🌻 Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
- by Wendell Berry
Poem: Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front by Wendell Berry   Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Poem (continues): Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion — put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. Poem (continues and ends): As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn’t go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

Prise de vue incroyable, par le télescope spatial James Webb, de cet immense jet de gaz produit par une très jeune étoile en formation (située en-dehors de l'image, en bas à droite).

Par une coïncidence cosmique, l'extrémité de ce jet protostellaire passe juste devant une galaxie lointaine.

Missing the big picture 👁️
Comic strip by Duke: Two men stand behind a wall, one of them represents “science” and can see easily what s on the other side of the wall because he s standing at the top of a ladder. In this case, the weather is shining, there is just a leak and drops of water from a container at the top of a close by building. The science guy is looking at the other guy in disbelief trying to show him the other side of the wall but his counterpart who represents “social media” looks like he is not giving a fuck about what his friend is trying to tell him, he s happy just looking from a tiny hole in the wall and shouts “it is raining! You lied to me. I can see it all from here”. From the poor angle he can have, the social media is missing the big picture and is mistaking the droplets from the leakage as (false) evidence of rain.

Comics by “In Otter News”: one image with title “At the interview Steve is asked if he can perform under pressure. Steve is not 100% sure he knows the lyrics… but he’s about to try his best” on the drawing: facing the viewer on one side of a wooden desk, a cute otter is sitting in front of two interviewers otters. The applicant otter has the name tag “Steve on” and a tie, its tiny paws are in front of her chest. We only see the back of the chairs and heads of the interviewers otters, they look serious handling resume and taking notes as they focus on their funny-looking applicant

Jumping… into conclusions! 👾🧠
Comic strip in 13 images from Game Over by Midam Adam Holybe: 1st image: a little funny-looking knight approaches the edge of a cliff with a big metal pipe structure. It seems the knight has to enter the pipe and slide down to the lower level to continue his quest. 2nd image: zoom in on the dubitative knight looking into the huge pipe 3rd image: knight picks a small rock that he found on the ground and throws it into the pipeline with care 4th image: zoom out on the first loop of the metal structure, the rock is going down as expected, clanging against the walls of the pipes 5th image: zoom in on the end of the huge slide and, with a final clang, the little rock is bouncing back on the ground below 6th image: back at the top of the cliff, the knight looks victorious and resolved 7th image: little knight jumps into the pipe slide 8th image: we see the little knight gaining speed and sliding easily through the pipe 9th image: knight going through the loop looking satisfied 10th image: knight on the final slope with a smile 11th image: knight noticing a sharp and narrow metal grid blocking the exit of the slide, he is surprised and can’t brake as he definitely gained too much speed 12th image: focus on the exit of the pipe, the little knight is diced up instantly after going through the grid with horrified cartoonish look the different pieces remain almost in the same place in the air for a split second 13th and final image: all the pieces of the knight fell into a white bin with the message “game over” and the knight’s two astonished eyes sticking out on top of the pile

Little perspective and philosophy regarding our evolving selves and what matters 🙏🏽

happiness may not be a final destination but our desires coping with reality… sheeesh(!😮‍💨) it ain’t easy to sort your way “forward” 🥾
Comics by SUNDAE KIDS in 6 images: 1st image: under title “when I grow up I want to be…” we see a little girl with a huge smile having 6 dreams bubbles around her: in one she is a fairy, in another she enjoys 2 ice-creams, other one hugging her plushie, playing around as a ghost, or jumping in pool full of balls or having tea with her rabbit friend 2nd image: in same set up, the same girl a little bit older smiling with 5 dream bubbles: drawing, getting a good grade, a present, winning a medal or the respect of her peers after achieving something great 3rd image: now teenage girl and her 4 dream bubbles, each time less and less bubbles: chatting with girlfriends, doing make up, shopping and finding Prince Charming 4th image: girl keeps growing and smiling as though her smile gets less enthusiastic on each image. She now has 3 dream bubbles: one is about traveling, the other is landing interesting job, and getting happily married 5th image: same girl, now an adult, with neutral expression and dreaming of getting tons of money and vacationing with a cocktail on a beach 6th and final image: with title responding to the title in first image “happy.” (When I grow up I want to be happy), she is now full grown, not smiling at all having a single dream bubble over her head. In there, it is mirroring her current picture, the only change is a large smile on her face similar to the one she used to have as a kid in the first images.

"200 %", mon dessin paru la semaine dernière dans Les Echos Week-End.

Pour commander mes recueils de strips : www.exemplaire-editions.fr/auteurs/marc...
Bande dessinée. Un chef plein d'entrain demande à son employé si sa motivation est au top. L'employé répond : à 100% patron ! Le chef dit alors : c'est pas mal, mais ici on se doit d'être à 200%. L'employé répond que mathématiquement, on ne peut pas être plus à fond que 100% en fait. Le chef dit : sauf si vous devez effectuer le travail de deux personnes ! Puis il poursuit en regardant ses fiches avec un air très sérieux et en disant : ce qui m'amène au point suivant...

Brilliant letter from parents to their childless friends by Sammy J 😂🥰

🎶 I’ll see you in 17 years,
I’ll be fine, go on without me 🎶

🎶 I’ll see you in 17 years,
till then pretend that I’m dead
Picture my smile, remember my face,
I’ll be gone for a while, but save me a place 🎶

Nice overall experience
Picture of 3D sculpture of two-faced god Janus in orange fluo like Greek/Roman style + pixel/3D printing looks pixellated, lights emphasizes the contrast 2D representation of Janus sculpture showing the 2 heads facing opposite directions while being attached by the back, colours are fluo and a dense network of straight lines are intersecting to form the overall sculpture

I regularly watch old movies starring Robin Williams. What a great actor he was and such a kind man 🫶🏽

So sad he left us ❤️‍🩹, will forever be grateful for the depth of his many characters, the humor, the empathy, all the messages that are still so relevant. Let’s keep that spark 🙏🏽

Going back home 🚲
Old photograph (source unknown) likely from French rural area in the 50s: a grey-haired man wearing a black beret and trousers and a white shirt is riding a bike on a straight road between rows of trees, the shot is taken from behind so we only see his back. Behind him on the bike, a big baguette secured and a young boy is sitting on the bike too, wearing also a black beret, a white shirt and brown shorts. The boy is grabbing the man’s waist to avoid falling and he looks straight at the photographer turning his head over his shoulder. Overall impression is a surprising glimpse in the daily life of these two people with some nostalgia and gentleness as the grain of the image is old and the only character’s face visible is that of the quiet kid
