🎷Samedi, la fête de la musique battait son plein !
Pour l'occasion, voici l'une des 26 000 cartes postales conservées aux archives et disponible en ligne sur le site. On y voit un homme jouant du serpent, cet instrument de musique dont le long boyau sinueux rappelle le corps du reptile. Souvent fabriqué en bois et recouvert de bandes de cuir, cet instrument à vent fait pourtant partie de la famille des cuivres. En effet, comme les joueurs de cuivre, les musiciens font vibrer leurs lèvres dans l'embouchure.

Trump hails 'bullseye' strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as UN says damage is unclear
Iran threatens 'decisive response' after Trump says US 'obliterated' nuclear sites - live updates
Iran's military say the US has previously "received a decisive response" for its "crimes", and "this time it will be the same".BBC News
V BBC's Frank Gardner:
if Iran has managed to preserve enough of its highly enriched uranium then it could be able to test a first-generation device using a neutron initiator.
It has long been assumed that if Iran acquires the bomb then Saudi will also try to acquire it, triggering a nuclear arms race.
L'immagine è una fotografia in bianco e nero che sembra risalire al 1900, con la scritta "PARIS NOUVEAU" in basso. Mostra una carrozza trainata da un cavallo, con un uomo seduto al suo interno, che indossa un cappello e un abito lungo. Accanto alla carrozza, un uomo a terra sembra aver avuto un incidente con una bicicletta. La scritta in alto dice "I CICLISTI" e in basso "STANNO SULLE PAE AI GUIDATORI GIA' DAL 1900" con un emoji sorridente. L'immagine è un meme che scherza sulla longevità del problema dei ciclisti che ostacolano i guidatori, un problema che sembra essere stato presente fin dal 1900.

Why Israel Should be Dispossessed of Its Nuclear Arsenal
counterpunch.org/2025/06/23/wh…
"All the old tropes have been resurrected to entice us into another military fiasco. A country that poses no threat to us, or to its neighbors, is on the verge of acquiring a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) that imperils our existence. The country and its leaders embody pure evil. Freedom and democracy are at More

The mighty Vera Rubin Observatory is online!
It will map the night sky repeatedly, over and over again, for a decade, identifying (nearly) everything that move and change in brightness. We are also getting images on large-scale objects, such as the Virgo #galaxy cluster.

in reply to Spartacus • • •@Spartacus Here is the thing that nobody is talking about. The amount of U-235 enrichment required for peaceful light water reactors is 3-5%, the amount required for weapons is 90%, Iran had enriched Uranium-235 to 60%, not enough for weapons in the next couple of weeks as Israel has alleged but clearly their goals their aren't peaceful.
Iran has sponsored terrorist organizations throughout the region, they've repeatedly referred to the USA as The Great Satan, and they've chanted Death to America, therefore as risky as this was, I see the reasoning behind it BUT it would have made more sense to allow the upcoming set of negotiations to happen and IF and ONLY IF those failed, proceed with this action.
I won't pretend not to understand their hatred for Israel, given Israels shooting six year old kids for standing in line for food, bombed hospitals, schools, etc, and frankly I feel the same way, and I understand that they don't like us for former CIA regime chan

I won't pretend not to understand their hatred for Israel, given Israels shooting six year old kids for standing in line for food, bombed hospitals, schools, etc, and frankly I feel the same way, and I understand that they don't like us for former CIA regime change operations. And I disagree with those actions, I believe Iran was much better off before the CIA intervened and so was the rest fo the world.
None the less, given that hatred, and the potential for our destruction if we do not act, we are rather backed into a corner. But again to me this would have been appropriate IF negotiations had failed. At 60% they were not close enough for this to be something that couldn't have been delayed that long.

I see that the brainwashing of the CIA and its mouthpieces in the media has affected you as well.
