I am now a character in Thomas Pynchon's latest novel, it seems.
It is certainly a mere coincidence, but I'll take it as a tribute, of course!
The general trend. (Nothing like the late 70s and early eighties to catch that flavor of angst we can feel right now... Ah, my youth, my youth!)

Bon, le fascisme, il est dans la place, finalement?
On peut réagir?
On a le droit?
(Je demande pour un ami"centriste")

So, is fascism here, after all?
Can we react?
Are we allowed?

If Putin attacking Ukraine is not OK, then Trump attacking Venezuela is not OK.
Sanctions now.

Si l'attaque de Poutine contre l'Ukraine n'est pas acceptable, alors celle de Trump contre le Venezuela ne l'est pas non plus.
Des sanctions doivent être prises immédiatement.

Personne n'en parle : pour ceux qui bossent dans la grande distribution, les fêtes de Noël c'est l'enfer.

Ereintant, abrutissant, on est ensevellis de boulot et de pression.
Le 24 on travaille, parfois jusqu'à 18-19h.
Le 26 on travaille, souvent dès 5h.
On encaisse en attendant que ça soit fini.

To resist is not necessarily to "break things".
To resist is mostly watching these things fall apart while you remain true to yourself and kind to others.
