Le 17 c'est pour le pote punk qui a sauté sur deux flics dans leur véhicule, il avait demandé qu'on veille sur son chien, il a sauvé une fille des mains de ces salauds à la Gare saint Charles. En zonzon depuis, mais dans nos cœurs.
In France, police officers who passed their recruitment exams with an average mark of 7 out of 20 are beating secondary school pupils with their batons because the pupils are demanding teachers. A true dystopia.
119 injured (some seriously: an eye gouged out, fractured jaws, broken limbs), 1,065 arrests…
These are the figures for police repression in France against minors who are simply asking for the means to study under decent conditions.
High school students are demanding teachers, nurses, principals, air conditioning, toilet paper, and—for some—drinking water at their schools.
These kids are minors, and Macron’s response is, “Let’s gouge their eyes out.”

Map of Atlantis: Based on Plato and Diodorus
Date: circa 1775
Contrary to Plato’s account, which specifies that it was located west of the Pillars of Hercules, other scholars propose a location in the heart of the Mediterranean, as shown on this map.
It's #ThickTrunkTuesday - A wonderful day to all the tree lovers, and may the rain come back soon!

French actress Adèle Haenel went to a TV show that gives guests a «Carte blanche» and she called out the Genocide in Gaza in a powerful way. The channel censored the program and removed it from its catch-up platforms, ironically proving her right...
Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday dear friends.
The thousand-year-old yew tree of Saint-Ursin (Manche, France)
An incredible trunk with a circumference of 10.18 m (at a height of 1.30 m)
This venerable yew—over 1,000 years old—is unique in that it has developed adventitious roots.

The Tamme-Lauri oak (Estonia).
A circumference of 8.20 meters and an age of around 600 years, this venerable oak—the oldest in the entire country—is the pride of all its residents; it also adorns one side of the 10-kroon Estonian banknote.

Estonia’s most famous tree is the Tamme-Lauri, the country’s oldest and largest oak. “Tamm” means “oak” in Estonian. The tree’s name refers to the legend that Laurentius, the god of fire, once lived there.
