Er is iets fundamenteel mis is met hoe wij de wereld hebben ingericht. Dat gaan we niet verhelpen met vaderschapsverlof, loontransparantie en discussies over de keuzes die vrouwen maken, stelt Maren Laterveer. Voor de oplossing hoeven we het wiel niet opnieuw uit te vinden.

Je hebt nieuwe apen, je hebt oude apen. En dit is een NIEUWE! De Colobus congoensis, om specifiek te zijn. Al mogen wij als ingewijden 'Likweli' zeggen. Oranje lippen en een heerlijke aapsoonlijkheid, wat kun je nog meer wensen van de slechts vijfde nieuwe aapsoort die de afgelopen 75 jaar in Afrika ontdekt werd. En dan rijst toch de vraag: welke apen heeft de wereld nog meer voor ons in petto? Heerlijke screenshots onderstaand.

Fortinet admins have two more reasons to clear their calendars after CISA confirmed a pair of critical FortiSandbox bugs are being actively exploited. The two bugs, tracked as CVE-2026-39808 and CVE-2026-25089, both carry CVSS scores of 9.1 and affect FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud, and FortiSandbox PaaS. According to Fortinet, they are OS command injection flaws that allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via specially crafted HTTP requests, requiring neither valid credentials nor user interaction. Fortinet released fixes for CVE-2026-39808 in April and CVE-2026-25089 in June, warning in advisories published at the time that successful exploitation could lead to remote code execution via low-complexity attacks. Fortinet has not publicly confirmed that either flaw is being exploited in the wild, but CISA has now added both bugs to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Inclusion in the catalog means CISA has evidence that the vulnerabilities are being actively exploited, although the agency rarely attributes attacks or discloses how widespread they are. For federal civilian agencies, bugs landing in KEV come with homework. Binding Operational Directive 26-04 requires them to patch within CISA's deadlines or pull the plug on vulnerable products if they can't be adequately secured. Fortinet has not updated its advisories to mark either flaw as exploited and did not respond to The Register's questions. CISA isn't the only one reporting attackers poking at these vulnerabilities. Security firm Defused said it had observed exploitation attempts against both flaws this week alongside another FortiSandbox vulnerability, CVE-2026-39813. Not every exploit appears to be doing its job, though, as Defused described the one targeting CVE-2026-25089 as "vibecoded" and likely broken, adding that it has yet to see a working public exploit. CISA also used Thursday's KEV update to flag another fresh concern: Microsoft's newly patched SharePoint Server bug, CVE-2026-58644. The critical deserialization vulnerability, rated 9.8, allows authenticated attackers with Site Owner privileges to execute arbitrary code remotely against vulnerable SharePoint servers. Microsoft warned that the bug can be exploited remotely over the internet with relatively little effort, making it one to patch sooner rather than later. ®

A 34 years old photo, taken in Kamakura, Japan, in May 1992, the year I started with medium format photography. A Hasselblad 503 CX with the Planar CF 2.8/80 were then my companions.

I remember that, in order to get used to this camera, I sold all my 135 film format gear. So, medium format or nothing.

The system grew to a very elaborate one, which I sold sometime in 2020 because of weight. After going round many smaller cameras I ended up coming back to medium format film with the Fuji GW and GSW 6x9 cameras, and the Contax 645 system. Ironically, the heaviest Contax set up is heavier that the heaviest Hasselblad set up I had.

It's all so silly....

Pete Hegseth wants to win the war on Iran with a secret weapon: testosterone. Meanwhile, JD Vance is worried about how to eat an ice-cream

Are the men of the Trump administration OK? Feels like it’s been a tricky week for some of them. On the one hand, you’ll note the US is already rebooting its Iran war. Clearly, many will feel this latest version of the conflict is coming too soon after the last one, with fans simply not given enough time to miss the IP. A lot like the live-action Moana currently falling off the screen in cinemas. On the other hand, defence secretary Pete Hegseth seems to have moved the defence department beyond even its latter-day renaming as the department of war, posting a video entitled “The High-T Department of War” in which he announced mandatory testosterone screening for US troops aged 30 and over. We’ll get to JD Vance being unintentionally aroused by footage of Joe Biden eating ice-cream in a minute. Or as soon as I can face it.

Even the lower-ranking White House operatives seem to be spinning out. You may remember the UK’s political betting scandal, where various police officers, campaign officials and aides to former prime minister Rishi Sunak were arrested or investigated for putting bets on the last general election date. Everything’s bigger in the US, of course, so in some ways it’s not a surprise to learn that the guy who operates Trump’s teleprompter has allegedly made $100,000 on Kalshi by placing bets on words or topics appearing in Trump’s speeches. He is currently on unpaid administrative leave, according to press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who yesterday added solemnly, “there are very strict ethical guidelines here at the White House”. A statement so hilarious that I refuse to believe Leavitt herself didn’t say it for a bet. Probably with Hegseth. “Dude, I know I can get it in. I back myself. And if I do say it, you owe me $1,000 and an off-the-books testosterone shot.”
