“Ce que cette polémique autour du burkini révèle de l’état de la société française est terrifiant. Intransigeance et perversion de nos valeurs.

Vous rappelez le droit et vous êtes immédiatement collabo-islamique payé par les lobbies saoudiens. Vous vous opposez au burkini et vous êtes islamophobe et raciste.

“In addition to determining longevity, the scientists wanted to determine the age at which Greenland sharks begin to reproduce. Through analysis of sharks that did not exhibit the “bomb pulse” radiocarbon indicator, the team determined that the reproductive age of the sharks was at least 156 ± 22 years, based on other results that indicated females only start reproducing once they reach four meters in length.”

Trash Journalism at the Daily Shit.

Today, The Daily Beast took an unprecedented but necessary step: We are removing an article from our site, “The Other Olympic Sport In Rio: Swiping.”

The Daily Beast does not do this lightly. As shared in our editor’s note earlier today, we initially thought swift removal of any identifying characteristics and better clarification of our intent was the adequate way to address this. Our initial reaction was that the entire removal of the piece was not necessary. We were wrong. We’re sorry.

Today we did not uphold a deep set of The Daily Beast’s values. These values—which include standing up to bullies and bigots, and specifically being a proudly, steadfastly supportive voice for LGBT people all over the world—are core to our commitment to journalism and to our commitment to serving our readers.

As a newsroom, we succeed together and we fail together, and this was a failure on The Daily Beast as a whole, not a single individual. The article was not intended to do harm or degrade members of the LGBT community, but intent doesn’t matter, impact does. Our hope is that removing an article that is in conflict with both our values and what we aspire to as journalists will demonstrate how seriously we take our error.

We were wrong. We will do better.

Acheté au prix de l’acier en 1986, il est gréé en trois-mâts barque pour être utilisé comme navire-école. Ces travaux menés aux Pays-Bas dureront huit ans. Il est rebaptisé Europa en 1989. Sa coque d’acier fait 56 mètres (longueur hors-tout) et 7,45 mètres au maître-bau (IMO 8951932). Jolie barque.
