fucking gut punch it is to hear about Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. The man made the gold standard of damn near every genre he approached. Coming of age movies all try to measure up to Stand By Me, mockumentaries to Spinal Tap, rom-coms to When Harry Met Sally.

Rob Reiner, for a while there, was one of the most artistically and commercially successful directors in Hollywood. He had a run of films that knocked the roof off. With STAND BY ME, he gave voice to Stephen King’s work that we hadn’t seen since CARRIE and SALEM’S LOT and rarely since.
