J’ai épluché la bête.

J’ai choppé un set de GMK Dots sur LBC et mon clavier est maintenant le plus beau du quartier !

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock.
Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay

On nous a clairement envoyé l’équipe B ou C de voyageurs temporels. Voilà ce qu’on récolte quand on abaisse la note éliminatoire en « modification de timeline » à 5/20…

Dans ce trailer : quasi aucune des vibes pour lesquelles je suis supposé revenir. Mais j'ai décidé d'accorder toute ma foutue confiance à cette série. Let's go.

Planet's Record-Smashing Iron Wind Hides a Climate Unlike Anything We've Seen Around a star 880 light-years from Earth orbits one of the wildest, most extreme exoplanets we've found to date.

Scientists have reconstructed the insane weather of Tylos, a world so hot, and so close to its sun that the clouds are made of vaporised metal, and where it rains liquid sapphires and rubies. https://buff.ly/41a3GnB

A page in english explaining the french expression "cucul la praline" "So, in France we have this expression when something is a bit silly and very (too much) sweet, we say it's Cucul la Praline. Example of cucul la praline: some rom-com like "Love, Actually" or feelgood movies like "Amelie" (Image of Amelie saying "Let's go to Montmartre and have a chocolate, I'll tell everyone they are special" Cucul comes from "cul", that means "ass". We don't relly know why it means silly/sweet. But there are other examples of doubling the word to make it cuter. Like "con" (stupid) becomes "con-con" (a bit stupid but well-meaning" - La praline is an almond covered in sugar, an old recipe created in the XVIII century for the Marechal de Plessis Pralin (Image of the marechal saying "mmh very delicious mon ami") We don't really know why cucul and la praline ended up together. Probably because it sounded funny and insisted on the "sweet" side. There are (less-known) versions with "cucul la fraise" (ass-ass-the strawberry) or -weirder- "cucul la rainette" (ass-ass-the-frog) There is no exact translation in English, but my friend proposed "Butt-butt-nutty", so if you are a journalist or a writer or else, please use it. I would love it to become a real expression. Some people pretend it could also come from a coconut from praslin in the Seychelles, but there is no explanation on why it would mean "silly" (it's called coco-fesse (coco-butt) because of its shape)

Oldies but Goodies - French is Weird 01 - "Cucul la Praline"

Je me suis toujours tenu à l’écart des substances addictives, par peur de vite sombrer. Balatro me prouve aujourd’hui que c’était une sage décision.
