Wonderful commute. Taking the train from Antwerp Central Station to Leuven, drinking a cup of filter coffee roasted in Leuven and brewed in Antwerp. Cycling to and from those stations, and in between crossing historical Brabant. Good morning everyone!

Morning light on the historical Antwerp central station.

Photo from the seat of a train, with a paper coffee cup in the foreground and outside a misty field with morning sun in the background.

Toch even een interventie betreffende nauwkeurigheid. 250 milliliter is 250 x 10⁹ picoliter, omdat je maar drie beduidende cijfers hebt. #sorrynotsorry

Ik wil niemand, en al zeker niet @fakeplasticruby.bsky.social, met bijkomende fascinaties opzadelen, maar ik wil toch even de aandacht vestigen op 'anatidaephobia'. (Net zoals de 'thagomizer' een concept dat werd uitgevonden door Gary Larson, en ondertussen breed is geadopteerd.)

Such shopping does not have to be luxurious or unduly expensive — it can just be a local cheese shop or independent stationary store — but it's about considering the total experience. Video: Ganterie Boon in Antwerpen, Belgium (IG ganterie_boon)

Today in great scientific figures: the flight path of two midges, immediately preceding ❤️romance❤️

Hand-drawn figure almost certainly derived from painstaking examination of filmed midge flight. It took them 4 years to publish this. It is indistinguishable from an elaborate squiggle.

Als we voor de lieve vrede als compromis de voetnoot "Alcohol schaadt de gezondheid" moeten afvoeren, dan kunnen we steeds opteren voor een alternatief zoals "Alcohol is een hard drug".

Zonet in Gent Sint-Pieters. Een zware, wankele platformlift wordt aangereden, om een persoon in een rolstoel uit de trein te helpen. Alle begrip en respect voor de betrokken medewerkers, maar ik voel plaatsvervangende schaamte voor hun werkgever. (Nood aan het Curb Cut Effect.) #CurbCutEffect

For #RomanSiteSaturday let's go to a huge pile of #trash - Monte Testaccio in #Rome. A huge artificial hill located next to the Tiber River. It was made up of millions of broken amphorae (mostly oil amphorae from southern Spain) during the first three centuries AD www.elnacional.cat/es/cultura/r...

A vast accumulation of broken amphorae pieces, stacked in a cascading formation. The scene has an earthy color palette, with shades of brown, beige, and gray. Light filters in from above, illuminating the top of the pile, while the lower sections remain in shadow.

Ik snap echt niet wat er mis (of zelfs maar stigmatiserend) is aan de feitelijk correcte quote "Alcohol schaadt de gezondheid". Dat men dit framet als een "volledige sector aan de schandpaal nagelen" komt bij mij enorm contraproductief over. En ja, ik ben ook iemand die graag eens alcohol drinkt.

One of my all time favourite maps shows the World Known to Europe at the Restoration of the Stuarts (1660). The black clouds must’ve magically attracted explorers. The source features many more such maps from different times in history: buff.ly/2GDjcP5
