L’eau dans les robinets
Ariane Mnouchkine refuse le collège de France : Nicolas Sarkozy fait de nous des collaborateurs, il essaye de récupérer tous ceux qui ont une certaine surface médiatique, les artistes comme les autres : c’est inacceptable. (…) Il faut que Nicolas Sarkozy arrête de faire croire que c’est lui qui met l’eau dans les robinets. Edit du 27/07/07 : Ariane Mnouchkine revient sur sa décision. →

Martine chez les gouines
Qu’est-ce qu’on avait pu rigoler avec Bruno sur des faux titres de Martine, l’idole des enfants de tout âge. Visiblement, on est pas les seuls. Mention spéciale à »Martine cache un cadavre », que j’aimerai tellement pouvoir proposer aux clientes de la librairie. →

As Gay As It Gets
I’m back in T.O. and I have to say the city looked wonderful in the sun on my way from the airport. You can feel it’s Pride Week too, there’s gay people everywhere, I meam more than ever. I’m sure it makes Toronto Tourism very happy, if you believe their new campaign : As Gay As It Gets. Via Torontoist. It’s so funny how transparent they are about willing to… →

Paris will always be Paris
It seems that Paris is not that different after all. People are mainly the same. Places are oddly familiar. And I’m glad to enjoy the »pains au chocolat » I missed so much. Lucky me, the weather is beautiful so I can walk around freely, most of the time with friends I’m delighted to meet. I’m being very french myself, spending my time in »cafés », shopping for designer cloths and reading… →

Hotness According to Lesbians
I’m such a dyke, I totally agree on most of the choices and it’s so enjoyable to see a top 100 where Helen Mirren and America Ferrera ( »Ugly Betty ») are before Monica Bellucci: The AfterEllen.com Hot 100 List, via kottke.org. My very own number one would be Kate Winslet, though. →

Devastating Conclusion
Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war mom, is giving up the fight and is going home. The touching conclusion of her years of fighting for peace is pretty sad, but sounds terribly true: The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing. His precious lifeblood drained out in a country far away from his family who loves him, killed by his own country… →

Homophobia in Russia
The minorities are always the first ones to suffer when a country is turning into a dictatorship. We know that bigots are stupid, but let this reminds us that the police is never going to be our friend : Eggs and punches at Russia gay march. « Where are the police? Why aren’t you protecting us? » Mr Cappato shouted as nationalists gathered nearby, prompting officers to take the MEP away and… →

Aucun regrets
J’aime bien quand M. fait des posts de plus de deux lignes, surtout pour bien nous raconter une belle histoire avec Marianne Faithfull en guest-star : No Regrets (Liverpool). →

French loving
Bill Maher has some nice (and funny) things to say about France, for instance that «they’re not a nation of 6-year-olds who scream and giggle if they see pee-pee parts». More seriously, he thinks that USA could steel some good ideas from French, like the healthcare system or sex during the day. Via Guillemette. →

Mon « NON » est personne
M. nous rappelle, que nous n’avons aucune raison de nous inquiéter : [Personne|http://mlemaudit.blogs.com/melismes/2007/04/dmentis.html|fr], et surtout pas S.a.r.k.o.z.y., notre candidat préféré à l’élection présidentielle, n’a exercé de pressions sur personne. →

AdBusters
How cool is that : IllegalSigns.ca is tracking Toronto’s outdoor advertising industry, fighting illegal billboards to reclaim the public space. According to the website, « half the billboards in Toronto are illegal ». [Via Insulaires]. →

Neon Bible
The Arcade Fire is really different from any other band I know. Look at this incredibly moving Take Away Show from la Blogothèque, shot in Paris, France. This is how music should always be. Via Kottke. →

Séro-criminel
Mon ami Coco, qui est un happy morning freak assumé m’a envoyé au réveil ce lien vers un article de Libération, Quand la contamination devient crime : «Plus de 36 pays en Europe ont modifié leur législation pour criminaliser la transmission du VIH à un partenaire.» Inquiétant et contre-productif pour les associations et l’Onusida. Ne manquez pas les commentaires nauséabonds des lecteurs, ainsi que l’article lié, Restrictions de circulation qui… →

Political Blogging
Still on [the famous linguistics blog|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Log|en] [Language Log|http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/|en], two interesting pieces about [French political blogs|http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/%7Emyl/languagelog/archives/004352.html|en] and more specificly [the differences between France and the US|http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004396.html#more|en]. Regarding that second piece, it’s funny to see how easy it is for American people, even for somebody like Mark Liberman, to underestimate the power of US culture over the world, and the weight of the English language. A lot of French people (and non-native… →

Bad Writing
I agree, »The Da Vinci Code » sucks : >We don’t need to know it’s a masterpiece (it’s a Caravaggio hanging in the Louvre, that should be enough in the way of credentials, for heaven’s sake). [The Dan Brown code|http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/%7Emyl/languagelog/archives/000844.html|en]. \[Via [Kottke|http://www.kottke.org/remainder/07/04/13212.html|en].\] I’m just happy somebody took the time to write this down (the article is from 2004, by the way). →
