Just got my car back from the car repair shop. When I had paid my bill, 2 gendarmes came in in full regalia.They had blocked my car by parking in the second row for paying their debts to the repair shop owner.I said, ‘Oh, go ahead and pay your debts first, I have time. I won't call the gendarmerie.’ Everyone laughed, including the gendarmes.Next street: gendarmerie - buying baguette. Another street: gendarmerie at the butcher's.Rural life in France, going to town. Gendarmerie-rush hour. 😂

🧵 4. Does every article begins with the famous AI summary and then turns in LLM blubber circles, often about a topic that's only for SEO?(Real journalists write lead sentences and logical texts.)5. You can also check the headlines if you find biased fake-news.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 4I think that nature is a better artist than me. Perhaps therefore, my jacket and trouser pockets are always full after a walk in the woods. And then I put the stuff on the table and talk to it, or it talks to me. After all that chatting, I have a new collage. 😉 #nature #collage #intuitiveEmbroidery #mixedmedia #embroidery #forest #bark #acorn #storytelling #NatureMatchCuts #artist #AtelierTetebrec

@StriderLongshanks It's much much more complicated and has nothing to do with a "defense against English".It's also a question of history (Alsace changed nationalities different times) and independence movements (not always good ones, some are far-right).Or stupid decisions without knowledge of the region (Hollande's "Grand Est").In 2021, after many political fights, we became "la collectivité européenne d'Alsace" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Collectivity_of_AlsaceWe have the Law 2019-816 which@GustavinoBevilacqua

My colleagues often ask me why, after years of working in our museum, I still go on photo hunts. The answer is simple: even though I give guided tours of the museum, there is still so much I haven't seen. When I show them photos like this, they say, ‘Oh, I haven't seen that yet!’Before you ask: We have modern electricity, this is part of the exhibition.#museum #museumguide #culturalHeritage #Alsace #MaisonRurale #farmLife #histodon #electric #electricity

Sparkling light helps in dark winter times. In former times, light bulbs had much less power than today. A curtain of glass beads helped to focus the light and produced fairy reflects. Often, people made these decorations themselves.#lamp #beads #beadwork #glassBeads #culturalHeritage #museum #MaisonRurale #light #sparkling #luxury #farmlife #histodon

Sometimes, our colleagues who decorate the museum have a fine sense of humour. 😅 Found in our "grandma's room".

1/2 Take away these rabbit holes! I'm extremely distracted today because I keep finding fascinating stuff.We all know that #trees and #fungi build #mycorrhiza #networks which are still not yet fully understood. At least 85% of our #plants need this #symbiosis to survive. What about their #evolution? Scientists found an arbuscular mycorrhiza from the 407-million-year-old Windyfield Chert in #Scotland: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2025/november/ancient-fossil-reveals-how-plants-fungi-first-developed-land.htmlThey were able to show that the #ecology #archaeology #paleontology

🧵 *** A one-off, stupid journalistic experiment. Today I find a lot of articles I thought I never needed. 🤣 Of course, I know how to produce and wear anti-ageing #jeans, a woman once cried at me in public: "How dare you wear jeans like that at your age!"I don't dare, I just do it. 😊 #visibleMending

Quite by chance, I stumbled across the good old #zines (still existing/coming back?). I remember them from the 1980s/90s. Are zines really a thing again? Can you tell me more about them? Is it a new cultural phenomenon, why do you like or make them? I'm super curious and fascinated!Here some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine#zineLibrary #miniZines #artbook #bookstodon #writersCommunity #writers #illustrators

Meanwhile, you can see the news about the #Louvre #heist even in German children's TV.And like a curious child, I am amazed that no one noticed this huge ladder on the street leading up to the balcony. But I am even more amazed about these ramshackle #windows!I am, because I work in a #museum, a very small one.We have not much money. But if we had a balcony with such windows, and the Louvre's money, you can be sure that it would be a fortress. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/louvre-heist-creates-terrible-image-of-france-justice-minister-says/ar-AA1ONCue 1/3

Heureusement, Lecornu est de retour (alerte au sarcasme). Son premier mandat a été trop court pour que je puisse déterminer à qui il me fait penser. Ça y est, je m'en souviens ! Mouais, ne jugez jamais un gouvernement sur son apparence ! 🤡 Luckily, Lecornu is back (sarcasm alert). His first term was too short to figure out who he reminds me of. Now I remember! Yes, never judge a government by its appearance! 😈 Warning: this toot contains dark sarcasm from the parallel reality in France!

Sometimes, we get donations for our museum which are not old enough for being museum quality. So they are sold to finance the museum.When I saw this vintage jug in our museum shop, I knew I needed it for my meadow bouquets. It could be kitsch in the wrong place but with wild flowers ...#bloomscolling #bouquet #flowers #vase #china #porcelain #vintage #museum #culturalHeritage

Yesterday, I spontaneously stepped in for a colleague's museum tour. It was my first time in a long while, so I had no chance to worry about having forgotten everything.The visitors had an unfamiliar accent (for me) and were enthusiastic. My colleagues congratulated me, saying I had just given a perfect tour in French. The people with the accent were Belgians, and I thought I had been speaking German. 😂 #MuseumGuide #multilingual

RE: https://mastodon.social/@paul_denton/115264689110379734translation: #Sarkozy sentenced to five years in #prison for #criminal conspiracy. The former #president will be summoned to be imprisoned. Political earthquake. He is also sentenced to a €100,000 fine, stripped of his civil rights and ineligible to stand for election for five years. The court refers to ‘facts of exceptional gravity likely to undermine citizens' confidence in those who represent them’.
