A few facts the keep in mind: - It will always be Gulf of Mexico, not Gulf of America. - It will always be Denali, not Mt McKinley. - It will always be LGBTQ+, not LGB - It will always be Twitter, not X If those two transphobes won’t accept preferred pronouns and name changes, neither should we.

#TheBrutalist is such a brave and captivating movie. It is full of meaning, beautiful shots and perfect acting. They all work together to do what brutalism does the best: directing focus to see things that is actually worth seeing. The film also excels in its timing: boy we need focus in 2025.

Five yrs ago, Notre Dame caught fire that burnt its roof to ashes. So it was only fitting for Pharrell Williams to sing 'Happy' on the reopening ceremony with this line in the chorus: "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof". Notre Dame has never felt more touched.

The restoration of Notre Dame is one comforting evidence of resilience. Makes you believe that beautiful things can last. youtu.be/t_Dn3LA9q6w?...

Plastic recycling is nothing but a false consolation for us that we can carry on overconsuming. Plastic recycling is simply not working: only 9% of plastic waste is being recycled. We should rethink the things we consume. www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

Dear streaming services: let's be honest: a 6-episode-long 20-minute series that you make available all at once is not a series, just a very boring film lacking the consistency to be made into one piece. Dear viewers: you don't have to settle with it. Read and watch the classics.

Unity. Solidarity. Peace. Dignity. Freedom. Europe. Today, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Many of its segments can be found all over Europe. What once was solid is now scattered, and what once was divided is now one. #mauerfall35 #BerlinerMauer

This autumn feels different. It has such beauty and elegance. As if Nature was saying: "this time I mean it. This is going to be the last." A whole lot of disappointment is wrapped in this feeling. But not more than what nature can console.

We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.

“So it wasn't the economy, it wasn't revitalizing manufacturing, it wasn't wages, it wasn't jobs, it wasn't the stock market, it wasn't health care. It was hatred. That's what did it.” 🇺🇸😓

It's increasingly clear that the people who make generative AI don't like films, don't like books, don't like art of any kind, and don't understand why anyone else does.

Het fav. nationale voetbalteam van mijn vader was Nederland. Hij was dol op totaalvoetbal, ik denk dat het hem deed denken aan het Hongaarse Gouden team. Ik ben niet zo'n voetbalfanaat, maar ik ga de wedstrijd van vandaag kijken ter nagedachtenis aan mijn vader. Het is een goed besteedde Vaderdag.

(1/2) If Dave Brailsford was able to revolutionize the British Cycling Team by aggregating marginal gains, what if my biggest obstacles are my marginal _losses_ in life: invisible design flaws and minuscule bad decisions that accumulate to failure? #marginalGains #selfhelp #selfimprovement

Als kind waren radio en tv (en boeken) alles voor mij. Bij gebrek aan een goede familie- en sociale band heb ik de wereld samengesteld uit de kleine stukjes die ik uit de media krijg. Nu is er iets veranderd. Ik vind het moeilijk om er iets in te vinden dat mij interesseert. Ligt het aan mij?
