De Deense pianist en componist Søren Bebe staat aan de voorhoede van de Europese jazz en wordt vaak vergeleken met Scandinavische grootheden zoals Tord Gustavsen en Esbjörn Svensson. Sinds de oprichting van zijn trio in 2007 heeft Bebe een sound ontwikkeld die lyrische schoonheid, Scandinavische stemmingen en muzikale verhalen aaneenweeft. https://hvdommelen.nl/jazz/BebeS.html

Sonic Youth is een experimentele noiserockband uit New York, opgericht in 1981 door Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore en Kim Gordon. In hun vroege carrière werd de band voornamelijk gerekend tot een band uit de no wave-scene. Hun muziek houdt geen rekening met muzikale conventies. Op dat vlak kregen ze vroeger het label punk opgespeld, enkel en alleen al voor hun kijk op muziek. Het negeren van die muzikale conventies uit zich onder andere in de manier waarop ze hun instrumenten bespelen. Het gebruik van schroevendraaiers, drumstokken, compleet verbouwde gitaren en alternatieve stemmingen vormt de basis van hun muzikale proces. https://hvdommelen.nl/s/SonicY.html

Bart Nijman wrote that the stuck plastic cap, in his view, symbolized the emptiness of European innovation. He stated that large technology companies and innovations in transport, logistics, and energy were mostly located in the United States and China. Nijman criticized the EU bureaucracy in Brussels and wrote that, in his opinion, it imposed new rules on workers and entrepreneurs while European companies weakened due to a lack of innovation and high energy prices. He mentioned companies in the steel and defense sector and German, French, and Italian car manufacturers. In contrast to Europe, he highlighted a man in the United States who, according to him, made cars drive with rocket boosters and thereby set an acceleration record of 0 to 100 in less than a second. Nijman concluded with the question of whether Europe would emerge from its own malaise and referenced images from several French cities that day. #innovatie #EU #technologie (translated)

Nadja Natalie Isaksen criticized the media's coverage of 112-year-old Kirsten Schwalbe and her deceased husband being listed in the Bovrup registry with DNSAP's membership details. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had set the record for the oldest Dane ever just the Wednesday before, and that she had shared anecdotes from her life through TV MIDTVEST. Isaksen emphasized that Nazism was a terrible ideology, but did not believe that justified the media confronting a 112-year-old with matters from 85 years earlier. She wrote that several media outlets had contacted Schwalbe, and that a journalist from TV MIDTVEST had mentioned that the encounter with the issue had left her in a vulnerable state. According to Isaksen, the Bovrup registry contained information about individuals who had been deceased for at least ten years. She therefore believed it should be investigated how Schwalbe's name had become publicly available and pointed out that political affiliation was a particularly sensitive piece of personal information. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had subsequently told TV MIDTVEST that she felt bad about having been a member of the party, did not sympathize with the Nazis, and regretted not having investigated what she was signing. According to Isaksen, Schwalbe had explained that the signature was needed to allow the couple to buy a house, and that she had let the men handle such matters back then. Isaksen praised TV MIDTVEST for taking good care of Schwalbe and for giving her the opportunity to tell her version. She wrote that she hoped the media coverage had not caused Schwalbe to withdraw from the public eye and encouraged people to instead cherish her stories. #KirstenSchwalbe #Danmark #Mediekritik (translated)

This is not a game. This is not poker. A vote against Canada is dangerous bluff that will lead to years of uncertainty and missed opportunities for the residents of Alberta and the rest of Canada. "This is not a game. This is not poker. A vote against Canada is dangerous bluff that will lead to years of uncertainty and missed opportunities for the residents of Alberta and the rest of Canada," Carney said. Some outside our borders are trying to break us so that they can have us in their power. A vote for an independent Alberta would play into the hands of Trump, who is waging a trade war with Canada, Carney reasoned. According to Carney, this must "never" happen. #Alberta #Onafhankelijkheid #Canada (translated)
