What a heartbreaking profile of our friend Evan by Joe Parkinson and drew hinshaw. I remember the bike day like it was yesterday. Can't wait for the next one wsj.com/articles/wsj-r…

Totaal irrelevant, maar waarom is het design van de 🐶-peiling een screenshot van een Excel (versie 2003) met conditional formatting? Haha zo heerlijk kneuterig Nederlands. Niemand denkt blijkbaar: laat de stagiair dit ff oppoetsen in een kwartiertje.

Belangrijk om je juwelen niet altijd in de kluis te laten liggen. Deze lag alweer stof te happen. Maar ook oude parels verdienen daglicht:
