You know, there’s actually a Tintin book where they go there!

L’affaire de Tournesol (the Calculus affair).

I think Haddock would insult the pirates there though. One of his quips is “pirate d’eau douce!” ie. “soft water pirate!”

PS: Léman, actually comes from proto-Celtic “lem” which meant lake. So Lac Léman is “lake lake” 😂.

Its marketing is 99% on shitty mobile games that have adds everywhere. If you don’t play shitty mobile games or have a DNS level add block you won’t see it.

They are identical twins.

And the babies don’t look identical because that’s not how it works. Otherwise you would be identical to all your siblings.

The capitalists wanted their extraction back. And everyone else blindly followed like “yaayyy no more masks, lets just ignore the continued deaths”.

I’m not sure that would be popular enough to be helpful. Maybe just mention what you need help for or want people not to say on your social media?

South Africa helping prosecute Israel for genocide while whitewashing Putin’s mass killings of Ukranian civilians is peak Campist.

Maybe we don’t need fancy stadiums and lucrative tv deals. We just need people playing footie and people watching them for fun.

I’m starting to think the more ethical option might just be to start supporting my local grassroots team…

Oh fuck yeah. Fidesz is gonna go ballistic tho. Expect propaganda to the 1000%.

Hungarian law already basically bans the opposition from advertising itself and constantly represses it. This is only gonna get way worse…

 

Scientists in Nigeria found the insects carry infections resistant to last-resort antibiotics, adding to fears about superbugs

 

As many of you might have seen “disabled” “disability” “accessibility” etc are among the words being purged by the Trump admin.

This means no new grant proposals for research for example can contain these words or it won’t get funded. And that government websites (like NASA and other agencies) are being forced to remove these words.

This is a very scary time for us all, and ontop of everything, there seems to be very little recognition of the harms Trump is doing to disabled people in the media or in activist groups and such.

I know how scary and isolating this can feel. I’m putting this thread up so people can vent and share.

Anyone read this? Unsure if I should read it — I have always been fascinated by the philosophy of science in relation to medicine and psychology — maybe it would be interesting to see how medicine differs from biology?

 

Not sure how I feel about the gold vs production mechanic but the rest sounds really cool.
