St Trivium sur Bourge is pretty cool. I wonder, if you have to translate DotL into English, how would you translate this?

Hahahah, ville de colles would have meant city of glue :D
And colles means gangs in catalan apparently

3) It’s easy to give advice to not suck up to Trump, but not all countries are placed in the same boat. Noone is invading Germany and France. But Poland? Or Estonia? They can’t afford to be mean to Trump.

2) Ms Sloan is an obvious expert, but she will likely not be part of the next administration. Accordingly, she gives unique advice, but like you said, the message is already given by all tbe experts. Will her letter make a difference? What does it bring more than what we already have?

The letter is very poignant and summarizes the issues well, but do you think it’s really necessary?
1) I get the feeling that the EU political players have understood the message, but have trouble implementing it un practice for internal reasons (France for budget, etc.)

Why do you think that Germany’s relationship with France will change due to its increasing presence in the military? Do you think that Germany will re-arm so efficiently so as to eclipse France?

AI replaces entrance level positions, this is the entire problem.

What did they do?
December 9, 2025 at 6:59 PM
Can they actually enforce this? Like, if the EU says « fine, but four freedoms bla bla » and imposes de facto freedom of movement, can’t he just say « well, I tried, but they just asked too much ».

Look at you, assuming quality! 😂

Fyi, Swift had said something about the music industry, how they propel you to AMAZING fame, but also sort of dig your grave in the meantime, to replace you (especially young pop singers).
December 6, 2025 at 4:11 PM
It is true that sometimes, your 2nd stand up is worst than your 1st. It is also true that fame affects how your jokes land. But it doesn’t mean you have nothing else to talk about.
It may mean you need a break to do your next thing properly tho; or that you should try new stuff.
December 6, 2025 at 4:10 PM
What is better though? Would you prefer young Carlin or old Carlin?
There is some stuff that washes out as you age, bc you are no longer that person. But it doesn’t mean you can’t go on.

They didn’t use to be, but reps promised tech paradise.

Do you think having access to music has really reduced the fact for people to sing in a pub?

Have a wonderful day as well!

Not to mention that there has also been significant precedent re-recognition. Not to mention that this ignores the social climate: in Bulgaria gay men avoid even holding hands! And we act as if gay marriage is now legalized…

It’s also completely ignoring the meaning of the case. This is importznt, and it’s a victory, but saying it’s Obergefell is false, so instead of celebrating what it is, we need to fight about what it’s not.
November 25, 2025 at 11:47 PM
That’s not true. Also, there was already precedent on the topic of recognition of gay marriage. So not even that new.

This is also underpinned by hard data - economics, war and so on, but for a major change in policy, timing IS key - because this also depends on how the parties think they should position themselves.

Especially since the UK has said time and again it does NOT want to reopen this debate. So therefore showing initiative too early may be counterproductive on the EU side. Don’t offer something you know will be refused today.
November 18, 2025 at 1:00 AM
I don’t think so - not for ego reasons lr even for EU internal reasons, but for pragmatic reasons. For the UK to want to join the EU / become close to it, the EU needs to appear strong. You don’t go back to an ex who keeps begging you to return
November 18, 2025 at 12:59 AM
Not to mention how Reform polls.
November 17, 2025 at 3:21 PM
That’s true, but don’t you think the UK should make the first step? Wouldn’t any step made before by the EU be perceived as meddling in UK affairs? And how possible would that even be given not even Labour wants a closer union with the EU?
