Well friends, apropos of nothing, may I suggest you listen to a song called "Lieber Staat" by Farin Urlaub and/or look up the translation to English. Chilling lyrics living rent free in my head for 20 years.
There is a lot to unpack, especially if you're teaching humanities/history/german.

And another email, even after unsubscribing!! Wtf!
Me: perhaps I’ll sign up for a trial of Fubo since YTTV has taken my money and refused to deliver a service that I’ve already paid for…
Fubo: sends me 11 emails in 2.5 hours b/c I stopped midway through the sign up. Didn’t want to get stuck paying $30 for 2 days of service.
Me: Fuck these guys.

Brussels Central Station is literally a 10 minute train ride from the airport.
From there you’d probably need to walk depending on where you are going (or uber or taxi) but it’s not hard to get to the city from the airport.

I think there is some sort of bus system, it just did not work for my schedule unfortunately

Well Michigan Football Friends, today I will be out riding my bike instead of watching the game. Unfortunately this means that I will not be issuing my usual hot takes which, if I’m honest, are as predictable as Wink running a 5-2 defense against any 12 personnel look. #GoBlue #69KtoClimax

German railway @deutsche-bahn.bsky.social has done a lot to destroy cliches of Germans‘ punctuality.
Now they‘re adding similarly successful attacks on the idea of Germans being without humour by making fun of their failures 👇🏻

Have the Lions tried begging for calls?
Maybe if he just asked really nicely the refs would call offensive holding when Hutch is getting mugged.
