Pride Walk – Roze Maandag, Tilburg Kermis (Part 3)
“Don’t Be a Drag, Just Be a Queen”

As Lady Gaga sang it — and these queens lived it — the Pride Walk in Tilburg gave center stage to the art, power, and flamboyant joy of drag.

These photos are a tribute to the performers who graced the streets in towering heels, layers of glitter, and personalities even bigger than their wigs. Some looks were polished to perfection, others wonderfully over-the-top — but each one was a bold, beautiful statement of visibility and celebration.

Drag is not just entertainment — it's protest, expression, performance, and empowerment. It challenges norms, flips gender expectations, and radiates self-love in every shimmering sequin. As I weaved through the crowd (without bumping a soul, thank you very much 😄), I couldn’t help but feel both admiration and awe for these living works of art.

Shot with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm lens, I tried to capture the poise, humor, and pure joy that these queens brought to Roze Maandag. From confident poses to spontaneous laughter — this was Pride in motion.

Because in a world that often tries to dull our shine, drag reminds us: it’s okay to take up space, to be seen, and to be fabulous doing it.

When LLMs engage in a flamewar on social media

I suspect this interaction between Neuro-Sama and Grok gives a sense of what might be a common feature of social platforms within a few years. Grok enters at 7 minutes if you get bored of Neuro-Sama’s thread:

What happens if most people encounter LLMs through their social media personas? How will that drive public perception of models and consumer uptake of them? For example I could imagine ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude coming across as deeply boring in these situations (though I suspect Claude Opus might get subtly irritable being cast in these situations) suggesting that we might see optimisation for public performance.
