Ray Bradbury
“When I was a boy my grandfather died, and he was a sculptor. He was also a very kind man who had a lot of love to give the world, and he helped clean up the slum in our town; and he made toys for us and he did a million things in his lifetime; he was always busy with his hands. And when he died, I suddenly realized I wasn't crying for him at all, but for all the things he did. I cried because he would never do them again, he would never carve another piece of wood or help us raise doves and pigeons in the backyard or play the violin the way he did, or tell us jokes the way he did. He was part of us and when he died, all the actions stopped dead and there was no one to do them just the way he did. He was individual. He was an important man. I've never gotten over his death. Often I think what wonderful carvings never came to birth because he died. How many jokes are missing from the world, and how many homing pigeons untouched by his hands. He shaped the world. He DID things to the world. The world was bankrupted of ten million fine actions the night he passed on.”

Copper, Banana, and Mud
“And although a slight listener preference for the banana recordings emerged, it didn’t correlate with accuracy.”

The Dildo Distribution Delegation
The very first rubber dick to touch government-issued leather boots triggered a full-blown chemical weapons response. That is not metaphor. That is not exaggeration. That is a literal sentence that happened in America in 2026.

France Inter va en Province
Si seulement. Si seulement il avait utilisé sa tribune pour décrire réellement les conditions matérielles d’existence de celles et ceux pour qui ce trajet n’est pas un exercice de style. Si seulement la cible de sa chronique avait été le désengagement de l’État, les politiques néolibérales qui entravent concrètement la liberté de circuler, de travailler, de voir ses proches, de vivre, et pas cet Autre social, le beauf ou le bouseux. Malheureusement, pour la bourgeoisie séparatiste, parquée à Paris et dans les grandes villes, ceux-ci ne sont que des personnages folkloriques convoqués occasionnellement pour animer les dîners mondains ou les chroniques.
