Does anyone have a connection at Claude? We can't even get in touch with their sales department...

Heitinga laat zijn eigen spelers verzuipen. Zelden zoveel onkunde gezien. En dan Kroes die hem in bescherming neemt. Onvoorstelbaar #ajaaz

@rustybrick Oh no... why is it always the good ones. Such a good guy... so sad.

So deeply sad to report the passing of search marketing industry vet, Alan Bleiweiss. He was so caring, smart and made so many of us smile seroundtable.com/alan-bleiweiss…

On paper it looked like I could handle it all. In reality I burned out. Minus fifty. My story: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

@Feijenoordert AZ kwam goed weg, dit was rood:

Sneijder en Mulder weten precies wat de spelers van Ajax zeggen, terwijl ze het niet zeggen. Soort spelersfluisteraars. Wat een onzin. Ziggo zoekt heel erg naar sensatie nu. #fraaja

@RichardHanania So what you're saying is the girl that got raped is to blame for it herself because she was wearing a short skirt and when commented on the skirt, she should have kept her mouth shut and not respond. Yes, Zelensky could have reacted differently, but come on, this was a setup.

I watched the entire press conference with Zelensky. There was 40 minutes of discussion up to the argument. Most people saw at most the last ten minutes. The whole video gives the proper context. When I first watched the argument without the proper context, I thought it was possible that Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky or were even trying to humiliate him. That's not what happened. You had 40 minutes of calm conversation. Vance made a point that didn't attack Zelensky and wasn't even addressed to him, and Zelensky clearly started the argument. In the first 40 minutes, Zelensky kept trying to go beyond what was negotiated in the deal. When Trump was asked a question, it was always "we'll see." Zelensky made blanket assertions that there would be no negotiating with Putin, and that Russia would pay for the war. When Trump said that it was a tragedy that people on both sides were dying, Zelensky interjected that the Russians were the invaders. For his part, Trump made clear that the US would continue delivering military aid. All Zelensky had to do was remain calm for a few more minutes and they would've signed a deal. The argument started when Trump pointed out that it would be hard to make a deal if you talk about Putin the way Zelensky does. Vance interjects to make the reasonable point that Biden called Putin names and that didn't get us anywhere. The Zelensky/Trump dynamic was calm and stable. It was when Vance spoke that Zelensky started to interrogate him. Throughout the press conference to that point, everyone was making their arguments directly to the audience. Zelensky decided to challenge Vance and ask him hostile questions. He went back to his point that Putin never sticks to ceasefires, once again implying that negotiations are pointless. Why on earth would you do this? Then came the fight we all saw. Zelensky was minutes away from being home free, and he would have had the deal and new commitments from the Trump administration. The point Vance made was directed against Biden and the media, taking them to task for speaking in moralistic terms. This offended Zelensky, and that began the argument. I've been a fan of Zelensky up to this point, but this showed so much incompetence, if not emotional instability, that I don't see how he recovers from this. The relationship with the administration is broken. Ukraine should probably go with new leadership at this point.

@PostNL is wel echt de slechtste bezorgdienst ever. Als ze de pakketten al op tijd bezorgen gooien ze ze gewoon neer voor de deur en nu leveren ze zelfs niet eens af, maar mag je een dag later naar een ophaalpunt. Belachelijk.

@beyondthepaid It really is. I worry a lot about what will happen and especially what he stands for: anger and hostility, combined with greed. What an example....

@basvandenbeld It's so disheartening, isn't it?

The biggest narcissist in the World just got handed the keys to the WH. The biggest idiots are those that follow him like lambs to the butcher. Wake the f up

@JanHazejager @elias_marien Vrij kortzichtig om dat ene ding op een weegschaal net zo zwaar of zwaarder te maken dan alle onmenselijke en vooral oneerlijke dingen waar hij voor staat

@elias_marien Ik denk dat hij beter is voor de naaste dan Biden, ook al het lijkt het soms andersom. Begint al in de buik.

Ik vind het vreselijk om naar Trump te kijken met zijn MAGA en zijn geschreeuw. Ben ik nu de enige die hier onpasselijk van word.😢

@justinparks He's a convicted criminal, known abuser and failed in many different ways. It's a stupid, stupid choice. No excuses, just plain stupid

@basvandenbeld Focused and relevant message, direct to the voter base (the majority). Motivated them to vote. 4 years of “ick” with Biden. (Yanks want direct action). Nostalgia on last term he had. Made himself personalbe (rogan) and had a well know team around him (musk, viveck etc).

Why America? Why? Such a horrible choice.

Trek je eigen conclusie zou ik zeggen. Hier is duidelijk dat ie de bal speelt in ieder geval

Tja... #slaaja

Gary Neville has said England's penalty decision was a disgrace: 🗣️“As a defender I think the penalty was an absolute DISGRACE.”
