All that buzz about #Obama #POTUS44 and his #aliens ... the #president was merely expressing the well-known #Drake equation, formulated in 1961 by Frank Drake.

The fascist US dictatorship will use the selective release of the Epstein files to try to destabilise European states. We are already seeing this happen in the United Kingdom.

Alfred (10) zou later graag bibliothecaris worden. Om mensen gelukkig naar huis te zien gaan met boeken of mensen te zien lezen. Hij vindt het altijd fijn om blije mensen te zien en zou het niet voor het geld doen, maar voor het plezier.

Indeed. Even when I can't give someone money or a cup of coffee, I still try to wish them a good day and apologise for not being able to give them anything. We must continue to see people in difficulty as fellow human beings.
It also causes me a great deal of sadness and moral qualms. I can pay for someone's coffee and sandwich once or twice a day, but not all day long. And so every time I say “no”, I have to turn my heart to stone.
I feel the same way when politicians seem to take pride in reaching an agreement in the middle of the night after days of negotiations. I think to myself: if they can't do it during the day, then they're simply not competent politicians.
Happy 94th Birthday, John Williams (New York, 8 February 1932).

Acteur François #Beukelaers overleden. Hij werd 88 jaar oud. Beukelaers acteerde voor #theater, #televisie en #film, doceerde aan Studio Herman #Teirlinck in Antwerpen en aan de Franstalige Brusselse toneelschool #INSAS. Hij was perfect tweetalig en regisseerde ook.

“Toch registreerde 21 procent zich nog niet op dat platform. Het gaat om 940.604 van de in totaal 1.191.956 ondernemingen die verplicht zijn om Peppol te gebruiken.”
Klopt niet. 940.604 is 79% van 1.191.956. Dus het aantal ondernemingen dat wel in orde is met Peppol. 21% van 1.191.956 is 250.311.
Nee, toch niet. Mogelijk stond het borstbeeld oorspronkelijk op dezelfde plaats. Maar het is dan wellicht later naar een zichtbaarder gedeelte van het park verplaatst. De resten van de fontein bevinden zich in het lager gelegen en donkerder gedeelte van het Warandepark.
Heb je ook het fontein gezien waar Peter de Grote onwel werd na een overvloed aan rode wijn? C.q. waar bij moest overgeven. Bij het fontein is in het Latijn een tekst aangebracht die naar deze gebeurtenis verwijst.

The fatal #shootings by federal agents in the #US show clear signs of democratic #decline and #politicisation of the #police. That is according to Christophe Busch, historian and director of the Belgian Hannah Arendt Institute. He draws comparisons with the past and the underlying mechanisms.
What we need is a genuine EU identity card without 🖕 fingerprints! I still have my Belgian identity card without fingerprints. I had it made in 2019, a month before the new legislation came into force. It is valid until January 2029. Then we will see what I will do.
A colorful cartoon illustration shows a man with blonde hair, wearing a dark suit, red tie, and a golden crown with red and blue jewels, sitting confidently with his arms crossed. He is sitting on top of a large pyramid made of many green peas, which are piled high on a white plate. The background is bright with a blue sky, white clouds, and a shining yellow sun with rays spreading out behind him, giving the impression of a glowing halo. Some peas are scattered around the plate on a wooden surface.
Board of Peas. #BoardOfPeace
Surely no one in their right mind is taking this seriously. Vanity, or arrogant self-love, is considered the worst of the seven deadly sins and also the first: all other sins stem from vanity, leading to spiritual death or damnation, with punishments like being broken on the wheel.
A tall, strong-looking man stands in a snowy, icy landscape. Snowflakes fall all around him. He has short light-grey hair tied in a small bun and a short grey beard. His eyes are bright blue and he looks serious and calm. He wears a tight superhero-style suit in blue, red, and white, with a pattern like the Iceland flag. The suit has shiny buttons and metal details on the shoulders and chest. Around his waist is a wide belt with a large red jewel in the center. He is holding a baby penguin carefully in both arms. The penguin is grey and white with a black head and a small yellow patch near its ear. In the background there are tall snowy mountains and a dome-shaped building partly covered in snow. The image looks like a fantasy or science-fiction poster.
Something like this?

Ik las eens dat men fragmenten van duizenden versnipperde documenten virtueel weer aan elkaar kon zetten door ze te scannen en er AI op los te laten. Misschien kan zoiets ook met de glasscherven?
A funny, edited image set in a cold, icy place. In the foreground, a man is walking to the right in side view. He is wearing a black jacket and a large white “penguin” belly, making him look like he is dressed as a penguin. His legs look bright orange, like penguin feet. Behind and beside him, a large group of real penguins is walking across a rocky beach with dark stones. The penguins have white bellies, black heads, and pink feet. In the background, there is calm water with small pieces of ice floating on it. Farther away, tall mountains with snow on top rise under a gray sky. The scene looks like a humorous penguin parade.
Now, if you know your #penguins, you also know that the images of the #American #president leading a herd of penguins in #Greenland, which we have been seeing on the web in recent days, are fake. Penguins only live in #Antarctica and the countries closest to Antarctica.
Bright blue poster titled “KNOW YOUR PENGUINS” at the top in large black letters. Below are cute cartoon drawings of 15 penguin species, each with its name and a colored conservation label. Top row: Adelie (Near Threatened), African (Endangered), Chinstrap (Least Concerned), Emperor (Near Threatened), Erect-crested (Endangered), Fiordland (Vulnerable). Middle row: Galapagos (Endangered), Gentoo (Near Threatened), Humboldt (Vulnerable), King (Least Concerned), Little/Blue/Fairy (Least Concerned), Macaroni (Vulnerable). Bottom row: Magellanic (Near Threatened), Northern Rockhopper (Endangered), Southern Rockhopper (Vulnerable), Royal (Near Threatened), Snares (Vulnerable), Yellow-eyed (Endangered). The penguins vary in size and markings, with some having yellow head feathers. At the bottom it says “HAPPY PENGUIN AWARENESS DAY – JANUARY 20TH.” A small narwhal drawing appears in the lower right corner.
Don't forget: today is Penguin Awareness Day. Make sure you know your penguins!
