FireWire Is Officially Dead It had a good 26 year run.

- Capture footage from a DVcam

Missed, but not forgotten.

C9M : le vol noir des corbeaux

Tweet de BFMTV : "Laurent Wauquiez annonce la suppression de "toutes les aides de la région" à l'Université Lyon-2"

La véritable "cancel culture". Celle de l'anti-intellectualisme et du rejet de la pensée critique.

les chefs de partis sont des gros bébés capricieux à qui on passe tout parce qu'ils ont réussi à mentir suffisamment bien pour qu'on les pense brillants

ainsi tous les partis sont dirigés par d'excellents menteurs, bons orateurs mais médiocres penseurs avec égo surdimensionné
