I saw a giant sand sloth (two eyes and one nose) and can't unsee it 😅

Il fallait une preuve de plus qu'il y a beaucoup trop de gens qui ont beaucoup trop d'argent ?

By great, I meant that it is indeed the second largest democracy in the world and that, imperfect as it may be, it is functional... But that last statement will soon be put to the test I'm afraid.

 

Every 10 years, U.S. states redraw their congressional and state legislative maps to account for changes in population. In many states, the politicians who control this process draw district lines in a way that maximizes their party’s partisan advantage and makes it effectively impossible for their opponents to win power.

This practice is called gerrymandering and here is a map to know more about it.

I'm sorry, dear US-American friends because you have a great democracy but also at the same time one of the most flawed electoral systems of any democratic state in the world...

Et puis ? Malheureusement, ces actions sont quotidiennes et pas poursuivies en France, même avec une preuve vidéo, tant qu'il n'y a pas de blessé ou tué... Il faut faire en sorte que la poursuite soit systématique et là encore que la peur change de camp.

I have a stupid question but what are the costs of a journal like this? I mean, if they don't pay the researchers and the reviewers, what do they do?

Somebody wants a word with you

Perhaps it's because our society values certain professions much more than others, particularly those in the social/educational sector, which are particularly undervalued. IMO, we need to put everything on the table and reconsider what we want to be considered as useful work for society.

Shamelessly stolen somewhere else 😅

 

This is quite concerning

 

Les retours en arrière c'est toujours une mauvaise nouvelle, mais là le timing questionne...

 

The latest I've found is this one !
