À vue de nez, la révélation des déclarations antisemites de Bardella aura autant d'effet sur sa candidature ou celle de Lepen qu'en a eu l'audio du "grab them by the pussy" sur celle de Trump. Même encore moins, ça valide sa candidature chez beaucoup.

The outpouring of love and praise for #dollyparton is a beautiful thing to see and somewhat comforting. May her legacy live on forever.

I recently learned that Dr. James Dobson, founder of "Focus on the family", was mentored by eugenicist Paul Popenoe, and that reminds me of how all fascists want to "drive weakness out of children" by beating them.

To fit with MAGA culture, we should reframe antivaxxers as Ephialtes, the handicapped man in the movie "300", who can't raise his shield high enough to be part of the spartan phalanx, and ends up betraying them.

After 3 heat waves and a fire in a forest near Paris, there seem to be some beginning of a new awareness in France about Climate Change. I wonder if the same thing is happening in other European countries.

Given that every US news outlet probably has Mitch McConell's obituary publication ready right now, I'd have liked to see the surprised look on their face when the news of Lindsey Graham's surprise death arrived instead.

It seems there are malware captchas running around. This one, on macOS, gets you to launch the Terminal app and copy-paste in it a malicious command (most likely a curl | sh).

Mark this moment. This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out. A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party. He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.

The Twitter equivalent of the Instagram wellness influencers making views with posts filled with fake information are tech bros with a similar business model, threads of pseudo-intellectual drivel. Brivael is a prime example of that trend.

A summary of the rumors/trends I see in my social media bubble : - Trump has a few (3-5) months left before his dementia either kills him or forces invocation of the 25th - a huge economical crisis is coming due to loss of confidence in US economy, EU funds are dumping US bonds.

This shower tap is a good example of appearance over practicality. Looks good, but very poor user experience. It's not intuitive, and when you understand how it works it's unusable if your hands are soapy or even simply wet. Really stupid design.
