@nes_kio Le sommet politique c'était il y a déjà quelques années :

je suis navré pour tous ceux qui éprouvent encore le moindre enthousiasme pour la politique ou qui s’y intéressent sans ironie

@Neryssette huffingtonpost.fr/economie/artic…

@Neryssette ça me rappelle l'entretien qu'avait donné le patron de Veolia il y a quelques années pour " défendre le travail manuel ". Le journaliste lui avait demandé " Alors vos enfants, ils font quoi ? ". " Bah ils ont réussi à l'école alors ils sont pas dedans ".

Le patronat sortant toutes les excuses du monde en faveur de l'immigration de travail au lieu d'augmenter les salaires

When $AMD shareholders understood Dr. Su secured at least 30-40% TSMC 2nm allocation

I'm bullish on $AMD, very bullish.

@Neryssette Oui, j'aime bien la manière dont Renaud Camus parle des étrangers.

- L'Etranger de Camus c'est vraiment un chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature française - Je préfère Fyoooor Bostoevsky, George Elioet ou the Magic moutain moutain chez les étrangers

It's our 40th anniversary this month! Slime flies when you're having fun 💙

@ThePreacher313 We do not need Reform. We need to Restore Britain.

On se plain tout le temps du RN et on a souvent raison mais un tweet comparable de Reform et d’autres partis de droite occidental contiendrait un baiser entre gays et/ou 35% d’allogènes.

Daily reminder that this man was in the Epstein files explicitly for not being corruptable.
