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)

Alors que la COP30 débute aux portes de l'Amazonie, de riches propriétaires de terres assènent de fake news le débat sur la déforestation.

Reporterre a rencontré l'un de ces leaders, cow-boy pro-Trump résolument anti-écologiste.

Comment ça se fait qu'il n'est pas assigné à résidence ? Libéré pour cause de yaourt, déjà 🤬.
Mais s'il mérite l'exécution provisoire de sa peine, qu'est ce qu'il fout au resto 🤬🤬🤬.

I saw this first video taken from the other side, and just sort of assumed someone added the comically timed Rocky music in as a joke.

Apparently not!
Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

Encore un scandale de sévices physiques, psychologiques, sexuels dans les “écoles industrielles “catholiques irlandaises où atterrissaient les orphelins.
Over & over & over & over the Irish State fails the people it is supposed to protect.

Once again, if you wrote a story in which the jetsetting corrupt FBI chief took a government plane to the "Boondoggle Ranch" an editor would tell you to get a different job, because you're not cut out for writing believable stories.

AOC's former chief of staff is running for Pelosi's seat.

But he sided with tech zillionaires to oust a Bernie Sanders-endorsed supervisor in SF. The local left doesn't trust him.

What makes Saikat run?
In his race to beat Nancy Pelosi in 2026, Saikat Chakrabarti’s friends and allies are calling him San Francisco’s Zohran Mamdani. Progressives are a bit more moderate on him

Fascinating inside baseball. The omission of those seven words is easy to miss, but it points toward a sharp dispute behind the scenes—KBJ wanted to make it as clear as possible that she did not support extending this stay any further.
Indeed, the text of the order doesn’t include the usual “and by her referred to the Court.” So Jackson clearly got overruled here.

The sheer number of people Trump pardoned — 1,500+ — and the magnitude of violence many (most?) of them committed means it is statistically likely that a fair number will be revidivists, potentially for more egregious crimes. The pardons should be a top story EVERY DAY

REPUBLICAN Rep. @repchiproy is rightly APPALLED that hagerty & @marshablackburn and others snuck a provision to let senators sue taxpayers for $500,000 MINIMUM for being investigated as part of Trump’s insurrection into the government funding bill.

Insane corruption.

Q: “Can you clarify where you said the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Congressional Medal of Honor? Many veterans are upset about that”

The Neo-Nazi Groyper War to capture the Republican Party is a good example of "network war." A group existing mostly online ("in the cloud) takes power in the real world. When it becomes powerful enough to also take land, the victor of a network war can become a network state. That's the 101 theory.
In 2022, Peter Thiel protégé Balaji Srinivasan—formerly of Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase—envisioned a Second American Civil War.

He predicted it would be triggered by Bitcoin.

This is how it would work:
