Goed nieuws voor alle (rechtmatige) bezitters van een Toyota Rav4: u heeft 'm nog! Nog, want hier komt het slechte nieuws: de Toyota Rav4 was in 2025 het favoriete doelwit van mensen die de Toyota Rav4 onrechtmatig willen bezitten, beter bekend als autodieven. Kon je natuurlijk op wachten, omdat we dat halverwege afgelopen jaar al zo'n beetje met de natte vinger konden uittekenen alsmede in het wilde weg extrapoleren naar 31 december. De Kia Sportage en de Fiat 500 waren ook nog best populaire jatbakken zodat die hun eervolle plekjes mogen innemen op respectievelijk plaats 2 en 3 om het prachtpodium te completeren. Maar goed, baas boven baas, geen Ferrari, geen Lamborghini, geen Aston Martin en zelfs geen Skoda, de winnaar van van de Jatbakbokaal 2025 is een: Toyota!
For the Chicana feminist theorist Gloria Anzaldúa, rigidity is a sure path to demise. In her manifesto, Borderlands/La Frontera, Anzaldúa presents what she calls a new mestiza consciousness, which advocates for ambiguity and moves “toward a more whole perspective, one that includes rather than excludes.”
Groundbreaking when it was published in 1987, this theory pushed queer, feminist, and cultural scholars to consider how identity is both fluid and informed by several overlapping factors. It also helped to lay the groundwork for branches of study like ecofeminism, which connects the subjugation of women to the subjugation of nature.
“Ritual a las faldas de un volcán” (2025), oil on linen, 120 x 90 x 4 centimeters
Mexican artist Hilda Palafox draws on these lines of inquiry in her exhibition De Tierra y Susurros, or Of Soil and Whispers. Comprised of oil paintings on linen and carved cantera reliefs, this body of work considers a spiritual connection between women and nature and the possibilities for attuning ourselves to our environment once again. “For me, the point where two lines meet lies precisely there: in the conscious decision to pause, to listen, and to pay closer attention,” the artist says in a statement.
Often capturing a moment of respite, several of Palafox’s paintings depict tender acts of care. “Origen,” for example, features two topless figures in the fetal position, cradling a sapling, while “Presagio” is similarly delicate as small yellow butterflies emerge between two women. One of the fluttering insects even lands on a fraying chain-link fence in the foreground, a metaphor for the rigid systems, both internal and external, that Anzaldúa opposed.
Palafox has long been interested in how our bodies inform our experiences, and earlier works typically played with scale and proportion to explore such connections. In De Tierra y Susurros, the artist extends these metaphors to more directly incorporate ecology through a rich palette of Earth tones and vast landscapes that highlight the relationship between humanity and nature. A series of reliefs titled Portrals further entrenches Palafox’s attraction to the in between, as fragments of figures and flora intertwine to form ambiguous intersections.

NEW YORK (ANP) - Entertainmentconcern Paramount Skydance heeft Warner Bros. Discovery in de Verenigde Staten aangeklaagd vanwege de deal die zijn branchegenoot heeft gesloten met Netflix. Paramount Skydance eist dat Warner Bros. meer informatie over de deal deelt.
Rond Warner Bros. ontstond vorig jaar een overnamestrijd. Paramount deed een bod op het concern. In december sloot Warner Bros. echter een akkoord met Netflix, dat wordt gewaardeerd op 82,7 miljard dollar. Paramount verhoogde vervolgens zijn bod naar 108,4 miljard dollar. Hoewel dit bod dus hoger is, wil het bestuur van Warner Bros. doorgaan met de deal met Netflix. Aandeelhouders van Warner Bros. moeten er nog wel over stemmen.
In een brief aan aandeelhouders van Warner Bros. stelt Paramount maandag dat het Warner Bros. om financiële informatie heeft gevraagd. Maar het concern zou geen informatie hebben gedeeld over onder meer hoe het de Netflix-deal heeft gewaardeerd. Aandeelhouders hebben de informatie volgens Paramount wel nodig om "een weloverwogen investeringsbeslissing te kunnen nemen over ons bod".

The dramatically larger corner radius Apple introduced in macOS 26 Tahoe has pushed the invisible resize hit target for windows mostly outside the window itself -- roughly 75% of the 19Ã--19 pixel clickable area now lies beyond the visible boundary. In previous macOS versions, about 62% of that resize target would fall inside the window corner.
Apple removed the visible resize grippy-strip from window corners in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion in July 2011. The visual indicator had served two purposes: showing users where to click and signaling whether a window could be resized at all. Users since then have relied on muscle memory and the reasonable assumption that clicking near the inside corner would initiate a resize. DaringFireball's John Gruber advice: don't upgrade to macOS 26, or downgrade if you already have. he wrote Monday: "Why suffer willingly with a user interface that presents you with absurdities like window resizing affordances that are 75 percent outside the window?"
Doctors say they have achieved the previously impossible -- restoring sight and preventing blindness in people with a rare but dangerous eye conditon called hypotony. From a report: Moorfields hospital in London is the world's first dedicated clinic for the disorder and seven out of eight patients given the pioneering treatment have responded to the therapy, a pilot study shows. One of them -- the first-ever -- is Nicki Guy, 47, who is sharing her story exclusively with the BBC.
She says the results are incredible: "It's life-changing. It's given me everything back. I can see my child grow up. "I've gone from counting fingers and everything being really blurry to being able to see." Currently, she can see and read most lines of letters on an eye test chart. She is one line away from what is legally required for driving - a massive change from being partially sighted, using a magnifying glass for anything close up and having to navigate around the house and outside largely using memory.
"If my vision stays like this for the rest of my life it would be absolutely brilliant. I may not ever be able to drive again but I'll take that!" she says. With hypotony, pressure within the eyeball becomes dangerously low, leading it to cave in on itself.
