'Seefhoek' is the Antwerp quarter where illustrator Willy Vandersteen grew up.

People say that in the 17th century there used to be an inn ('herberg') that sold 'Seef bier' on the corner of the Peshofstraat and Lange Beeldekensstraat.

The beer has been revived since 2012. Is it tasty, Anne?

Kun je voorstellen dat Dick Schoof, Geert Wilders, of Dilan Yesilgöz, het leger afstuurt op mensen die geheel volgens onze vrije rechten demonstreren?

Dat zij mensen arresteren omdat ze een andere mening uitdragen dan die van de regering?

Is de VS nog wel ons lichtend voorbeeld? Ik dacht het niet.
I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

BlueSky is no better than Twitter, or X.

The same old bunch of attention-seeking, blind haters.

Maybe it is the way homo sapiens likes to manifest itself: in opposition to the 'the other tribe'.

Maybe Kubrick wasn't so wrong.

@jonalendering.bsky.social Mijn collega (hartstochtelijk docent Latijn en Grieks) vindt Livius volstrekt ongenietbaar.

1. Enig idee wat zijn redenen kunnen zijn?

2. Enig idee wat tegenargumenten kunnen zijn?

There is this present BlueSky phenomenon about 'women looking good wet'.

Surely, re-read the above statement.

ín my humble opinion, ALL women look good being wet. It brings out their natural beauty. Easily.

There's just something about it. You know what? It's good.

@feelinglistless.bsky.social I like your comments on 'The Studio'.

The 'Woody Allen case' goes way beyond Woody Allen.

It's not just about him (he'll be fine anyway).

The case demonstrates how a *false, media-assisted* allegation can totally destroy someone's reputation.

That should be worrying.

One more total idiot who likes people to believe that Woody Allen 'fucked one of his kids'.

How did this world - and BlueSky - become somehow occupied by *perverse idiots* like @scriblit.bsky.social, who fantasize about celebrities 'fucking their kids'?

@chrisvognar.bsky.social "Textbook grooming" is actively seeking the company and attention of children for sexual or 'romantic' gratification.

Woody Allen did THE OPPOSITE.

He SHUNNED Mia's 'Previn children', never took them out, evaded their company.

Says who?

Says Mia.

Say all custody judges.

@jessetemme.bsky.social Dit beschrijft het doel van mijn bezigheid, Jesse. Het is tijdverdrijf, maar een - in mijn ogen - zinvol tijdverdrijf.

Op Twitter heb ik diverse geestverwanten. Samen zijn we al jaren een 'clubje' met hetzelfde doel.

Ook goed voor mijn Engels! 😀

I am a 60 yo teacher, and teacher educator, living in Amsterdam.

I have always been clear about my intention: to defend Woody Allen in the face of a false allegation.

Demonstrating how (social) media are abused to make even rational, good-willing people *believe vicious lies* by social pressure.

@fejj111.bsky.social

Fact 1: Woody Allen never had a stepdaughter.

Fact 2: The woman he married was never *any* kind of daughter to him.

Fact 3: He was never married to Mia, has never lived with Mia, and had no role in the "Previn children's" upbringing.

I like facts. I hope you like facts too.

I have to disappoint the writers of the last 35 messages or so. Because it's back to work!

Later.
