The IONIQ 5 is missing.
People are ditching Teslas not just because Musk is a disaster, but because better options exist. BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Audi, Rivian—tons of EVs outperform Tesla in luxury, reliability, and ethics. Even former fans are done with Musk’s nonsense. The consensus? Keep the EV, lose the fascist billionaire.

[16:02] Een pact van buitenbeentjes; Francis van Broekhuizen en Dominic Seldis in theatershow
Het lukte niet erg, bij de eerste repetities. Contrabassist Dominic Seldis en operazangeres Francis van Broekhuizen werkten aan hun theaterconcert maar liepen vast. Oorzaak? ,,We kletsen te veel. Het werd té gezellig.’’ Die sfeer werd de basis voor hun programma The Francis & Dominic Show.

"I don't understand why I should expand my borders if my country is dying out, degrading. I have no doubt that my country's soldiers should not be on the territory of Syria, Georgia, Ukraine or other countries. I do not understand why my taxes are not spent on the development of my country, on improving the quality of life of my family, on building houses, roads, on opening schools, kindergartens and clinics.

[16:03] Rechter veroordeelt oud-burgemeester van Groningen Koen Schuiling voor schennispleging. ‘Dit is niet normaal’
Koen Schuiling is veroordeeld door de rechtbank Zwolle. Het staat volgens de politierechter vast dat de oud-burgemeester van Groningen met ontbloot bovenlichaam in zijn auto reed en masturbeerde. De rechter vond een verklaring van een vrachtwagenchauffeur die Schuiling in zijn auto zag overtuigend genoeg.
