I feel like I'm having a kind of anti-AI psychosis where I suspect any content I come across to be AI. Today in a Bolt taxi for example, the driver was playing some soul song and the lyrics and the beat both sounded like it was made by AI. It's making it really difficult to enjoy creative works...

There is currently a giant hole in the center of Brünn where the new Dornych district is being built. It is one of the few projects in the EU that remind me of Chinese-scale construction sites.

Redesigning my #book cover to avoid being mistaken for generative AI. I need some #design tips. What goes between Odyssey and the author name? It's a dark frontier #fiction featuring a young girl hunting down the man who kidnapped her sister on a lost continent. Anything else that can be improved?

Back in 2020 I was supposed to take part in a final exhibition as part of the IB Art course. Due to covid, the exhibition was canceled and my work never got to see the light of day. I found my own authentic venue for it, and abandoned it there. The Clash Between Humanity and Nature (2020).

Tree cover in cities isn't just for the aesthetics; it's necessary if we want summers in Europe to remain livable.

Urban areas are hotter than forests. EU’s Copernicus satellites recorded a difference of about 23°C on land surfaces in the most affected areas of Europe during last week’s heatwave. We’re committed to planting 3 billion trees by 2030 and promoting sustainable living through the European Bauhaus.

This map displays the land surface temperature patterns across Belgium on June 24, 2026. The temperature data is represented using a colour gradient, with red indicating higher temperatures (above 50°C) and blue indicating lower temperatures (around 20°C). A note explains that the Land Surface Temperature (LST) is the temperature of the soil and should not be confused with air temperature. The enlarged location at the bottom left corner marks two specific points: one with a temperature of approximately 47.4°C pointing to Brussels city and another with around 24.5°C pointing to Sonian Forest right next to it. The map is produced by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite, funded by the European Union.

Azores - temperatures remain mild year-round. Daytime temperatures normally fluctuate between 16 and 25°C (61 and 77°F) depending on season. It is also generally wet and cloudy. How's this the first time I'm hearing of this place? Sounds like the dream? #travel
