Après 25 minutes de réunion :

- is it ok if I explain that in French; <participant n°5> do you speak a little French ?
- ah oui, je parle tout à fait français
- mais... on aurait pu faire toute la réu en 🇫🇷 alors 😲

@ana @Arta Until they do understand and oops. #TrueStory

@_elena BTW, I was once invited to moderate a DNS panel at #FOSDEM composed of the greats of the Internet: @bagder , @bortzmeyer , and @bert_hubert

Main reasons for my agreeing to moderate was a) so that I could actually enter the otherwise FULL DNS dev room, and b) to ask Daniel for a curl sticker.

Anyway, I had a fun time, and guess what I returned home without?! #trueStory

Here's the recording of the event: I'm the fat chap holding the mic.

My neighbour totoro erm racoons #truestory

So 2023 we saw 3 like these in the backyard, they climbed up the tree to peek at our balcony.

2024, saw just one when i was walking my cat. S/he stayed away (for their own protection).

Didn’t see any trash pandas in 2025.

Today these 3 were in front of my door when I opened it. Here’s family filming and telling them to go back coz people with dogs climb up and down these stairs.

Watching Mrs. Playmen on Netflix. This show is the perfect kick I needed to get back into Italian—it's been almost 2 years, but this is way better than a textbook!

It’s the incredible true story of Adelina Tattilo in 1970s Roma. Her husband, a philanderer & spineless wonder, ghosted her after leaving the magazine drowning in debt. But Adelina? She stepped up and took charge. I adore this lady's strength and respect how she took responsibility.

She brilliantly reinvented Italy's scandalous Playmen. It wasn't just soft-core: she used it as a groundbreaking platform to push hard-core feminist ideas about divorce, abortion, and women’s rights in a deeply conservative country. What a boss move.

The fight was real: she even caused a global scandal by publishing nude paparazzi photos of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She was a defiant queen who refused to fail.

A must-watch if you love true stories about women who challenge the rules.

@mattblaze I got to hear that song every weekend on FM Radio. Why? Because it was long enough for the DJ to queue up, and drive from the station to get Fast Food and get back in time. #TrueStory

You know about hobo signs? The pictographs that itinerant workers would mark on trees or fences to inform each other about the reception they could expect from locals? (pre-internet yelp, if you will). Signs included “kind lady lives here” and “man with gun lives here”.

TIL that the “kind lady” sign was a stick-drawing of a cat. This got me thinking.

I scrobbled through the history buffer on my driveway camera. Just as i thought, here is my cat scratching a mark on the gatepost. Later, and again here and there are other cats inspecting the mark. No wonder so many lost kittens turn up on my son’s windowsill.

Je viens de balancer 20 secondes de silence à l'IA de reconnaissance vocale Whisper (le modèle 79 Mo fourni avec Futo Keyboard).

Elle me sort le texte "Thank you for watching."
