As bored and unmoved as I was whilst watching ‘Project Hail Mary’ yesterday, I was equally charmed and moved whilst watching Thierry Frémaux’s ‘Lumière, l'aventure continue’ (2025) today. #Lumière #cinema #cinematography #ProjectHailMary

The only few seconds I really enjoyed in Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s film ‘Project Hail Mary’ were during the reference to the iconic five-tone sequence from Steven Spielberg’s ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ (1977). I was the only one in the cinema who laughed at that bit. #ProjectHailMary

@Clutha With a little help from AI, I’m afraid.

Who would ever have thought that waving a flag of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the capital of Europe would come to be seen as an act of resistance against the fascism of the United States of America?

Francesca #Albanese, the #UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied #Palestinian territories, was awarded honorary doctorates by three universities in #Belgium. In an interview she says: “I’m not interested in #diplomacy. A special rapporteur is not a diplomat, but a defender of human #rights.”

VN-rapporteur voor de Palestijnen Francesca Albanese: "Ik ben geen diplomaat, maar verdedig de mensenrechten" | VRT NWS Nieuws

Ze wordt door Israël beschuldigd van antisemitisme en door Amerikaanse sancties belemmerd in haar leven en werk. Maar Francesca Albanese, speciaal VN-rapporteur voor de Palestijnse gebieden, vindt niet dat ze zich diplomatischer moet opstellen. "Ik stel me op hoe de VN me vraagt om me op te stellen: tegenover een onwettige bezetting die maar blijft duren", zegt ze in een interview met Terzake.

@0xabad1dea @GroupNebula563 I have been learning Spanish in Brussels (Belgium) for 10 years. The language of instruction has been Spanish from the very first lesson. And that pays off, because we never 'translate'. Another language of instruction would not have been possible, because the classes are very international.

@0xabad1dea @GroupNebula563 Now I had to look up what a “I know how to say biblioteca” mistake is. 😅
