The Love Letter, Johannes Vermeer, c. 1669 - c. 1670
Vermeer chose an unusual vantage point for this painting. From a dim space in the foreground, a glimpse is afforded of another room with a domestic scene. An elegantly dressed woman looks up expectantly at a maidservant, who has just handed her a letter. The seascape on the wall behind them may well allude to the epistle’s subject: during the 17th century, the sea was often compared to love, and the lover to a ship.

I’ve been in touch with Stefan a lot about this project. The idea is excellent. Let’s hope the implementation works! mastodon.social/@stefanlindboh…


Today we’re quietly (and finally!) opening up Railfinder to the public! This is our beta version and - hopefully - the first step towards that one booking site for trains across Europe that we all dream of.

Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’ve built you can now just go to railfinder.eu and have a go!

Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏





ICE Is Now Trying To Convince Congress Members It Needs 72-Hours Notice Before Facility Inspections techdirt.com/2025/06/23/ice-is…
This was never an issue before, but it’s suddenly an issue now that ICE has gone full Gestapo to keep up with Trump’s mass deportation demands. ICE’s tactics — unmarked vehicles, masked officers, and untargeted raids of any place that might contain foreigners — have earned it all the criticism and hatred it now faces.

We’ve got 3 125-133 MW installations in California that have been there since 2014. Apparently they’re planning on shutting it down next year becuse the technology is too expensive to operate (or at least that’s what I can tell from 5 min of reading 😆): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_…

🪫⚡️🔋 Mein neues MagSafe 3er Reiseladegerät von Anker macht echt einen guten Job im Urlaub 👍 kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen für iPhone, Apple Watch (Ultra) und AirPods #SWE25
in reply to Manfred

Das Bild zeigt ein Anker Wireless Charger auf einem weißen Tisch. Der Ladegerät hat eine moderne, minimalistische Design mit einem weißen Gehäuse und einem grauen, runden Ladefeld. Auf dem Ladegerät liegt eine weiße AirPods-Box, die aufrecht steht, mit dem Deckel leicht geöffnet. Neben der Box ist ein weißer MagSafe-Adapter mit einem Kabel angeschlossen. Der Anker-Logo ist deutlich sichtbar auf dem Ladegerät. Im Hintergrund ist eine graue Wand mit einem dezenten Blumenmuster zu sehen. Die Beleuchtung ist hell und natürlich, was den Raum freundlich und einladend wirken lässt.

Prior to 2017 we'd never been to Belgium before, despite it being one of the closest foreign countries to our home, but in November of that year we made our third trip there, this time aboard P&O Ventura, a first time aboard that particular ship although its design class was by now very familiar to us. We got aboard very early for some reason and it wasn't particularly warm at that time of the year so the upper deck of the ship was almost completely empty and eerie as we had a quick explore before departing from Southampton.

The image is a table with two rows and two columns. The first row has the header "Grading status" in the left column and "Not graded" in the right column. The second row has the header "Time remaining" in the left column and "Assignment was submitted 2 hours 18 mins early" in the right column, which is highlighted in a light green color. The table is set against a white background.

This person on TikTok has made a spreadsheet of jobs that various neurodivergent people have, and the reasons they like them. It's fascinating, and also probably very useful for people who are struggling to identify work they might feel comfortable in, considering autistic people are one of the groups with the highest unemployment levels.

Want to plant trees to offset fossil fuels? You’d need all of North and Central America, study finds


The paper effectively makes the point that it’s financially impossible to offset enough carbon to compensate for future fossil fuel burning, said Daphne Yin, director of land policy at Carbon180, where her team advocates for U.S. policy support for land-based carbon removal. And the idea that companies would be required to account for the downstream emissions from the fossil fuel they extract is a “fantasy,” she said.

What is biophilic design, and why do you need it in your office? via Fast Company

[Shared]The field of biophilic design aims to create spaces that optimize productivity and well-being. In the roughly 300,000 years humans have been on Earth, offices have only really been around the past few hundred years. Biophilic architecture is based on the concept that humans evolved in natural environments, and because of this, we feel the best when these factors are mimicked. Incorporation or mimicry of the natural world into our built spaces can greatly improve peoples’ health, happiness, and productivity.

The image depicts a modern office space with a large, dark wooden table at the center, surrounded by several black office chairs. The room is well-lit with natural light streaming in through a large window with a grid pattern, revealing lush greenery outside. The walls are painted white, and the floor is a light gray concrete. Several potted plants are placed around the room, adding a touch of greenery and life. The table is cluttered with office supplies, including a laptop, books, and papers. The image is framed with a decorative border featuring stylized leaves in pastel colors, including shades of green, blue, and pink.
