Amazing feat by Belgian climber Anak Verhoeven: she's the fourth woman in the world to climb a 9b route. The hardest grade ever climbed by women.

Side project: Wife's favourite watch broke down, not going to pay 219 euro for another Mondaine that runs a 30 euro module inside 🤷‍♂️

@peturdainn What's the plan to fix it? Can you get hold of a replacement module that would fit? Are they generic enough?

Remember: I cannot reply while live-posting, so plz use NFL (Not For Laffy.. no hashtag) so I can skip your replies. THANK YOU.

1/… First, via Lawrence O'Donnell:

J.D. Vance was on the phone the entire time. He wasn’t taking in a word of testimony. Tuberville, to his credit, looking straight ahead, taking it all in as best he can, whatever sense he can make of it

@GottaLaff NFL (who's doing a fantastic job, thank you so much!)

I don't understand the point of an NDA if you sign it with a false name and signature. Anyone who can explain?

For a bit of Sunday happiness & silliness: tell me about some a book you've recently excitedly told someone about and why!

I've talked about Erin Meyer's "Culture Map" because it opened my eye to a lot of intercultural interactions I have in both, my everyday and my work life.

And about Marcin Wicha's "Things I Didn't Throw Out" because it made me laugh and cry at the same time + made me fall in love with Daunt books because I would not have found out about the book without them.

@vicgrinberg 'A Brief History of Seven Killings' by Marlon James, because I loved the Jamaican Patois so much. It takes a while to get into it but after that you'll read it as if it was plain English. And besides that it's just a really good and well-written book.
It came up in conversation because a friend had a very similar experience watching 'Top Boy' on Netflix.

As a kid I got stung by these a looot and indeed after a little while you’re basically ‘immune’

@stux What also helps is to pinch really hard when you pick them. Sounds counterintuitive but it does work!

📽 Ik zet net vaak een film halverwege af, maar Tenet heb ik toch na 25 minuten afgezet.
Net zoals bijna alle films van Nolan was het weer een draak van een film.

@simondh Memento en The Prestige vond ik wel goed. Dunkirk vond ik dan weer zo afgrijselijk dat ik sindsdien niet meer gekeken heb. Vraag me af of ik Oppenheimer moet proberen.

Ik dacht bij mezelf “Hoera, Vrijdagavond. Kast ineensteken. Gesjelleeeeuh.”

(Shoot me, please)

@PhilippeBoey Gratis business-idee: kasten die even plezant zijn om ineen te steken als een lego set. Gegarandeerd binnen de kortste keren rijk als je dat klaar krijgt.

Yeah, I can see how this might be a problem
