I love Litterbox! But I hate ads. Sad that corporate consumption needs to infiltrate nice things for authors to survive.

Edit: it's not even an ad, it's worse! That chain of cafés is just a cultural norm now. That's depressing.

There's no real link with French. She's just calling him a sweet boy in proper english I guess.

With my shallow understanding of Nietsche, this comic is accurate that Nietzsche admires and sees the Übermensch as a goal for humans. But "rising above nature" and "the spirit is stronger than the body" is exactly the opposite philosophy to the Übermensch.

The censorship makes it worse actually

Sure, I regularly see some recording in parks or in stations.

Not a policymaker but I'd guess the cause of the far right appeal is linked to

  • Growing inequalities, enrichment of the richest, and trickle up
  • Unchecked power of big tech and media companies like GAFAM, X, and traditional media being centralized in ownership.

Both can be tackled by regulations at the EU level.

Edit: actually, centralization/monopolization seems on the rise, no? Be it tech, media, food, transportation...

Like for any country with a "cordon sanitaire" as we call it in Belgium, this coalition now needs to address the fundamental reason motivating people to vote for the far right. If they fail to do so, the far right will gain points elections after elections until they reach the outright majority.

Splitting a Helium atom would require energy, not release it. Up until iron, fusion releases energy. For larger atoms, it's fission that releases energy.

Do they really think it harms the children though? I mean, if their child is LGBT and says "I'm happy", the bigoted parents wouldn't go "ah okay then, I thought it would hurt you". The truth is that when queer people "makes their child queer", the PARENTS are the ones hurting.
