Un autre jour, un autre conducteur de la @STIBMIVB qui se prend pour Max Verstappen et accélère comme un fou juste pour freiner comme un troglodyte entre chaque arrêt. À QUAND LES FORMATIONS DE CONDUITE APAISÉE vous portez atteinte à la sécurité des passagers SYSTEMATIQUEMENT

Which Commissioner will control which Directorate-General in the next VDL presidency?

This very helpful table making the rounds on LinkedIn offers a clear picture. H/T @themartache

@vdupouey @JorgeLiboreiro @themartache Oh wow I did not expect this table from my linkedin post to travel this far!!

Hi #America, European here. If you're wondering who Viktor #Orban is whom #Trump says praised him internationally: he's an absolute pariah and so isolated in the EU that the other member states are ignoring meetings chaired by his council presidency #Debate2024

@STIBMIVB Pourquoi dites-vous que l'interruption est entre Schaerbeek et Louise alors qu'il n'y a pas de 92 vers Fort-Jaco depuis Louise non plus? Le panneau dit risque d'effondrement entre Stéphanie et Louise pour 97 mais pas d'infos pour 92. Pourtant un 97 vient d'arriver. MINABLE

@proximus 7. Going home puzzled and exhausted, we now see @proximus had reserved the parking space outside our building for a lift on 2nd April after all. But now our technician appointment has already been moved to the 22nd. Every single thing about this company is a complete & utter joke

[Max Frey 🇪🇺✊🌹 @binmalsofrey]

Typical #brussels experience with @proximus - a story 🧵
1. Moving internet contract to new apartment. The old apartment had fiber, the new one doesn't. Because it's not possible to downgrade a fiber contract to non-fiber, a technician has to come install it.

@proximus 6. Unfortunately home delivery is no longer possible because in order to see the list of pickup points, the guy had to select pickup option and can't go back. Will have to walk during working hours to faraway pickup point on the 3rd. Already wasting a day of leave on the 2nd.

.@Ixelles_Elsene vous trouvez ça sérieux? Il y a des boîtes aux lettres pour ça, pas besoin de barbouiller mon hall d'entrée comme ça. En plus grave risque de chute pour les personnes âgées dans mon bâtiment.

@googleeurope And if @googleeurope doesn't want to fix this themselves, then the blame is on @sabineverheyen for letting us all down because this kind of geoblocking is unacceptable and I should not be deprived of content in a global language just because I live in a different EU country.

@googleeurope can you give me 1 reason why the movie I just rented in Belgium is only available w French subtitles? Ur not even covering the official langs of the country, not to mention EN subtitles, why they missing? Think nobody in 🇧🇪 speaks EN or too poor to afford licences?

[Max Frey 🇪🇺✊🌹 @binmalsofrey]

And before you ask, @googleeurope , the movie is Oppenheimer, an award-winning movie of international fame and not some obscure film for which English subtitles don't exist. This is an infuriating consumer experience and a serious accessibility issue.

@POLITICOEurope what does @ThierryBreton think of this? Haven't we learned from #ScottMortonGate that the EU shouldn't bring in Americans to help them out? Where are our European popstar champions that can take a leading role with this?

[Max Frey 🇪🇺✊🌹 @binmalsofrey]

.@AdinaValean @KarimaDelli have there been any studies carried out on the impact of these new bright LED headlights on road safety? Why are these not banned yet? They blind drivers in both rear mirror + oncoming traffic and I would be v surprised if they weren't a safety hazard!

[Max Frey 🇪🇺✊🌹 @binmalsofrey]

Je viens d'avoir une idée pour @Infrabel_FR - serait-il possible de raccorder l'aéroport de Charleroi au réseau RER de Bruxelles via une nouvelle voie qui va de Fleurus à l'aéroport? Il y aurait sûrement des fonds européens pour soutenir ce projet

.@proximus on adore la fibre, depuis qu'on a un nouveau trou dans le mur ça roule super, bravo
