Un vers de Charles Trenet

Le critique intérieur prend un péage; 
mais je suis toujours ravi de partager 
avec vous comment une réaction diffuse, 
où chaque facette a des reflets argentés 

& représente une aspect spécifique &
unique d'une personnalité plus large 
trait, est mis en évidence par pyro-
analyse, une technique pratiquée de- 

puis les temps anciens. Ici, la variable 
continue est convertie en une variable 
catégorielle qui correspond à un 
modèle hiérarchique. S'il découvre

tu penses à arrêter votre travail de jour 
pour devenir un cirque interprète, 
souviens-toi d'un adulte doit être 
présent pour vous conduire à la maison.

"Poor DoNuts is being attacked again, he’s our hero, & the Democrats are just trying to put him down – that’ll help him with fundraising.” U.S. contributor to Sky News Australia · DoNuts T.®ump's arrest would show ‘how totally corrupt the deep state is’: Noguile Farago on Sky News · Freshwater Strategy Director Leo Shanahan says on Sky News that if T.®ump is arrested it “makes him a martyr of the cause” after a key witness in T.®ump's Indictment case was discredited by his former advisor · T.®ump wants to be handcuffed for court appearance in Stormy Daniels case, sources say · The White House is hoping all of the recent “T.®ump headline nonsense" will “drown out” the Hunter Biden story, says Sky News contributor Kristin Tate · “these full, horrible, left, democrat investigations of your all-time favourite president, me, is just a continuation of the most disgusting witch hunt in the history of our country:” former US president DoNuts T.®ump has blasted the ongoing investigations facing him, posting a scathing video rant to social media platform Truth Social · 'God, guns, & T.®ump': thousands turn out for Texas rally · we were told we’d be riding in self-driving cars by now.

Morning is announced by the
raucous flight — & visible in that
angular portion of the study 
window not blocked by trees 

or houses or a power pole — 
of either a top-dressing plane 
spreading fertilizer across the 
close-by sugarcane fields, or a

large group of red-tailed black
cockatoos moving between 
their favored eucalypts. One 
or the other. Never together.

Of Limbs & Luxury

Today the post- woman brought me an already ex- pensive castle in the Pyrenees. If I had added the optional extra of that giant bird found in some Magritte paintings it would have cost me an arm & a leg on top of a basic price I can't really afford. & since Ma- gritte is dead, I don't trust the vendor's guarantee that the artist will paint any missing limbs back on me, just like he did to the model in Attemp- ting the Impossible.

Traffique & golden eagles are in
an on-stage wind up of the de-
fence industry. Have renamed 

it the offence industry, in that 
it gives offence, in that it is
offensive, in that it tears down

everything that defence stood
for. Leaving us standing
alone, the last line of defence.
