Aujourd’hui, je vois des publicités pour Instagram où la plateforme prétend jouer un rôle dans la législation européenne sur l’accord parental pour les téléchargements sur l’App Store. Les potards de pompiers pyromanes sont à 11 chez Meta. 💻 × 🏛️
My tech blog is now located at https://mickf.net/tech/.
For the last 15 years or so, I used the hostname bootstragram.com, but I grew tired of the name. It brings back stressful memories that make me clench my teeth. I prefer to consolidate all my online presence under mickf.net from now on. I have completed the most part of the redirection tasks and will finalize the details in the coming weeks.

Finished watching White Lotus S3. The finale did not match the really high expectations we had from watching these reactions on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, but it was still pretty solid. I had a good share of laughs and of Schadenfreude satisfaction with this show.
Fun facts about the cast:
🍿
The producer of Bohemian Rhapsody, Roy Thomas Baker, has just passed away. Reading an article by the New York Times about the song:
Mr. Mercury, who died in 1991, always refused to explain his composition other than saying it was about relationships. (…) Mr. Baker said, with a hearty laugh, “If I tell you, I would have to kill you.”
Just this Monday, we listened to the song on our way home from a family trip, and I wondered what the lyrics meant. I wondered if the lyrics were appropriate for the kids and recalled that I had written an essay about the song when I was 12.
RIP Roy Thomas Baker.

Après avoir vu l’expo Léo, les coulisses d’un film d’animation au Clos Lucé, j’étais très impatient de voir le film le soir-même. Bien que la réalisation et la direction artistique soient impeccables, je n’ai pas été séduit par le scénario et l’histoire, alors que le matériel à disposition était abondant.
Quelques notes :
🍿
Finished watching Welcome to Wrexham S1. For some reason, it took me 15 months to watch all 18 episodes. While it has brilliant moments, those gems might be too infrequent to make me want to binge-watch. 🍿
Steve Kerr est devenu l’un de mes héros. Son soutien à Harvard et le choix des mots qu’il a utilisés pour l’exprimer reflètent un humaniste, porteur de valeurs auxquelles je m’identifie.
Et ce n’est pas la première fois qu’il fait preuve de classe : exhibit A, exhibit B.

The only aspect I enjoyed was the costume designs. The outfits are incredible, and you can see them all in the trailer. 🍿
This film is very unusual; it puts on screen the worst possible nightmares of anxious people in various settings. Although it is somewhat lengthy, uneven, and self-indulgent, it features brilliant and darkly humorous scenes that I will likely remember.
🍿TIL un des chants de supporters les plus chantés au stade Francis Le Blé lors des matchs du Stade Brestois 29 est adapté d’un classique du folklore américain : Oh My Darling, Clementine. 🎵 × ⚽️
Continuing my Penny Marshall saga, I finally watched Big, a classic that I had never seen before. It features a sweet story and a charming cast. I was delighted to see the iconic scene where Tom Hanks plays music on the foot keyboard; it is very well done and uplifting. I was also surprised by how much Elizabeth Perkins resembles Millie Bobby Brown. 🍿
Quand tu as rendez-vous à disons 11h15, mais qu’on te précise qu’il faut arriver 5 minutes avant, est-ce que ça ne veut pas dire que tu as rendez-vous à 11h10 ? 🧘♂️

Depuis quelques jours, j’ai recommencé à utiliser Swarm pour check-in dans des lieux de Rennes. Ça permet d’isoler et de contextualiser les food pics et ça me permettra de faire une carte de mes spots rennais d’ici quelques mois. (Merci à Aaron Parecki pour l’inspiration)

Le Failler.
This astonishing and heartwarming story, based on true events, highlights the importance of maintaining hope against all odds. It also explores what fair conditions are necessary for a proper life. The acting is remarkable, with Robert De Niro displaying incredible physical ability as he portrays a patient suffering from full-body spasms. The secondary characters also deliver impressive performances. I was particularly struck by the nurse, played by Julie Kavner, who was beginning her journey to fame as the voice of Marge Simpson at that time. Bonus points for the soundtrack featuring The Zombies' Time of the Season and Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze. And for featuring Kevin McCallister’s dad and The Ghostbusters' librarian.

Avec mon ami Joe Gantdelaine, nous faisons des compiles trimestrielles et on a un peu de backlog. Ce soir, nous sortons Un Été 2023 (sic). Allez l’écouter, elle est cool et a une jolie photo de Sinéad O’Connor en cover. 🎵

A fun family movie! While the plot offers no major surprises, it remains enjoyable and entertaining. I even noticed a wink to Zoolander's Mugatu (or maybe that's just my obsession with Will Ferrell speaking) and Home Alone 2 (pigeons with an arch in the background in Central Park), so bonus points for that! I'm a bit scared to rewatch it with my wife because she might say, “Mick is such a Mack” (I am). As for the kids, they might decide never to eat birds again. Note to self: I’ve never tried canard à l'orange; I should! 🍿
