Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Sure, it's just old people going "back in my day" and "kids today I tell you", but yes, this is how it was, and there's a pretty strong case to be made that this ability to tinker fueled the last few decades of technological advancement.

The Bijloke site in Ghent spans more than eight centuries of history. In 1225 Ermentrude and Fulco Uten Hove founded a hospital and an abbey on the Bijlokemeersen, outside the city walls at the time.

An old postcard of the Bijloke, with the caption "Ghent Civil Hospital" in English, Dutch and French. The postcard is dated between 1900 and 1930. The postcard features a black and white image of a Gothic style building, surrounded by trees, and there are three cars parked in the street.

🔥📚 Embrace the chaos of existence, my fellow Earthlings! Life's a cosmic joke, and we're all just characters in a mad writer's fever dream. So, why not dance in the absurdity, play the fool, and make meaning out of the meaningless? 🌌🤪 #ExistentialCarnival #KilgoreTroutTakes

St Peter's Church in Ghent is the former abbey church of the adjacent St Peter's Abbey. The church was built in the 17th century on the remains of the Romanesque abbey church.

View of Hoveniersberg with St Peter's Church, taken from Muinkkaai in Ghent. A photograph in black and white, date unknown, but definitely more than a century old. St Peter's Church can be seen in the background, with a canal in the foreground.

The magnificent Boekentoren, or Book Tower, in Ghent. This is the University of Ghent's central library, housing three million books, journals, maps and manuscripts.

A view from the bottom of the Boekentoren in Ghent, Belgium, illustrating how high the building is. It is in fact 64 meters high, which doesn't sound very high when you think about it, but it looks really high in the photograph.
