Press & media
Journalism & opinion
Between 2012 and 2019, my opinions regularly appeared in various media. After making fun of the same columnist once too often, I was blacklisted and quietly sidelined. Just kidding. I simply stopped trying quite so often. There is also my opinion blog, which is very good and you should definitely read. An entirely impartial recommendation, obviously.

Satire
I also contributed to De Rechtzetting (2011–2014) and The European Rightly (2013–2014). Expect approximately the level of solemnity those names suggest.
