Coming up this Thursday on Mixed Borders mirakamdar.substack.com a ‘Fresh from the Garden’ post on dahlias. Like many flowers in the West, a plant “discovered” by Europeans, named after a European botanist, the mesoamerican civilization that cultivated it destroyed.

Fascinating interview on France 2 TV of Volodymyr Zelinsky by journalists from all over Europe. On the set, a French journalist, a British journalist, an Estonian journalist and a German journalist. Others call in. The level of the discussion puts any American television journalism to shame.

Ten years after the terrorist massacre that sought to silence France’s most irreverent magazine, @charliehebdo.fr is still going strong. This just perfect. Bravo Charlie! C’est parfait. Juste parfait.
