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 !
"Le dico de l'humour Juif - de Abraham à Yiddish"
Victor Malka. (producteur à France Culture de l'émission Maison d'études qui a succédé à Écoute d'Israël...directeur de la revue Information juive)
Another excellent article from Nesrine Malik who writes:
".protest becomes necessary precisely because authorities have not been responsive. And it is defined by asymmetry of power and access to political tools. Politicians have executive power, and protesters have one thing: their voices"
The last time Macklemore was really culturally relevant it was for songs like 2013’s “Thrift Shop.” Times have certainly changed. Last week, the rapper dropped “Hind’s Hall,” a blistering protest anthem that takes aim at Israel’s assault on Gaza and comes as student protests have spread around the world. Will “Hind’s Hall” usher in a new era of musical political activism? Vox has more, including why Macklemore’s political shift isn’t as surprising as you might think. https://flip.it/nwByYp #Culture#Entertainment#Music#Gaza#Israel#Macklemore
This may come as a surprise to some, but it’s illegal to get drunk in an English pub. A law from 1872, leftover from the temperance movement, still stands today. But what exactly was it trying to achieve? Food and Wine tells more: https://flip.it/rKY4Nc #Culture#UK#Drinking#Alcohol#Pubs#Bars
“The tech platforms aren’t like the Medici in Florence, or those other rich patrons of the arts. They don’t want to find the next Michelangelo or Mozart. They want to create a world of junkies—because they will be the dealers.”
Switzerland's Nemo wins the 68th Eurovision Song Contest with “The Code,” an ode to the singer’s journey toward embracing their nongender identity.

Linda Martell appeared on two spoken-word segments on Beyoncé’s latest album, “Cowboy Carter.” Martell, a country singer, made history as the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. Five years later, the pioneering singer was out of country music. Billboard has more on Martell’s early career, such as her breakthrough single, “Color Him Father” that peaked at No. 22, and the wider audience that is finally hearing about her now. https://flip.it/YNsHGI #Culture#Entertainment#Music#Beyonce
Casa Memoria Felicia e Peppino Impastato a Cinisi è la Casa-Museo dedicata alla memoria di Peppino Impastato e di sua madre Felicia.
Peppino, attivista che ha lottato contro mafia, corruzione e oppressione, per la giustizia sociale, e il 9 maggio del 1978 fu ucciso per volontà del boss Gaetano Badalamenti.
Mamma Felicia ha rotto il muro del silenzio per raccontare la storia di Peppino e per denunciare gli assassini mafiosi del figlio, è stata la prima donna che si è ribellata alla cultura dell’omertà.
Ha aperto le porte della sua casa per raccontare la storia di Peppino e per far conoscere gli aspetti più corrotti della nostra società e dell’apparato istituzionale.
Felicia, definita “partigiana dell’antimafia” e “donna di democrazia” è scomparsa il 7 dicembre del 2004 dopo un lungo percorso per ottenere giustizia per Peppino.
La condanna di Gaetano Badalamenti, boss di Cinisi e bersaglio delle continue denunce e dell’impegno politico di Peppino, è arrivata solo nel 2002, 24 anni dopo l’assassinio.
Nel 2012 Casa Memoria Impastato viene riconosciuta come bene culturale, sono migliaia le persone che hanno varcato e continuano a varcare la soglia di questa porta ormai simbolica alla ricerca di nuove conoscenze, di informazioni non distorte e di un momento di riflessione e tutte si sono riappropriate di un piccolo pezzo di libertà.

Do any of you do video editing ... perhaps for a podcast or maybe personal home videos? If so, what is the best, most easily used video editing software out there?
I don't need all the bells & whistles, but will need features like splicing video segments (from diff't sources) together, some nice (not over the top) transitions, ease of use, & good quality end results.
Both Miss USA, Noelia Voigt, and Miss Teen USA, UmaSofia Srivastava, have relinquished their titles this week. Voigt described in a leaked letter a "toxic work environment" within the Miss USA Organization, and Srivastava said her personal values "no longer fully align with the direction of the organization.” Fans soon observed that the capital letters of the first 11 sentences in Voigt's social media post spell out "I am silenced." Vox dives into what the heck is going on, including a look at the pageant's unedifying history. What's your opinion on beauty pageants?

In 2022, there were just 42,000 nuns in America and the majority were elderly. For The Baffler, Lauren Fadiman spent some time with Benedictine sisters and explored the history and decline of religious life. "There was a time when the convent was the closest a woman could get to both the Lord and women’s lib," she writes. "The vow of chastity lifted the burdens of early marriage, bad sex, and potentially lethal childbirth; the habit released women from the obligations of beauty; and the requisite knowledge of Latin and a wide range of religious texts required that nuns be well-educated."
