Remember, after an event you don't have to post your photos of it on the same day or tomorrow, you can always do it in another day.

This is my day, your day, everyone's day. Food is a basic human right, not a privilege! Be grateful for whatever food we have and share food if we have more with those who are hungry. Good food, good future.

Choosing healthy diets, wasting less, and helping to protect the soil, water, and biodiversity that make food possible are small acts that we all can do. Speaking up for those facing hunger, like what I have been doing, is one of the ways too.

This theme is calling for global collaboration in creating a peaceful, sustainable, prosperous, and food-secure future. By working together, we all can transform agrifood systems to ensure that everyone has access to a healthy diet, living in harmony with our beloved planet, Earth.

The fine stems from 4chan's failure to provide a risk assessment detailing the potential harms of illegal content hosted on its forum.

4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act

4chan fine may test if US will intervene to block UK’s Online Safety Act.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Comme cette photo tourne beaucoup mais que personne ne prend la peine de donner le nom de la femme sur la droite : il s'agit de Kathryn Mullen, la marionnettiste de Kira sur Dark Crystal. Elle a aussi travaillé sur Yoda et sur des Muppets.

Ah, et de dos c'est Frank Oz et au milieu c'est Jim Henson.

C'est une photo de Franz Oz assis derrière sa caméra, en train de filmer les marionnettes de Jen et Kira pour son film Dark Crystal. Jim Henson et Kathryn Mullen sont assis sous les deux marionnettes et regardent un retour vidéo face à elleux. L'ensemble du dispositif est monté sur une plateforme en hauteur devant un décors de faux rochers.
