Il avait un talent fou, un charisme exceptionnel, il utilisait sa trompette comme une voix, et sa voix, comme une trompette. Mais savez-vous pourquoi, pendant toute sa vie, Louis #Armstrong a porté une étoile de David autour du cou ?

Le moins qu'on puisse dire sur l'enfance de Louis Armstrong, c'est que ce n'était pas "La vie en rose". Né le 4 août 1901 d'une mère âgée de 16 ans, abandonné par son père dès sa naissance, il a grandit dans une extrême pauvreté, sa mère en arrivant même à se prostituer...⬇️
Élevé par sa grand-mère jusqu'à ses 6 ans, dans un quartier connu sous le nom de "Battlefield" (champ de bataille..) de la Nouvelle Orléans ségrégationniste de l'époque, il va y rencontrer une famille juive qui va tout changer : les #Karnoffskys❤️✡️

Uninstalled and reinstalled @ProgrammingHero again, did the exam for #Cpp course, and it still crashed at the end.

It could be my phone. I'll have to try installing it on another device. Still a bummer

Also resinstalled the very different app, @Prghub, which has much shorter courses and as a result felt deceptive about how much you were learning. I haven't uses it in over a year for sure. They have a bunch of new courses. I'll try some-I don't know if I'll keep at it w this app
#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofWriting #Day23-#Day27, need to keep track of how much I write and where. I kind of write a lot, but not always towards the goals I want to write toward. So I'm writing this tweet to stand in for missing those days' record while noting that I do write
La prima cosa da dire è che la stangata data alla #Juventus con i 15 punti di penalizzazione è niente rispetto alla stangata che la Juventus ha dato al calcio italiano, che dal 2010 ad oggi è stato avvelenato e falsato dai comportamenti sleali del club in ogni campo (1. segue)
L’ho scritto e lo ribadisco: i 9 scudetti consecutivi vinti dalla Juve dal 2012 al 2020 sono spazzatura. Sono stati conquistati nei modi che ora abbiamo scoperto, bilanci truccati, inganni di ogni tipo e club amici disposti a tutto pur di favorire il club di #Agnelli (2. segue)
E insomma, so che non accadrà ma il mondo dello sport dovrebbe fare come fecero al Tour de France davanti alla truffa continuata di Lance #Armstrong: cancellare i 9 titoli e lasciare un lungo buco nero. E se si decidesse di premiare i secondi, tanto meglio per lo sport (3. segue)

On this day, 155 years ago, the first #stockticker was unveiled. Here's a 🧵on the stock ticker, the device, invented by #EdwardACalahan, that helps stock markets to function efficiently.

Back in the day, brokers would get to know price movements through pageboys who would run to and fro between the #stockexchange and the offices of brokers. 2/n
Enter Calahan. A school dropout, he was employed as a telegraph operator with #WesternUnion and had a lot of tech-savvy. 3/n
#DeGea is one of the best GKs in the #PremierLeague when dealing with long range 1v1s & the save vs #Armstrong was great!
He knew AA was ~15yrd out so it would take a top finish to beat him so he didn’t need to rush out or gamble as that would only make AA’s finish easier

It may look like a simple save in the end but that’s all down to #DeGea’s excellent decision making which massively reduces the chance quality
The composure DDG showed to stay deep to his line & not over commit early isn’t common, even in the #PremierLeague
Such top goalkeeping

Here are my views on #Armstrong & other statues & the #BlackLivesMatter movement. chroniclelive.co.uk/news/news-opin…
Following yesterday's violence it is important to say that no #Newcastle statues are targeted by anti racist protesters, who seek to eliminate racism not stone statues. But yday our police were targeted by anti anti-racism protesters in scenes which would disgrace any movement
Newcastle has always fought for social justice & been on the right side of history on so many great issues from Trade Unionism, to the Great Reform Bill, the Suffragettes, Civil Rights in US & South Africa to the Miners Strike. Surely we can be on the right side in this debate!
Moi qui croyais que Lance Armstrong s'était distingué à la loyale dans ses jeunes années (1992-1998) contre des coureurs aussi propres qu'Ugrumov, Berzin, Chiappucci, Riis, Ullrich, tous les Festina et j'en passe...Non je suis vraiment très surpris et déçu🤣. #foutagedegueule

#LastRT Et plutôt que de (re)parler de #LanceArmstrong, serial tricheur, on pourrait pas évoquer ces champions fantastiques qui se sont fait enfler un palmarès pendant toutes ces années EPO (1991-2005): le fantastique A.Hampsten, tout aussi US, Gilles Delion, David Moncoutié...
#LastRT <Fin> Travers de notre société d'info continue illustré par #Armstrong (et d'autres): le type gruge, triche, ment, acquiert ainsi 1 surface médiatique importante indue. Et il la conserve pour mettre en scène ses aveux/pardons/rédemptions. Au lieu d'en être déchu. Etrange.
