Video: Rosetta mission scientist Dr Matt Taylor cries during apology over ‘offensive’ shirt – Telegraph
Fuck dit soort "feministen" — "In recent days the heavily-tattooed London scientist had become a firm favourite with the public for his unlikely appearance and enthusiastic interviews. But the shirt has divided opinion, with many women in the science community accusing Dr Taylor of sexism."

De angst van De Wever | Jan Blommaert (en z’n gedachten)
En De Wever liegt nog maar eens.Geconfronteerd met de woorden van Mayeur, dat De Wever de dokwerkers best “aan de bron” had kunnen tegenhouden, beweerde De Wever dat dit geen enkele juridische basis zou hebben. Wel, wie het Antwerpse politiereglement van 2014 leest, beginnend met artikel 102 op p34, zal daar lezen dat (a) er geen onaangevraagde en niet-goedgekeurde “demonstraties” mogen plaatsvinden in bepaalde zones van de stad, incluis De Keyserlei bij het Centraal Station.

Who built this Siberian summer palace… and why?
With its island location and towering square walls that were once impenetrable, it looks at first glance to be an ancient fortress or kremlin to keep out enemies. Others believe the 1,300-year-old structure in rural Siberia has more mystical properties and might have been a summer palace, monastery, or even an astronomical observatory. Whatever it is, more than a century after it was first explored, archaeologists are no further forward in discovering the secrets of Por-Bajin, who built it or why. Most likely constructed in 757 AD, the complex has fascinated and frustrated experts in equal measure since it was located in the middle Tere-Khol, a high-altitude lake in Tuva, in the late 19th century.

‘De prachtige samenleving’ van Bart De Wever | Bleri Lleshi’s Blog
Al wat misloopt in België is de schuld van de socialisten. Alsof de socialisten België en Antwerpen op hun eentje hebben geregeerd. Met Di Rupo was er de afgelopen 3 jaar een socialistisch premier, maar van 1980 tot 1999 was de premier iemand van CD&V. Tussen 1999 en 2008 was Guy Verhofstadt (Open Vld) premier. Kortom de afgelopen 35 jaar was er slechts 3 jaar een socialistische premier en toch vind De Wever het doodnormaal om van socialistisch beleid te spreken. De Wever weet zelf heel goed wie aan de macht was de afgelopen decennia, maar het gaat hem om framing en een zondebok zoeken: de socialisten.
