Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 18/07/2026You'd lose. He's off and Zidane starts on Sept. 1st, they're just waiting to make it official. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I really don't see how it is 'bog-standard'. I've followed this sport and WCs especially for 40 years, and this really feels outside the usual range of favoritism (not mentioning '78, no idea how much this was really stolen) What similar examples would you mention between, say, '86 and '22? 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Surprisingly good spirits? Only because the French team was warned to expect it and not to react, and despite this they all hated this game, the ref and the opponents. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Ref crew that should carefully avoir any vacation they might have planned in France. 010
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 02/07/2026And you can always give suspensions in after-game reviews, that has always existed. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I wish he'd remond everyone that the rules say it's an obstruction. I want indirect free kick back! 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Oh but we do. Winning a World Cup with this talent, sure, everybody could have done it. Following victory with final and whatever happens this year, this is where he's great. I mean, look at recent winners! Brasil's run from 94 to 2002, that's the closest we have, and of course they all had talent. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 01/07/2026To put Deschamps' numbers in perspective, here is the number of knockout games won since their WC final win by: - Italy (5 WCs since '06): 0 - Spain (4 WC since '10): 0 - Germany (3 WC since '14): 0 - France (2 WC since '18): 4 and counting 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 30/06/2026All of France knows there's a Tchouameni -Rabiot - Kone midfield waiting for the first tough game to happen. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 26/06/2026But he very much is ! Not a great club coach or tactician, but certainly great at manageing people and collectives. Same as he was captain of great teams (France 98, 2000) while being a good player surrounded by great ones. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Dembélé is not in that race. Deschamps is big on 'status', so he'll drop the young guy who happens not to have a Golden Ball without thinking more than a second about it. So we're back with Rabiot on the left in what we still call the 'Matuidi' role. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Fed and manager can't make a team, but they absolutely can make a team bad. 140
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 11/06/2026It is in a World where you realize you've given 1 red card too many to the other team 050
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Not an expert on the topic (not even english), but I understand that it could be tricky to actually change the electoral system, which requires a vote by the Lords, without having put it in their campaign manifest. Insane, I know. 010
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Compromise position : well situated between them, with less rain than UK and less heat than Italy, better chances at the WC, great food & wine etc., France is better than both. 000

Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This paper, mostly praising him, seems like the journalist is describing tons of red flags as if it was 'background color' www.theguardian.com/society/2021...theguardian.comTrauma, trust and triumph: psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk on how to recover from our deepest painHis 2014 book, The Body Keeps the Score, has become a huge pandemic hit, topping bestseller lists this summer and becoming a meme on social media. What does it tell us about the world we live in? 020
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Are there really some people who think the only options are "not using AI" and"using AI like a moron" ? In 2026 ? 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 21/03/2026I had technical problems at work due to the y2k bug in January 2020, so... 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Sorry sorry what? Does that mean you're missing the Marocco-Senegal game? So you missed... THAT? 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 07/07/2025Nor in Semaphor's editors. Where is this " its' " coming from? Can't anyone write a simple possessive anymore? 030
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Was wondering, did you go to Polignac, the village, see the old family fortress, when you went down to Chavaniac see Lafayette's castle? They're like an 1/2h drive from each other. (and does everyone know that the Monaco ruling family is heir to the Polignac title?) 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 24/05/2025That would be 'Enzo Le Fée', not 'La Fée', even if that makes his name slightly less funny. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 23/05/2025I'm just astonished you didn't even the Martian Revolution podcast (season 11 of @mikeduncan.bsky.social's Revolutions podcast). I certainly hope you're not unaware of the galaxy's best podcast! 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Not sure that's the way to see it. LLMs are great at producing a lot of ~good ideas, but bad fot great ones, bc they can't make the necessary creative links. But great ideas use 'high volume of ~good ideas' as inputs. LLMs are good for your 1st step, bad for your final result is a better heuristic. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 12/04/2025See, the problem with the high tariffs was that people were obviously going to find ways to game them. Now, thanks to Trump's Daily Generation of Random Tariffs (DGenRT) Team, that's impossible! 181
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 12/04/2025My oft-repeated thesis is that the core of trump voters is 'A-Team baddies', i.e. the local boss and his goons. 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 08/04/2025That's not me, but if this leads to merch, I'm buying. 030
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Indeed, 'markets' not 'market' as we had the same bump in France and I guess in all open markets in the world. 010
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 07/04/2025I want to be clear that when I said 'F*ck the system and f*ck the experts' , what actually I meant was... 060
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I'm starting to begin to kinda understand what Kalecki was saying (thanks Tooze!), but I still have no idea what he would have recommended in any situation, apart from 'Keynesianism, but without being naive about the consequences'. Any idea where to look for some Kalecksplaining? 010
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 10/12/2024What do you think happens if he ditches the plan and settles on purging the FBI? 100
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Not that I want to summarily dismiss the criticisms of a murderer, but I don't see how this applies to the current situation. Afaict, you're telling Matt that he should pay you to stop giving away what he writes, which I called blackmail and he called not the right thing. Your take is... Idk. Weird? 300
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Famous, respected economist? You can get Piketty, we're not using him these days... 010
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 29/11/2024She doesn't have an 'upcoming trial', the trial is over, we're just waiting for the sentence (if any, but the question is more likely if there will be jail/ineligibility). 130
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Maybe, but they were already there, or going there. The pipe went something like health nuts --> antivax nuts --> pro-Russia nuts / full MAGA, and it did not start recently... 000
Dijonpando @dijonpando.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Current numbers would imply a clear D win in '28, but would D really want to do 4 years D / 4 years MAGA forever? I think GOP is actually ok with that, but moderating enough to prevent the thermostat to switch to the nutjobs would be better for the world. 000
