#ChristopheGaltier, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is at the centre of the #controversy after the team were criticised for using a jet to take a short #flight to a #game in #Nantes over the weekend.

“Paris-Nantes is less than two hours by #TGV (high speed train). I re-re-renew my proposal of a TGV offer adapted to your specifications, for our common interest: security, speed, services and eco-mobility,” Krakovitch wrote.

San Juan Summit ~ 8 Prominent Doctors and Scientists Engage in a Remarkable Exchange
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IeVy7jQoz0
'Panel of #doctors and #scientists convene in a remarkable #open #forum about #effective #early #treatment and evaluate the current #one-size-fits-all approach to #Covid #treatment. While the conversation was far-ranging, it often hit on controversial topics around the #causes, #prevention #strategies, and #treatments for Covid. The #goal of the #panel was to be a first step toward having more #in-depth and #open #conversations around the #pandemic. While some of the #conversation veered into the #controversy around #vaccinations, many of the doctors strongly emphasized they do not oppose #vaccines.'

Celebrities posing #naked while #pregnant began as a fiercely defiant and provocative stunt. #Demi_Moore’s 1991 Vanity Fair cover—an undeniably confident woman fully #nude, cradling her pregnant belly—was #progressive in its mere existence: the overt #sexualization and #celebration of a #bodyImage that the #American public had, generally, been taught not to think of as #sexy.
It was a transgressive moment in its #controversy (in 1991, many more #conservative people were none-too-pleased to see a nude pregnant #woman staring at them from the shelves of the grocery store cashier aisle), but also in how it paved the way for the image to eventually become #uncontroversial almost entirely; to be #normalized.
(Go figure something as #natural as a pregnant woman’s body needs to be normalized. #Humans are awful.)
In the decades since Moore’s cover, the nude pregnant #photo has almost become a rudimentary rite of passage for celebrities, especially those whose careers were built on—and at times #exploited—their sexuality. #Christina_Aguilera, #Jessica_Simpson, #Britney_Spears, #Nia_Long, #Cindy_Crawford, #Claudia_Schiffer, #Mariah_Carey, #Monica_Bellucci: the nude photo shoot evolved from #progressive act of #rebellion to an #essential part of the Pregnant Celebrity Publicity Tour. As essential, even, as the “Check Out My Post-Baby Bod!” photo shoot that would typically follow.
It’s easy—and at this point #lazy and #unoriginal—to #attack any news Kardashian makes as a #shameless ploy for more press. The fact of the matter is that Kardashian has built a #career as an expert #manipulator of a #realityTV genre that’s mandated that #media take its stars #seriously, because the many #fans of these shows already do.
She’s an aficionado of #branding, a polarizing #fashion maven, and, after years in the public eye, a bona fide #cultural #influencer.
As such, Kardashian’s treatment of her #celebrity spotlight has #matured along with our #perception of her #influence. She’s no longer the #girl made famous by the #sexTape, but a #person with a #platform who is given a megaphone to speak about #feminism, #sexism, #sexualizing, and, god help us, real things.
There’s something sort of #admirable about this #evolution.
