Spending a peaceful Sunday celebrating books and the importance of reading and writing. In this regard, I'm sharing a favourite passage from Sagan's Cosmos.

✨Books are indeed proof that humans work magic.✨

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it, and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic. Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980) —Carl Sagan, Cosmos

KASSA wordt wegbezuinigd en dat is echt heel erg. daar werken mensen -soms decennia lang- aan belangrijke verhalen voor de consument, veelal in de onderklasse. banen weg, maatschappelijke impact weg. onze omroep, en daarmee ook de mensen (!) die het maken, wordt in het hart geraakt.

🧵Spotted From a Cafe in Aotearoa New Zealand:

Two men (20s? Brothers?) are tucking into hearty breakfasts.
One says to the other: "Did I tell ya I'm thinkin' of gettin' married."
The other looks aghast: "Why?!"
"Why not?"
"Cos Aunt Belinda's gonna come!"
A long contemplative silence ensues. (1)

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Landbouw veroorzaakt meer schade dan het opbrengt, zeggen nu ook onderzoekers van Deloitte in NRC. Het ligt niet aan de boeren, zegt een deskundige, het ligt aan de consumenten: die willen niet extra betalen voor duurzame oplossingen.

Komt ook door rol supermarkten: www.roosvonk.nl/de-supermark...

Hoe langer de kabinetsformatie duurt, des te groter de schade door landbouw aan milieu. Lees meer daarover op de voorpagina van de NRC.
Wanner zou dat doordringen tot de fractievoorzitters van de grootste partijen in de Tweede Kamer?

WTF - Elon Musk kan straks eigenhandig bepalen of mensen in Europa mobiele satellietdiensten kunnen gebruiken. Hij heeft de in Europa de radiofrequentie gekocht waar die diensten gebruik van maken. Hij kan die dus uitzetten om politieke druk uit te oefenen. 😟 www.volkskrant.nl/economie/elo...

Er is een wooncrisis. Maar op de een of andere manier lijkt de woede zich vooral te richten op één bepaalde groep, namelijk statushouders. Mona Keijzer, de minister van Wonen, die wil gemeenten verbieden om statushouders nog voorrang te geven. Tijd voor Diep Duik Donderdag! #LUBACH

Breaking up the doomscrolling with a little GOOD news!

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep naturally past dawn. Daylight Saving Time makes us wake by alarm in darkness. Tell lawmakers to ditch DST! 🔗👇
