@DiscussingFilm This is disgraceful from Netflix, every other studio is regretting that they passed on the Michael movie that ended up being a huge success. So they make this in retaliation to try and gain some money from it all? What a joke.

There is no such thing as you decide if MJ was innocent or not. That decision was already made by the jury in 2005.
If every monthly Spotify listener of Michael Jackson with a Netflix subscription has the balls to cancel that subscription immediately, then I think we will be dealing a very serious blow.

The original Dutch flag was orange, white, and blue

Orange stood for William, Prince of Orange: the man who led the revolt against Spanish rule and founded the Republic

In the 1600s, orange disappeared from the flag

The orange on ship flags turned red due to the salt water

But the orange stayed... it just moved from cloth to culture

Today our streets, canal boats, tompouces, beer cups, and clothing all turn orange for King's Day

This is why as a man, you need to marry a woman who is truly really interested in your daily well-being (AKA love you for you) over anything else.

I had a massive reality check last night about how Instagram is actively destroying long-term relationships by convincing us that love is supposed to be a 24/7 "soft life" aesthetic.

It was late, the apartment was stifling, and the power had randomly tripped. I was lying in the dark, scrolling through IG, watching a reel of some influencer getting surprised with a Cartier bracelet and a baecation. The caption was: “Never settle for less.”

Honestly, I let the internet poison my mind for a second. That familiar, creeping panic started settling in. I started wondering if my own relationship had lost the "spark" because we hadn’t done any grand romantic gestures lately. We were basically just splitting the crushing weight of adulthood.
Then I looked over at my man. There was no curated aesthetic. No cinematic background music. He was completely exhausted from his own day, but there he was, sitting on the bare floor in the dark, using his phone flashlight to help me count and sort out my ID Vogue orders so my morning deliveries wouldn't be delayed.

The entire Instagram illusion just shattered for me.
Social media has gaslit us into believing that if a relationship isn’t actively triggering your anxiety with constant highs and butterflies, it’s "dead." We mistake peace for boredom. We want a burning fire, completely forgetting that fires eventually burn the house down.
The harsh truth? Most long-term relationships aren't held together by overwhelming passion. They are held together by a VOW to look at each other in the middle of a brutal economy and say, "I am not going to let you drown today."

The internet will call that "settling." But the internet doesn't know a damn thing about what it actually takes to keep the water out and the house warm when things get dark. Stop letting a 60-second PR campaign ruin your real life.

40% of American kitchens contain an appliance invented in a shed in the Netherlands

Fred van der Weij was a Dutch consultant who wanted crispy fries without a deep fryer

He worked independently, developed the rapid air technology in his home workshop, and sold the patent in 2009

Van der Weij died in 2022

Most people who own an air fryer have never heard his name

The Dutch solve the problem

Someone else puts their name on the box

People often don’t realize that you can’t talk to Asians the same way you talk to Europeans or Westerners. There’s a cultural expectation that historical context, respect, and subtlety are treated differently what might seem casual or humorous in the West is deeply offensive in Japan, In Japan, context, respect, and subtlety guide almost every interaction. Unlike in many Western countries, where directness is valued, Japanese communication often relies on reading between the lines.

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

The country that invented land reclamation now builds the world's coastlines for hire

Dutch engineers are the best in the world
They now just do their best work abroad

@gotrice2024 A child’s room often becomes their safe place, especially when home doesn’t feel emotionally safe. Parents should make their children feel safe around them.

Dutch telco company is going to allow a hackergroup publish private data of 1/3 of the entire population instead of paying the measly sum of 1 million euros.
Now our data is used as a PR device for the hacker group, which is probably much more valuable to them than a million.

🇳🇱 Países Bajos cierra los Juegos Olímpicos de invierno con 20 medallas:

🥇 🔟 oros
🥈 7️⃣ platas
🥉 3️⃣ bronces

Con un país llano y sin montañas, se lo juegan todo a una potente estructura de patinaje de velocidad… y les sale bien.

[Tymon 🇪🇺 @tywojci]

this whole Netherlands country surely has an impressive run, someone should definitely think about hosting the 2038 Olympics there
