#K-pop : la a la cote

Les de la du Sud jouissent d'une popularité qui ne faiblit pas, que ce soit à la télé, au cinéma ou encore dans le monde de la musique. Au contraire, l'industrie sud-coréenne est désormais l'une des plus puissantes de la planète.

Traveling is a transformative experience that broadens your horizons, exposes you to new cultures, and creates lasting memories. But the most tough part is packing luggage, as it is a very arduous job.

Meanwhile in Ghana, as proof that repatriation has finally really got under way, an exhibition opens of Asante artefacts stolen by the British.

While, there's massive institutional resistance to repatriation, we should celebrate when it does happen as part of the need to shame those who continue to justify (or try to obscure) historical acts of looting perpetrated by the British.

Given the world situation it my be a small thing, but it remains important

In 1995, Nintendo released its Virtual Boy, touted as the first console that could display stereoscopic 3D graphics. By the following year, it was all over, with the Virtual Boy dismissed as a commercial failure. Here's an extract from @arstechnica reporter/tech historian @benjedwards and Dr. Jose Zagal's new book, "Seeing Red: Nintendo's Virtual Boy," covering the development and demise of the console, and the philosophy of Gunpei Yokoi, the designer behind it.

Microbial art — the process of creating living paintings with bacteria — has been around for nearly 100 years. It was first created by Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin in 1928 and was also an amateur artist. Atlas Obscura looks at this blend of art and science, some of the skilled folks who make it, and the potential health risks if it's not done carefully.

In honor of David Sanborn . . .

This entire Davis episode is incredible, but you can skip ahead to 14:25 for Djavan for something that’s just stupid awesome that includes a ridiculous percussion solo by Don Alias. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yes, this was on television.

This guy was great.

Really, really great.

Episodes of the show he hosted from 1988-1990, Sunday Night (later named Michelob Presents Night Music), are available on YouTube. I highly suggest checking those out, along with his vast discography.

“It's time for the people to conduct what I want to call a ‘digital guillotine,’ a ‘digittine’ If you will,'” TikTok creator Rae said on Thursday, who posts under the handle ladyfromtheoutside. “It's time to block all the celebrities, influencers and wealthy socialites who are not using their resources to help those in dire need.”

On a fêté il y a quelques jours l'anniversaire de la naissance d'Haroun Tazieff.
Je n'avais pas eu le temps de la poster mais la voici...
Notez qu'un militaire, qui a a été un véritable salopard avec son épouse, un tyran avec ses équipes... ose dire à Tazieff que ce qu'il dit est du "baratin"...
Je te laisse découvrir de quel militaire il s'agit, indice : Bonnet rouge.

Ho bha ça alors !
Soit il y a des juifs qui font des blagues antisémites sur la circoncision.
Soit les blagues sur la circoncision ne sont pas forcément antisémites !
