Dear ex-Twitter friends. I know, Twitter/X is an immoral hellhole, and Elon Musk has despicable political ideas. I agree. But the fight is over there. And I just wanted to share that you are missing out on the return of Hunter Biden on X, who is now leading the charge against MAGA, Trump, and Musk.

Opvallend dat 5 mensen de zaal vroegtijdig verlieten. Ik ben laatst ook weggelopen bij een film (Project Hail Mary). Beginnen we elkaars smaak minder goed te begrijpen? Is het een generatiekloof?

Regisseur Sergey Loznitsa over Two Prosecutors: ‘Het is mijn taak als filmmaker om patronen zichtbaar te maken, zodat we niet opnieuw in diezelfde totalitaire valstrik lopen’
Met de kafkaëske helletocht _Two Prosecutors_ neemt de Oekraïens-Belarussische filmmaker Sergey Loznitsa ons mee terug naar het door corruputie en onrecht lamgelegde Rusland van 1937.

"Two Prosecutors" is het midden tussen 1984 / Burnt by the Sun (van Mikhalkov, toen hij nog goede films maakte) / The Trial (het boek) van Kafka / Solaris van Tarkovksi. Een boodschap die we kennen, maar die hier nog eens opnieuw heel mooi en goed is verpakt. cineville.nl/nl-NL/magazi...

Fantastic news, throwing phones away when the battery dies is quite ridiculous. We don't need super thin phones, we need phones we can repair.

Indeed. Pay attention. This is very possible. It is somewhat like the owners of a bankrupt company asset stripping and looting it just before it goes down.

As always, Pete has the right take. We no longer trust the US not only because of Trump but because we cannot trust a system that produces Trump.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

Let's be absolutely clear. Whether Donald Trump is currently suffering from cognitive decline, a loss of mental capacity, dementia or any other mental or physical disorder, he was NEVER, at any point, fit to be president of the United States.

Americans need to remember exactly who told them to vote for Trump in 2024. Look at the absolute disaster it has been. Those voices are discredited forever, and you should never listen to them about who to vote for ever again

As seven-year-old children, we enjoyed these car-free Sundays enormously. Roller skating and cycling on the roads and highways! But I think we had only two of them (car-free Sundays).

Some countries are better positioned to weather this energy crisis than they would have been just a few years ago. That's because of the rapid growth of renewable energy, battery systems and electric vehicles. @npr.org interviewed me for this excellent piece: www.npr.org/2026/03/16/n...
npr.org
Oil and gas prices are soaring. Some countries are ready with solar panels and EVs
As an energy crisis grows, some countries are more prepared because of renewable energy and electric vehicles. Pakistan reduced its reliance on imported natural gas because of the growth of solar.

The paradox is that we should not have allowed free speech for those who oppose it. Worse, exactly that same argument they use against us to limit our speech. The solution is to acknowledge that free speech should not be entirely free. Like any freedom, it needs protection (=less freedom).
