A kitten's pawsome home.
Science @ Leiden A little home for the science kitten directly in front of the Gorlaeus Building's entrance. The home has a sloped roof and is decorated with white paws on a dark bakground allover. It is placed in a small crate of ca. 30 x 20 cm2, a little bowl with water and canister of undetermined content next to it.

With the way that those 'AI' datacentres are churning through hardware, don't expect to buy RAM, storage or GPUs for anything approaching reasonable prices until said datacentres cease.

Feel free to guilt-trip anyone using 'AI services' like ChatGPT and Sora. You are doing this to us all.

The rule with questions in headlines is that they're always answered with 'no'.

The long answer is 'No, inference algorithms are no more going to become sentient than a digital game of chess will'.

When you consider how many bats are killed by nuclear power plants and how many by wind turbines, we absolutely should be building NPPs, not wind turbines.

Save the sky puppies~

Millions of bats are being killed by wind turbines, but smart sensors could help protect them | CNN
They’re a vital source of renewable energy, but wind turbines can be a danger to bats. Bat-detection technology could protect the flying mammals, while keeping wind turbines turning.

Every time when I see just how cripplingly incompetent and divided Dutch & German politics are, I find some small comfort in the fact that politics here isn't nearly as cooked as it is over in the USA.

Good reason to not become more like the US, I guess. Less populism, more education, etc.

Progress. Cartoon for Dutch daily newspaper @trouw.nl: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje...

#nature #urbanization #future #progress
Cartoon showing an urban sprawl with high rises and large roads clogged with cars. One building has the word 'PROGRESS' in big red letters on the roof, and all the buildings have large air condition installation on their roofs. At the end of the sprawl we see cranes building new buildings, while trees are cut down and nature is demolished to make room for urban expansion. The urban area has the shape of a giant head with a gaping mouth, with a large roundabout where all the roads converge forming the eye, while the teeth are formed by the cranes and the buildings under construction.

Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.

#climatecrisis #hurricane #extremeweather
Cartoon showing a theater, with the text 'theater of climate change' above the stage. On the stage, three skeletons are dancing in tutus The tutus are actually hurricanes and the stage is flooded with roofs of houses sticking out. To the side a poster reads 'Now playing: Hurricane Season'. Cartoon showing the Grim Reaper wearing a sash that reads 'Climate change' hurling frisbees shaped like hurricanes towards planet earth. Cartoon showing a giant hair dryer labeled 'Climate change' blowing towards the earth with such force that the planet loses its skin, revealing a skull underneath. Cartoon showing two giant skeletal hands emerging from the sky, holding a circular saw, with the blade shaped like a hurricane.

Proud and happy to be among the 15 nominees shortlisted for this year's European Cartoon Award!

If you have an affinity with political cartoons (and you're in the area), come to Cartoons Day in The Hague on 12 December: europeancartoonaward.com/2025/10/02/t...

#EuropeanCartoonAward
Poster showing the 15 nominees of the European Cartoon Award 2025. Cartoon showing Netanyahu dressed as a king with crown and scepter, wearing the Israel flag as a mantle. He is walking on a red carpet, which is actually a stream of blood left behind by the Grim Reaper walking in front of him. The red, bloody, carpet crosses several red lines that have been painted by a UN official, who is busy painting yet another one.
