Het werkt! Sophie Straat is de hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer. Maar we moeten nog even door om de racisten te verdrijven.

Ach joh, gewoon de gordijnen dicht. Niemand die het ziet. 😉

Wat ook perfect werkt is gewoon het hele album luisteren en ondertussen door de keuken dansen. open.spotify.com/track/4EIM7Q...

Ff lekker mansplainen dat al die Sophie Straat goede bedoelingen alleen werken bij het juist toepassen van de truc.

Er gaat een oproep rond om veel en massaal naar Vrijheid, Gelijkheid, Zusterschap van Sophie Straat op Spotify te luisteren. Als protest dat een anti-AZC nummer (gegenereerd door AI) op 1 gaat komen en dat willen we niet.

Wij zijn met meer. Doen jullie mee?

A couple weeks ago a friend was telling me about someone she knew who had been on maternity leave, and said she had taken "the full year." I said, "A whole year? Wow, what kind of fancy job does she have that gives her a YEAR of leave?" and my friend looked surprised & said, "... welcome to Canada?"

Music and modern languages courses suspended at University of Nottingham In a statement the institution also says it is

Very sad to see the major university in the East Midlands 'suspending' (i.e. planning to close) key courses like Modern Languages and Music and scaling back Nursing. It's a scandal that top universities are just being left to go to the wall after years of underfunding.

Indeed. Supranationalism (which is NOT repeat NOT the same as federalism) was the point from the very beginning.
And why? So France and Germany would never be at war again.
People who call that small can, respectfully, p*ss off.

(Also glad for people like David who explain this stuff.)

Also entweder ist PostVac einer "leichte" Erkrankung, die man durch Placebo Therapien in Griff bekommt, außer dass man danachals Nebenwirkung Bitcoin oder NEM-Influencer wird. Oder es sind, wie schon oft vermutet Nocebo-Effekte oder Nebenwirkungen einer Infektion... bsky.app/profile/fake...

Occasionally on my work laptop a black box pops up with the words "Windows Powershell", and I think "Yes, it probably does."

Yes NATO is crucial. Yes the EU lacks power. But it is so reductive to think that peace comes only from who has the most rockets, while forgetting why countries would use these rockets in the first place. Centuries of Europeans killing each other, not trusting each other. All that stuff runs deep &/

How glib and superficial and frankly ignorant can you be to dismiss this. How dare you suggest that France and Germany being close allies and friends is a small or even (in the words of many British colleagues) “weird“ and dispensable achievement.

I have had enough of it.

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

Screenshot Spiegel.de: Wie die Ministeriumsspitze selbst die Lage in Syrien einschätzt, zeigte sich bei der Planung einer letztlich gescheiterten Delegationsreise im August von Beamten nach Damaskus: Die Teilnehmer sollten ausschließlich in gepanzerten Fahrzeugen unterwegs sein und jede Nacht zurück in den Libanon fahren. Übernachten in Damaskus: So etwas sei viel zu gefährlich.

The German word ‘Pferd’ and its Dutch cognate ‘paard’ are horses of mixed breed parentage.

Their common ancestor came from Latin ‘paraverēdus’ (substitute post-horse), a word composed of an Ancient Greek element and a Gaulish one.

Zoom in on my new infographic to learn everything about it:

Workers strip rose petals to make perfume, Grasse, France, 1915. Grasse, located in the Provence region, was the main hub of France’s perfume industry, with local factories processing flowers grown in surrounding fields. The rose petals were typically used to produce essential oils and absolutes through methods such as enfleurage and distillation. During this period, perfume making was still a labor-intensive process, often carried out by women who worked long hours during the flower harvest season.
