Was van plan dit weekend wat nieuwe sportkleding te kopen, maar dat hijgerige "Black Friday"-gedoe ben ik nu al zat. Koop het wel een andere keer, ga weg met je Black Friday.

From bad to worse, has PR firm spread lies that Facebook-critics are payed for by George Soros, using the classical antisemitic myth.

Saw this reaction to #Google marketing running #Linux apps on #ChromeOS:

"So it does everything that Linux does, but you can also send all your personal data automatically to google.

Wow, what a value proposition!"

Bizar verhaal, stad "ontdekt" die niet eens 200 jaar geleden werd verwoest en vanaf 1836 door Europese kolonisten uit geschiedschrijving is gehouden.

Currently it's the commercial internet-platforms, but the mechanism is still the same as with radio in the Rwanda genocide, TV in the Balkan war and news-papers in nazi-Germany.
Extremists generating clicks and adverstisement and people/corporations making a lot of money with it. Pointing hate against minorities is income optimization, hate messages against a majority will create less clicks.

sea cucumbers suck up sediment from the sea floor, filter out the food (like dead zooplankton, algae, fish bits) and leave the rest of the sediment behind. Here is a beautiful purple deep sea cucumber doing just that - you can see the entire digestive tract!
