Experts said Trump’s action could potentially lower the cost of prescription drugs, perhaps by the 30 percent to 80 percent scale Trump said, but they cautioned that the order’s required procedural steps would make it far from an immediate fix.PBS News

Das Bild zeigt eine winterliche Landschaft mit einem schneebedeckten Hang, der von dichten, bewaldeten Hügeln umgeben ist. Im Vordergrund führt ein schmaler, von Reifenabdrücken gezeichnete Weg durch das Schneebedeckte Gelände. Ein einzelner Person in einem roten Mantel ist auf dem Weg zu sehen, der sich von links nach rechts windet. Links im Bild steht ein kleines, rustikales Holzhaus, das von Schnee bedeckt ist. Die Bäume sind mit Schnee bedeckt und die Luft ist neblig, was die Szenerie in ein mystisches Licht taucht. Der Himmel ist grau und bedeckt, was auf eine kalte, winterliche Atmosphäre hinweist.

WARREN ZEVON
Warren Zevon
1976 Canada pressing
One of the most underrated songwriters of his (or anybody else’s) generation.
Zevon’s real life was as wild and insane as those of the characters in his songs. Over that life, he offered up an incredible run of albums, of which this is one of his very best.
“Hasten Down The Wind”, “The French Inhaler”, “Mohammed’s Radio”, and the stunning “Desperados Under The Eaves”; all remarkable songs.
On a related note, if you haven’t seen it, go on YouTube and search out the David Lettermsn show where Zevon was his only guest.
Warren was dying, and Dave gave him a wonderful send off. It’s an incredibly moving tribute to the man. Zevon is funny even while starting death in the face, and his live performances are essential viewing.
Just an all time legend, who enriched our lives along the way with incredible art.

Voilà une tribune qui mériterait davantage d'exposition que les inepties de ces dernières semaines concernant les jeunes et les écrans : open-asso.org/presse/2025/05/g…
Il existe une voie pour un numérique émancipatif. Cette voie ne passe pas par le fait d'interdire l'accès au numérique aux jeunes alors que les adultes continuent de se vautrer sous leurs yeux dans des usages toxiques (à commencer par les responsables politiques, incapables de quitter X, mais si prompts à plébisciter des mesures liberticides pour les autres).
Ne nous trompons pas d'adversaire. L'adversaire ce sont bien les Big Tech et leur modèle de captation de l'attention.
