Goedemorgen @vandaaginside, worden deze twee kanjers nog uitgenodigd deze week?
Een goed gesprek gegarandeerd! 🔥🔥
Gewoon één van de 150,
Die bij elk wetsvoorstel vraagt:
“Wordt het makkelijker of moeilijker voor de burger?”
“Moet de overheid dit wel bepalen?”
“Kan dit slimmer of goedkoper?”

Eens, maar nooit meer @gemZoetermeer. Dat was een veel te lange enquête over veel te veel dingen die jullie geen zier aangaan. Stop daarmee.

Is dit een rups @gemZoetermeer? Ik zou dan voorstellen : lekker laten zitten. Die struik gaat er misschien aan, maar de omgeving heeft vlinders nodig. @vlinderNL

Ha @arjenlubach #tarriftalk. Luister de eerste 15 minuten van deze podcast voor een heel nieuwe blik op de #tarriffs. Is het een vooropgezet plan van @realDonaldTrump? Of toch een zinloze #complottheorie? Oordeel zelf, nav een kwartiertje audio!

Hmm.. What happens if @realDonaldTrump states that tariffs should be settled in #Bitcoin? Is that even possible? @grok

Hey @MNightShyamalan, I’ve got a psychological drama pitch for Blinding Edge—twins, DID, and a fractured family. I'd love to see it :) grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_7f68…

Title (Tentative): Echoes of One
Genre: Psychological Drama/Thriller
Logline: After a tragic car crash claims one parent, the surviving spouse fractures into two personas—mother and father—to raise their twin children, but when the twins reunite as adults, they must unravel the truth of their upbringing and decide whether to heal or shatter the fragile illusion holding their family together.
Core Story Beats:
The Setup: A happy couple in their 30s, living in a remote house, welcomes twins into their lives. A devastating car crash kills one parent (let’s say the father, per my earlier lean, though it could go either way). The mother, reeling from grief, develops Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), splitting into herself and a version of her late husband to keep the family intact.
The Twist: The twins grow up with "Mom" and "Dad" alternating in one body—sometimes nurturing, sometimes arguing violently within earshot. By age 5, they sense something’s off, comparing their life to "normal" families, and begin to play along with the charade.
The Fallout: As teens, the situation spirals—erratic switches and worsening mental health lead to the parent’s institutionalization and the twins’ separation into different foster homes.
The Reunion: At 24, the twins, now shaped by divergent paths (one confrontational, one accommodating), find each other and visit their parent in a mental hospital. They face a fractured figure oscillating between "Mom" and "Dad," forcing them to grapple with their past and their own identities.
The Climax: One twin pushes for confrontation, demanding the "real" parent emerge, while the other clings to the dual personas, fearing the loss of both. A revelation—perhaps the parent admits the DID was a conscious choice at first, before it spiraled—shifts their perspectives. Do they force integration, accept the duality, or walk away?
Themes: Identity, family bonds, the cost of love, and the blurry line between coping and collapse.
Why It Works
Emotional Hook: The parent’s DID isn’t just a plot device—it’s a heartbreaking act of love turned tragic, resonating with anyone who’s fought to hold a family together.
Twin Dynamic: Their differing approaches (confrontation vs. accommodation) mirror real sibling divides, grounding the psychological weirdness in relatable tension.
Cinematic Potential: The remote house, eerie switches between personas, and the stark hospital reunion offer visceral visuals and sound design opportunities.

