On January 1st of every year, new heritage works enter the public domain. Unfortunately, these works can still end up being inaccessible.

The heroes behind Creative Commons, KBR Belgium, Wikimedia Belgium and Meemoo organize the annual Public Domain Day on the 9th of January to discuss inspiring developments and use cases from Belgium and will take a look at the public domain through a European lens.

thoughts on Amsterdam civil disorder:

- Maccabi Tel Aviv (and all Israeli teams) should not have been allowed to compete in UEFA competitions
- Demos supporting Palestine were already out of sight of soccer match, Maccabi supporters went into the city centre and saw pro Palestine symbols.
- Timeline shows provocation from Maccabi supporters (chants, flag destruction, attacks) prior to retaliation by Amsterdam residents

Night Train Map in Europe (2024), https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/. This is an interactive map: each line is clickable and brings information about all the stops, schedules, frequency and the company operating this line. That’s pure beauty.

Combined with InterRail, it’s so much travel freedom and opportunities in Europe!

How do we measure this?

“A full AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster. We really want to prevent this from happening.”

Meanwhile, opinion makers, press, and politicians continue to paint #ClimateChange as just another topic that has “faded into the background” in e.g. the latest elections in #Belgium. Fools.
