"So the next time you find yourself asking why you're being inundated with AI wherever you go, remember that the answer is that someone with millions of dollars to spare paid for it on the off chance that it will yield a nice return."

"Des lobbyistes « proches de Trump » facturent 1 million de dollars, voire plus, pour obtenir des grâces présidentielles pour leurs clients, certains payant jusqu'Š 6 millions de dollars.
Le Wall Street Journal décrit un processus simple : vous leur donnez l'argent, ils parlent Š quelqu'un de l'entourage proche de Trump, comme son fils, puis Trump vous accorde sa grâce."

“on a besoin d’un candidat qui dise au Conseil d’Etat qu’il fait fausse route. C’est un mensonge de répéter qu’on peut baisser les impôts tout en maintenant les prestations. Et Christelle Luisier se trompe en disant que le canton n’a pas de problème de recettes: on a besoin d’une réponse quant aux millions perdus du bouclier fiscal et on a besoin d’un système de solidarité financière”

Just a hut under a tree in the mist ...
I saw this when I was walking back from a location scouting. When I was back at the car, I turned around - already ready to drive away when I noticed this gnarly tree in the field.
The fog was just light enough to create an interesting mood I think.

Apropos of a gas station exploding in my neighborhood: Fossil fuel infrastructure is an ecological disaster every day, especially when there isn't an accident, when everything is "working" "safely."

"…official White House reaction…was 'Who cares?' But guess what? They clearly cared, a lot. You could see that…with the increasingly insane rhetoric and warnings about 'antifa' — a tiny, unorganized sliver of young rock-throwing radicals who were nowhere in sight Saturday — that aimed to neutralize the reality that millions of everyday Americans are sick of seeing a masked secret police snatch people off the streets."
