Mocht je 'Flow' nog niet hebben gezien, het is echt een aanrader. Aldus mijn kat.
A cat sits on a wooden TV console, attentively watching a television screen that displays an animated cat with glowing yellow eyes. The real cat’s posture and position make it look as if it is interacting with the character on the screen. The room has a cozy ambiance, with warm lighting, a scenic wall mural featuring trees and a cloudy sky, and gaming controllers placed on the console.

Are you sure about that?
This is a screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) posted on March 1, 2025, at 15:24. The tweet discusses Hollywood’s portrayal of Russia as the “bad guy” in movies and argues that Americans have been conditioned to see Russia as an enemy. She criticizes U.S. financial and military support for Ukraine, claiming it has resulted in over one million deaths and global economic inflation. She advocates for diplomacy, lifting sanctions, and fostering trade relations with both Ukraine and Russia to achieve world peace and prosperity. The tweet has 1.2 million views, 8.2K replies, 7.2K retweets, 35K likes, and 869 bookmarks.

Moet zeggen dat zijn manier van praten er wel op vooruit is gegaan /s
This image shows a tweet from a user named Chris Klomp (@chrisklomp.nl) that reads: “Nou, kruip lekker op de bank met die autist. Mij niet bellen.”

Ik had ook even op zijn website gekeken, maar dit is toch echt journalistiek onwaardig. Mijn god, zeg…
The image appears to be a screenshot of a comment, tweet, or post attributed to “Chris Klomp.” The text includes Dutch content referencing “Adolf Hitler” and highly offensive and hateful language about Jewish people, including references to deportation and work camps.

De elektrische auto verscheen al meer dan 100 jaar geleden op de markt. Het verschil tussen de realiteit en wat Tesla-fans geloven is soms wel erg groot.
A tweet in Dutch by Nicole van den Hout (@nvandenhout) that reads: 'Als iedereen ze nou in de verkoop gooit dan kopen wij heel snel weer een Model S. Beste auto ooit. Zonder Musk was er nog geen enkele elektrische auto op de markt.' The tweet includes a profile picture and a 'Translate post' button at the bottom.

Mogelijk ligt het probleem niet alleen bij Samsung-tv’s. Ook de LG-applicatie heeft moeite met verbinden, al werkt deze wel na een paar pogingen.

Happy #Caturday!
The image shows a close-up of a cat's face. The cat has a distinctive brown and white fur pattern, with large, alert green eyes and whiskers that are visible. The cat appears to be in an indoor setting, with a blurred background behind it. The image captures the details and expressiveness of the cat's features.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Melden kan altijd. Zo kwam ik een tijdje terug deze tegen waar ING ook niet blij mee was.
The image is an advertisement for a financial program called “Trade 2.0 Avapro” by Pure Solar. The text is in Dutch and roughly translates to: “Now the program is available to everyone! Start with just 200 euros - and let the program work for your income!” The advertisement includes an image of an ING bank card with the name “SAM RODGERS” and a large green checkmark. It also claims that by activating with 200 euros, one can receive 4500 euros on their card every week. The text at the bottom encourages readers to “Read the full version” and includes a URL to the website “[redacted].com”. This ad is likely a scam, promising unrealistic financial returns for a small initial investment. It’s important to be cautious and research thoroughly before engaging with such offers.

That time of the week again #caturday
The image features a cat laying on a couch. The cat has a relaxed posture, lying comfortably. It appears to have a coat with a mix of colors, possibly indicating a tabby or calico pattern. The cat’s surroundings on the couch suggest a cozy and homely environment, with some cushions or blankets adding to the comfort. The cat’s expression is calm and content, typical of a cat resting in a familiar and safe space.

Eerst wist je niets van het bestaan van een dino-podcast, nu heb je acht afleveringen geluisterd en een boek besteld 😅
The image is a cover of a book titled “De Dino Revolutie.” The subtitle reads, “Over hun favoriete dinosauriërs en de nieuwste inzichten.” The authors, Gijs Rademaker and Maarten van Rossem, are pictured with a dinosaur model in the center of the cover. The cover design is predominantly yellow with green text, and it is published by Nieuw Amsterdam.

Misschien moeten bedrijven niet overal AI voor inzetten.
De tekst in het beeld is in het Nederlands en lijkt een bericht te zijn van een chatbot. De belangrijkste punten zijn: - De gebruiker wordt bedankt voor zijn bericht. Het bericht geeft aan dat de gebruiker communiceert met de "allernieuwste chatbot van ING" en dat ze nog aan het leren zijn. - Het bericht vraagt of de gebruiker verder wil gaan of liever wil spreken met een menselijke medewerker. - Vervolgens geeft het bericht instructies voor het deblokkeren van de creditcard via de Mijn ING app of de ING scanner. Tekst in het Nederlands die zegt "Neem contact met ons op". Daarnaast is het Sluiten-icoon te zien.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ik ontdekte dit bij toeval door een keer ver naar beneden te scrollen bij de instellingen. Anders had ik het nooit geraden dat Buienalarm onderdeel was van iets groters.
A dark-themed app download page titled 'Our apps' showing four weather-related applications: 1. Weeronline - Personal weather, with a blue icon showing a sun with radiating lines 2. Weerplaza - Weather expert, with a blue icon showing a cloud and sun 3. Onweeralarm - Global lightning radar, with a white icon containing a blue lightning bolt 4. Moopmoop - Tripweather, with a white icon containing a purple teardrop or map pin shape Each app has a 'Download' button in blue text on the right.

Good morning cat people 😸
A tabby cat with a slightly grumpy expression lies nestled in a fluffy gray faux fur blanket or cushion. The cat's face shows distinctive stripes and piercing green eyes, while its body is partially buried in the long, shaggy fibers of the plush material.
