it shouldn’t be lost on anyone that, for all the European rhetoric about opposing tyranny and being a bastion of democracy, a bunch of Minnesotans forming ad hoc neighborhood protection groups have stood up to Trump far more than any European power has or will.
BREAKING
President Trump has posted what appears to be a private message from President Macron of France where Macron says:
“I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.”

Why do I like sword & sorcery?

Its maps are blank, full of liminal spaces
Weird mysteries and great wonders lurk around every corner
It is the physical space of a dream
You engage with it in short bursts, ere that dream crumbles

'Engelenbrood', de memoires van Patti "Godmother of Punk" Smith is het beste boek dat ik dit jaar (voor)las. Smith weet zelfs tijdens de meest hartverscheurende momenten in haar turbulente leven de zoektocht naar schoonheid voort te zetten.
Voor iedereen met een rebellenbult.

Het ziet ernaar uit dat er een prachtig Chinees prieeltje binnenkort een eerbetoon verdiend, maar in de tussentijd mag Spookslots "next best thing" ook eens in de spotlights staan. Hoewel een uitbreiding van het orkest leuk was geweest... #Efteling #DanseMacabre #FansMacabre
