Looks like we got ourselves a full-blown case of "Crawling up Trump's Colon-19"

AI-generated slop is just another expression one needs to apply source criticism to.

Tally-ho, historians! More work for you, not less.

(From an ethics perspective, that is. This only applies to the labor market as well if people care enough to want to check.)

Fijn! Proficiat voor jou en het team, Ron!

De volgende stap is een sticker

So, what if we rebranded reading and writing as:

"Going to the gym, but for your brain"
Or
"High intensity neural network training"

Ja!

Zie je, de steun voor de erwt krimpt al even snel als het aandeel zetels voor D66 in de peilingen

Ja! Dat smeekt om een groente-variant

Ja maar dit gaat heel erg in tegen de uitgangspunten van het democratische denken

Ik stem voor de witpuntradijs, maar ruimer: dit kan alleen beslecht worden via een algehele volksraadpleging

(geen idee hoe @fakeplasticruby.bsky.social hierover denkt)

😁

Ik zei het met heel erg veel liefde!

Why be clear when you can be chaos

Wie wordt Vogel van het Jaar 2026? Gemaakt met Tally, de eenvoudigste manier om formulieren te maken.

Ik heb de voorbije dagen heel wat steun mogen ontvangen, wat ik ongelofelijk apprecieer. Hieronder volgt dan ook een lijstje met celebs die op de scholekster zouden stemmen.

PS: jij kan ook nog steeds op de scholekster stemmen, en wel hierzo: tally.so/r/zxE8RR

Chaturanga - Wikipedia

Nou, er is iig Chaturanga!

During a recent meet-up in Amsterdam, Timothy Snyder said journalists too often work as 'stenographers'.

You could add: stenographers acting like the dog in the movie 'Up'.

They need to be proactive and agenda-setting discursive laborers instead.

An Open Hand Will Always Trump An Aggressive Beatdown The Trump administration has kicked off 2026 with an imperialist rampage. With it, it mostly demonstrates its own insecurities.

I'd say, resentment and an inferiority complex?
Not a strategy. But surely a factor tying it all together.

Hmm, wat al je nou een printje zou maken van het LU-logo

And yes, that skeet includes both the words 'specific' and 'ultimately' twice, because, you know, I'm an excellent writer.

I think history is ultimately about analyzing events as specific 'balls' (see below), which offer us more specific, more tailored action points for the present. What label you use for a contemporary phenomenon is ultimately secondary.
