The original video of him saying this to journalists in the oval office needs to be seen.

They skip over his direct, obvious and fucking terrifying rant about how and why it would be "rebuilt", and how its " such beautiful land, it could be much better there if they hadn't managed it so badly" etc etc.

Its so overt and chilling and nobody is calling it out.

probably what happened to me as well, i remember a large part of my itunes being gone. I switched to downloading and managing my library manually on musicbee and haven't stopped, even after switching to linux i still run musicbee through wine.

Given the horrible impact of spotify on the industry and the shady shit going on, i don't regret it, as much as i feel like a weird hermit sometimes for not using spotify or any other streaming service. Nobody can take my music away, and I can use it however i want.

You're right, I'm not sure where I heard the comparison with the IVth recently but I didn't know about the 2 days one damn. A bit of an exaggeration, but we're clearly in a similar spot with a government that's completely incapable of doing anything. Even if the fascists get in there and there's a liberal-fash alliance, the rot and contradictions are here to stay, it's not gonna magically make it functional.

This is exactly what I want to see more of.

Speaking of patterns and emergence, I believe this is a case of convergent evolution. I'm seeing many things I've thought about, wrote about, tried to figure out, and I know many others are the same, I am not original.

I'm bookmarking this and will read it in full when I've got time.

Also rumors are that macron did not want to give it to Bayrou but he threatened to remove the backing of the modem and his MPs so macron was basically forced to. Lots of internal fighting at the moment as well in the centrist/liberal camp, previous PMs and ministers under macron now fighting and backstabbing, throwing revelations to the press, etc.

For anyone who doesn't follow french politics the fact bayrou got the PM position is hilarious btw. And all the gov picks are like bottom-of-the-barrel rejects and opportunists, everybody knows this gov won't last long and nobody wants to be in it. I think macron's playing for time. Remember how people used to say the 4th republic was "so unstable" because of the changes of governments and that's why it failed (which is not really the case)? We've had the shortest-lived governments in 2024 under macron, way shorter than the 4th republic ever got.

The recent series adaptation? I loved that one, I don't get why people get so mad about it. I really don't care for perfect fidelity of the material if it does interesting stuff with it tbh.
