If only the police unions would push through harder and at least charge those among his friends that actually committed the act. When it was still just unknown youngsters, the punishment couldn't be severe enough for him, but now all of a sudden its his show, no mention of the actual culprits. Justice in this country has been broken as far back as I can remember, but they're really cranking it up a notch since this fool is in power.

Surprise surprise. And of course, the usual casual dismissal of corruption:

"We take note of the audit," responded the cabinet of Minister of Mobility Georges Gilkinet (Ecolo). "We will read the additional report of the Court of Audit with great attention. Since 2018, many improvements have already been made in terms of procurement policy at Ypto."

Out of Mind by J. Bernlef really stuck with me. A story about a man suffering from Alzheimer's, his life seamlessly flowing over into memories. At times he suddenly awakens from them, realizes his current state, and a terrible emptiness engulfs him.

Wow, featuring Sole! I skipped over the first paragraph, had to reread it as soon as my subconscious recognized the name Tim Holland. Great to hear of his actions through a seperate channel from his music. Really shows how committed he is. There is no end to my respect for him.

Cell sentences of up to three years were rarely if ever effectively carried out for years due to lack of space in prisons. They were replaced by electronic surveillance, and under six months were often not carried out at all. However, this impunity is partly responsible for the high recidivism rate and thus also for overcrowding in prisons, according to Van Quickenborne.

That's some backwards reasoning right there. I'll chalk it up to a pita and beer hangover from his male-only birthday party.

Especially opposition parties Groen, PVDA and Vooruit denounced the shocking lack of transparency and the preferential treatment of Ineos. They asked in different variations the question of how the Flemish Parliament can exercise its supervisory function when spending a guarantee of half a billion euros without being able to see the documents about it.

Exactly.

Het scheelt niet eens veel met Zwijndrecht, waar een fabriek PFAS fabriceerde.’

Can we no longer say 3M? Once they pay a pittance to our leaders, naming them is out of the question?

I'm anxiously awaiting the English translation of Haruki Murakami's latest, The City and Its Uncertain Walls.
