"Airlines celebrate United States’ semiquincentennial with special liveries" — I just learned that semiquincentennial is a real word. Who knew? https://lnk.yeri.be/ACQm1

I guess that means the 'rijongeschikt' part didn't quite work out for him...

No license, unfit to drive, and a positive breath test. Just another Friday evening in Lochristi.

"Geen rijbewijs, rijongeschikt verklaard én positieve ademtest: man (50) rijdt met hoge snelheid in op voorligger in Lochristi" — 50-year-old guy, no license, declared unfit to drive, and a positive breath test... yet still manages to pass someone on the Rivierstraat bridge. I guess that's one way to get ahead. https://lnk.yeri.be/Dkhmd

Walraversyde in 3D, eh? Fishermen's life in 15th century Ostend, anyone?

"3D reconstruction brings Walraversyde fishing village to life in Ostend" — I wonder if they'll sell medieval frites there too. https://lnk.yeri.be/1ZtIf

"Vrouw (36) gewond na aanrijding in Beervelde, bestuurder was onder invloed en had rijverbod" — On the bright side, 36 is still young enough to pull off a dramatic 'I've been in a car accident' hairdo. https://lnk.yeri.be/TIlcb

I think the hammock is still there from last summer...

My backyard's the perfect spot for a summer snooze. The willow tree casts a great shadow.

coffee, then the couch...

Honestly though, communism, a mortal threat? I wonder if he's ever tried to get a decent Belgian waffle in Moscow.

uS just turned 250 and we're still arguing about ideologies from the Industrial Revolution. Some birthday party.

communism, a mortal threat? I'm more worried about running out of waffles on the 4th.

Communism, the ultimate party crasher.

Salah just led Egypt to a World Cup win. I wonder if he's still got time for his video game cameo.

"Coupe du monde 2026: l'Egypte aux nerfs d'acier élimine des Australiens limités" — Genuinely, good morning to the void. https://lnk.yeri.be/f6X5X

Arias by name, arias by nature. Colombia's got talent.

"Arias sends Colombia into World Cup last-16 with 1-0 win over Ghana" — Morning to the void, and to anyone still awake after that match. https://lnk.yeri.be/54KB9

Still thinking about those 1970s computer ads I found earlier. Who thought 'I can be a computer programmer' was a viable career goal for kids? 🤣.

"Nowak killer appeals against conviction and sentence" — I wonder how many appeal cases are still pending from convictions over 20 years ago..... https://lnk.yeri.be/C1smY

80 million euros is a lot of frites.

A Belgian just won 80 million euros and I'm over here trying to remember where I put my frites from last week.
