Het jeugdtheater op Festival Tweetakt is ook voor ouders leuk: aanstekelijk en een tikje alternatief
De voorstelling ‘Loppersum’ is een mix van Griekse mythe, aardbevingen en satire. ‘Ôskwanteklip’ is juist rustig en bevreemdend theater.Vincent Kouters (DPG Media)

The clock's ticking for senior clerics seeking a successor to #Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei.
A 3-man cmte from a top clerical body, appointed by Khamenei himself 2 years ago to identify his replacement, has accelerated its planning in recent days since #Israel & the #US attacked #Iran & threatened to assassinate the veteran leader, 5 insiders w/knowledge of the discussions told Reuters.

The image is a two-panel meme. In the top panel, a man in a light gray t-shirt and blue jeans is standing outside a building, holding his stomach. The text "ME" is overlaid on the image, and the caption reads "TRYING TO GET A SMARTPHONE EXTRACTION." In the background, a woman in a white and black striped tank top is walking away, and another man in a plaid shirt is visible. The bottom panel shows the same man in the light gray t-shirt, now being touched on the stomach by the man in the plaid shirt. The text "INTERMITTENT LIGHTNING/USB CONNECTION" is overlaid on this image. The meme humorously compares the frustration of trying to extract data from a smartphone with the intermittent connection issues often experienced with charging or data transfer.

Members of the public walk past the exterior of Invesco’s offices after they are left covered with red paint following an action by Palestine Action. The activists accuse Invesco of supporting genocide in Gaza by investing in companies that supply arms to Israel. Members of the campaign group have called an emergency demonstration as Yvette Cooper reportedly prepares to proscribe the group, which would make it unlawful to join the organization

Tesla’s robotaxi is live in Austin, Texas: here are some of the first reactions.
From @verge: "Tellingly, the service is not open to the general public, nor is it completely 'unsupervised,' as Elon Musk once promised."

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Khamenei, 86, is being regularly briefed on the talks, acc/to the Iranian sources. He has gone into hiding with his family & is being guarded by the Vali-ye Amr special forces unit of the #IRGC, a top #security official said.
The ruling establishment will immediately seek to name a successor to Khamenei if he is killed, to signal stability & continuity, acc/to the sources who acknowledged that predicting #Iran's subsequent political trajectory was difficult.

in reply to Nonilex • • •A new leader will still be chosen for his devotion to the revolutionary precepts of the Islamic Republic's late founder Ayatollah Ruhollah #Khomeini, acc/to one insider, who is close to #Khamenei's office & privy to succession discussions.
At the same time, the top echelon of #power is also considering which candidate might present a more moderate face to ward off foreign attacks & internal revolts, the person said.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Two frontrunners have emerged in the succession discussions, the five insiders said: #Khamenei's 56-year-old son Mojtaba, long seen as a continuity choice, & a new contender, Hassan Khomeini, grandson of the father of the Islamic revolution.
#Khomeini, a close ally of the reformist faction that favours the easing of social & political restrictions, nonetheless commands respect among senior clerics & the #IRGC because of his lineage.

in reply to Nonilex • • •"I once again humbly express that this small & insignificant servant of the Iranian people stands ready to proudly be present on any front or scene you deem necessary," the 53-year-old #Khomeini said in a public message of support to the supreme leader #Khamenei on Saturday, hours before the #US bombed #Iran's #nuclear facilities.

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Khomeini has come into the frame as a serious candidate this month amid the conflict with #Israel & the #US because he could represent a more conciliatory choice internationally & domestically than Mojtaba Khamenei, the 5 people said.
By contrast, #Khamenei hews closely to his grandfather's hardline policies, acc/to the insiders who cautioned that nothing had been determined, candidates could change & the supreme leader would have the final say.
