If you're in Amsterdam this Sunday, you can enjoy some phone-free time and reconnect with yourself and others at the Offline Gardens in the Tolhuistuin.

Together with Christiaan I will host a conversation about the Homo Romanticus in 'The Pit'

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Julia Ebner: Door zich voor te doen als geestverwant van neonazi’s en transfoben drong onderzoeker Julia Ebner door in afgesloten online netwerken. „Het schokte me hoeveel geradicaliseerde jongeren ik...

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!
