A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
Now I know that in thus turning Conservative with years, I am going through the normal cycle of change and travelling in the common orbit of men’s opinions. I submit to this, as I would submit to gout or grey hair, as a concomitant of growing age or else of failing animal heat; but I do not acknowledge that it is necessarily a change for the better — I dare say it is deplorably for the worse.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 38

The Charm of Vermont
Preamble
Vermont is the State where individuals in clear and present violation of traditional values, roles, and related concepts can pursue a sense of safety, away from the implications of stereotypes caused and created specifically by the use of pronouns and other factors. The State of Vermont is known most commonly for progressive policies, renewable energy, and being the largest producer of maple syrup in the United States, with around fifty percent (50%) of the national supply. Only ten cities exist in the entire State; Vergennes, in Addison County in the west-central portion of the State, is the smallest of these, with a population count of fewer than three thousand (3,000) in total. Fourteen counties exist in the State:
- Grand Isle County → The islands within Lake Champlain (the Richelieu River)
- Franklin County → Along the Canadian border (specifically with the Province of Québec) and directly on the east side of Lake Champlain
- Orleans County → Contains Newport, Derby, and surrounding areas including Lake Memphrémagog
- Essex County → Very small communities, including Brighton (the largest town), Guildhall (the shire town), and surrounding communities at the northeastern extremity of the State
- Chittenden County → Contains Colchester, Winooski, Burlington, Essex Junction, and associated communities of the Burlington area
- Lamoille County → Communities include Hyde Park, Morristown, and Stowe, as well as the highest point in the State of Vermont (Mount Mansfield, north of Montpelier)
- Caledonia County → The heart of the Northeast Kingdom; includes locales such as St. Johnsbury
- Addison County → Located in west-central Vermont, Middlebury is the shire town of the county. Vergennes, the oldest and smallest of the ten incorporated cities of Vermont, is also located within the county.
- Washington County → Located centrally within the State of Vermont, the Cities of Barre and Montpelier are located within the county.
- Orange County → Located in east-central Vermont along the Connecticut River downstream from Caledonia and upstream from Windsor
- Rutland County → Contains the City of Rutland and surrounding communities fairly southwest in the State of Vermont
- Windsor County → Along the Connecticut River and the New Hampshire state line, containing communities such as Windsor
- Bennington County → Notable for having two shire towns, Manchester and Bennington, separated by differences in latitude; located in the extreme southwest corner of Vermont
- Windham County → Newfane is the shire town; Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, and Putney are also notable communities in the county.
Adventure in Stowe
Over Labor Day Weekend in 2025, novaTopFlex had experienced firsthand charm of the State of Vermont, particularly the Town of Stowe and the included Village of Stowe. The Stowe Mountain Resort, the Green Mountain Inn, and even local bookstores were of particular excellence, but so were the gondola rides within the area.

The image shows a handheld gaming device, specifically a Nintendo 3DS, being held in a person's hand. The top screen displays the title "Pokémon HeartGold Version" with the Game Freak logo, indicating the game being played. The bottom screen shows a Pokémon, specifically a bird-like creature with a yellow crest, flying against a backdrop of a sunset sky. The device is white, with a directional pad on the left and action buttons on the right. The background is dimly lit, with a television screen visible in the upper left corner, displaying a blue-toned image. The room appears to be a living space, with a plant visible in the background.

Mijn opinie in de Volkskrant vandaag: 'Behoed kinderen voor het Trojaanse Paard uit Silicon Valley'.
De tekst gaat in op de nieuwe kerndoelen voor digitale geletterdheid, die beschrijven wat leerlingen minimaal moeten leren in hun omgang met digitale technologie. De kerndoelen zijn niet heel nadrukkelijk ingevuld. Ze geven scholen ruimte om er naar eigen inzicht mee aan de slag te gaan.
Het risico: grote techbedrijven nemen die ruimte in.

Out of Context: *The Maroons of Suriname*
youtube.com/watch?v=9qcWBzpmP_…
"Deep within the rainforest of South America, live groups of people who have guarded their African traditions, language and spirituality for over two centuries. Known as Maroons, these escaped slaves defied a global empire to win their independence and become masters of their realm. Until recently, their lands were off-limits to outsiders, shrouded in mystery. Join us as we step into their world to tell the incredible story of the Maroons of Suriname.

Rumors have been spreading all week that NYC Mayor Eric Adams was about to drop his reelection campaign — possibly at the behest of U.S. President Donald Trump, who reportedly favors disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo. Things reached fever pitch when Adams announced a press conference today, only to say that he's staying in the race, and believes he will beat front runner Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee who Trump describes as a communist. Here's more from CNBC.

An abandoned Olympic village in Germany 🇩🇪
It hosted 4000 athletes during the games. The facilities included swimming pools, gymnasiums, sports fields and a manmade lake.
The Wehrmacht took control after the games, converting the reception buildings into a hospital and other blocks into lecture halls. Following the Second World War, the Soviets used the site to house troops.

in reply to Marton👾 • • •The image depicts a fantastical scene with a character riding a large, winged creature soaring through a cloudy sky. The creature has expansive, feathered wings and a robust, armored body, with a rider mounted on its back. The rider is adorned in ornate armor, featuring a helmet with a crest and a shield, and is holding a weapon. The background reveals a misty, mountainous landscape with a faintly visible structure, possibly a floating island or a large ship, beneath the clouds. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of green and gray dominating the scene, creating a mystical atmosphere.

The image depicts a character descending from the sky using a large, intricately designed parachute. The parachute features a prominent symbol and is adorned with a mix of colors, including brown, yellow, and white. The character is equipped with a detailed outfit, including a chest piece with an orange emblem, and is carrying a bow and arrow. The background reveals a large, ancient-looking structure with stone architecture, including a prominent statue and a circular platform. The sky is overcast, adding a dramatic atmosphere to the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by greens and grays, suggesting a mystical or otherworldly setting.

The image depicts a scene from a video game, featuring two distinct characters in a dynamic confrontation. On the left, a towering, humanoid robot with a spiky, red and black head and glowing blue energy weapons is visible. Its body is adorned with intricate, glowing patterns and mechanical details, suggesting advanced technology. On the right, a human-like figure in elaborate, green and brown armor stands with a weapon raised, facing the robot. The character's armor is detailed with glowing elements and tribal-like patterns, indicating a blend of traditional and futuristic design. The background is a twilight sky, with hints of stone structures, adding to the epic scale of the scene. The overall composition emphasizes the size difference and the imminent clash between the two characters.
