Séquence hallucinante d'une juge française révélant les pressions américaines dont elle a fait l'objet dans l'affaire Le Pen.

Le RN veut faire campagne sur le slogan "on est chez nous"? En tout cas, ses sponsors se sentent déjà comme chez eux.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Pour mener ses rafles, l’ICE utilise les données de géolocalisation qu’elle achète à des data brokers. Elle peut désormais surveiller des quartiers entiers, sans aucun mandat : l’agence estime que les utilisateurs des téléphones fournissent ces infos volontairement.

Toucher aux programmes culturels publics c’est tuer les espaces de découverte, d’apprentissage, et c’est surtout ôter la possibilité donnée à chacun·e d’entre nous de bâtir des communs où nous faisons société. Le signal est triste, envoyez tout votre soutien aux collègues de Belgique.
Le Gouvernement de la FWB a annoncé sa volonté de mettre fin au contrat-programme de Médiathèque Nouvelle.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."

Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Bien d'accord avec le syndicat de musiciens United Musicians And Allief Workers (UMAW) : il y a bien des meilleures façons d'écouter de la musique que de tendre l'oreilles à Spotify. Ils ont trop de méfaits sur la conscience.

French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)

Bounding through the cold, wet, dark streets of Brussels I shouted “show me all your bagpipes!!”
These in the Musical Instrument Museum are not all of them. But they’re relatively photogenic considering the museum’s lighting.
