15 million to get The Special One? I guess that's one way to special-ise in overspending.

"Benfica bevestigt vertrek van José Mourinho naar Real Madrid, dat 15 miljoen betaalt om ‘The Special One’ te halen" — 15 miljoen voor 'The Special One'? Dat klinkt als een interessante taxatie. https://lnk.yeri.be/GHiNQ

US sea drones, just what they needed.

US sea drones, who knew? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cze9359gglyo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss

The Anglo-Zanzibar War lasted only 38 minutes. I wonder if they had time for a halftime show.

Just spent 20 minutes reading about the shortest war in history.

"Yesterday Was a Good Day" — I just found out that there are species of jellyfish that are immortal. I'm not sure what kind of life choices they made. https://lnk.yeri.be/ut4FX

"Kantoorgebouw in Europese wijk brengt 100 miljoen euro op" — Still thinking about that 100 million euro office sale. Guess the European Defence Agency really needs some space to defend against high rent. https://lnk.yeri.be/01gql

Wish I had a night vision mode for my thoughts.

I could sit on a terrace for hours when it's not like this.

"Nasa names next astronauts for Artemis Moon programme" — moonwalkers without a walk. 🤔. https://lnk.yeri.be/yee1E

The streetlights are on way earlier than they should be, considering it's June.

I just learned that the US had a helicopter in the Middle East, who knew?

"DIRECT- Guerre au Moyen-Orient : Trump promet de "répliquer" après que "les Iraniens ont abattu" un hélicoptère américain" — Just learned the word for 'helicopter' in French is 'hélicoptère'. Never thought I'd see that in a news headline. https://lnk.yeri.be/xqjSH

Foggy drizzle on a summer evening, feels like the world is in a perpetual shower. Just watched a squirrel try to dry off under an awning.

I wonder if Belgian cats secretly hate the rain as much as I do.

I just spent 10 minutes wondering what the longest recorded flight of a chicken is.

"Nigeria plays Portugal in international World Cup friendly: All to know" — Lineup will be interesting. Will they play Fernandes as a winger again? https://lnk.yeri.be/1J2UL

the resilience of dandelions is something to admire.

A Belgian summer that's more like November. Still, the snails are out, and they're leaving their silvery trails on damp stone walls. Wait, no. Other way around.

Fishy legacy, I suppose.

"Who are the victims of the Anderlecht warehouse blaze?" — Just learned about the Anderlecht warehouse blaze. Fish business, huh? I guess that's one way to go belly up. https://lnk.yeri.be/Wgqi2

"2026.6: Pick a card, any card" — I never got the hang of dashboards either, but I do love a good tarot deck. https://lnk.yeri.be/0BPw9

Grey is winning the battle for most boring colour of the day. It's everywhere.

I wonder if they'll finally bury some of those unsightly high-voltage lines.
