Une publication intéressante d'un motocycliste qui raconte la fois où il s'est promené dans le nord du Québec en 2023, lors des feux de forêt qu'on a connus.

I went on a moto adventure into the Canadian north, seeking pristine fishing. What I encountered was a life-threatening ordeal with the James Bay wildfire.

Did you know that Storygraph has a dev team of like, five people? They take public feedback on new features and glitches to fix, too. For me, that more than makes up for having a slightly less polished site than Goodreads (owned by Amazon).

One of my favorite reads of the past few years was the long-awaited translation of the Godzilla novels that were written alongside the production of the first two films. There was a lot of new, interesting stuff in them.

So I was very happy to discover today that they're doing Mothra next.

If you're a Quentin hater (or hater curious) check out 'Killer Instinct', Jane Hamsher's excellent chronicle of the making of 'Natural Born Killers'- it will confirm all of your suspicions about what kind of person he is with well sourced firsthand accounts
I sort of suspect Quentin Tarantino will not be considered a Welles-level auteur in fifty years and the Coen brothers absolutely will

Steven King audiobooks should come with a “skip parts about female sexuality” button. In The Dead Zone there’s a woman who douches when she’s feeling too horny, and it’s like, Steve, you’re way out over your skis.

This might sound like a hot take but friends: Read books as a hobby this year. It is one of the best things you can do for your brain to grow your thinking and perspectives.
If you want to be anti-consumption get a library card.

Bonus: in places like UK/AoNZ/CA library copies pay authors

Après la censure du gouvernement Barnier, le président de la République a tenté de rassurer les Français jeudi soir, tout en rejetant la responsabilité de la crise sur les élus et les électeurs.
