Henk van Gelder (1946-2025) was sinds 1981 recensent cabaret en musical voor NRC. Hij schreef achteloos diepgravend en vol kennis van zaken, vaak mild maar soms kortaf. Kwam een cabaretier hem dan kapittelen, dan antwoordde hij: ik schrijf niet voor jou, ik schrijf voor de lezer.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was quickly met with sharp questions and criticism Tuesday
by lawmakers who pressed him about his early moves to deploy troops to Los Angeles,
fire key military leaders
and purge diversity programs.
They expressed bipartisan frustration that Congress has not yet gotten a full defense budget from the Trump administration.
“Your tenure as secretary has been marked by endless chaos,”
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., told Hegseth.
Others, including Republican leaders, warned that massive spending projects such as Donald Trump’s desire for a $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense system will get broad congressional scrutiny.
After persistent questioning about the cost of sending National Guard members and Marines to Los Angeles,
Hegseth turned to his acting comptroller, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who said it would cost $134 million

Birds are amazing. But considering how much of my life I've spent watching and studying them, I've thought surprisingly little about just how incredible feathers are. Talking to engineers who still can't build anything to match a feather gave me a whole new understanding and appreciation for these absolute marvels of evolution.

The UK and four other Western governments have imposed sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers.

The sanctions will include asset freezes and travel restrictions against national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and finance minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway are also imposing sanctions.

They say Israel needs to take immediate action against what they call, extremist settlers.

Yeah 🥳 Sanctions! On 2 far-right Israeli ministers! 🥳

WHILE THEY KEEP ON TRADING AND SELLING WEAPONS TO ISRAEL FOR THE GENOCIDE AND BEING THE BIGGEST INVESTOR IN THE CONTINUED ISRAELI COLONISATION OF THE WESTBANK!

As we say in Dutch: they're trying to make people happy with a dead sparrow. Deeply, deeply disingenuous and disgusting.

Just finished another piece for a coming show in July, I'm been very blessed actually to have this opportunities coming, as I'm also showing a couple of pieces in one of the most influential galleries in Los Angeles, at Thinkspace! (first time doing it locally at their gallery that is).

Feeling fortunate yet vulnerable too, not only because the recession, the saturation in the art world, but also because the latest events here in SoCal. is gloomy. Hopping for the best always.

@cameronrtho My apologies I didn't explain myself and for the lack of details

Black Market is actually a store/gallery in the Sawtelle neighborhood in Los Angeles. (not mine) There is going to be a group exhibition next month where many artist participate, I'm one of many. The exhibition is organized by Cannibal Flower (a gallerist ) one of the pioneers of Low Brow art in LA.

I will update with info when I get all details. Thank you so much for the interest!

Canada, jointly with Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and the UK, issued sanctions and other measures on Tuesday against two far-right Israeli Cabinet ministers "for inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank."

The foreign ministers of all five countries demanded Israel "uphold its obligations under international law and we call on it to take meaningful action to end extremist, violent and expansionist rhetoric."

@Tom Grzybow federalisation is a big no-no for 99% of EU citizens but the leading caste. "Federalised EU" equals IV Reich.

better able to stand-up to the US, Russia, or China.


There's a big fly in the ointment : EU treaties explicitly state that NATO as the structural defence beam (so to say) of EU. And NATO is entirely US-controlled. EU is structurally a US vassal...
