In Den Haag ging het weer de hele week over asielhysterie, terwijl zich stilletjes een klimatologische ramp voltrekt.

Het stilvallen van de Golfstroom zou catastrofaal zijn voor Europa. Toch durft dit kabinet niet de keuzes te maken die noodzakelijk zijn voor een groene toekomst.

They have one last conversation as they walk back to her bus stop. They walk by a store called "OMG SHOES" with "WOW" written right below.

Nederland blijft de dossiers van burgerslachtoffers van het bombardement in Hawija negeren Ruim tien jaar nadat bij een Nederlands bombardement in het Iraakse Hawija 85 burgers omkwamen, wil Defensie de slachtoffers nog steeds niet compenseren. Het zou onmogelijk zijn te achterhalen wie er ...

Voor wie nog niet las, toch even doen.

Brekelmans, zijn voorgangers én opvolger spraken als ministers van defensie keer op keer over hoe het onmogelijk is om slachtoffers te achterhalen.

Hele goede onderzoeksjournalistiek en één trip naar Irak leert: dat kan wel.

When August and Christine Got Coffee (Part 3/4) - Gator Days Characters Christine - Alligator - Just moved into town and is trying to meet people. August - Alligator - A single guy working in IT at a tech start up. Has a lot of trouble talking to people. Transcript Panel 1 August and Christine are out on a coffee date but Christine has been pretty tense. We still can't see what August's shirt says because he's blocking it with his coffee. We'll probably never know what it says and we have to make peace with that. August: You don't like quiet places? Christine: They give me too much room to think. Panel 2 August sips his coffee as Christine explains. August's shirt is unblocked! But the bottom part is still out of sight. We can only see the word Classy. Christine: Crowds are easier. I can get lost in a crowd. No thinking, just doing. Panel 3 While August happens to enjoy places with less people around, he can relate to that uncomfortable feeling. You know what makes me uncomfortable? Not being able to read someone's shirt. It is the opposite of classy. August: Crowds overwhelm me. It's hard to keep track of everything. Then I get awkward. Panel 4 Christine is starting to feel a little more relaxed. Christine: Yeah, but you're cute when you're awkward. August looks away sheepishly. And they're both facing away from us so once again we don't know what the shirt says. Fine. It's fine. I'm okay. I didn't even want to know what it says. It's probably going to be something anticlimactic anyway.

When August and Christine Got Coffee (Part 2/4) - Gator Days Characters Christine - Alligator - Just moved into town and is trying to meet people. August - Alligator - A single guy working in IT at a tech start up. Has a lot of trouble talking to people. Transcript Panel 1 Christine and August are on a coffee date. The place they're getting coffee is pretty quiet and it's making Christine feel a little uncomfortable. August has noticed this. August: Are you okay, Christine? You seem tense. Panel 2 Christine gives August a reassuring smile but decides to be truthful about how she's feeling. Christine: The quiet in here is a little unnerving. Could we sit outside. August smiles back and has no problem with sitting outside. And now we can see more of his shirt. The top part says "Classy". What could be written on the rest? This man needs to stop sitting in positions where we can't read his shirt. It is incredibly rude. Panel 3 August and Christine have moved to a nearby park. It's another place that's pretty empty. The two of them are sitting on a bench with their coffee and silently looking around. August is holding coffee in front of his shirt so we still can't read the bottom part. Panel 4 Christine doesn't like the silence and speaks up suddenly. Christine: Now I'm tense and cold. August has lifted his coffee slightly and we're able to see a little more of the writing on his shirt but it's not obvious what is says. Seriously, why even wear a shirt with writing on it if people can't even read it?

