Karine Jean-Pierre, Joe Biden’s former White House press secretary, was the voice of the U.S. government, a responsibility she demotes to a form of self-actualization in her new book. “The Democratic Party is broken. But she’d have to look beyond herself in order to tell us why,” Sarah Jones writes.

Cathedral, Kew Grove.
London, 2025 — Rolleiflex 2.8D; Ektachrome.
Photographed in the redwood grove at Kew Gardens, far from their native coast, this trunk stands like a built thing — a column of patience, the body of a tree become architecture. The air is hushed around it, as if aware of entering a sanctuary.

Belgrad jetzt. Das sind schon irre Bilder. Eben sind die Student*innen nach Novi Sad losgelaufen, um am 01. November dort mit den Menschen der 16 Opfer zu gedenken. #Serbien #DemokratieVereint

Wo diese mehrere tausend Student*innen schlafen werden? In Inđija. Einem Ort mit ca. 25 000 Einwohner*innen, die alles tun, um ihnen eine Übernachtung zu ermöglichen. Was hier in #Serbien passiert, ist etwas Einzigartiges, das demokratische Kräfte weltweit beobachten, analysieren und diskutieren sollten. #DemokratieVereint
in reply to Dejan Mihajlović

Um es verständlicher zu machen, was da gerade passiert: Viele kennen das Gefühl und/oder die Bilder, wenn mehrere tausend Menschen als Kolonne bei einer Demo durch eine Stadt marschieren. Hier marschieren Student*innen, Schüler*innen und die organisierte Zivilgesellschaft ca. 80km durch #Serbien. #DemokratieVereint

The thing about online talks, is that you don't get any cool laptop stickers.

Glad this one has an in-person option 🙂

Se n for pra usar #mastodon hard user, eu nem uso. Agora que to nessa pegada, me desapeguei 100% das outras.





Quand j'explique à mes amis italiens que les français ont des gros problèmes d'orthographe, ils ne me croient pas.

Aujourd'hui, je trouve la phrase suivant sur "Chez Pol", la newsletter de Libération :

"Les rouges, notamment, ont pu exprimé qu’ils ne comprenaient pas pourquoi ..."

Maintenant, il semble bizarre qu'un italien, qu'il ne parle pas un français très correct non plus, pointe du doigt les fautes d'orthographe d'un journaliste français.

En effet, les italiens repèrent tout de suite ce type d'erreurs, parce qu'en italien le participe passé et l'infinitif ne sont pas homophones. Donc, si on traduit la phrase ci-dessus mot par mot, on note immédiatement que ça ne va pas.

Et je vous assure qu'échanger infinitif avec participe passé est l'erreur d'orthographe qu'on trouve par tout, dans les emails, dans les documents officiels même, et il est fait par tout le monde, même les gens vraiment très éduqués.

Il faudrait peut-être accepter que c'est très difficile de rester concentré tout le temps pour éviter ce type d'erreurs.

en tant qu'italien qui a vécu un France environ 12 ans, je ne peux que confirmer ce que tu dis.

@kappazeta
L'histoire de l'orthographe française est à la fois intéressante et complexe. L'Académie française souhaitait préserver une langue qui n'existe plus, ou du moins qui n'est plus vraiment utile dans son usage actuel.

"Au début du XIXe siècle, l'orthographe se fixe et, contrairement aux autres pays romans, c'est le courant étymologiste qui prévaut et non pas phonétique."*

TL;DR: A recent survey reveals that a significant majority of litigators, particularly at the partner level, are integrating AI tools into their practices, signaling a shift towards technology in legal operations. artificiallawyer.com/2025/10/3… #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

opening with saying people are using AI for law and saying “this is good” should be a disbarring offense


I have the STRANGEST of notions at times. I've been journaling in what I call my "Wonky Journal"

It's called that as I have this thing where I'll take a pristine journal and start with my best writing and nice neat lines but then give up when I make a spelling mistake or smudge etc thereby "ruining" the journal.

So I decided I cannot ruin this one as it was never meant to be perfect. (Prefect is an unachievable state anyway!)

Anyway I digress. My writing (especially scribbled notes) is TERRIBLE and it slopes up and down the page. However I started adding doodles and small drawings in my journal to help illustrate my mood, thoughts, observances etc etc etc.

Now My writing is terrible but my drawing skills? Even worse I'm afraid 😁 I have zero artistic talent... which makes my current notion very puzzling to me but I just can't shift the idea.

My journal is plain paper (doesn't help with the writing I can tell you XD) and it's quite thick.. I fancy getting one of these tiny pocket sized watercolour palettes and using that for my journaling.

but dear god. I know nothing about paining. I look at some of these on Amazon and they look Jank. Obviously AI generated images of the same item with very few actual reviews. -OR- they're expensive , obviously aimed at the professional kits with more features than I need.

I also don't want to have to carry around a lot of stuff with me. Already enough carrying my massive journal and a pen.

this is the sort of thing I'm looking at (not this one obvs.. I mean look at the image!)

any suggestions?

cc'ing the Doyenne of all things art @welshpixie

EDIT ... I'm leaving that Freudian slip in. I mean PAINT-ing but PAIN-ing is probably more apt for me ;D

so i decided to go for your first suggestion. I liked the watercolour pen idea but I'm a bit daunted by the choice of colours.

Didn't want to go too expensive as, like all my notions, I'll probably decide I don't like it and give up.

Изтеглянето на американски войски от Източна Европа идва в момент, когато руските провокации зачестяват – и то не само по границите на НАТО, а и в самото сърце на европейската несигурност.
Вашингтон променя приоритети, Москва тества граници, а Европа мълчи и чака. Въпросът вече не е кой ще ни защити, а дали изобщо има кой да го направи.

Weil deutsche Journalisten auch Aufsteiger als „shooting stars“ bezeichnen. 😎 Das ist wohl die bildungstechnische MINT-Krise. 😆
