When I was 4 yo, I started asking “Why”. About everything. Driving my mom crazy.
My whole life is about answering this question, so I can learn new stuff every day, on a large range of topics. I’m here to learn and share.
#la-linea IMHO, the most brilliant cartoon series there ever was. Minimal design with maximum message. There’s a lot more on this channel #humour #fun

There’s a French word that cannot be translated in English; It’s the kind of weather we have this time of year: giboulées. It’s very unstable, from blue skies to storms in an instant, a mix of sun, rain, thunderstorms and hail. It’s nevertheless lovely because it’s a sign spring is here. #weather
As much as I want #Bluesky to grow, as much as I don’t mind if it’s in a slow, organic way. I don’t want bots to invade us with their filth. I’m fine with putting some extra work to engage with our crowd in order to create exchanges that lead to more understanding.
For once, I agree with the market. There must be an old sailor song that describes a sinking ship somewhere… Please, post links. #Trump #TruthSocial
shocked -- shocked! -- that the stock for Trump's worthless social media platform is trending toward worthless
Avant même avoir lu l’article, je blâme les sujets anxiogènes comme: changements climatiques; guerres; polarisation de la société mais surtout, désinformation.
Jamais je n’ai autant été obligée de marcher sur des œufs à la machine à café. Pas un échange sans un commentaire complotiste. Ça use.
I’m about to embark on a journey that will allow me not only to learn more about Ukraine’s history, but also will help me debunk Russian propaganda. Thanks to @eugene-smelyansky.bsky.social
I will keep you posted. Media may be forgetful but we should not. #Ukraine needs us more than ever.
We’re facing so many existential crisis that it would be easy to feel like giving up. However dark our future may look, there are always slivers of hope to convince us we can overcome anything if only we put our minds together. This is what Ukrainians are doing. #Ukraine
Watching #WoT -The Wheel of Time again. The more I watch it, the more I’m convinced it should win an award for fully embracing the diversity already present in the books. #diversity
It doesn’t stop at skin colour or sexuality; it also allows women of the whole spectrum to shine. Women rule in #WoT
Hats off to the resilience of the people of Ukraine. This should motivate their allies to make sure that they not only survive, but that they thrive once they win this unfair war.
Tired of not having the coffee machine chats anymore because there’s always one colleague who’s going down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories daily. Their cognitive dissonance is so extreme that nobody dares call them out. I don’t want this to become the new normal. #conspiracy #qanon #maga
Russian elections results.
I’m amazed at how much these small countries are giving away to help. It may seem proportionally more than some big countries, but let’s not forget that in times of war, there’s a lot going on in the shadows.
I can’t wait until I learn all the secrets of the Ukrainian victory.
At some point, Russia will have to pay for those crimes. But, most importantly, we must look for a way to prevent these.
One more « never again ». Will we ever learn ?
Mariupol Drama Theatre bombing by Russia on 16 March 2022 killed civilians sheltering inside, despite “ДЕТИ” (Children) marking outside.
Russia built a Potemkin-style facade at ruins but can’t hide war crimes. It is a symbol of Moscow’s assault on humanity & Ukrainian heritage
I’ve never been on TikTok. Not interested. But I don’t understand why it has become a target while Fox News and the like are allowed to regurgitate the Russian propaganda to a large audience. #vatnik #propaganda #qanon #conspiracy
TikTok hysteria notwithstanding, the heads of the CIA, FBI and Intel community are careful to note that any threat to national security is purely hypothetical. There's no evidence that TikTok has ever coordinated with the Chinese government.
“We have nothing to add,” the FBI said, when asked for evidence of TikTok’s actual threat.
theintercept.comIt’s always great news when Russia shoots itself in the foot. At some point, as the laws of physics predict, a pile of sh** has to and will collapse. #Ukraine
I’m listening to the latest album from Peter Gabriel and it brings up so many different emotions. Deeply moving. However dark the title sounds, it’s kind of uplifting. As usual with this great artist, there are many levels.

A masterpiece. #music #PeterGabiel
Yes, democracy and a peaceful era has led to the underfunding of the military in Europe, cosy under the NATO umbrella. How long will stand watching at these obvious breaches of international law without reacting?! Does Ukraine have to bear the brunt of Putin’s wrath?
russia waited after the first attack on Odesa
And once rescuers and medics came to help the wounded civilians -
russian army hit again
1 medic 1 rescuer killed
7 rescuers wounded
2 fire and rescue trucks damaged
We have to, most of all, define what “success” is. Descriptions may wildly vary in our polarised world. Ours must bring attainable goals to fight the current of nihilism that aims at destroying our democracies.
Rewatching the The Wheel of Time and I still love it! Books are very hard to transpose to the big/small screen. Even Jackson’s masterpiece has its detractors. IMHO, it kicks off nicely in season 2 and, in #WoT parlance, the wheel weaves as the wheel wills OR, the reel achieves what the reel wills.
The old guy isn’t the one the media keeps talking about.

