À ce stade je pense qu’on peut officiellement caractériser le déclenchement de cette guerre comme la décision géopolitique la plus stupide et mal préparée de l’histoire, surpassant Napoléon III en 1870

“With the Human Organ Atlas (HOA), users can travel through the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver and better understand our anatomy and the diseases that threaten it. The platform is detailed in a paper published today in the journal Science Advances”

It would be nice if people remembered this piece of wisdom from the greatest economics tweet in history (and the one I am most insanely jealous of not having written, especially because it was a reply to me).
Ignoble (lire les 2 blousques)
Les russes, jamais fatigués de repousser les limites de la décence 🤮
“In response to Hezbollah's rocket barrage, the IDF resumed strikes on Dahiyeh, Beirut, and is considering attacking Lebanon's civilian infrastructure” —yes, Israel has been so so careful to avoid hitting Lebanese civilian targets, as the quote demonstrates so clearly

Trump's Iran War costs the U.S. $1.88 billion a day. At that rate, it will take less than 2 months to match the $109 billion sent to Ukraine over three years during the Biden admin. In only six days, the U.S. has already spent 10% of what it disbursed to Kyiv after Russia's Feb 2022 invasion.
Every March for the past 5yrs reopens wounds that will never heal. These days, russians committed Mariupol genocide, massacred families in the northern regions who tried to flee and evacuate.
We must never forget. Every child shot by the invaders. Every innocent soul. We owe justice to them.
americans would be terrified if we knew what a "litre" was

The rich world just made the biggest intervention in oil markets in modern history.
So why did crude prices barely budge?
Here's my 10m primer on the plumbing of the global economy and the surprisingly simple mathematics underlying the energy shock of 2026👇 youtu.be/0Rl51kNQ1Og?...
Hello, rest of world. Today in Britain the leaders of mainstream political parties have been debating whether putting native woodland creatures on our banknotes is emblematic of our tragic decline as a patriotic nation, and we hope things are equally weird with you.
“I’ve come to terms with the bitter reality: the Islamic republic is resilient… I never thought I’d say this, but if someone from within the regime becomes a real reformer, why not? In the end, we just want peace and welfare.” www.ft.com/content/4e04...

Kind of wild that Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of a theocracy, is the world's first post-modern head of state: unconfirmed appt, no public appearances or sign of life, in an unknown location with limited communications. Baudrillard would be proud.
As the naval joke goes, at least every ship has the potential to be a mine clearance ship once.
Et à cet égard il ne fait compter sur aucun effort et aucune bonne volonté de la part de Sanofi, soyons clair.
La façon dont Big Pharma a retourné Trump comme une crêpe est une mauvaise nouvelle.
Il se trouve aussi que nos apôtres de la souveraineté, whatever that means, n'ont rien de mieux à pousser que raviver la production, alors que c'est la R&D et les études cliniques qu'il faut revitaliser en France.
American and European sanctions on Russian oil since 2022 had forced urals to trade at a deep discount to Brent.
Guess what has happened since the American war on Iran and Iran’s trapping of Gulf Oil in Hormuz?
Everyone needs Russian oil suddenly to reduce pain. So urals now priced above Brent!
Yesterday in Cologne, we saw one of the most difficult bomb disarmaments since 1945. 3(!) hospitals and 6.400 people had to be evacuated.
You wanna guess how many (mainly WWII) bombs are being disarmed PER YEAR in Germany?
5500.

[1/6] Le transport maritime s'adapte dans le détroit d’Ormuz. Certains navires affichent "équipage chinois" ou "propriétaire chinois" pour réduire les risques d’attaque dans cette zone clé reliant le golfe Persique aux routes maritimes mondiales. #geography #shipping #HormuzStrait
This is real life.
“Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee
And if you don't throw in your buck o' five
Who will?”
“Freedom isn’t free” is straight out of Team America.
I found this report to be both startling and disturbing.
