Terwijl de vee-industrie sprookjes verkoopt, is de realiteit hartverscheurend.
We moeten werken aan bewustwording en een meer plantaardige samenleving, en dus ook een verbod op vlees- en zuivelreclames. Géén pr-praatjes die verhullen hoe ernstig dieren lijden. Wél het eerlijke verhaal vertellen!
Daarom zeggen wij: Minder sprookjes. Meer dierenrechten. Verbied vlees- en zuivelreclames. Natuurlijk. 🌱
Danke für die Erwähnung der Recherche. Hat mich ja schon gewundert, dass das so gar kein Medium sonst aufgegriffen hat 🧐 RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iwndj…
The best outcome would have been for Chrome and Android to have been spun out into non-profits, endowed with the cash Google has been paying Apple to avoid any more competition across apps/search/web.
It has not helped matters that neither DOJ, nor most civil society orgs (save @owa), could see through private-equity-adjacent logic to understand the public interest in these software projects. Own goals all around.
YouTube is getting “hundreds” of full classic Sesame Street episodes beginning in January 2026. New episodes will debut on Netflix starting November 10th.
Termination dust is creeping lower into the Hayes Range, with fall colors nearly at their peak across the tundra. I took this yesterday during our drive down to the Delta Mountains.
Netflix's mobile app now lets users create and share highlight clips from shows and movies, allowing precise start and end points alternativeto.net/news/2025/9/…
The image displays a Netflix interface for the "Clip a Moment" feature. At the top, the Netflix logo is prominently displayed in red against a dark background. Below the logo, a preview window shows a scene from a movie or show, featuring a young girl with a surprised expression, set in a dimly lit environment. The preview window is bordered by a timeline at the bottom, with a green start marker at 53:16 and a red end marker at 53:58. The timeline includes smaller thumbnail images of various scenes from the same content. On the right side of the preview window, there is a "Save" button. The overall color scheme is dark, with blue and red accents, emphasizing the interface's modern and sleek design.

"The average American is roughly 39 years old, the average voter 47, and the average member of Congress 57.5. But the age of the average donor surpasses even that."
This is not at all about age-ism. But about what a representative democracy is all about. The priorities of people as they age, do change and also with income/wealth.

OK, I need people to do better because this is just too evergreen in too short of a time for me to stay feeling good about it. (People shouted out a couple good examples that avoid these pitfalls. If you got more, yell them at me!)
Because I'm a fishist, I treated myself to a small piece of wild caught halibut. In the Midwest, this fish is hard to find and was priced at $29.98 a pound. TWENTY NINE DOLLARS AND NINETY EIGHT CENTS a pound for a wild caught fish. Mother of Zod, 🐬 💸

