Drie aanschaffen van vooraf waar ik enorm tevreden van ben in coronatijd

We zitten nu al onze derde week thuis. De vriendin en ik werken beide 80% en kunnen (gelukkig) onze job van thuis uit regelen.

The Trump Presidency Is Over

Peter Wehner in The Atlantic: It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain.
