Is there yet a conspiracy theory that Erika Kirk and JD Vance got Charlie Kirk "removed" so they could be together ? If not, there should be.

I've been rewatching Aaron Sorkin's "West Wing" and "The Newsroom", and boy does it feel strange. Both in their prescience of things to come, and how tame things were in the US compared to now 😔.

mRNA vaccines saved 20 million lives in a global pandemic and the technology is opening up new avenues for the treatment of deadly cancers. This is really one of the most impactful scientific developments of our time.

Turns out that Maria Machado, 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is a Trump supporter 🤷♂️. Quite an annoying plot twist...

Tron Ares is getting panned (unsurprisingly), but people seem to think Tron Legacy was a good movie, and that's a bit surprising. Special effects and music were great, but he story was pretty bad and missed the whole vibe of the original . #tronares #tron #tronlegacy

I think the main problem with unregulated capitalism is this :
Nature favors diversity. Unregulated free markets always tend to uniformity.

Large study on the deep and silent effects of COVID-19 : www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/5/...
It's kinda like climate change, people don't see the effects outright so dismiss it as benign.

@colas.nahaboo.net à propos de l'idéologie libertarienne au sein de la Silicon Valley vs le courant progressiste
1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

This and bsky.app/profile/carn... are two more demonstrations that many prominent Silicon Valley CEOs are just plain stupid. We really need to get past the idea that someone who's rich and successful in a specific business can't otherwise be an idiot.
If Sam Altman and the AI industry's vision for the future requires data centers everywhere operated by fusion power plants, it's not a vision. It's a hallucinatory fantasy.

Je sais qu'on est en plein été, mais un milliardaire français qui projette d'investir 150 millions pour porter le RN au pouvoir vient d'assumer que son objectif n°1 était que la France ait « plus de bébés de souche européenne ».
Ça devrait être dans tous les médias. Ça n'est quasiment nulle part.
