Is er eigenlijk enig animo voor (een Bluesky-versie van) Twitterbookmas? Ik betwijfel of er op Twitter zelf iets gaat gebeuren, en alvast van mijn bubbel zitten de meeste mensen nu hier.
Geef jullie mening eens.

The unicorn listened intently. Somewhere in the forest, someone innocent was singing.
The unicorn followed the sound, found the singer, and laid down with their head in the singer's lap.
"bottles of-"
The young orc fell silent, smiled shyly, then resumed singing.
"Beer on the wall..."

The witch took her hands off the patient's body.
"First of all," she said with absolute conviction, "there's nothing wrong with you."
"The doctor-"
"Said you must be either man or woman?"
"That it's black or white, no grey."
"Nonsense. Every colour in the rainbow is between black and white."

"What treasure did your adventure yield?" villagers would ask on her return.
"None," she would laugh, "except memories, scars, and a favour owed me by a wolf!"
Or a dragon, toad, sow, or gorgon.
"When will you call in all the favours owed you?"
"Only when I must," she said.
She never had to.

There was a 'womp' sound from the yard. I looked out the window.
Where the large pile of leaves had been, a dragon sat.
"Oi!" I called.
"The hoard was unguarded," the dragon said. "I claim it."
Every damn year. It'll leave once the leaves lose their golden hue. Meanwhile, I can't order takeaway.

![[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]
1
SOCRATES:
Plato..
PLATO:
Yes Socrates?
2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?
PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates
3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?
PLATO:
Um, yep
4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then
5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]
SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?
6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel
7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.
PLATO:
No.
8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]
So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?
9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really
10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?
PLATO:
‘Spose not.
11
[Bleak pause]
12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock
SOCRATES:
Yeah

"How much faster?"
"Infinitely."
"Where will we go?"

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"
Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.

It’s really not fair to pit men like Trump and Netanyahu against a diminutive peace activist of twenty-two like Greta Thunberg. They’re way out of their depth.

Gisteren zag ik op een beurs mensen van Kids & More, die doneren LEGO aan kinderziekenhuizen.
Ikzelf kan nog enkele weken genieten van een bedrijfskorting op LEGO.
💡 Idee
Wat als we met z'n allen geld ophalen en met die opbrengst + de extra bonus dat doneren aan die lieve mensen?

The space elevator project was funded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space.
After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.
