[Armand Vervaeck + TESLA nieuws ☮️ 🕊️ @ArmandVervaeck]

Ik rij nu al sedert 10 dagen met @Tesla FSD met mijn Tesla Model X die uitgerust is met AI4. Nu zo een 700 km. Minstens 99,7 % van de tijd automatisch .

Emotioneel zit ik TERUG in de adembenemende VERWONDERING van toen ik in 2019 mijn eerste Tesla Model3 in ontvangst nam.

Heb ondertussen met FSD al 1001 scenario’s uitgeprobeerd en mijn VERWONDERING wordt nog elke dag groter.

FSD is de toekomst van het autorijden. Relax, superveilig en er bestaat geen betere chauffeur. Gedaan met de dodelijke ongelukken.
Nogmaals mijn gemeende dank aan Vlaams Minister @AnnickDeRidder om als één van de eersten in Europa de toekomst omarmd te hebben.

🚨 UNPRECEDENTED.

The latest ECMWF forecast is projecting a possible +3.9°C El Niño by December.

If it happens, it wouldn't just break the previous record...

It would obliterate it.

A climate event of this magnitude could reshape weather patterns across the globe:

🔥 Dangerous heatwaves
🌊 Record-warm oceans
🌧️ More floods in some regions, severe drought in others
🌾 Greater pressure on crops and food supplies
⚡ A higher risk of costly weather disasters

We're looking at a scenario that climate records have never seen before.

The next few months will be critical.

We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.

We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.

We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.

Pues sí, hasta Zverev tiene perro en #RolandGarros 🐶

El alemán celebró con él en la Chatrier su prime Grand Slam 🏆

[Eurosport IT @Eurosport_IT]

🔍 C'è un dettaglio che non tutti hanno notato guardando Zverev giocare.

Nei cambi di campo, mentre gli altri bevono o si asciugano il sudore, Sascha si fa un'iniezione di insulina. Lo ha fatto anche durante la finale del Roland Garros 2026, sotto i riflettori del tennis mondiale.

🏥 Alexander Zverev convive con il diabete di tipo 1 da quando aveva quattro anni. Una vita intera, tra allenamenti, viaggi e campo, passata a gestire i livelli di glucosio nel corpo.

Eppure per molto tempo non ne ha parlato. Non per vergogna, ma per una scelta precisa: non voleva che fosse il diabete a definirlo. Non voleva pietà. Lo ha fatto pubblicamente solo nel 2022.

👨‍⚕️ I medici avevano consigliato a sua madre di fargli cambiare sport: giocare a tennis con il diabete, dissero, sarebbe stato troppo difficile.

Zverev quando è in campo gioca nello stesso momento due partite diverse: quella contro il suo avversario e tenere costantemente monitorato il livello della sua glicemia.

🥵 In partita la glicemia può diventare una roulette: un attimo sei in calo fino al rischio di collasso ipoglicemico, quello dopo lo stress e l’intensità ti spingono in iperglicemia con sete, crampi e confusione, tra performance che crolla e pericoli acuti se non gestita.

Oltre al traguardo sportivo, che per Sascha è stato così atteso, inseguito e a tratti maledetto, questo titolo Slam vale molto più.

💭 È il megafono più potente che potesse trovare per il messaggio che porta avanti attraverso la sua Fondazione: ai bambini con diabete di tipo 1 dice che possono sognare in grande, senza privarsi dello sport e di ambire anche a salire sul tetto del mondo del tennis.

Das ist kein Luxusresort. Sazan – die albanische Insel an der Straße von Otranto – ist das maritime Tor zwischen Adria und Mittelmeer.
3.600 atomsichere Bunker. 15 Kilometer Tunnel. Ehemalige sowjetische U-Boot-Anlegestellen.
Die Insel kontrolliert wer die Adria kontrolliert. Und wer kauft sie?
Kushners Affinity Partners – finanziert zu 99 Prozent von Saudi-Arabien, UAE und Katar.
157 Millionen Dollar Gebühren von ausländischen Staatsfonds.
Das bestätigt der US-Finanzausschuss unter Senator Wyden.

Und wer leitet das Team? Kein einziger Hotelmanager. Ausschließlich Ex-Geheimdienstler und Ex-Regierungsbeamte der Trump-Administration. General Miguel Correa – ehemaliger Direktor für Golfangelegenheiten im Nationalen Sicherheitsrat. Mitarchitekt der Abraham-Accords.
Kevin Hassett – ehemaliger Vorsitzender des Wirtschaftsberaterstabs im Weißen Haus.
Chad Mizelle – ehemaliger amtierender Chefsyndikus des Heimatschutzministeriums. John Rader – ehemaliger Nationaler Sicherheitsrat. Nick Butterfield – ehemaliger stellvertretender Koordinator für Politik im Weißen Haus.
Senator Wyden: Die Anwesenheit von General Correa „wirft Bedenken hinsichtlich der Emoluments-Klausel der Verfassung auf."
Das ist kein Resort. Das ist eine geopolitische Operation – finanziert von Golfstaaten – auf einer ehemaligen sowjetischen Militärbasis – im Herzen Europas. 🇦🇱🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺

Das darf nicht wahr sein. In Europa, wo alles und jeder unter Schutz steht:
Jared Kushner und Ivanka Trump wollen Albaniens geschützte Südküste in ein 1,4 Milliarden Euro Luxusresort verwandeln – Insel Sazan und Küstengebiet bei Zvernec.
Die EU-Kommission „beobachtet die Lage genau." Und tut NICHTS!!!

DER SKANDAL:
Das Land gehört der albanischen Familie Konomi die es seit Generationen bewirtschaftet. Wer sich wehrt wird verprügelt und eingesperrt.
Albaniens Regierung ignoriert den Eigentumsanspruch. 41 Umweltorganisationen aus 28 Ländern haben protestiert. Das Gebiet ist EU-Schutzzone – Heimat des Mittelmeer-Mönchs-Seehunds, 70 bedrohter Arten, 200 Vogelarten.

Albanien will EU-Mitglied werden. Und baut für Kushner auf geschütztem Land.
🇦🇱🇪🇺🇺🇸Bewaffnete Männer im Auftrag von Oligarchen verprügeln Unterstützer der rechtmäßige Grundbesitzer – die ihre geschützte Küste gegen Trumps und Kushners Luxusresort-Landnahme verteidigen.

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper.

Her name is Audrey van der Meer.

She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth.

The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time.

Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once.

The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected.

When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely.

Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG.

Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events.

The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem.

Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next.

Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve.

Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews.

Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad.

Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page.

A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched.

The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down.

The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page.

That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it.

Two studies. Two countries. Same answer.

Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.

Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth.

You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick.

The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew.

Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

Une chose qui m'a frappé en bossant des deux côtés de l'Atlantique.

En France, l'arrogance d'un entrepreneur est inversement proportionnelle à sa réussite réelle.

Le mec qui fait 20M d'ARR te parle comme s'il avait fondé Apple. Costume bien coupé, name-dropping de fonds, regard qui te jauge dès la poignée de main. Il maîtrise ses classes en-dessous comme un sport de combat.

Dans la Silicon Valley, c'est l'inverse exact.

Tu te retrouves à dîner avec un type qui a vendu sa boîte 1 milliard. Plus aucun problème d'argent jusqu'à la fin de ses jours. Et il te parle comme s'il débutait. Te demande ce que tu construis, prend des notes, te recommande trois personnes à appeler dans la semaine.

Les meilleurs profils tech là-bas fondateurs sortis à plusieurs centaines de millions, ingénieurs principaux qui ont façonné des produits utilisés par des milliards de gens gardent une simplicité qui désarme.

La différence n'est pas anecdotique. Elle est culturelle, et elle est structurante.

En France, le statut se défend. En Californie, le statut se prouve par le prochain projet.

Et à la fin, on s'étonne que les uns construisent des empires pendant que les autres optimisent leur table chez Caviar Kaspia.
