Hier soir (11 mai) j'étais l'invité de Guillaume Meurice et sa bande dans "La dernière". Ça s'est passé au Palais des sports de Grenoble, devant 1400 personnes, c'était sympa comme tout.
Il y aura une version vidéo, je vous laisserai la trouver. En attendant, pour podcaster le contenu, c'est là.

Mon invitée était la paysanne Anaïs Goffre, qui défend la cause la plus fondamentale qui soit, l'installation d'une paysannerie vivrière locale.

Alors "écrivez à vos député·es pour demander pourquoi les ADDEAR ne sont pas reconnues d'utilité publique"
Mon avis : parce qu'il y a déjà les chambres d'agriculture sur le créneau
Mais ces dernières sont quasi toutes pilotées pas des syndicats productivistes de droite. Les ADDEAR, plutôt marquées à gauche... Ben elles n'ont pas un rond, notamment des régions de droite 😕

Géopolitique - Quel avenir pour les Palestiniens ?
Plus d’un siècle s’est écoulé depuis le début du mandat britannique sur la Palestine, en 1922. La Palestine est depuis au cœur d’une rivalité entre Juifs et Arabes qui nourrit un conflit sans fin, le plus long conflit contemporain.Marie-France Chatin (RFI)
The Shell (Conus marmoreus), Rembrandt van Rijn, 1650
Collecting exotic shells was a popular hobby in the 17th century, and it excited Rembrandt’s interest too. He had a small natural history collection of his own, including this marbled cone shell; it is similar in shape to the conus cervus, a ‘deer’ cone. He rendered the form and markings of the shell with meticulous care on the copperplate. Note that the shell appears in mirror image.

The image features a close-up view of a vibrant flower cluster with a spherical shape. The flowers are predominantly a rich magenta color, with some petals displaying a lighter shade of pink. Each flower has a central greenish-yellow pistil surrounded by delicate petals. The stems of the flowers are long and slender, radiating outward from the center, creating a starburst effect. The background is a blurred green, suggesting the presence of leaves or other foliage, which contrasts with the vivid colors of the flowers. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the flowers arranged in a radial pattern, emphasizing the spherical shape of the cluster.

The image features a cartoon character resembling a red devil with horns, a bald head, and pointed ears. The character has a surprised expression, with wide eyes and an open mouth, and is gesturing with both hands raised. The background is a simple yellow wall with a door visible. The character is positioned in the center of the image. The text at the top reads, "HOLY HELL, HOW DID THAT SOUL GET THIS MESSED UP?" and the text at the bottom reads, "BETTER GIVE THEM SOME WARLOCK LEVELS TO KEEP THEM ALIVE, DONT WANT THAT CRAP TO GET DOWN HERE." The overall tone of the image is humorous and exaggerated.

Carla Hayden, la prima bibliotecaria nera del Congresso, è stata licenziata da Trump
La bibliotecaria del Congresso Carla Hayden è stata licenziata all'improvviso dal presidente Donald Trump, nel contesto degli sforzi dell'amministrazione per epurare i dipendenti federali che, a suo dire, si oppongono al suo programma.
Hayden, confermata dal Senato nel 2016, è stata la prima donna e la prima afroamericana a dirigere la Biblioteca del Congresso, che custodisce una vasta collezione di libri, documenti storici e preziosi manufatti del Paese. Il suo licenziamento è avvenuto in seguito alle critiche dell'American Accountability Foundation (AAF), un gruppo di pressione conservatore che ha accusato Hayden e altri funzionari della biblioteca di promuovere libri con "contenuti radicali" e materiale scritto da oppositori di Trump.
"L'attuale #Bibliotecaria del Congresso Carla Hayden è un soggetto woke, anti-Trump e promuove i ragazzi transgender", ha scritto AAF su X, poche ore prima che la notizia del licenziamento di Hayden diventasse pubblica. "È ora di mandarla FUORI e assumere qualcuno nuovo per il lavoro!"