The twins’ differing approaches to their parent’s DID and the reunion at age 24 could create a rich dynamic, highlighting their individual personalities, coping mechanisms, and how their upbringing shaped them. Since they’ve grown up with the same bizarre reality—raised by one parent embodying both "Mom" and "Dad"—their divergence could stem from how they processed that trauma, their roles within the family, and their lives after being separated. Here’s how they might differ, with some possibilities to chew on:
Twin 1: The Confrontational One
Approach: This twin—let’s call them Alex for now—might be bold, direct, and fed up with pretense. Having spent years wrestling with the absurdity of their childhood, Alex could be determined to confront their parent head-on during the reunion. They’d demand clarity: “Who are you right now? Mom? Dad? Or someone else entirely?” Alex might see the DID as a betrayal—a lie that stole a "normal" parent from them—and refuse to play along anymore. They could push for their parent to seek treatment or even reject the "other" persona outright, especially if it’s the "Dad" they blame for harsher moments growing up.
Motivation: Anger and a need for closure. Alex might have spent their separated years stewing over unanswered questions, maybe even researching DID to understand it, only to conclude it’s a wall between them and their real parent. They’d want truth over comfort.
Behavior in the Scene: Alex might arrive at the mental hospital with a list of grievances, pacing, voice raised, testing their parent’s switches. If "Mom" emerges, they might soften briefly, only to snap back if "Dad" takes over. They’d challenge the other twin to stop enabling the façade.
Twin 2: The Accommodator
Approach: The second twin—say, Jamie—could take a gentler, more empathetic tack. Jamie might have internalized the "play along" mindset from childhood, seeing it as a way to keep the peace and preserve what’s left of their family. They’d approach the reunion with caution, maybe even nostalgia, willing to engage whichever persona shows up. If "Mom" appears, they’d ask about old lullabies; if "Dad," they’d bring up a fishing trip that never happened but was promised. Jamie might not see the DID as a lie but as their parent’s desperate love—a broken attempt to shield them from loss.
Motivation: Connection and stability. After years apart, Jamie might crave the familiarity of their parent’s dual roles, fearing that confrontation could shatter what little bond remains. They could have spent their time apart idealizing the past, even the weirdness of it.
Behavior in the Scene: Jamie might sit close, touch their parent’s hand, and speak softly, adapting to the shifts. If Alex pushes, Jamie could defend their parent—“They did their best!”—or try to mediate, torn between loyalty to their sibling and their own need to hold on.
How Their Differences Play Out
Conflict Between Them: Alex’s aggression could clash with Jamie’s patience, sparking a sibling rift. Imagine Alex storming out of the hospital room, accusing Jamie of cowardice, while Jamie stays behind, whispering to their parent. Or maybe Jamie’s refusal to challenge the status quo infuriates Alex, who sees it as complicity in their childhood confusion.
Impact on the Parent: The parent’s alters might react differently to each twin. "Mom" could soften toward Jamie’s warmth but retreat from Alex’s hostility, while "Dad" might argue back with Alex but grow distant with Jamie’s gentleness. This could trigger rapid switches, leaving the twins—and the audience—disoriented.
Long-Term Choices: Alex might push for legal or medical intervention, like petitioning to oversee their parent’s care, while Jamie might visit secretly, maintaining the old dynamic. One wants to break the cycle; the other wants to live in it.
What Shapes Their Differences?
Childhood Roles: Maybe Alex was the "protector," shielding Jamie from "Dad’s" temper, while Jamie was the "pleaser," soothing "Mom." Those patterns could carry into adulthood.
Separation Experiences: If Alex ended up in a stable foster home, they might resent their parent more, while Jamie, bouncing between chaotic placements, might cling to the past as a warped comfort.
Personality: Alex could be pragmatic and assertive, Jamie introspective and sentimental—classic nature-plus-nurture split.
In my mind, their approaches hinge on how they’ve made peace (or not) with their upbringing. Alex wants to dismantle the illusion; Jamie wants to live in its cracks. How do you see their personalities shaping up? And what might push one to shift toward the other’s stance? This sibling tension could be the heartbeat of your story’s climax!

Very practical USA-EU: it's a 500 year old startup vs a serval millennia old legacy system. Neither - in all aspects - is better than the other; Both are very different and both have their unique pros and cons. Recognizing that could be a basis for understanding.

Remember you said you were "waiting for the dip"? ... Well... #Bitcoin
Dear @CommunityNotes , is this right??
"Thought for the week. There are currently 58 million #millionaires in the world. -- What would happen if each of them would want to buy just ONE #bitcoin?

today. With a 24 hour volume of around 32 billion (miljard) usd, we find that only roughly 15.000 bitcoin switched owner per hour.
Therefore, if all millionaires tried to buy one bitcoin on the same day, or even in the same month, or year.. It cannot be done and bitcoin would...
