Enjoy the whole video that was released on youtube on Sept. 9, 2019.
Time flies but those 6 years have been for the best.
Except for Julian Assange who is in Belmarsh Prison (U.K.)

I'm glad Edward Snowden is able to move more or less freely in Russia. 

Incredible video - explainig scale - from earth to space to human body

Back to school

You've probably heard of Greta Thunberg.
You weren't born when Severn Cullis-Suzuki took a stand in the Rio Summit. 
It took place in 1992. 
And the first international conference on the Human environment also called 'The Earth summit' (Now COP 21, COP 24... Conference Of Parties they call it these days) first took place in 1972 in Sweden.  I was 11 then... 47 years ago!

Severn Cullis-Suzuki is the girl at the beginning of this video that was posted on Vimeo two years ago. You were born then!

Truth about reality TV

I sure knew Reality shows had to be immoral, very wrong and the like...

I've just watched this video and since it is well subtitled, I thought I'd post it here.

I've not had TV for 40 years. Time flies. The strange skylights never appealed to me.

( The famous French Satirical weekly newspaper has, as long as I can remember, called them: "Les étranges lucarnes")

Ok, ok, I'm a screen addict too, I know, I know. Often wonder what would happen in case of a major blackout or if our governments used the kill switch. Do you? (wonder?!)

So the video below has already obtained 3.293.785 views!

Take good care all.