When August and Christine Got Coffee (Part 1/4) - Gator Days Characters Christine - Alligator - Just moved into town and is trying to meet people. August - Alligator - A single guy working in IT at a tech start up. Has a lot of trouble talking to people. Transcript Panel 1 Christine has arrived at a coffee shop where she's going to have a coffee date with August. She's feeling a little apprehensive about it. An old man is sitting and reading the paper. Or he would be if there were words written on it. Seriously, there's nothing on the page. Is he a spy? Perhaps we will never know. Christine (thinking): Not a lot of people here. Feels too intimate for a first date. Panel 2 Christine sits down and starts thinking about things. Christine (thinking): Maybe this is a bad idea. I could reschedule. August can be seen through the window. He's wearing a shirt with writing on it that looks like it will be conveniently blocked from sight until the last part of this multiparter. He's heading inside the coffee shop. Panel 3 Christine is caught up in her thoughts. She feels uncomfortable with how quiet the coffee shop is. Christine (thinking): It's too quiet here. Is he still coming? I should stay. What if- August: Hello! Panel 4 Christine is suddenly pulled out of her thoughts. Christine (thinking): THANK GOD! No more sitting with my thoughts! Christine: Hey!

Hoe creëer ik ophef, door de NOS.

Voedingscentrum zegt: 100 gr (ongeveer één gehaktbal) aan rood vlees per week. Plus ander vlees.

Smeerlappen.

Precies het probleem, dat het bij verontwaardiging blijft.

Het genocidale regime van Netanyahu heeft lak aan oproepen en veroordelingen. Dat zien we al jaren in Gaza en nu ook in Libanon.

Waar blijven de sancties van dit kabinet? Of komen Jetten en Berendsen ook niet verder dan verontwaardiging?

Ja want voor de teelt van peulvruchten (of groente, of fruit, of noten) heb je geen boeren nodig. Dat weet iedereen.

Palestijnse kinderen gemarteld in de Israëlische cel: rapport Save the Children wijst op onhoudbare situatie Kindermishandeling: Zo’n 350 Palestijnse kinderen in Israëlische gevangenissen worden gemarteld, seksueel misbruikt en uitgehongerd. Sinds 7 oktober 2023 is hun situatie enorm verslechterd. Een explosief rapport hierover van Save the Children, aanvankelijk onder Israëlische druk niet gepubliceerd, komt nu alsnog naar buiten.

Geblinddoekt, geslagen, uitgehongerd, misbruikt, vernederd, geïsoleerd van ouders en familie, vervuild, met honden bedreigd, Noord-Koreaans 'berecht'.

'Rechtse politici in Israël en kolonisten rechtvaardigen dit door te stellen dat alle Palestijnse kinderen terroristen zijn, inclusief baby’s'

Zagen we nog maar eens ergens mensen met een eerlijk hart en eerlijke mond, een ruggengraat en een geweten.

Transcript Panel 1 Iris and Stuart are showing their boss some fancy new numbers on a fancy tablet. The tablet makes the numbers feel extra fancy. He seems pleased by them and explains what he wants to happen next. Catrick: Good numbers! Let's pivot our telecommunications to touch base with core demos. Stuart: Yes, sir! Panel 2 Catrick begins to leave and finalizes his instructions. Catrick: Circle back after my bandwidth consultation. Streamline those CRMs. Stuart: On it! Panel 3 Iris and Stuart stare at the door. Iris has her usual cranky expression while Stuart is grinning far harder than usual. This is a good sign that Stuart is not having a great day. Panel Iris decides that she needs to ask the big question. Iris: What exactly does he want us to do? Stuart: I DON'T KNOW! Stuart is master of corporate speak but his powers useless in the face of someone is using most of the words incorrectly.

Dit is geen staakt-het-vuren, maar grootschalige escalatie door 🇮🇱 in Libanon.

Het massaal bestoken van burgerdoelen - ook onder het mom van aanval op Hezbollah - zijn oorlogsmisdaden.

In Gaza komt Netanyahu weg met genocide zonder enige politieke consequentie, nu ook Libanon?

We didn't deserve this day.

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.

Kara (Supergirl) pinked out with bunny ears and basket of eggs all ready for Easter. And, oh! Streaky found a surprise, feathered friend! Good job, Streaky.

Hoppy Easter! 🩷🐰🐣

Die foto... Maanden geleden nog bij een voordracht merkte ik het volgende op:

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Israel killed 3 Indonesian UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon.

They were wearing blue helmets.
They were in UN uniforms.
They were peacekeepers.

Israel bombed them anyway.

Not a peep in Western media.
Not a word from the international community.

Kick Israel out of the UN.

I have no idea why Venmo thinks we should by default know how our friends are sharing money.