One of the reasons I keep liking & quoting goes beyond my own appreciation: I want #Bluesky to succeed. There’s an urgent need of a social network that isn’t ruled by extremism of any kind; where exchanges of viewpoints are not toxic; where we can learn from each other. Let’s build it!
Gotta hit the sack but can’t wait to read the results on my way to work.
So f* true! The porn named network comes to mind
I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...
But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?
J’attends impatiemment le compte rendu auquel vous êtes autorisé
I’m in awe of the courage and determination of the Ukrainians. Armies all over the world must be watching and learning.
Sadly true, although nothing new. Money has always ruled, as far back as we know. The difference is that, in a #democratic system, this should be prevented. #democracy
May they all realise that #Ukraine will do all it takes to win. Eventually, the EU will follow. With the USA or without. There’s no alternative.
Ukrainian intelligence intercepts conversation: evacuation ongoing in Russian Grayvoron, Belgorod Oblast

www.pravda.com.uaPlease tell your #QAnon relatives that there’s way worse than their imaginary #pizzagate that Russians are killing, raping, kidnapping and brainwashing #Ukrainian #children. They may end up being a force for good.
Not could. Not enough. What I want to hear is “EU does use €27bn in profit from frozen Russian assets for Ukraine.” The EU is not yet fully awake although the clock alarm is deafening.
EU moves towards using €27bn in profit from frozen Russian assets for Ukraine
Officials could put forward proposal before meeting of prime ministers in Brussels next week
www.theguardian.comKudos to Russians who dare oppose and even confront Putin. I hope it becomes a wake up call to the population. Bring down the rotten system that maintains a mediocre man in power. Save #Ukraine and get rid of #Putin.
Russian resistance destroyed two ammunition dumps in Tetkino, Kursk Oblast, Russia
This area is now under the control of Russian nationals, Russian Volunteer Corps, Freedom of Russia Legion and Siberian Battalion in support of #Ukraine
They continue to hold the area and resist Putin's authority
We need all those who believe in democracy to join in. Save #Ukraine
🇸🇪🇺🇦 Sweden announces it’s joining the Czech initiative to buy 800 000 artillery shells for Ukraine on the world market.
Sweden will contribute with USD 33 million
What we tend to forget, amongst all the horrors the Russian soldiers shamelessly commit daily, is that #Ukrainian children are targeted in a very specific way: those who survive bombs and torture, may be kidnapped, taken to Russia then brainwashed. They are deliberately disappeared. #Genocide
Tonight, as always, I think of the victims of #war. They are hearing the sirens, then the sound of attack device before the explosion.
I don’t have to go through the rubble to find my loved ones, as people do in #Ukraine or in #Palestine.
Let’s the pressure on our leaders reach the boiling point!
Why can’t I replace #1Password with Apple’s #password management? It’s missing features I use daily: different vaults, handling keys distributed as files and all the fine tuning. I’ve been using 1Password since their 1st public beta and I’ve never been disappointed. Time to renew my subscription.
The #SiliconCurtain podcast is a go-to source to understand everything related to #Ukraine. It covers so many different topics - it would be too long to post here - and it goes in-depth.
There are guests from all walks of life, from experts to grassroots organisers.

Je suis estomaquée par l’ampleur de l’opération de propagande à tous les niveaux que la Russie a pu impunément mener en Occident.
Je refuse de croire que nos services secrets sont nuls à ce point.
Je penche plutôt pour un aveuglement des politiques et pas qu’en France (qui a dit l’Allemagne?)
Could calling #Ukraine “the Ukraine” a way to identify Putin’s friends? I’d like to hear from you about that since I lack the time to research this topic nor anything else, in fact. Feel free to reply, I’d very much would like to exchange with you, wherever you are.
For some reason, I’ve always felt using “The Ukraine” instead of “Ukraine” was demeaning. I finally decided that a Google search was required and I found out everything I needed to know, thanks to the BBC. #Ukraine
Spoiler: I’ll stick to Ukraine.

We’re always talking about Russia’s playing 3D chess. I’d rather call it for what it is: mafia racketeering. It’s all about money. #russia #ukraine #murdoch #corruption

www.bbc.comAlthough I can understand historical reasons for this positioning until 2014, it’s utterly unacceptable since. Germany must wake up.
Every political position Germany has taken the last 25 years has been beneficial for Russia. That remains a fact to this day. Push Ukraine down 1999-2022, delay help, obstruct others who want to help. I think Germany wanted Russia to win fast in 2014 or 2022 so it could go back to business as usual.
