Ik ben kandidaat voor GroenLinks-PvdA Houten, nummer 6 op de lijst voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen op 18 maart. Ik zet mij in voor betaalbaar wonen, een gezonde en groene leefomgeving, en met name voor betrouwbare en goede zorg dichtbij.

I do not forgive. Nor forget. and if anything radicalized me on topics like free software and digital rights, then it is this story. Kid just wanted taxpayer funded researchpapers to be free and publicly available.

Three-part bone comb set: a narrow, ornamented central case with dense ring-and-dot decoration, flanked by two single-row combs with very fine, partly broken teeth, all hanging vertically from a simple round metal suspension ring against a dark background.

Two finely crafted bone combs from the early 6th c. AD, found in a grave at Dittigheim. To protect their delicate tines, they were carefully kept in a custom-made case. In the Early Middle Ages, long, well-groomed hair was more than a fashion choice, it was a symbol of status and identity. 1/2

#EU #Elonmusk #Europe #Nationalsovereignty #TweedeKamer #verkiezingen This column should be translated. It shows that what is important barely gets attention. It is not the EU that is a threat to nationale sovereignty. De nerds werden weer genegeerd, en dat gaan we merken www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Niet veel mensen weten dat er in Nederland een uitstervende groep van de meest leuke mensen van het land bestaat. : stripmakers. Vandaag kwamen we weer eens bij elkaar als vroeger en het was als vanouds. Windig, De Wit, Van Dongen, De Jager, Retera, Van Tol maken van iedere grap een grol.

RIP Tom Lehrer - the day he announced his items were public domain on a website, we mirrored it. Thank you for your service

How great was Tom Lehrer? In 2020, he moved his entire catalog into the public domain because he felt he'd made more than enough money off of it.

Oh no. Tom Lehrer gone. At his great age, it’s not a tragedy, I know, but it just does feel bad not having his genius in the world.

Evidence from Tinshemet Cave in Israel suggests behavioural uniformity across Homo groups in the Levantine mid-Middle Palaeolithic circa 130,000–80,000 years ago - Nature Human Behaviour The Middle Palaeolithic of southwest Asia witnessed interactions and knowledge sharing between archaic and modern humans ~130,000–80,000 years ago. These interactions led to increased behavioural comp...

"Findings indicate a uniform behavioural set: similar lithic technology, increased reliance on large-game hunting & socially elaborated behaviours (intentional burial, ochre use in burial contexts). We suggest this is due to intensified interpopulation interactions between Homo groups 130–80 ka."🧪

Part of a page of a medieval manuscript that had a hole cut into it. Underneath it is a restoration of a large decorated B, which would have been in this place, and which was restored by Eliza. The letter emulates the medieval style of script, but the image inside it is in a late 18th century style, showing a verdant tree standing against a green bucolic landscape.

In the 1790s a London woman named Eliza Denyer developed a modest reputation as a restorer of medieval manuscripts. She was forgotten by scholars and, in one case, her restorations were deliberately replaced by a man’s. I recovered her story & tracked all her known work here: tinyurl.com/2ktztx2e
