Beste professor, links-rechts is dood in Vlaanderen

In dit stuk beargumenteer ik waarom Open VLD nog wél wat te leren heeft van D66, anders dan wat Marc Swyngedouw, professor KUL stelt in @demorgen.be

Ik word onnozel van hoe Vlaamse media over de EU bericht geeft. Neen, chat control is niet 'geschrapt door de EU'. De EU is niet één institutie die dingen zomaar kan voorstellen en schrappen. En dat zal dus niet voor morgen zijn.

I love Europe so much.
Rosalía will release “Lux,” her fourth full-length album, next week. It features lyrics sung in 13 languages: Spanish, but also Catalan, English, Latin, Sicilian, Ukrainian, Arabic, German and more. She devoted more than two years to learning to write and sing convincingly in other tongues.
Rosalía’s Thrilling Pop Evolution on ‘Lux’: Singing in 13 Languages
The Spanish musician on why (and how) she pushed herself to make “Lux,” a labor of love exploring the feminine divine and the brutalities of romance.

Long time since I ranted about something political here but here it goes: the Flemish gov has decided to underinvest in Flemish education in Brussels. This withholds funds to VUB and EhB - excellent university institutions that have made an important effort in offering innovative educational paths.

Hannah Arendt lezen in deze tijden is echt als balsem voor de ziel. Wetende dat zij zich momenteel ook gewoon omdraait in haar graf.

I hope Greta Thunberg lives long enough to receive her nobel price for peace even though she isn’t doing all of this for flowers. We should all feel humbled by her and all humanitarians across the board. I dont think I have other words besides we should all rethink our place in this world.

Mijn 5-jarig nichtje heeft ook begrepen dat meer bouwen en niet een huurplafond de oplossing is. Nu lokale politici die hun kiesvee niet willen verliezen aan het ongemak van bouwprojecten nog en dan komt het goed jongens.

Mooi interview met Jacinda Arden in The Guardian. “I think the rehumanisation of people in public life is really important.” Ik schreef eerder deze week in mijn Substack over hoe belangrijk empathie is in de politiek. Het is healing om diezelfde gedachtegang van zo’n grote mevrouw te lezen.

This took a year to research - it is taking a year to form a government and now you can only imagine how long it will take to build the infrastructure around this. This town moves like a turtle through mud.
