Mostly, international, French, US politics. History & humour also.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect"

C'est du Sartre, ce n'est pas tout jeune, mais je trouve que cet extrait reste pertinent, surtout en cette période de "noyer la zone sous la merde" comme le stratégise Steve Bannon.
(L'extrait est de"Réflexions sur la question juive, 1946)

Elle va peut-être découvrir que nul n'est obligé de l'inviter et que cela participe bel et bien de la liberté académique 🤷‍♂️
Mauvaise nouvelle : Nathalie Heinich, qui a publiquement dénigré des consoeurs à cause de leur identité ou de leurs sujets de recherches, et a depuis plusieurs années entrepris une mue vers une carrière de militante publique, découvre avec horreur que des gens préfèrent ne plus l'inviter.

The AI bubble is so out of control most RAM manufacturers have stopped manufacturing RAM for pcs and shifted to high bandwidth RAM for AI computing. There's now such a severe shortage that prices have jump 3-4x in just a month and it is impacting the ability to supply PCs and gaming consoles.

The depositions from the batshit CBP and ICE officials in Chicago have been unsealed. Here's how Russ Hott denied actually knowing anything about one of the weirder claims they made: that a protestor had ripped someone's beard off.

The government hasn't purposely taken health insurance from Americans since Reagan's cuts kicked 600,000 off Medicaid in the early 80s.

And it has never deliberately deprived millions of coverage they already have.

If the Republicans don't pay dearly for this, everything is at risk.
The Trump health care proposal that would extend ACA subsidies for 2 years has been put on hold by House Republicans who can't stand seeing people covered. But that plan had a lot of stuff in it that would worsen insurance and raise prices, @ryanlcooper.com and I write.

The Republican plan to more than double premiums is gone, but the insurance will get worse, and the poor will pay more.

It's much simpler than that. The Boy Scouts aren't maximally cruel to trans kids and so Republicans believe it should be destroyed.

The US will collapse before Ukraine
FWIW, RUMINT, but pretty reliable:

1. Vance key to US embrace of Russia plan on Ukraine, Rubio (and even Trump) out of the loop.

2. Vance-Rubio relations “awful.”

3. Rubio told the senators exactly what they said he told them.

4. Hegseth paranoid he’ll be shoved out, Driscoll will replace him.

Exactement. Le support de ces tristes sites est le plus sûr critère de disqualification.
In Europe, only Orbán and Fico welcomed the plan, a clear sign of how destructive it would be for Ukraine and Europe. Their enthusiasm says more about their alignment with Moscow than about any path to peace. 3/5

A very interesting site! However, it should be noted that there is also evidence of continuity between the Linear Pottery culture 🏺and the Post-LBK period in certain regions of Central Europe. It is evidence of crisis that makes headlines, not evidence of continuity.
