Feyenoord is deze week op trainingskamp in België. De mannen van nieuwbakken trainer Giovanni van Bronckhorst maken gebruik van het complex waar de Belgische nationale ploeg ook hun trainingen afwerkt. Er werd op de eerste dag fanatiek getraind, met één opvallende afwezige.

A European naval mission boarded a Russia-linked oil tanker suspected of sailing under a false flag on Monday, the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said.

I never thought I’d miss punctuation so much, but as the pauses on social media videos are cut to shreds, I wonder where the assault on our senses will end

It’s not the worst thing about social media, but something dreadful is happening in short-form videos. At first I thought my phone or my broadband was on the blink. Then I assumed I was just unlucky, that this aberration was practised only by the creators of the very few videos I chanced to see. And now I realise that they all do it. It’s mad, it’s driving me mad, it’s going to drive us all mad. Or perhaps it’s just me. I’m the bonkers one, lost and alone in a world I no longer understand.

It’s the way these things are edited. The pauses between sentences, or even the pauses between clauses within sentences, are cut out. Each sentence clatters in to the next, so whoever is talking sounds as if they’ve lost control of their speech. Words tumble out of them in a frantically fast but disjointed torrentThis is my attempt to reproduce on the page how absurd it soundsI really can’t stand itIt’s a crime against civilised discourseIt’s both a symptom and a cause of madnessI never thought I’d miss punctuation and breaths this muchBut it turns out you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s goneTrue thatPreachOr whatever it is they sayI’ll stop now.

It is hoped opening of unit tackling narcotics trafficking will deter people from visiting it as pilgrimage site

Austria has opened a police station in the birthplace of Adolf Hitler in an attempt to “neutralise” its toxic legacy, after years of debate over how to stop neo-Nazis visiting it as a pilgrimage site.

Hitler was born on 20 April 1889 in a rented flat in the centre of Braunau am Inn and spent the first weeks of his life there.

With soulful eyes and ‘reverse chicken legs’, greyhounds are challenging to sketch. At a fundraising event in Melbourne, Josh Nicholas tries his hand

I’ve done life drawing before, but this time I am a bit worried. The woman across the room from me has done life drawing too, “but not with dogs”.

The problem with drawing people from life is they tend to move. The same is true of greyhounds, but they also don’t understand when you ask them to hold a pose.

Tesla's latest vehicle has two wheels, no motor, and a target market still mastering walking: the $225 Balance Bike for Kids. The contraption, designed for children aged two to five, "features a lightweight magnesium frame, adjustable seat and futuristic design," and can handle up to 35 kg. The price tag puts it at the higher end of such devices. Cycling Weekly recommends the Hornit Airo at £139, although there are plenty of alternatives aimed at introducing children to two wheels. Although a manually powered bicycle might be a surprising choice for Tesla, a company that made its name selling electric cars, there is some historical precedent – Morris and Triumph, for example, both began in the bicycle trade. Still, a Tesla fan and their money are soon parted. The company says preorders open on July 31, although only existing Tesla vehicle owners are eligible to buy one. The determined can already find units on auction sites. We spotted one on eBay that would set a buyer back a cool $1,200 plus shipping from the US – quite a premium for a toddler to learn how to use a bike. Then again, another Musk venture persuaded fans to queue up for a $500 "flamethrower" that was really a glorified blowtorch, so perhaps a four-figure toddler bike isn't such a hard sell. In this case, lessons learned about balance might prove useful when it comes to landing a Starship on the lunar surface or training the Tesla Optimus robot, which took an embarrassing tumble at a Miami event last year. It is also worth wondering just how old those kiddies, about to receive their Tesla Balance Bikes, will be when SpaceX finally manages to land a crew in a Starship on the Moon. ®
