In Brussels I hear an average of 5 different languages every day bc it’s such an international city and the country itself has 3 national languages plus English is widely used. It’s a ridiculous concern that has no bearing on reality unless someone is extremely xenophobic and racist…

??????????? Nonsense

The four more or less mainstream parties have a majority in parliament based on this poll and could form a centrist coalition - but there's also the possibility of a majority on the right, one that excludes Wilders but extends from the centrists to a smaller far right party.

🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election.

The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls.

Huge if true.

Exit polls in the Netherlands show a surge in support for the centrist D66 party and sharp decline for the PVV of Geert Wilders. It looks like Dutch voters have turned back the right-wing populist tide

Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune

"It remains unclear how far the donation would go toward covering the salaries of the more than 1.3 million troops who make up the active-duty military.....A $130 million donation would equal about $100 a service member."

Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune

In spite of the headline, there is the pesky legal matter that neither billionaires or anybody else can “give” money to “pay troops” or anything else. However, a great compromise would be for billionaires to pay more money into the general treasury through “taxes.”

Yeah even the HSD can haul a lot - I once hauled a big bag of soil plus other garden supplies on that thing

I’ve been using a tern HSD (midtail, I only have one kid) for 3 years and love it! You can put tons of groceries on that thing too.

Hackiest hack of all time 🙄

Blame it on woke

Running for office and revealing a giant back tattoo that just says WOMEN. Nobody can agree if it's good or bad

My take on simplification of EU law: the EU Commission should table an omnibuses omnibus, to simplify all the pending omnibuses.

I will be so happy to fly back to Europe in 10 days omg 🫠

By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know. 32m

This is actually a perfect meme.

Send this to anyone, at any time, for any reason!

We have had trainings on this at my workplace and we don’t do anything nearly as controversial lmao

I voted! And got a sticker for the first time in years!

Yes that would be fun!!

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

Why more parents are riding cargo bikes, skipping the minivan Many parents are now are forgoing minivans for greener alternatives: cargo bikes. They have been around for decades, but the advent of the electric bike motor has made them much more popular.

So much in the U.S. is designed to be single use and disposable 😭😭😭

It’s no tyrants in Belgium

Room temp but it could be quite a warm room sometimes

Also what is up w the Brits

Just landed in Philly and noticed how sunny and clear it is, my (raised in Belgium) son is in shock

Watching Hocus Pocus on my flight!!! On vacation for real 🎃

Three sad facts that shouldn’t be like this:

• Transport is one of the EU’s biggest sources of CO2
• Aviation emissions are still rising fastest
• Young people often fly instead of taking the train because it’s cheaper and easier

Yet travelling by train is five times cleaner than flying

I’m not on TikTok so I don’t see what ppl are posting, but it seems clear to me that The Fate of Ophelia is about the fans/Eras tour

My son is shocked to see how many people are on the trains this time of day. And also why it’s still dark… lol

I’ve been focusing a lot on weightlifting and noticed how much easier it is dealing with heavy suitcases on the cobblestones and steps 🤩
