Mon #vendredilecture avec un peu d'avance...
๐'๐๐ข ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ญรฉ ๐ฅ๐ #๐๐๐ฐ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ !
Je me suis promis de tester pour sortir de mes habitudes de #lecture .
๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง:
๐ Un dรฉbut agrรฉable. De l'humour. Le #trope est le #fakedating ( les deux protagonistes font croire qu'ils sont ensemble et se prennent finalement au jeu). Une ambiance bien construite de comรฉdie romantique.
๐ C'est certes caricatural, mais je l'ai lu trรจs vite et avec plaisir. Un genre lรฉger, parfois drรดle, avec des personnages charmants.

Oh boy... we've crossed some kinda threshold here. ๐
"At a political event in #SanFrancisco on Wednesday afternoon, individuals present chanting โtax the richโ switched their chant to โtax the #Jews,โ San Francisco Mayor #DanielLurie stated.
โThis was an event I put on with [District Five] Supervisor [Bilal] #Mahmood, labor leaders, and dozens of workers to announce a plan that creates more jobs for those workers and housing for #SanFranciscans,โ #Lurie said of the event in a post to X/Twitter.
โSuggesting that Jews are wealthy is a tired #trope, and targeting our community at an event focused on creating economic opportunity for San Franciscans is decidedly #antisemitic,โ the Democratic mayor added."

Wherein Jewish Currents creates a mysterious question about Jewish identity that falls into the trope they describe. So fucking dumb. Jew knows Jews is not weird.
"Faced with this old #antisemitic #trope of a wealthy, sexually perverse #Jewish #cabal that controls the interlocking worlds of #finance, #media, #academia, and #politics, we can bring a corrective clarity by pointing instead to #capitalism itself as the #conspiracy; we can also locate Epstein within a much broader and not distinctly Jewish #elite network that is bound together not by a shared identity but by a deep #misogyny and desire to protect powerful men from accountability for #sexualmisconduct and crimes. Whatโs less clear, however, is what to make of the many banal markers of Jewish identity that run through the story Epstein and his friends told about themselves. One can recognize a nostalgic, almost kitschy relationship to Jewish identity that plenty of ordinary #Jews tend to indulge in."

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
In the jungles of central Klatch there are, indeed, lost kingdoms of mysterious Amazonian princesses who capture male explorers for specifically masculine duties. These are indeed rigorous and exhausting and the luckless victims do not last long.*
* This is because wiring plugs, putting up shelves, sorting out the funny noises in attics, and mowing lawns can eventually reduce even the strongest constitution.Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author

Tonight is series two of #bluelights on #bbc
If you did not watch series one, then #bluelights squeezes every possible #trope in.
Garbage, and I have no idea why the BBC promote it. That said, they keep commissioning Mrs Brown's Boys which is total f* garbage.
Want to watch totally predictable crap? Have at it.
Otherwise enjoy watching a sunset. Or flowers. Or paint dry.

The vast majority of #Jewish #Americans #identify as #Democrats, but #Trump has often #accused them of #disloyalty, perpetuating what critics say is an #antisemitic #trope
