Cette carte est gravissime. Mais elle n'a pas fait la une de l'actualité. Pour moi, l'été 2026 marque un tournant. Après celui de 2022, il devient difficile de ne plus parler de "rupture écologique" ou de "point de non retour" pour une partie des milieux aquatiques français. 1/18

The rise in Niño 3.4 region sea surface temperatures over the past few weeks has been nothing short of astonishing. We are now hotter than any days during the 1997/1998 super El Niño event, and we are still many months from the peak.

🪙THE GOLDEN PAVILION🔥 True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys. -Mishima Yukio (三島由紀夫). In 1950, almost bald of gold, and having survived the Ōnin War, Kinkaku-ji was burnt to the ground by Hayashi Yōken, one of its own novice monks.

Sometimes I feel like blocking all my fake followers (you know which ones, the ones who follow dozens if not hundred of thousands of people hoping for some follow back because they think they're on Twitter) but that'd be too much work. They're probably two thirds of my followers.

The new Spider-man was good. Really good. I mean, I love the first three Tom Holland movies, but I always thought that MCU Spider-man was a bit too different from comic book Spider-man (Raimi's Spider-man is much closer). (1/2) #movies #Spiderman #MCU
