  1. Faut que je vous parle de mon collègue surnommé Pénéloppe Fillon, Jean-Michel Sans-gène, ou le baromètre, qu'on a mis dans mon bureau il y a 2 ans. Pénéloppe, parce qu'emploi fictif, copain et voisin du patron, à 800€ de TJM. Il arrive à 9h (normalement, c'est 8h), passe 3h par jour à la machine à café, fait des pauses de 2h30 le midi, et passe son temps sur le net. Son vrai job? Baromètre, à la demande du chef, il l'avoue lui même. Il parle avec les gens, le reporte au chef. #parasite #toxique

  2. @wolfgangbremer
    Yeah, that was a good one, too! Good story telling and it featured two of my favorite actors at that time, Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins...

    I ran out of characters in my toot, otherwise I would have also mentioned #FightClub, #Seven, #PrimalFear - and to avoid the impression of being obsessed with 90s movies: #Parasite :mastogrin:

  5. CW: parasites, matter, us

    @nev For anyone interested, I'll leave links to the interview I just read, which resembles the one I read as a child:

    - and the interviewee's YouTube channel, where he documented his experience: youtu.be/eM3IlLk8Mwo

  6. It seems that after last week's dryad drawing, I've still got flowers on my mind.

    There's a Japanese concept called 'hanahaki-byou' (flower-vomiting disease), whereby the sufferer has flowers grow inside their body due to unrequited love, eventually killing them if not cured. I had that in mind as I drew this artwork, though perhaps this particular case is more like a cordyceps infection...

  7. The empire’s grip is loosening…

    #BTS has taken Bong Joon Ho's [ #Parasite] measurement and reached the opposite door, and the difference lies not in the judgment but in what each institution offered. #Hollywood, once measured, opened its front entrance, so Bong walked in. The Recording Academy [ #Grammy], once measured, offered a side entrance with a language test, so BTS walked out. These look like opposite choices. They are the same choice, made by #Korean artists who stopped letting an American ceremony decide how large they were.”

  8. Former #FDA official says #US handling of #cyclospora near ‘catastrophic level’
    There should be an independent review of fed government’s response to the rash of illnesses caused by the spread of a #parasite found on raw #produce, according to #FrankYiannas, who was deputy commissioner for food policy at FDA under both Trump and Joe Biden from 2018 to 2023. This has been compounded by a “lack of strong federal leadership” and mixed messages from federal agencies, he added

    youtu.be/2dQ88XX-zxM

    Taylor Fresh Foods donated $1 million to the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC on March 26, 2025 - just 6 days after the FDA delayed enforcement of the Food Traceability Rule until 2028
