Sad update, my beautiful Blini passed in her sleep. She had a number of health issues and a recent surgical procedure (that was necessary) plus the heatwaves were all too much.
She passed quietly at night at home. Mimo is so far doing ok. Blini got me through many difficult times, I miss her dearly

Anyone planning a holiday in France, be warned that another heatwave is coming next week — the fourth this summer.
Should Travelers Give Up on Summer in Western Europe Because of the Heat?
A favorite vacation option may be at risk because of rising temperatures. Even those sticking with their summer plans agree: More air conditioning would help.

Early morning flight with Gwen Stefani (and No Doubt) years ago. Even in casual sweats and a time when everyone was groggy, she looked fabulous.
Random question: what celebrity have you met in real life who was dramatically better looking than ypu thought they were based on on screen appearance?

It's incredible to see what corrupt, bad leaders do for a country. Is it possible to recover? Seems doubtful.
Enten on the 67 point swing (!!!) against Israel among Americans: "We're not just talking about the Democratic base anymore. The general electorate has turned against Israel. This is not just a left issue. It's an American issue. The trend line is unbelievable."

AI bet goes awry: Oracle fires 21,000 employees | The Jerusalem Post
Oracle laid off ~13% of its staff to fund a $300B computing deal with OpenAI. Now, a credit downgrade and $7B in required power grid guarantees put the massive project in jeopardy.

The bagel’s journey from Jewish immigrant food to American breakfast staple
The bagel in America is an immigrant story with a hole in the middle. It came with Eastern European Jews escaping poverty and antisemitism, landing in New York street carts and bakeries.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved.
Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.*

Yeah, bragging about having support of mass murder Kissinger or rightwing wacko Liz Cheney makes sense though right? JFC these bed wetters are the worst and should spend a lot more time asking why so many support the DSA over who has been governing.
The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA.
If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

DSA is on the upswing now because it is the one flavor of Democrats actually governing right now.
It would be helpful if other flavors did too, especially if they don't want DSA to run the table.

I think a party that can welcome anti-Trump Republicans can also embrace members of the DSA. I think it should, actually

Faster response times by the Paris fire department thanks to new larger bike lanes is something cities such as Berlin, Montréal and other cities should consider as they turn back the clock on cycling. It's also something progressive cities should think about when building out.
Dans le rapport 2025 de la Brigade des Sapeurs-Pompiers de Paris, le temps d'intervention moyen est stable à 6'15", toujours notablement inférieur aux 7'23" de 2019, avant le boom de création des pistes cyclables. Ceux qui affirment que les pistes gênent les secours ne parlent jamais de cela.

The Paris fire service report 2025 shows time to arrival at a call out has decreased since the major roll out of protected cycle lanes in Paris (from 7m23s in 2019 to 6m15s in 2025). Increasing safety for cyclists and discouraging cars from the city center has shortened emergency response times.
