Ook vandaag is een goede dag om van élke bebouwde kom een meer bruisende, leefbare, speelse, veilige, groene en bloeiende omgeving te maken voor kinderen, ouderen, bezoekers, werkenden, scholieren, winkeliers,… voor iedereen die er woont, werkt, ontspant. #BewoondeKom

This can’t be repeated enough. As a society, we are far too negligent when it comes to real, decisive measures that can reduce road casualties to zero. Shameful.

Don't think Americans on this and the other site fully understand how far Trump's capture of FIFA has the potential to fuel further anti-Americanism in Europe

Life in human cities. Bread & brioche, and vehicles to scale.

90% of French-speaking Belgians are upset that Mark Van Bommel is the new coach of Belgium 🇧🇪 because, wait for it, he doesn’t speak French. Were 90% of Flemish upset because the previous coach, Rudi Garcia, didn’t speak Dutch? Says everything about the monolingualism of French speakers.

Ik wil geen vogels of bekende mensen op de nieuwe Euro-biljetten, ik wil Buurman & Buurman, Het Molletje en Purno de Purno.

Last Christmas, I gave a speech in Hamburg about "the post-American internet" that the rest of the world has the chance to build now that Trump has zeroed-out all the value it used to get from playing by America's tech policy rules. 19/

Time keeping is my passion.

Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 2w ago

I’m new to soccer but I feel like the clock should count down as opposed to up. Just a bit of a feedback.

Some notable exceptions but my impression:

I see no reason why Argentina should win this specific match, unless they happen to score a goal more than Spain.

Everybody won that game. England. France. The fans. Everybody!

Magistrate Paolo Borsellino embodied the values on which Europe is built: courage, integrity & freedom. He knew the risks of confronting the Mafia, yet he never turned away from his duty. 34 years from his assassination, we honour his memory by choosing, everyday, to stand on the side of justice.

This is the weakness of AI. We, as editors, see hundreds of submissions per year. We see the patterns; the probabilistic repetitions; the common structure. The unoriginality becomes visible a mile off, but remains invisible to someone who is using the tool, simply because of the volume we see.

French cyclist Eugène Christophe was the first rider to wear the iconic "maillot jaune" -- the yellow jersey awarded to overall leaders in the Tour de France. The first yellow jersey was awarded to Christophe on July 19, 1919.

I've just remembered a friend telling me about staying at someone's house and the conversation getting onto sides of the bed, and the person revealing that she and her partner...*didn't have fixed sides they just kind of made it up every night* WHAT IS THIS LUNACY
