I might develop this soon but here were my favorite discoveries from this year’s La Route du Rock:
And la chenille
🎵
Just turned off all badges from the apps of my iPhone home screen. Feeling better already. 🖥️
When I had to choose between Notion and Craft, I picked Craft mostly for its offline capabilities. I have been questioning my choice ever since, especially after Notion introduced databases. I felt confident it was time to switch but Craft just announced objects. I wonder if that will be enough to close the gap. Craft probation extended. 🖥️
Je retombe sur cette belle lettre d’amour aux Acid House Kings écrite par mon compère Joe Gantdelaine sur notre site Dead Rooster. Contrairement à ce que son nom indique, le groupe fait de la pop très douce. 🎵
I have been using Base to handle SQLite databases on macOS for as long as I can remember. Today it failed me for the 1st time in a long time. It has not been updated in 4 years, which is not a problem per se but shows that my issue won’t be fixed anytime soon. So I am on the market for a new SQLite app of choice.
Trying Ducklet and Beekeeper Studio. 💻
Browsing Maripedia, that I stumbled upon via kottke.org, I created this colour palette that could be really cool for the next redesign of Statium.
On the UK willing to be a clean energy superpower
It takes courage for governments to advance their climate change agenda because it impacts people both economically—likely destroying some jobs in the short term—and personally, as changing habits is a difficult process.
In a slightly longer term, by 2050, for example, failing to make progress will hurt people significantly more.
It is reassuring that in the UK, climate change is a concern across a large section of the political spectrum. It is not surprising that parties genuinely caring for most people have bolder objectives.
It is also not surprising that far-right leaders do not care. They prioritize power over people. The only traits I can think of that would lead someone to deny the need for climate action are selfishness, cowardice and ignorance. Not the best traits.

A beer I got for finishing la Cap’Iroise back in May. Seaweed flavored. I really disliked it. And now I feel somewhat annoyed by the habit of forcing regional cultural heritage everywhere for no good reason. 🍻
Hier, pendant Espagne - Angleterre, ces piètres jeux de mots me sont venus en tête. Enjoy. Ou pas.
- Une mauvaise passe de Bukayo, Cantona appelle ça une Henri Michel… Parce que Saka merde.
- Le côté droit de la Roja a une angine parce qu’elle Yamal Carjaval.
- Pourquoi Gérard nous empêche de rentrer ? Parce que Le Normand joue trop près de Laporte.

This interview with Lori Gottlieb by Jon Stewart helps me realize my political anxiety is normal and that I should try to make it productive. But what can I do?
- Get involved in a campaign? Writing my thoughts is as far as I can go. Whenever I tried joining a political group, its internal politics and strategics were repulsive to me.
- Volunteer? I just found a program to help kids with homework, via jeveuxaider.gouv.fr that I didn’t know about.
- Vote? ✅
- Encourage people around you to vote? ✅
It still feels like not enough.
Also, Jon is hilarious:
My anxiety has never saved me from bears, but it often convinces me I’m not lovable.

J’ai mis noir sur blanc le raisonnement qui va me faire voter pour le Nouveau Front Populaire aux prochaine élections législatives. 🏛️
Excellent beer. Thick, spicy and strong. Loved it. 🍻
