Een van de mooiste accounts op Twitter - Cigarette Nostalgia. Deels heel flauw en deels prachtige Françaises die met koele pinot noir + geluksvogeltje in de hand genieten van het leven. Roken, das war einmal. Tegenwoordig daagt u op bij de borrel om de hoek, is het plots gezellig, gaat het eerst over sport en tennis en Jesper de Jong, en dan over Nature One en allerlei andere grimmige Duitse festivals in atoombunkers en op luchtmachtbases, gaan er 2, 3, 4 opdrinkbier in, kletst u over het gebruik van Clearasil en of dat eigenlijk nog wel bestaat en voor u het weet heeft iedereen het weer over zijn of haar politieke voorkeuren. En dan daagt het: vroeger had iedereen hier gerookt, nu rookt er helemaal niemand meer. Het is vandaag Wereld Niet Roken Dag. We proosten, dit keer op Lucky Strike.

Tijdens de Nacht Tegen Seksueel Geweld hebben ruim tweeduizend deelnemers een mars afgelegd door Rotterdam. Met de mars wordt aandacht gevraagd voor seksueel geweld en straatintimidatie. Wereldwijd krijgt namelijk één op de drie vrouwen te maken met seksueel geweld. En dat moet stoppen, vinden de deelnemers. "Het is niet normaal dat je extra moet opletten omdat je een meisje bent."
In een portiek aan de Grienderwaard in Rotterdam is zondagavond brand uitgebroken in de kelderbox. Door de brand ontstond er rook in de kelder en de portiek. Er is niemand gewond geraakt.
"In the future, AI agents will be able to find one another using the Domain Name System (DNS), instead of crawling about and probing ports or checking configured resources," writes The Register.
InfoWorld writes that "numerous proprietary agent registries are on the market, but the Linux Foundation suggests we simply extend the distributed, open Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure we already have."
The foundation is now inviting contributions to the DNS-AID project, a standard way for AI agents to discover, verify, and communicate with one another over DNS that requires no new infrastructure. It enables agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to use DNS as a global, vendor-neutral directory.
While many details remain to be worked out, the proposal suggests domain owners create a new well-known address that can provide a starting point for agents looking for one another: _index._agents.{domain}. This approach ensures that agent discovery remains scalable, secure, and compatible with the protocols that underly the internet, the Linux Foundation said.
The Linux Foundation descrbes DNS-AID as enabling a standard way for AI agents to discover and communicate with one another. "By leveraging the internet's existing Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure, DNS-AID provides a robust, decentralized alternative to the centralized registries and hardcoded URLs currently limiting AI interoperability."
The standard was originally developed by Infoblox, their announcement notes, but "Because the protocol is implementation-agnostic, it functions across any DNS provider, ensuring that organizations maintain control over their agent infrastructure without relying on proprietary, centralized services."

‘I’m very impressed how she handled that’
The Manchester City head coach, Andrée Jeglertz, heaped praise on his side’s prolific striker Khadija Shaw for not allowing speculation about her future to hinder her performances, after she continued her fine goalscoring form with the opening goal at Wembley to help her side complete the Double by lifting the Women’s FA Cup.
The Jamaica striker, who signed a four-year contract on Monday after previously being set to leave City this summer, has scored relentlessly in recent weeks, including the winning goal in their Cup quarter-final in April as well as the winner in their semi-final at Chelsea in May, before nodding in from an Alex Greenwood cross for the first goal in Sunday’s 4-0 victory over Brighton.

ROME (ANP/AFP) - De eindzege in de Ronde van Italië maakte zondag veel los bij Jonas Vingegaard. De Deense kopman van Visma - Lease a Bike liet zijn tranen de vrije loop toen hij de bijbehorende trofee kreeg uitgereikt. Vingegaard had zijn kinderen mee het erepodium op genomen.
"Hen bij de finish zien maakt mijn overwinning nog mooier, het ontroert me tot tranen toe, ze zijn er altijd voor me", zei Vingegaard, nadat hij zich na de finish in de armen van zijn vrouw en twee kinderen wierp. "Het is fantastisch, ik heb mijn hele leven gedroomd van het winnen van deze race."
Vingegaard voegt zich met eindzeges in de Ronde van Italië, Ronde van Frankrijk en Ronde van Spanje bij een illuster gezelschap. Hij is, na Jacques Anquetil, Alberto Contador, Chris Froome, Felice Gimondi, Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx en Vincenzo Nibali, de achtste renner die alle drie de grote rondes op zijn naam heeft staan.
"Het is een beetje surrealistisch om deel uit te maken van deze club, ik denk dat het nog niet helemaal tot me is doorgedrongen", sprak Vingegaard.
