Do you have a source for this dubious "Asian marketing department" claim that I've seen floating around? It was posted (and is still up as of *right now*) on their primary Threads profile.

USER WAS BLOCKED FOR THIS POST: Is the implication that you're no longer bound by facts because you're retired?
Hans de Vreij (@vreij.bsky.social): At the moment of the drink, there were absolutely no "international investigations". What there were, were a number of Dutch soldiers who had been taken prisoner by the Serbs, who threatened to execute them. As for the delay in answering Edin: I was busy with something else.

Ovaltine Tranzac (@elvedin.officialawesome.com): The photo is from 1995. The ICTY was established in 1993.

The fact that you are a working journalist is absolutely astounding.

Hans de Vreij (@vreij.bsky.social): I am not a 'working journalist' anymore, but a retired one. FYI: I covered the wars in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia as a correspondent of the biggest Dutch newspaper from 1991 to 1994. Both in the field and behind my desk in Prague. Also, I never covered ICTY. Bye!

Making a negative of the screen to facilitate edge-to-edge printing was *immensely* satisfying. I'm getting better but I still suck at #screenprinting and #printmaking and yet I love it so much more than so many of the things I'm good at.

People that use the term "virtue signalling" pejoratively either believe that virtue is done silently, or that it's not done at all. Either way, they are wrong; safely ignore what they say. @anisota.net's data visualization harvest (anisota.net/harvest) is very nice and good.

For how old it is and for how few were made, I'm surprised how often I see it. I snapped this one more than a decade ago near Moss Park. I used it as the basis of an unsuccessful screenprint a few years later.
