Email is the cockroach of the internet - it outlives every wave trying to kill it. Forget Slack, forget Discord, forget chat apps. Email is universal, decentralized, and asynchronous. It's not sexy, but it's the ultimate survivor.
I am getting quite fed up with journalists stating that the Trump's next action could lead the nation into uncharted waters. THE US IS NOW A GODDAMNED AUTOCRACY! THESE ARE UNCHARTED WATERS! DON'T ACT AS IF THINGS ARE STILL CLOSE TO NORMAL!!!
Reports that this is the largest protest in the Netherlands in the past twenty years.
Indrukwekkend

Tens of thousands of people gather in The Hague to protest Dutch government’s policy on Israel.

Massaal protest in Den Haag tegen Israël-standpunt kabinet rustig verlopen

De betogers droegen rode kleren, om symbolisch een rode lijn te kunnen trekken.

My mom had a cadenza when she first heard about the Brexit vote, exclaiming: "Everything we suffered for! All those dead boys and innocent people murdered. Have they lost their minds?!"

I'm glad she missed the atrocities in Gaza.

My mom would’ve remarked: “I looked ravenous in those days!”
To which we would’ve chorused: “Ravishing!”
After which my brother would murmur: “I’m not even sure that’s the right word….”
Their wedding anniversary (which I also missed) was clearly far more important, so I've posted some photos of the happy couple taken long before they ever met.
