Le climat absent des discussions du G7 Environnement à Paris : « Si l’on commence à en parler, il n’y a plus de G7 »

La France, qui organise la rencontre jeudi et vendredi à Paris, a dû faire des concessions pour s’assurer de la participation des Etats-Unis.

Reading news these days is like “Clodeximy adds new retroconfabulator model with real time harmonics and 53% more neuroplasticity”.
Hahahah quelle ironie. Un canard champion du libéralisme débridé victime du libéralisme débridé. https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2026/04/16/a-challenges-la-redaction-se-met-en-greve-et-redoute-un-accident-industriel_6680481_3234.html
A « Challenges », la rédaction vote la grève et redoute un « accident industriel »

Avec 88 % de oui, les journalistes ont acté, jeudi 16 avril, le principe d’une grève reconductible chaque mardi tant que la direction et leur nouvel actionnaire, le groupe LVMH, n’auront pas répondu à leurs revendications.

some of y'all are being real fucking weird about this metaphor and i can't say i super appreciate it

apparently i need to spell this out: both these things are about control, and "won't someone please think about the children" is primarily just pretext, just like it always is

if they gave a shit about the children they'd legislate the companies profiting from it all, not unilaterally yeeting kids out of society's public platforms

"Ceasefires are always good news," says Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. But he says his government "will not applaud those who set the world ablaze just because they turn up with a bucket"

That... is a fecking great line.

It's frustrating that the UK is trying to follow in the USA's political footsteps…

Reminder: Margaret Thatcher died 13 years ago on this date!

I propose to raise a toast to the devil on her behalf—a G&T, obviously. (And good riddance to bad rubbish.)

I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.

Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.

Rich people ruin everything.
Because they can.

Loi Duplomb 2 : Gérard Larcher et Laurent Duplomb réclament son insertion dans la future loi d’urgence agricole

Le texte a été modifié par rapport à sa première mouture adoptée en juillet 2025, qui avait suscité l’indignation, avant que le Conseil constitutionnel censure l’article réintroduisant l’acétamipride, un pesticide de la famille des néonicotinoïdes.
