Pour sa 135e Dépêche, Livo se réveille avec 25° dans son appart alors qu'on est mi-mai. Ça réveille son éco-anxiété. Mais comment faire de l'humour avec le réchauffement ? Poète, Livo observe les nuages. Reporter, il rencontre un représentant du personnel de Météo France qui confirme que oui, la météo est politique. Hippie contrarié, il craque pour une aimable babos qui nous emmène au Népal. Avec aussi un max de blagues sur Elisabeth Borne.

Escape From Mammoth Pool

We like to think of time as a constant, as steady, unfluctuating, and infallible. But in some situations—like if you think you’re about to be overtaken by a raging wildfire—time can bend and flex. This week, Snap spotlights Escape From Mammoth Pool, a podcast about the harrowing rescue of 242 people and 16 dogs from one of the fastest-moving wildfires in California’s recorded history.

Produced out of KVPR in Fresno, California, by reporter/producer Kerry Klein. Edited by Alice Daniel, engineering and sound design by Kerry Klein, web support from Alex Burke, music by Kevin MacLeod (songs: Acid Trumpet, Beauty Flow, Half Mystery, Rising Tide, Unanswered Questions, Winter Reflections), and sound effects by FreeSound.

Kyle Bagenstose from USA Today gives us a look at how the US is moving forward on climate change.

The US is making a big down payment on climate change. Here's what needs to come next

The Jiajing Emperor rounds out the back-half of his interminably long reign by hiding away in his personal palace, and only occasionally coming out to tell everyone what a terrible job they're all doing. The Mongols seize on Ming weakness to basically do whatever they want, and the Ming respond by turtling even harder and building more walls. Without an imperial guiding hand, the ministers are left to their own devices... with predictably selfish and myopic results.



Time Period Covered:

1550-1567 CE



Major Historical Figures:

Ming Empire:

The Jiajing Emperor (Zhu Houcong) [r. 1521-1567]

Gen. Qiu Ruan [d. 1552]

Grand Secretary Xia Yan [1482-1548]

Grand Secretary Yan Song [1480-1567]

Grand Secretary Xu Jie [1512-1578]



Mongolia:

Altan Khan [1507-1582]

Prince Toghto

Century City

L'humour est partout, l'humour fait vendre, pourtant le rire au lit passe souvent pour une mauvaise nouvelle. Nous sommes sérieux comme des papes. Nous avons la trouille que ce rire soit un jugement. Nous nous demandons si l'expression "femme qui rit, à moitié dans ton lit" ne recouvre pas un énorme malentendu : et si cette femme qui rit, au lieu d'entrer dans notre lit... était occupée à en sortir ?
