J'ai pensé que vous trouveriez cette chronique intéressante. Écrite par Chantal Guy suite à son entrevue avec Laurent Gaudé pour son dernier ouvrage, certains chroniqueurs de mauvaise foi (pour ne pas utiliser d'autres termes plus péjoratifs) lui ont reproché un grave pêché par omission.

Madame Guy chronique la littérature depuis des décénies. Si vous ne la connaissez pas je vous invite à découvrir ses "vrais" articles et entrevues!

Ce qui me fascine chez un chroniqueur comme Richard Martineau, qui a de nombreuses tribunes pour dire qu’on ne peut plus rien dire, qui se voit comme un pourfendeur d’une élite à laquelle pourtant il appartient, qui qualifie de petits lapins ceux qui ne sont pas d’accord avec lui, est que c’est peut-être le plus braillard d’entre tous, capable de rouler pendant 24 heures sur le fait que je n’ai pas mis le mot « islamiste » dans une chronique.

C’est qui le petit lapin, au juste ?

Mais ce qui fait le plus mal à mon cœur de littéraire, plus qu’à mon ego, c’est lorsqu’on sort comme d’une boîte de Cracker Jack des citations d’écrivains que j’admire – cette fois-ci Camus – réduites à des slogans creux, très loin de leur pensée profonde, pour soutenir une réflexion anémique. Voilà selon moi ce qui ajoute encore plus au malheur du monde, qui lit de moins en moins.

I live in Canada. I never cease to be flabbergasted by laws in the US. It's like living next to a time warp.

I wonder if it's a mobile thing because I have the same issue on my tablet (which I completely gave up using for Walmart) but never on my PC.

Ran across the same problem recently. Ended up using Bing, of all things lol

I agree, it's a tiny step in the right direction, but definitely too little too late.

Tangentially related but I rewatched Face/Off last night and realised he has a very short role, extremely foreshadowing.

Weirdly I love honeydew as a flavor (like bubble tea) but prefer cantaloupe as a fruit (cantaloupe flavored things just sounds wrong).

What? I had no idea... I think this may be what will send me over the edge.

It's different here (at Walmart at least), they leave all their reusable bags at the self checkout where you can just buy them. But there is a lot of staff and the area is like a bullpen, so there is only one exit and there are employees looking at the carts' contents.

As for the bags, for sure it's a contentious topic. And I agree with you. As I mentioned in another reply, I see a lot of the sturdier reusable bags for sale at thrift store, they have to roll them up and put them in a bin they have so many...

[-] swan_pr@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, and also for the compost. I used to store a few as well but they are so thin now, it's not worth it.

[-] swan_pr@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

I agree. I have a drawer full and a bunch in my car. I see a lot of them for sale for a buck at thrift stores, it's kind of funny and sad.

Where I live (Montréal, Canada) plastic bags are banned everywhere. You either bring your own or buy a reusable at the cash. Some places (like grocery stores) also sell paper bags. You get used to it. If you have a car you leave a bunch of reusables in the trunk, if you don't you just have to remember to bring one with you. The also sell some super thin ones you can carry in your pockets that are sturdy and large enough for a small run at the grocery store.

Looks great, but I liked the first one better.
