I like Governor Newsom's initiative: Don't get mad and gnash your teeth and pull out your hair, do something about their insane policies. Cal. has the right idea, hopefully more states will follow.

Mega heat pumps are coming. It’s great to see that so many projects are now underway around the world.
There’s a real competition on who builds the biggest heat pump.
Technology has come a long way and keeps getting better.

Delft, december 1675. Schilder Johannes Vermeer, bijgenaamd ‘De Sfinx van Delft’ overleed. Vermeer is bekend om zijn intieme huiselijke taferelen met een fenomenale lichtweergave. Het oeuvre van de schilder is klein: slechts 36 werken van zijn hand zijn bekend. 1/3

Nadat Vermeer was gestorven, raakte zijn naam in de vergetelheid. Lange tijd werden zijn schilderijen aan andere, toen wél bekende kunstenaars toegeschreven. Totdat in de 19de eeuw Vermeer werd ‘herontdekt’ en hem voorgoed onder de internationale aandacht bracht. 3/3

Koekkoek is een Nederlandse familie die een groot aantal kunstschilders heeft voortgebracht. Met 16 schilders in vier generaties wordt de familie beschouwd als de grootste schildersfamilie ter wereld. Dit schilderij is van Willem Koekkoek (1839-1895) en geeft een winters Culemborg weer. 1/2

Hell yes, another fantastic victory after Democratic candidate Eileen Higgins was elected Mayor of Miami flipping it from red to blue and becoming Miami’s first Democratic Mayor in 30 years. A hopeful sign for things to come.

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%
Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential.
The authoritative World Inequality Report 2026, based on data compiled by 200 researchers, also found that the top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90% combined, while the poorest half captures less than 10% of total global earnings. Continue reading...

I'll never understand how so many people got conned into hating the idea of universal healthcare.
Say you pay 20% more in taxes.
Your employer pays you more because no insurance.
You never see a doctor, lab or out of network specialist bill again.
You have a low copay for drugs.
Isn't that worth it?

Weetje: ‘Meisje met de Parel’ is tegenwoordig wellicht één van de duurste en een van de beroemdste schilderijen ter wereld, maar dat was in de 19e eeuw anders. Verzamelaar A.A. des Tombe kocht het schilderij in 1881 voor 2 gulden en 30 cent. Sinds 1903 is het werk in het bezit van het Mauritshuis.