As I was losing interest in the magazine art and production (having did a stint of one whole year of Amiga Action front cover art in Illustrator every month) I was spending more time building up my own studio at home and my singer thought she sounded like Kylie #TOTP
I asked after seeing someone share the piece you wrote on why Wikipedia works, which was great, didn't realise you published on medium until I saw that
Der Hochsommer weicht langsam, aber spürbar. Solange die Nächte noch zweistellig sind, darf man nicht jammern, sagt eine alte Seglerinnenweisheit. Das kommt noch früh genug.
Aber die Selbstverständlichkeit ist gegangen. Die Selbstverständlichkeit mit der ich in Birkenstock und kurze Hosen geschlüpft bin die letzten Wochen. Ich habe letzte Woche sogar kurz eine Übergangsjacke angezogen. Mich dann aber gewehrt und sie wieder auf den Haken gehängt, an dem sich Schuster eine Seilbahn gebaut haben über das vor Kraft strotzende Sommerhalbjahr.
Ich weigere mich trotzdem, Anfang September schon von Herbst zu sprechen, wie so viele von euch. Hej, die Meteorologen sind faul, das hat nix mit Herbst zu tun, was sie so nennen — genausowenig wie zum Frühlingsanfang (leider).
Herbst, das ist für mich Nieselregen aus West, Schnöf und klamme sieben Grad.
Ich hab noch nie verstanden, wie man sich Anfang September sich schon Schals anziehen kann. Und Mützen in Laubfarben.
Der Hafenmeister ist gedanklich schon seit Ende Juni im November, dann ist für ihn die Saison vorbei. Ein Ziel, das er mit keinem anderen teilt.
Wir anderen ignorieren das Ende der warmen Saison und messen nun in Restwochenenden, in denen es nochmal „schön“ werden könnte, also noch einmal so, wie es bis jetzt selbstverständlich war — selbst im nordischen Sommer.
Dabei ist der stetige Verlust der Kraft nicht zu ignorieren. Eben noch bullenstark, merken wir, wie sich kühle Feuchte schon spätnachmittags über das Deck legt.
Es will mir sagen, dass ich meine Kämpfe wählen soll, haushalten, meinen Pfad wählen. Dem Fluss der Dinge folgen — oder vielleicht Dieter? — ohne Widerstand. Denn die Zeit des robusten Gegenhaltens gegen alles scheint vorbei zu gehen.
Suí steht für das Prinzip des Folgens – sei es einem Pfad, einem Mentor oder dem natürlichen Fluss des Lebens. Es zeigt die Kraft, die in der Anpassungsfähigkeit liegt.
Heitere Gelassenheit nennt Dieter das. Ich bin dann mal kurz weg: üben.
OK, so here's the plan. We'll launch you with a song loads of people will like but nobody will buy. Then we'll make sure you're inescapable with a fiddle-and-banjo Fleetwood Mac cover.
Sharon, Andreya, Caroline, you'll be the focal point of the band, everyone will love you. Jim, you'll be a punchline on SM:TV when they invent it later in the year.
Mr. Jean must have bumped into the All Saints in the dressing rooms, and somehow ended up wearing one of their camouflage jackets.
The radio edit was all melodic and dramatic, none of this rapping. Wyclef is a great live performer, but I wonder how many casual viewers this will have attracted.
Mr. G is on a massive disco floor, with a silver satin shirt draped around his body. Three couples gyrate on the dance floor behind him, and massive coloured lights pulse on the video screens.
Lene with the costume of *every* trans catgirl who keeps the internet running - long hair dyed black at the back, scarlet at the front, all over a barely-there and perfectly demure top-and-skirt combo.
Props to the tambourine player repping the Maple Leafs.
Another chance to enjoy the huge band, all squeezed onto the smallest corner stage.
Gawp at the brass quartet playing each other's instruments! Shriek as the bass is tuned by the drummer's stick! Chortle as the keyboardist is modulated by a guitarist.
Whatever happened to Imaani? Stayed in the music industry, including a top twenty cover of "Freak like me" - if only she'd set it to a Gary Numan song, eh.
Imaani later worked with the funk-jazz combo Incognito, and released a few soulful tunes.
She's happy to perform at Eurovision concerts, and quite rightly so.
From a Eurovision legend to Daz Sampson, who takes the riff from a classic tune, speeds it up, adds a banging beat, and tops the mix with a rap worthy of Wyclef Jean.
Carl Douglas, the original singer, is also on stage to mime the "whoa-oh-oh"s.
Imaani finished second in her Eurovision; Daz will barely make the top twenty in eight years' time.
"What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?" Changing Rooms was absolutely off their face that week!
Anyway, I promised an explanation of the samples. You'll probably know "Can you feel it" by The Jacksons, which does most of the heavy lifting - the chugging backbeat, the chorus's lift and flourishes.

The lyric comes from "Wanna drop a house (on that bitch)" by Urban Discharge, a pumpy-thumpy hard house tune from 1995 which achieved reasonable success in clubs.
Original vocal was by "She", later known as Heather Leigh West; she remained active in the dance scene into the 2010s.

