On va tenter un truc un peu fou avec @ty.games : On va devenir un éditeur et distributeur de jeux indés 100% ouvert et coopératif. Alors pour une fois, je fais un thread 😁

(1/3) Le 15 février, “Le Figaro“ a publié un article de sa collaboratrice Marie de Montalembert sobrement tiré: «“Ep-chtajn“ ou “Ep-stiin“: comment bien prononcer le nom de Jeffrey Epstein.» Dont on avait fort heureusement fait des captures. Il contenait notamment ces instructives considérations:
