@lain Strong Eero Aarnio Bubble chair vibes here!

Antwerp Central Station is not only majestic, it also has a touch of humor with its hidden (in plain sight) parrot.

Definitely look for the parrot if you pass there!

@lain And she speaks French.

@goatsarah I always thought especially transcontinental shipping and heavy industry would be the hydrogen users?

Hello everyone, I'm Jan Adriaenssens… director public technology at the research center imec in Belgium.

Professionally I'm looking at the constructive role technology could play in society.

But my interests are a lot broader… and that's why I'm on social media. #introduction

@lain “Linear time just seems so restrictive, even wasteful - why should all that time, all those possibilities, be lost to us forever, just because the clock has ticked forward a few degrees? We may have grown accustomed to strict chronological oppression, but that doesn't mean we have to like it.”

@Gargron @taylorlorenz For many people the absence of typing Mastodon-threads in the web interface is identical to threads not being possible.

You have to manually reply to a previous post, you can't prepare a thread in the online interface.
