French Senator Claude Malhure excoriates trump -

"A year ago, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong – it's the Cour des miracles (it used to be well known slum in Paris inhabited by criminals and beggars).

A Turkish proverb says - when a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus.

Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction."

Apple abandoned FireWire last year. I'm bringing it back with this new Raspberry Pi HAT, a prototype of the 'Firehat' by some creative individuals in the MiniDV community. See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuKeW45OL-g

I really appreciate the vulnerability that comes with writing something like this and releasing it to the public. We need to do a better job of recognizing these traits and supporting one another. 💕

When you get over 40 everyone's secret favourite part of a night out is the moment the first person decides to go home, thus giving you licence to do the same.

First time at a big lecture where they've handed out little bits of paper for people to write their questions instead of having to ask out loud. Love it! So much better. (Also as it is an arts uni of course the 'basic' paper they've used for this is amusingly good quality)
