The fact that so many prominent self-professed pro-democracy organizations and people are still active on X today is truly a sign of these dramatic times.

Antwerp, Belgium.
A green Lovens cargo bike with a black pannier bag is parked on a city sidewalk, carrying a net-wrapped Christmas tree in its front compartment.

Just been reminded of this heartwarming picture of a rabbit and an eagle. Morning all
Small animal tracks extend across otherwise untouched snow and abruptly stop. Either side of the point where they stop, there are marks from a bird’s wings

I re-read the 2017 Trump I National Security Strategy and the differences to the 2025 strategy are really striking. This reads like a document from different times

I want to go back to a time I never truly knew: book 90 minutes in the morning every day “to do my correspondence”. And then to actually work.

The joys of my job.

Cycling to a breakfast meeting in the Antwerp City Hall (right photo) brings me via the Cathedral of Our Lady (left photo).

The ornate interior of Antwerp City Hall, featuring a grand staircase leading to a tall, decorated Christmas tree. The space includes a vaulted stained glass ceiling, large chandeliers, wooden benches, detailed wall murals, and sculptures along the balustrades and upper gallery.

I'm not making excuses for anyone, it's toerag behaviour, but I do think Apple phasing out the earphone jack on iPhones is part of the reason this happens. It raised the barrier of entry for listening to shit on your phone privately.

CONFIRMED: Oxford University Press has named ‘rage bait’ as the Oxford Word of the Year 2025.

#OxfordWOTY
Oxford Word of the Year 2025 poster featuring the term 'rage bait' with an image of a fishing hook, set against a pink and white background. Oxford Word of the Year poster featuring the term "rage bait." The text defines it as a noun, originating from a compound of the words 'rage' and 'bait,' described as "an attractive morsel of food, on the model of the already existing clickbait." The background is soft pink with abstract design elements.

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Zeg vriendjes uit het Antwerpse, een familielid is op zoek naar een proper huurappartementje op fietsafstand van Berchem station, liefst minstens 45 m² groot en binnen een budget van 800 euro. Wie heeft de gouden tip?

En delen mag natuurlijk 🙏
