Hoe kwamen we eigenlijk op het idee om 2 miljard te geven aan een vervuilend buitenlands bedrijf met een failliete businesscase? Geen idee maar er was wel een hoop gedoe over die Afrikaner van milieudefensie. #tatasteel #redherring #grafietregens

"Ben jij een #Stalin-fan bijvoorbeeld?"

"Nou, een fan niet, maarrr [...] ze zijn wel zonder kolonialisme en zonder slavernij binnen enkele decennia de ruimte in gegaan."

"Wel met het zeer repressief onderdrukt houden van heel veel mensen."

"Ja, maar ten bate van wie? En weet je wat #België in #Congo gedaan heeft? En wordt ooit gebruikt in debatten: goh, dat Belgisch kapitalisme, daar zijn miljoenen doden bij gevallen?"

I suspect that one #player has already solved both mysteries, based on popular #fantasy or #mystery tropes, but their #character only has suspicions. This feels like a show where the audience knows (almost) everything, but the point is to #experience the #journey of #discovery with the characters. Time to conjure a #RedHerring or three!

You may have come across the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument as a response to concerns about digital mass surveillance. It's a red herring; the real argument is about who gets to choose what to share.

This was written as a complement to @thenewoil recent blog post about the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument. You can read that here:

I Have Nothing but Red Herring to Hide

The I-have-nothing-to-hide argument is a red herring; the real privacy argument is about who gets to choose what to share.

„Wes Streeting released WhatsApp messages with Peter Mandelson in a bid to downplay their relationship, writing to the then-ambassador and former friend of Jeffrey Epstein that Israel is behaving like a 'rogue state' and calling for stronger sanctions against it last summer.“

Tell us about a character who has a secret. (Optional: drop hints and allow others to guess the secret.)

I already dropped hints in parts of the answers I gave here. Beginning as soon as I started to answer Prompts back in 2023 and since ongoing.

I have similar clues in the story planned and already written. So it will be a secret until I have released the Story's part in which it becomes relevant.

Sadly I am unable to provide any further inside along who the character is, because AJ would most likely be send after me to stop telling Union/Rim secrets that AI doesn't want to go out. But I tell you so much that it is in both Star Ryde and the Star Ryde: Self Insert Alternate Romance Universe.

By the way I need opinions. What do you think should a ship called the Red Herring be? A freighter or a shuttle?

Zoiets moet een keer naar buiten gebracht worden, dus wanneer doe je dat? Op de avond van de verkiezingsuitslagen. De ultieme #redherring. Van elke vier woorden die de #BBB spreekt zijn er vijf gelogen.

BBB baseert beleid op halve waarheden en hele leugens

Op 29 maart stuurde Staatssecretaris Rummenie die verantwoordelijk is voor bescherming en herstel van natuur een brief over natuurbeleid naar de Tweede Kamer. Daarin staan voorstellen die de effectiviteit van het natuurbeleid ondermijnen. De maatschappelijke kosten ervan lopen inmiddels in de miljarden terwijl de natuur verder achteruitgaat en boeren vastzitten in een uitzichtloze situatie.
