Alors ce premier roman est enfin une réalité. Voici Une fille et une balle papillon, tout juste sorti des presses. En librairies le 18 mai!

Cette Coupe du monde sera mémorable pour les mauvaises raisons, preuve #122:

We look at our neighboring worlds and we see a grim warning. Venus is a runaway greenhouse hellscape, its surface hot enough to melt lead. Mars is a frozen, bone-dry desert. Earth is the anomaly,a perfectly balanced, delicate jewel where the conditions for life are miraculously just right. Yet, we continue to treat our atmosphere as if it were an infinite dumping ground. A fragile canopy. A destabilized climate. A global crisis.

Ce sera une Coupe du monde mémorable, mais pas pour les bonnes raisons.

Cette Coupe du monde sera mémorable, juste pas pour les bonnes raisons.

I remember writing a similar story about 25 years ago.

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

There was a time when MTL could not keep/sign top players because of taxes and potholes and no one spoke English at Costco and I recall one agent telling me, "a lot of players want to go to winning teams like Detroit". It's a cycle, always.

Cette Coupe du monde sera historique, mais pas pour les bonnes raisons.

This has all the familiar hallmarks of the peak of an investment bubble Stage 1: An influx of investor capital (i.e. dumb VCs with money burning a hole in their pocket) gives rise to fundamentally unprofitable business models (AI Labs) Stage 2: This sends false price signals throughout the economy (i.e. selling compute at negative margins), causing massive misallocation of capital (businesses and employee workflows built around artificially cheap compute) . Stage 3 (you are here): The false price signals inevitably clash with economic reality. In a race to show less horrific cash burn ahead of their IPOs, OpenAI and Anthropic have switched to consumption-based pricing models, and now we're suddenly finding out that companies like Uber and WalMart are cutting back on consumption Stage 4 (coming to a stonk near you): Lots of paper wealth gets vaporized

It’s a great thing when the player you admired as a kid became an even better person later. Ken Dryden knew already in 1972 that there were things more important than hockey. First time I see this wonderful documentary. So glad I got to know Ken personally.

A Pancreatic cancer diagnosis used to be an almost certain death sentence. If this is the gamer changer it could save so many lives.

No, here's the thing about Toronto: they finished 15th in the conference and missed the playoffs.

Most data centers have semitruck-sized diesel backup generators, making sporadic smoke plumes a fact of life for many in Virginia. An analysis of the emissions found that pollution from the generators could cause respiratory symptoms and premature death. wapo.st/3RylZlb

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally. Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

Nothing in sports bums be out more than the dismantling of and current rotting carcass that is Sports Illustrated. It was my sports bible for 30 years.

Where did you see @OzzyOsbourne's 1984 tour with @MotleyCrue opening? As a lifelong musician & music historian who has amassed a library of bootleg film performances, I was surprised to discover this rare footage taken on May 18th 1984 in my hometown of Jacksonville Florida (the southern rock capital). It contains footage of the now demolished Veterans Memorial Coliseum (where I attended many concerts) and the legendary Bark At The Moon / Shout At The Devil tour. Research it if you’re unaware of the debauchery that surrounded this journey. About a week before the show, I recall seeing local news stories that were covering the hype surrounding this event. Jacksonville’s WFYV Rock 105 regularly played radio spots for it and ticket sales had actually improved because of the religious protesters against this concert. When it was reported to the city’s mayor Jake Godbold that Ozzy took the stage dressed in drag before he fully disrobed (except for his jock strap) during his performance, he wasn’t pleased with that kind of behavior. He deemed the show obscene and then banned Ozzy from doing any more concerts in Jacksonville. It was reversed after two & a half years and when Ozzy returned with his Ultimate Sin show on September 10th 1986, he shouted to the audience (paraphrasing): “These are YOUR f---ing concerts and don’t let anyone take them from you!!” Photos from that night will be added below. #OzzyOsbourne / #CIRCUSMagazine
