This morning I began the project for the city, which I mentioned before. I'm biking 40km per day, amounting to 560km in total. That would take me to Berlin if done in one go. I'm not doing that, but I could do it virtually!

The russians proudly planted their flag near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, Ukraine—until a Ukrainian drone politely reminded it that it wasn’t welcome by promptly shooting it down.
Moral of the story: The only flag getting VIP treatment in Ukraine is blue and yellow

The Helmet of Coțofenești is a golden helmet from the 5th century BC, found in 1929 in Romania. It probably belonged to a Dacian king or noble. On loan from the National History Museum of Romania to the Drents Museum in Assen, the Netherlands, ...

Last night I was watching Predators from 2010 - just some mindless action flick. There's a scene in which Adrien Brody's character is leading the other characters through the jungle, using a machete. But @dannytrejo.bsky.social's RIGHT THERE IN THAT GROUP.
Talk about a missed opportunity...

On the 27th I'm starting with the municipilaty project again, where I'm checking garbage containers and whatever people illegally place beside it. Like last autumn, it's a two-week project of two daily bike routes (early morning and evening) of 20 kilometers, to create a picture ...

[1/2] I finally started watching Marvel's What If...? series. I'm halfway through season 2, and I must say that episode 6 of that season, titled What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World? was very interesting in that it was almost totally spoken in Kanienʼkéha, the Mohawk ...

Yesterday we celebrated, but today is the real day: it's Kitty's birthday! Woo-hoo!
(our six-year-old niece had arranged the fireworks on Kitty's desert all by herself - by asking the staff - as a surprise she didn't really manage to keep a secret ;))

So, what's up? Mostly the lingering after effects of the flu, to be honest. Coughing a lot, while my wife does the same, but also has no voice. Which is a bit of a problem if you're a teacher.

My activity here has been on and off, and that's because it's hard enough keeping track of two social media accounts (first Shitter and Facebook, then Threads and Facebook), let alone three. But it seems like becoming more active here is inevitable. So, we'll see what happens.

Dus Nederland gaat het arrestatiebevel tegen Netanyahu uitvoeren, en ondertussen is Geert boos dat mensen vinden dat 'ie niet naar Israël mag om daar illegale nederzettingen te bezoeken en het regime van Netanyahu te ondersteunen? Iets wringt hier.

Let's agree that this is enough snow for the rest of winter, okay? 10 centimeters in mid-November is a bit of a surprise.

Die coalitie kwam er omdat de NSC zo naiëf was te denken dat ze het extremisme en gebrek aan beleidskunde van Wilders en co kon temperen, en wellicht zal zij nu het einde ervan bespoedigen. VVD en BBB roken slechts macht en zullen dus niks ten nadele van Geert doen. [2/2]

Dat de NSC er langzaam maar zeker achterkomt dat regeren met de PVV het legitimeren van racisme betekent, is hoopgevend. Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe de partij het aankomende partijcongres doorkomt, en wat dat betekent voor de coalitie. [1/2]
