An alien visitor is whizzing through our solar system at VERY high speed! Called 3I/ATLAS, I have everything we know about this odd object so far.

Astronomers may have just discovered the third interstellar object passing through the Solar System!
ESA’s Planetary Defenders are observing the object, provisionally known as #A11pl3Z, right now using telescopes around the world.

The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money
Trump: "I spoke to a lot of leaders -- European, Asian, from all over the world. They are dying to make a deal, but I said 'we're not gonna have deficits with your country' ... to me a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or at worst we're gonna be breaking even."

I tried to simplify it to my kid like this: you buy something at the store for $50. Then Trump says that store stole $50 from you so he's going to tax the store $25. Store now charges $75.

Het is zo belangrijk dat je openlijk met je vrienden over investeringen, lonen, belastingen en het sparen van geld praat - zonder dat je daarbij als een cryptobro in Dubai moet overkomen.
Belgische jongeren voelen een grote nood aan betere financiële inzichten. Het ontbreekt hen vooral aan praktische kennis om zich in het dagelijkse leven uit de slag te trekken. Dat blijkt uit een bevraging van Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen bij het 5de en 6de middelbaar. De frappantste vaststellingen 👇

I had a fantastic time at Showpad’s AI Innovation Hackathon! It kicked off with an AI advancements overview, followed by coding sessions, lightning talks, and fun gaming activities like racing a beam robot through the office, Mario Kart, and FIFA. We wrapped up with impressive demos.
