Une honte

Long road with white skies hanging over. Bicycle in the distance

September sky.

Pe vremuri se glumea pe tema celor care se tratau citind Agenda medicală. Au venit acum dr Google și Dr Chatgpt

Plus că majoritatea ălora pe care îi vedeam cu zaharicale din astea acum sunt divorțați.

La Paris, poți fugi de turiști și să-ți bucuri ochiul cu ce anume s-a mai adăugat pe zidurile din arondismentul al 13-lea.
Mereu în schimbare, mereu interesant, pentru că sunt artiști cei care fac asta, nu vandali

Portrait d'un humoriste devenu chef d'État : Zelensky 🇺🇦

A market stall displays a pile of round, black-crusted tourteau fromager cheese cakes in the foreground, with a small chalkboard sign showing prices. In the background, there are rows of doughnuts and cannelés de Bordeaux arranged neatly in baskets and trays.

Tourteau fromager, mândria regiunii Poitou-Charentes. Pe vremuri, gospodinele din zonă făceau niște turte cu brânză proaspătă de la capră. Într-o zi, cineva a uitat-o în cuptor. Când și-a amintit, crusta era ca tăciunele, dar miezul era pufos și delicios. Așa a devenit vedetă.

Et maligne!

Today Kiev is 1543 years old. This is what Moscow looked like 1543 years ago.

Meanwhile, the Chevy waits, a relic of another era, while I look for the biggest, wildest tree to remind myself that roots matter, but so does reaching for the sky. 🌳

3/3 That’s why today, around the world, we remember that the weekend, paid holidays, and lunch breaks weren’t gifts-they were won. 💪🌍

2/3 Today is Labour Day (yes, the real one, not the September BBQ edition). On May 1st, 1886, 400,000 workers in Chicago went on strike for the eight-hour workday. The peaceful protest turned tragic with the Haymarket Affair, but it sparked a global movement for workers’ rights.

A vintage turquoise Chevrolet pickup truck is parked on a grassy roadside under a clear blue sky. The truck shows signs of age with some rust on the front bumper. Palm trees and lush greenery are visible in the background, along with a wooden building and other vehicles further down the road. The scene is bright and sunny, highlighting the classic design of the truck.

A large tree with a thick trunk that splits into two main branches stands in a grassy park area. Sunlight filters through the dense green leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. In the background, people sit near a calm river, and more trees with lush foliage are visible under a bright blue sky.

Out of Paris for the 1st of May, breathing in some countryside air and what do I find? This old Chevy, straight out of a different America-when dreams were big, chrome was shiny, and the open road was a promise, not a metaphor. 🇺🇸✨

If something good for Ukraine comes out of this surreal Roman holiday, let’s all light a candle for Francis. Because, apparently, it takes a funeral to resurrect diplomacy.

Or maybe, just maybe, the Pope’s last miracle: forcing the world’s most stubborn egos to sit down and talk peace, if only because the alternative was sitting in awkward silence in front of 250,000 mourners and a few billion streaming Catholics.

So, what do we call this? Divine intervention? Political theater with better acoustics?

Zelensky, too, dropped the war-room scowl and looked like a man who’d remembered what hope feels like.

And let’s talk about Trump. The man who usually treats diplomacy like a reality show elimination suddenly looked…different. Maybe it was the marble, maybe it was the incense, maybe it was the ghost of Francis giving him side-eye from the casket, but for a moment, he seemed almost presidential.

Yet here we are: Trump and Zelensky, knees almost touching, whispering in the Vatican while the world waits for Pope Francis’s funeral to begin. The irony? The only place world leaders ever really listen to each other is where everyone else is supposed to keep silent.

Let’s be honest: if someone had told me that the most promising peace talks for Ukraine would happen not at the G7, not at the UN, but in the middle of St. Peter’s Basilica, I would have asked if they’d had too much communion wine. 🧵

Forță și curaj! Artemisia Gentileschi e o eroină timpurilor sale, iar expoziția de la @jacquemartandre e extraordinară și pentru că multe dintre exponate provin din colecții particulare și e prima oară când sunt împreună sub același acoperiș.

🔴 Le candidat pro-russe à la présidentielle roumaine, Calin Georgescu, a été placé sous contrôle judiciaire

Jusqu’alors peu connu, il était arrivé en tête du premier tour à l’élection présidentielle du 24 novembre

As dori detalii despre trasul acesta la raspundere. Nu exista parghiile necesare. Cum ar suna o lege si mai ales care ar fi pedepsele? Si nu pricep nici cum ne vor gasi, cine face listele. Dar mai ales ma bucur ca, departe fiind, n- am ocazia sa ma confrunt cu persoanele astea.

Russia recklessly attacked again the Chornobyl nuclear site.

Such attacks on civilian nuclear sites are unacceptable.

It shows once again that Russia is not looking for peace.
