Ah, on m'informe que Macron a écrit une lettre aux Français. Peut-être que finalement on va l'avoir la grève générale pendant les JOs...

Pretty awesome, especially for the ones among you who have a Mastodon account and tend to forget about it. ;-)

Je sens que les semaines et mois à venir vont encore plus puer du bec que les semaines passées, et il n'y a rien que je pourrais y faire sinon faire monter ma tension qui n'en a pas besoin. (si j'arrête de suivre des gens ce n'est pas personnel, désolé) (2/2)

Je crois que je me suis plus préoccupé de ce qu'il se passait en France ces deux derniers mois que ces deux dernières années, mais je crois que je vais reprendre les bonnes vieilles habitudes. (1/2)

Ma sciatique donnant des signes de retour, je suis retourné chez le docteur mais j'en ai changé. Avant un vieux monsieur me plantait de grosses aiguilles dans le dos et y injectait qui sait quoi. Maintenant un jeune éphèbe me tripote les fesses. Une expérience bien plus plaisante. ;-)

It's also a good reminder that if you create things for the web (especially text or images) put your content in a place you own. Stop leaving it into the hands of corporations owned by billionaires who don't have our best interests in mind.

Do you have your own website or blog? Cloudflare has announced a new feature blocking AI bots. I'm not sure how efficient it'll be, and I suspect that it will be a constant whack-a-mole process, but it's better than nothing.

Extreme heat affects us all, but it doesn't affect us all equally. In Phoenix, legislation was just passed THIS YEAR, prohibiting landlords from preventing low-income mobile home residents from installing cooling shades & AC units because it "looked bad".

A new NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets and sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse, and then make it much worse with bad design.

I think I like this show even better than Game of Thrones (more "focused") despite the fact that I still don't know the names of half of the characters (but there will be fewer and fewer to remember in the coming weeks)

I don't want to be a downer, but: the far-right National Rally doubled its number of seats in the National Assembly. The French election was not the catastrophe it could have been, but that is still a big move in the wrong direction.

More seriously, that trope (that some candidates dropping out in three-way run-offs is a "coup") has started spreading even before the vote. I sense discordian Putinist intervention. They've been quite active lately in France.

Oui, oui, c'est pas le rêve, mais hier soir, je me suis couché en pensant me réveiller avec une majorité fasciste, donc la nuit fut agitée et le réveil surprenant. Maintenant bien sûr que rien n'est réglé. Il reste une dizaine de millions de Français qui veulent du fascisme.

Mais ça s'est vraiment généralisé les "je fais ceci, je fais cela" sur tous les sites du gouvernement... L'impératif a-t-il disparu de la langue française ? L'infinitif à valeur impérative aussi ? J'ai vraiment l'impression que le site (donc la République) me parle comme si j'avais 5 ans […]

You can make it if you want, this is one of the strength of English. Verb: (verb) to turn into a verb. example: "You can verb the noun verb if you want, it's one of the strength of English."
