“Ongelofelijke hebzucht om tweedeverblijver leeg te melken.” ―Hardwerkende vastgoedmakelaar

De melkers worden gemelkt en zijn niet tevree. Owee. Vastgoed als investering zou verboden moeten zijn, het zorgt enkel maar voor parasitair gedrag.

“VATICAN CITY, June 23 (Reuters) - The Vatican on Tuesday reaffirmed a long-standing rule that only an ordained priest or ​deacon can give a sermon at a Catholic mass, ‌rejecting a request from German bishops to broaden the practice and allow sermons by women or other laypeople.”

“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck’s pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick’s sake.

The Belgian government signed on Thursday a Letter of Intent to acquire Electrabel’s (ENGIE) entire nuclear operations in the country. Such a move would reverse the phase-out of nuclear energy legislation adopted in the early 2000s amid safety concerns. Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever stated that the country is aiming to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and gain greater autonomy in managing its own energy supplies.

I’m ashamed that only now I discovered Hugo Raspoet, and saddened that he died in 2018. A most underrated Belgian forward-thinking artist, bashing the church and media before it was safe to do so, with stunning lyricism.

His song Evviva Il Papa caused such uproar that public media refused to play it and cops removed him from a stage when he disobeyed orders to not perform it.

It’s weird to miss someone you never knew existed a week ago.

“In 1969, his song “Evviva Il Papa” caused controversy because it attacked both the Pope as well as the Vatican. It was banned from radio and TV airplay and Raspoet was often forbidden to perform it on stage. When he ignored the ban and tried to perform it one time in Borgerhout the police forced him to leave the stage . Johan Anthierens, who had a radio show about chanson, protested the ban by not playing the record on the air, but reading its lyrics for the listeners. He was still fired nevertheless.” ―Wikipedia
