My ambition to be a writer has so far only resulted in three short stories. The muse is proving restive!

You can find my efforts here: https://t.co/eAZI9rKrAe together with synopses and an anonymous feedback form.
Enjoy!

Please, go read the definition of "cahoot", Mr Rajan. It doesn't quite mean what you seem to think it does

@mariecchambel Le problème est la confrontation de deux conceptions très differentes de la liberté d'expression. La version US qui est absolue (anything goes) et la version européenne qui est limitée par les libertés individuelles. La version US est la gagnante pour le moment, il semble

- come back of the university free speech law https://t.co/h3xQpXqL90

So, let me get this straight: reintroducing beavers is "Tory legacy" that can't happen, but that awful university free speech law with its stench of culture wars is acceptable?!

In France it is now woke to test future police officer on the ways to treat victims of homophobic attacks (this from one of the main radio stations, which recently took a turn to the right. It used to be the only one my parents listened to, when I was a kid)

[Le coin des LGBT+ @lecoindeslgbt]

Europe 1 (dont l'actionnaire majoritaire est Bolloré) dénonce le fait que les policiers puissent être interrogés durant leur concours sur la prise en charge des victimes de LGBTphobies.

@milien_louvens @NetflixFR J'ai apprécié mais le scenario ne fonctionne pas complètement pour moi. Structure étrange, et histoire un peu cliché. Domage

France is about to have another big rape trial. This time that of a gynecologist with 130 complaints against him... (79 rapes and 16 assaults will go to trial). But it won't get the same coverage because there won't be the people angle of a charismatic victim to front it #r4today

It seems the new MO of the swivel-eyed Musk brigades is to drop a disobliging comment on the one of your posts they object to and immediately block you. I'm sure they feel very proud and righteous for having had "the last word" too 🙄 That's thanks to the new faux blocking system

I'm watching a British series from 2003, and in the subtitles the words "very nice, cold Chablis" are replaced by "very nice, cold [non-english]" 😅

[Nicolas Chinardet @zefrog]

How cool and convenient! You're found guilty but face no consrquence whatsoever because you are rich and powerful... now that's what I'd call two-tier policing (but I bet those normally whinging about won't see it that way)

[Nicolas Chinardet @zefrog]

@BBCWorld That's ok, then!

This is an extremely short-sighted attempt to woo Trump and Co. Younger employees actively look for companies that promote DEI. And such companies are proven to be more successful. Go woke or go broke, Meta!
