Only an hour after we learn that Russians tried to stage a fake assassination attempt for Victor Orban to help him in the coming election, Trump releases a video promoting him.

The Gilles of Binche, recognized by UNESCO, date back to medieval pre-Lenten traditions. Their dress is linked to festivities in 1549, when Mary of Hungary hosted celebrations in Binche for Philip II of Spain. On Mardi Gras, they throw oranges as symbols of luck and generosity.

@IveMarx Yep. En de telefoontjes kwamen wellicht eerder van Yves Verschueren (essencia) dan van Putin ;)

Brussel’s 800 year old St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral today. Around 1226, construction began - following the orders of the Duke of Brabant - on the Gothic church that would become today’s cathedral.

De Belgica is terug op zee! Een sterk signaal van onze Belgische ambitie op het vlak van wetenschappelijk onderzoek, innovatie en maritieme expertise. Dit oceanografische onderzoeksschip voert fier de Belgische vlag als marinehulpschip.

@robbertleusink Well, jenever likely emerged gradually in the Southern Low Countries (currently Belgium) as a medicinal-distillation product before becoming a recreational drink. The attribution to attributed to Franciscus Sylvius is a myth. The Bols family has roots in Antwerp.

The Dutch invented jenever in the 16th century English soldiers discovered it fighting alongside the Dutch in the Eighty Years' War. They called it Dutch Courage Then they tried to make it at home But tThey couldn't replicate the malt wine base... So they used cheap grain spirit instead, masked the taste with botanicals, and called it 'gin' The British called it theirs

@PedderSophie I thought of ‘Muselier’. Émile Muselier (1882–1965) was the first senior officer to rally to Charles de Gaulle in 1940 after France’s defeat and became commander of the Free French Naval Forces (FNFL). ‘France Libre’ is even better.

While the world’s attention has been on Iran and the Gulf, Ukraine has been quietly cutting away at Russia’s control over eastern Ukraine. In the last three weeks Ukraine has won back an area of more than 300 square miles.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

My generation had its criticisms of US journalism, but we always thought it was the freest in the world. Now? “FCC chair threatens to throttle news broadcasts over ‘hoaxes’ about Iran war Brendan Carr posts that he may cancel spectrum permits of ‘mainstream news’ outlets for ‘misleading’ coverage”. Appalling.

@IveMarx Ook interessant: In “The Moynihan Report and the Politics of Controversy” analyseerde Rainwater (met Yancey) hoe een beleidsgerichte sociaalwetenschappelijke analyse werd aangevallen, verdedigd en uiteindelijk getransformeerd zodra het in de publieke controverse terechtkwam.

Ben ik nu de enige die de veelgeciteerde boeken Habermas onleesbaar vond of zijn minst heel moeilijk kauwbaar? Zijn essays waren leesbaarder maar er stonden ook wel wat gemeenplaatsen in zonder veel feitelijke grond of empirische onderbouwing. Maar een instituut, dat zeker.

@IveMarx Het waren vooral sociaal-filosofen. Hun klemtoon lag op kritisch analyseren. Ze hadden wel oog voor empirisch onderzoek, maar dat was duidelijk niet hun sterkte. Heel verschillend van de Amerikaanse sociologie in die tijd (Lazarsfeld enz.)

@KoenVX Wat de Frankfurter Schule deed is een vorm van "wetenschapsbeoefening" die zijn tijd heeft gehad en meer dan terecht. Heel zwak op empirie, heel sterk op moeilijke woorden en vergezochte ideeën die voor diepgaande maatschappijanalyse moesten doorgaan.
