Alhoewel ik de motivatie voor preventieve gratie wel begrijp, vind ik de maatregel op zich wel eigenaardig en eigenlijk ook niet verdedigbaar. Ik geloof dat je niet iemand preventief kunt straffen. Dat betekent ook dat je niemand preventief van een straf kunt vrijwaren.

When I went into hibernation on 𝕏, I forgot to put a lock on my account. I did so today. It is to be expected that the presidency of #POTUS47 will lead to an increase in trolls and bots. I want to avoid that these fake accounts would respond to older posts of mine to polarize.

Interesting. I generated the ALT text accompanying this image using ChatGPT (with a self-written prompt). Find the error. I discovered it myself only after publication. Let this be a warning to always check what AI systems tell you.

[#]TikTok is back in the United States “as a result of President’s Trump efforts” on a moment that #POTUS47 has not yet taken the oath of office. So… about what kind of efforts are they talking? This is all just a campaign by #ByteDance to get into the president-elect's good graces.

Now suppose #POTUS47 were to die relatively soon after taking the presidential oath of office. How likely is it then that the policies he announced would effectively still be implemented? Are there any political analysts who can say anything meaningful about this?

Snackbar Chicon Farsi vind je in de Brusselse Rollebeekstraat nabij de Kunstberg en combineert de Belgische en Iraanse keukens, geheel in lijn met zijn goed gevonden naam. Voor een snelle lunch, maar ook als je 's avonds iets wilt eten. Ik at er afgelopen vrijdag 's avonds met een vriendin. Lekker, gezond en overvloedig.

What has been your biggest bad buy in recent years?
For me, it was the Apple Pencil I bought along with my iPad Mini a few years back. I never used that pen.

Don‘t lightly announce your departure or reduced activity on Facebook. You will get understanding, yet mostly mud all over you. In short: few people will miss you. Well, in my case anyway. That‘s encouraging. 😅
I got a few times: “This isn’t the airport, you don’t have to announce your departure.”