I was going to make a crack about how this band had a lineup of Caramel, Dairy Milk, Twirl, Wispa, and The Eclair That's Always The Last One Left In The Box.
Except that the chocolate heroes won't be launched until next year. Bother.
Having lost their combat jackets to Wyclef Jean last week, the Saints are on a little podium in the middle of the crowd, which gives some unusual shots and clear sightlines.
Less convinced by the shot direction, at one point panning along the line so that we're looking at Saints waiting for their cue.
And, just when we're worried they'll stop, they play both sides of the song.
Jorinde is the singer, David and Frank on the keyboards. I have no clue who the goons dancing are.
"Insanity" was the apotheosis of happy house, uplifting music with a fast beat. Massive in the north, huge in Scotland, but derided in That London. If you wanted to hear this, you had to buy the single, radio would not play it.
We're into the section of stars who I might have had a crush on at the time... and I now don't recall why.
"Sunshine on a rainy day" had just missed the charts in summer 1990, eclipsed by such classics as "Turtle power" and Timmy F***in' Mallett. Where are those chancers now, eh?
I walked into the woods again today to escape everything and be with myself, surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature 🌲🍂.
There, without distractions, I simply breathed, moved slowly, and existed in a calm that made me feel vividly alive and free 🍃✨.
Hugging a tree as the golden sunset warmed the leaves, I felt grounded and at peace in that perfect moment of connection 🌿☀️.
Wishing you all a peaceful weekend, may you find moments to be kind to yourselves and others, and like me in the woods today, remember to pause and smile even when the world feels heavy 🌿😊💛.
Nothing about this looks like a dinner with major companies. Just an emperor’s dinner party with his feudal lords that either kiss ass or worry speaking up hurts stock prices.

I've decided to take up writing again, mainly as a way to help me remember things better, but also because I do get some joy out of it. My first post goes live on the 7th, if anyone is interested. I suspect that it will mostly be #OpenStreetMap related but there might be some other #tech related things thrown in there as well.
BBC: South Koreans detained in ICE raid at Hyundai electric vehicle site in Georgia
"...US immigration authorities have raided a massive Hyundai manufacturing site in Georgia, leading to the arrest of over 450 people, according to one of the agencies involved in the operation...."
"...The facility is part of what would be the biggest industrial investment in the state’s history and had been hailed as a huge boost for the economy by Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp...."
It's curious that ICE has better ways of detecting "illegal" workers than major corporations that presumably only hire people legally able to work here.
I suspect there's been a "don't ask, don't tell" policy with a lot of this, because US immigration policy has been so broken for so long. They probably have known of issues at many of these employers for a decade and only because of the politics today are they cracking down.
The article said most were grabbed for overstaying visas. I can picture the workers were brought in to do specialized work and could not renew their visas because of the broken immigration system. So now the work is shut down and every major corporation in the world is reconsidering making any investments here because of the uncertainty.
it doesn't even matter what the rest of the world thinks. Hyundai, SK Group, LG and Hanwa are huge companies and all have a stake in this plant. The SK president would take a call from any of these chaebol CEOs in a heartbeat. Any future SK investment in the US is going to need a nod of agreement from Hyundai, as no SK company will want Hyundai upset.
This issue should have been dealt with by a suggestion from a senior ICE official to a senior Hyundai executive at a meeting in South Korea that visas be regularised and that this would be checked on a date some months away.
As it is, the US clearly chose offence and disruption.
The timing couldn't be worse, the lead story in SK news today also being about Trump and poor choices by the US. South Korea is waiting to see what North Korea's response will be to the murder of its citizens by US troops.
I've been told ESA, the European Space Agency, spends 250 million euros a year on Amazon cloud services. Today, I received an administrative email from ESA, and it featured an embedded **1.6 megabyte** image as a footer celebrating their 50th birthday, in 4137x953 pixels resolution. Perhaps that's why their cloud bill is so tremendous. A scaled version:
As currently constructed, AI is an oligarchy-enriching, worker-immiserating, energy-depleting, brain-rotting economic bubble in waiting. Democrats can get on the public’s side here.

Those who only wanted a stooge to pander to their insecure needs for ever more money, power, less regulations, and freedom from the voters will (via gerrymandering and stacking the Supreme Court and judiciary) and the right to discriminate and be xenophobic and not have to obey the constitution especially that pesky part about the US not being a theocracy, have inadvertently made the US not great again but rather a joke. 1/2

Restoring a mind state backup from three hours ago so you can watch the recording of what you did with her, that's entirely new to her. Seeing her face react as she watches her self get taken apart and fucked with her own limbs amongst dozens of other enjoyable ideas you had, and have absolutely no memory of any of it.
At least it will help her understand where she got the new scuffs on her chassis.
