Just found this quote and want to tape it to my brain as I wallow in regret over stuff I said:

Verdere krimpflatie door cacaoprijzen: steeds meer chocoladeleestekens in de schappen
De stijgende cacaoprijzen zorgen voor steeds meer krimpflatie. De ene producent is slinkser dan de andere, maar sinds dit jaar liggen er voor het eerst zelfs chocoladeleestekens in de schappen.

One of the people killed by Soldier F was a man who stepped out to help another of his victims as he lay dying in the street. He waved a white handkerchief as he did so. Soldier F shot him in the head. His name was Barney McGuigan and today his family had to listen to a judge acquit his killer.

This is going to seem very random but I miss how the old bird app would have worked brilliantly for this:

It took 90 years to complete. But, in 2011, scholars at the University of Chicago finally published a 21-volume dictionary of Akkadian, the language used in ancient Mesopotamia.

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

Laten we #HetIsGeenFamiliedrama groot maken. Ik ben het echt spuug en spuug zat dat er gem. elke 8 dagen een vrouw vermoord wordt in Nederland (nu weer Gouda) door een partner, ex-partner of iemand die hen begeert en we dat bagatelliseren. Geen drama, gewoon moord: #Femicide!

Where is the patronage today for art, tailoring, craftsmanship, and public buildings? Why are new elites so allergic to any sense of beauty?
