This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Naomi are back to recap All Stars 10, Episode 3. Aja is gagged she's not in the top two and they ask: what's the point of Melanation Station if there's no clear goal? They question whether alliances actually work on All Stars, and Bob recalls Naomi's iconic $25k selfie moment. They dig into the Aja vs. Olivia confrontation, and Bob and Naomi discuss whether the queens should be assigning partners for makeover challenges. They review the makeover challenge looks, break down the queens' lyrics, and ask how much lyrics vs. looks really matter. Bob even writes his own verse for the challenge—at the risk of being called corny by Maddy Morphosis—and they update their picks for who's going to take the All Stars 10 crown.

Amerika se minister van Buitelandse Sake, Marco Rubio, sê hy verwag geen deurbraak in onderhandelinge oor die oorlog in Oekraïne voor president Donald Trump en sy Russiese eweknie, Vladimir Putin, mekaar nie persoonlik ontmoet nie. Oekraïne se president Volodymyr Zelensky het Rusland gekritiseer wat ʼn laevlak-afvaardiging na Turkye gestuur het vir onderhandelinge oor die oorlog, en beskuldig Putin dat hy nie ernstig is oor vrede nie. Rubio sê hy het nie veel hoop vir vandag se samesprekings nie:

Een jaar geleden kwamen PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB met hun hoofdlijnenakkoord. De belofte was niet gering: 'HOOP, LEF EN TROTS'. Of, in een eerder concept: 'Bouwstenen voor doorbraken'. Dat zou een kabinet van experts vervolgens uitdiepen tot een regeerprogramma. En dat zou worden voorzien van een serie maatschappelijke akkoorden, zodat het draagvlak veel breder kon zijn dan bij vier fracties in de Tweede Kamer alleen.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger wandelen door de geschiedenis van het eerste jaar van de coalitie van PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB en noteren een reeks opvallend consistente politieke patronen. En noteren bijna vergeten momenten waarvan we nu begrijpen dat zij grote impact kregen. Geert Wilders kreeg drie keer op rij niét wat hij verlangde en nam wraak op Dick Schoof en zijn coalitiecollega's.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show!Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Wat zien we nu? Het is opmerkelijk achteraf dat de twee cruciale documenten voor het slagen van deze coalitie nooit in de Kamer besproken zijn op inhoud en betekenis. Noch de rechtsstaatverklaring noch het regeerprogramma. Het waren papieren tijgers, een soort wapenstilstandsverdrag.De enige politicus die de verklaring écht benutte was Geert Wilders. Hij rekt deze voortdurend op met zijn erupties in sociale media die de premier en NSC weigeren 'te recenseren'. Dat benut hij vervolgens ook voor zijn eigenstandige buitenlandse politiek op het wereldtoneel, die bedremmeld zwijgend wordt geslikt.Vanaf het onderhandelingsproces dat het hoofdlijnenakkoord dankzij het duo Elbert Dijkgraaf en Richard van Zwol opleverde, is de coalitie met die methode blijven overleggen. Steeds kwam er uit de koker van de vier fractieleiders een conclusie, die inhield dat men akkoord was met verdaging van de voorgenomen besluiten.In plaats van regeringsarbeid door ministers kwam een permanente kabinetsformatie tussen fractievoorzitters, waarbij overeenstemming op concrete beleidspunten vaak wordt uitgesteld. Zowel bij Prinsjesdag als bij de Voorjaarsnota was dit de werkwijze die conflicten en hun oplossing vermeed.Kabinet en coalitie kennen geen gezamenlijk aanvaard en geregeld consensusmechanisme. Zowel tussen de Kamerfracties niet als evenmin binnen het kabinet of tussen kabinet en fracties. De premier kan dat mechanisme niet vormen, omdat hij 'van niemand' is. De vier vicepremiers zijn door de fractieleiders politiek gemarginaliseerd.Een onthullend interview met NSC-staatssecretaris Tjebbe van Oostenbruggen schilderde de effecten hiervan. Premier, minister van Financiën en hijzelf zaten urenlang in een antichambre te wachten op een sein van de fractieleiders, terwijl ondersteuning door experts niet welkom bleek. De enige die als een soort oliemannetje weet te opereren is Geert Wilders, zoals ook bleek bij de Onderwijsbegroting.De machtsverhoudingen zijn in het jaar sinds ‘HOOP, LEF EN TROTS' drastisch veranderd. De coalitie bestaat gezien de peilingen feitelijk nog uit twee partijen die samen zo'n 50 zetels halen. De eerst zo gehavende oppositie is krachtig terug als politieke factor – ook vanwege het belang van de Eerste Kamer.Naast het onvermogen van kabinet en coalitie is de herverkiezing van Donald Trump van cruciale betekenis gebleken. Zijn aantreden zorgde voor een volledig ander discours over volledig andere prioriteiten dan de coalitie in mei 2024 zich kon voorstellen. Europa, defensie, handelsoorlogen, recessie, monetaire orkanen en 'strategische autonomie' slaan nu de klok.Pogingen tot afleiding met lintjes, 130 kilometer of tripjes naar de Efteling werken inmiddels averechts. Binnen de PVV-gelederen breekt openlijke onmin uit door irritaties tussen hun bewindslieden en met Wilders. De teloorgang van Pieter Omtzigt en zijn partij, de motie-Eerdmans en de instorting van de plannen tot woningbouw destabiliseren kabinet en coalitie.In de zomer moet bovendien een lijn gevonden worden over de Europese meerjarenbegroting. Van enige samenhang is geen sprake en de Nederlandse begroting is op weg naar een tekort boven de kritische grens van 3 procent van het bruto nationaal product. Daarmee kan Nederland in Brussel slechts hoon oogsten. Zijn we hiermee terug in voorjaar 2012, toen Geert Wilders wegvluchtte voor Brusselse consequenties?***Verder luisteren501 - Den Haag zonder Omtzigt en een Voorjaarsnota zonder beleid497 – De krankzinnige tarievenoorlog van Donald Trump495 - De zeven burgeroorlogen van Dick Schoof493 - Het belastingkaartenhuis wankelt491 - De voortdurende twijfels van Nieuw Sociaal Contract480 - De dilemma's van links474 – Parlementair historicus Joop van den Berg: “De democratie is in groot gevaar.

Today's poem is hoop snake by Rebecca Wee. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on October 21, 2022. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “A few days ago, a friend told me that Spanish Moss, a moss I love, the way it droops down over the water oaks like mint-colored lace draping the world in a gauzy dappled light, was actually killing the trees. But this myth is gratefully not true. We investigated further, and it turns out Spanish moss gets no nutrients from the trees, but rather takes the moisture and sunlight out of the air. It's also not a moss. It's a bromeliad. It's also not Spanish, but native to the U.S. and Mexico and South America. I like that I can still love Spanish moss and can still think of those beautiful fabric-like threads floating through the canopy as benevolent. I want all the good myths to be true. Because I want to believe in wonder.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Today we're headed back in the time machine to before the pandemic when everyone but us read this one m/m hockey book and lost their collective minds! Heated Rivalry is one of those books that romance lovers place high up on their keeper shelf, and we're talking about why, about how it really knocks sports romance out of the park (yes, we're aware that there is no knocking out of parks in hockey), and how it might be one of the books that launched a thousand hockey ships. We're talking about erotica vs. erotic romance vs. romance, about sexy secrets, about first names and about why it's always sexy when people say "I love you" in a foreign language.
