1/12 watching the news out of the uk lately. riots, targeted violence, the speed at which a rumour turns into a mob. i thought it’s tempting to explain it as a sudden outbreak, something new that appeared overnight

1/4 RIVM noemt zonsverduistering “bijzonder,” Zwolse Marleen (52) weet allang beter. Nederland maakt zich morgenavond op voor een gedeeltelijke zonsverduistering, door het RIVM aangeduid als “bijzonder hemelverschijnsel.” Voor Marleen uit Zwolle is dat woordkeuze op z’n zachtst gezegd “wat naïef.”

THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR
by Donald J Trump

okay kids, listen. listen. we have a caterpillar. a very tiny little guy. not impressive. i've seen crumbs bigger. believe me

monday
he eats 1 apple. 1. very small. very weak. i eat bigger apples. everybody knows it. everybody

tuesday
2 pears. wow. 2. he thinks he's doing great. he's not. he's really not. i've seen people do 2 things and think they're smart. they're not smart. very dumb people

wednesday
3 plums. 3! he chews like he's working hard. he's not. i work hard. i work the hardest. people say, "sir, nobody works harder than you." and they're right. totally right

thursday
4 strawberries. beautiful strawberries. and he just eats them. messy guy. very messy. i don't like messy. messy is bad. like those people who pretend they know things. they don't. very sad

friday
5 oranges. he's stuffing his face. totally stuffing it. like the media stuffing nonsense. they love nonsense. they eat it up. no standards. very low iq behavior

saturday
cake, ice cream, pickles, cheese, he eats everything. like a crazy person. totally crazy. i've seen people do that. not good people. very bad people. they eat everything and then say they're fine. they're not fine. not even close

sunday
he eats 1 leaf. finally a good choice. a smart choice. and he feels better. of course he feels better. because he finally stopped acting like those losers who think they're important

then he makes a cocoon. looks terrible. really terrible. like something made by people who don't know how to make things. i make things. i make the best things. everybody says so

then he comes out as a butterfly. people go, "oh wow!" but honestly? i've seen better butterflies. much better. this 1 is okay. just okay. but people clap anyway. people clap for anything. very low standards

anyway kids, that's the story. a tiny nobody eats too much, hides, and then thinks he's special. happens all the time. i've met thousands of them. none as good as me. not even close

1/4 double‑tap strikes: bomb → wait for rescuers → bomb again legal experts call it potential war‑crime territory. morally? it’s not even ambiguous this isn’t “chaos of war”. it’s engineered cruelty a workflow built to punish anyone who tries to save a life

#StrayFactsSaturday you never experience the present moment, ever your brain takes ~100ms to process what you see hear & feel. by the time youre conscious of something, it already happened sound & vision process at different speeds. your brain waits, then stitches everything into one fake "now"

#StrayFactsSaturday time passes slower the closer you are to a massive object. the clocks on gps satellites have to be constantly corrected because they run slightly faster in orbit than on the ground your head ages faster than your feet. you are, technically, older at the top than at the bottom

the trump administration drafted a memo explaining how to use 1.3 million peoples hiv medication as a bargaining chip for mining rights. the word they used for this strategy was “leverage.” this is what they mean by christian values www.aljazeera.com/video/2026/4... www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/w...
