Atheist, technopagan and vegan.

I didn't watch the in-ogre-ation yesterday. That was a good decision, everything happened without me just as well. This morning I was curious. About the @potus twitter account that now is in the twitter-capable hands of one Donald Trump. (Interestingly his original twitter account, https://twitter.com/therealdonaldtrump) doesn't exist any more.) Something struck me. Let me show you: Does this man strike you as a kind man? As someone who is happy? As someone who... cares about you?…

Much has been said about it. But it's never enough. Since when is it the task of the police (you know, these people who uphold the law, protect, serve, saves us from crime and all that) to use force against peaceful protesters who stand up to protect their sacred lands (which is officially theirs) from being turned into a huge oil spill disaster waiting to happen? (Image via Google+) Guns, rubber bullets, bean bags (don't…

Yesterday I dropped a bank order into the mailbox of my bank so something would be paid. On the lid was a large sticker: Make it easy on yourself! It continued telling me and the rest of the world that I could use their mobile app or the website to pay stuff. I know that. I have it and I use it at times. But... is that making it easy on myself? I had to…

I watched this film. Agora. According to Wikipedia an agora was: An interesting detail is that this is a Greek world while the film is located in Egypt. The film brings amazing views of the ancient city of Alexandria and also of its famous library which was one of the Wonders of the World. IMDB says about this film: This synopsis says enough about the film. The film showed me how amazing people can be when…

Freedom? What freedom? Some of you already know, some don't. Some may have guessed it. And some of you may be shocked (for you I feel a bit sad). I'm a naturist. What is naturism? The first thing many people think of, unfortunately, is what the internet throws around so eagerly. Naked people doing all kinds of things that are most certainly not safe for work. First off: that is not naturism. Naturism, also called nudism, simply…

Yes, I went ahead and bought them. Even though they're pricey. Finding the easiest way to actually put them in took me a while as I lack knowledge on sticking stuff in my ears. It was even a bit of an odd feel to have these additional bits there but they keep the headphones in place and I very quickly didn't feel them any more. Good thing I have another phone. The Meizu MX-5 Ubuntu.

This man frightens me. Donald Trump. He wants to be the president of the US of A first, and of the world after that. The things he says and the plans he has are worrying. His presidential website states that Obamacare is horrible. Somehow he will "restore economic freedom" which then will make for "free market principles and working together to create sound public policy that will broaden healthcare access, make healthcare more affordable and…

A home for old people. One where the very old people are. People who have nearly nothing left to live for, who are literally waiting for the end. Have you ever been there? No? Humour me and do it. It's an eye opener. Go there and look around you. That is where society will send us. People have to get older and older because of science and health care. (Because we get older we're also…

Een bejaardentehuis. Een waar de heel oude mensen zitten. De mensen die bijna niets meer hebben om voor te leven, die letterlijk zitten te wachten op het einde. Ben je er wel eens geweest? Nee? Doe eens. Het is iets dat je ogen opent. Ga er eens heen en kijk eens goed om je heen. Dat is waar de maatschappij ons heen stuurt. De mensen moeten steeds ouder worden vanwege de wetenschap en de gezondheidszorg.

I am not normal. And I'll always do what I can to be not normal. Why? Consider what 'normal' is. Normal is what is considered the norm. The thing that most people do. That's the norm. Many people these days don't seem able to distinguish normal from civilised or humane or decent. Is it normal to be afraid of the idiots that make up this 'Islamic State' (which has, in my opinion, very little to…
