Den lyseblå ser ut som den kan komme fra en flaske Perrier fines bulles (som desverre snart går ut av produksjon)

Nærbilde av to lyseblå énliters glassflasker i dørhyllen på et kjøleskap. Begge har teksten «source Perrier fines bulles» i hvit skrift på mørkeblå bakgrunn med hvit rand. Begge flaskene er fulle, uåpnede, og har mørkeblå kronkork.

Cappelen Damm vil gjerne ha det sagt at de har strenge kvalitetskrav www.nrk.no/anmeldelser/...

Hvordan forfatteren har klart å hallusinere seg frem til så mange falske sitater, kan man bare spekulere i, men denne setningen på side 101 kan kanskje gi et hint:

«Selvfølgelig – her får du teksten om kunstgressbaner og ballbinger i Norge, skrevet i samme litterære og drøftende stil som resten av prosjektet ditt.»

Enda mer suspekt er det at dette manuskriptet har passert redaksjonell behandling og språkvask og blitt godkjent til utgivelse på Cappelen Damm, et av Norges største forlag.

Tilsvar fra Cappelen Damm

«Cappelen Damm har strenge kvalitetskrav, og alle våre bøker skal gjennomgå en omfattende prosess som inkluderer grundig redaksjonell oppfølging, språkvask og kvalitetssikring. I arbeidet med denne boken har forfatteren trukket på en rekke kilder, og underveis også benyttet søkemotorer og KI. I enkelte passasjer har dessverre noe av dette materialet kommet med i teksten. Dette skyldes en redaksjonell svikt, og skulle ikke vært del av det ferdige produktet. Dessuten mangler boken en kildeliste, noe som skyldes en svikt i våre rutiner. Vi tar dette på største alvor og har derfor, i samråd med forfatteren, besluttet å trekke boken fra markedet.»

Further south, we see a work crew painting the Porsche logo in the grass at the Porsche curve, so we know it is late May or early June, shortly before the 24 Hours. There is no sign of activity at the marshals posts (30 / 30B), so we're still several days out from Test Day. The date still says 2026.

Screenshot from Google Maps: overhead view of the Porsche curve (turn 30). County road D139 crosses the image diagonally from lower right to upper left. The track splits off from the D139 and curves toward the upper right of the image. In the split between the two is a gravel pit. To the right is the Beauséjour campground and marshals post 30, to the left is the site of the Porsche hospitality zone and marshals post 30B. Both sites are completely deserted. A work crew is busy laying out a white stencil spelling out PORSCHE in the grass on the inside (right-hand side) of the turn, across from the hospitality zone.

If we zoom in further, we see a vacant lot where the medical center is now. We also see a lot of activity in the paddock and pits, suggesting that this was taken shortly before or after a major race. The date still says 2026.

Screenshot from Google Maps: overhead view centered on the location of the trackside medical center, which is missing from the picture. We see numerous trailers, tents, and other temporary structures set up in the paddock, and tractor-trailer units lined up on the pit lane straight, suggesting that a race is either about to take place or has recently taken place.

Now if we zoom in on the Bugatti, we immediately see a problem. There is no sign of the hotel currently under construction at Tertre Rouge, or of the expanded museum, or of the new entrance (Porte Sud) completed in 2024, or of the trackside medical center completed in 2023. The date still says 2026.

Screenshot from Google Maps: overhead view of the Circuit Bugatti with Arnage airport and the Le Mans exhibition center to the west and the Stade Marie-Marvignt, Antarès Arena, the velodrome, and the hippodrome (incorrectly labeled “Sports Field”) to the east.

Now let's return to the overhead view and move south. This is the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe, with the Circuit Bugatti in the northwest corner, and the Hippodrome du Mans, where Wilbur Wright demonstrated the Wright Flyer in 1908, just north of the center. The date says 2026.

Screenshot from Google Maps: satellite view of the Circuit de la Sarthe south of Le Mans, France. Just north of the center of the image are a horse-racing track (the Hippodrome du Mans) and the Circuit Bugatti, the motorsports venue which forms part of the Circuit the la Sarthe, where the 24 Hours of Le Mans are held each year in June. To the west is a small regional airport, Le Mans Arnage, then a sorting yard and a large industrial zone. The village of Arnage is in the lower left of the image. Ruaudin is in the middle of the right edge. Mulsanne is off the bottom right. Le Mans proper is out of frame to the north.

See for instance this Street View image of a house in Le Mans. It says June 2022, and I know that's correct, because that's my car parked out front. I was renting it at the time. You can tell it's a Wednesday because the recycling bin is out; I think it was the 15th.

Decided to give @boostblue.bsky.social a shot and immediately hit this: “Show full thread” between the first and second posts of a three-post thread. This UI element should only show if you're omitting posts from the thread, which is not the case here.

Bluesky tags each post with the language you've set the app to. If you post in another language it will sometimes, but not always, notice and suggest that you change the tag. @iedamarcondes.com probably didn't notice, so her post is tagged as Portuguese, causing the app to offer to translate.

Screenshot of the Bluesky app taken while typing this post, showing the language selection menu. The first (and selected) option is English. Other options include Norwegian, French, and German.

pauvre petit martyre, on peut même plus faire un thread misogyne sans s'en prendre plein la figure

thread de Lomig:

1)
En 15 ans de Twitter je n’ai jamais bloqué personne. Même pas les antivax qui me criaient dessus.

Même pas les homophobes qui m’aimaient pas trop.

Même pas les PP laser.

2)
Faites un thread « j’aime pas dans l’absolu les quotas quand il n’y a pas de barrière d’entrée, les gens ferment les yeux sur les externalités et je préfère le travail en amont pour augmenter la désirabilité », et vous vous retrouvez avec TROIS JOURS de cris, d’insultes, des centaines de notif.

3)
Au point de ne pas avoir vraiment d’autre solution.

Et le pire : personne qui ne veut parler des externalités pour autant.

Comme quoi c’est toujours la même chose : le dogpiling, c’est toujours un problème uniquement quand c’est le camp d’en fasse qui le fait.

4)
D’en face.

J’en perds mon orthographe.

The patent resurfaced in the 1920s and later gave rise to the myth that the paper clip had been invented in Norway. However, the symbolism of the paper clip during the occupation did not so much derive from its supposed origin as from the fact that it is used to hold things together.

An image taken from the Norwegian 1899 patent showing different possible shapes for paper clips. None of them would have been much use in practice as they aim to trap the paper between a plane and a line, rather than two planes.

The paper clip was invented (but not patented) in the USA prior to 1894. A machine for manufacturing them more efficiently was patented in 1899. That same year, something akin to a paper clip was patented in Norway by Johan Vaaler (1866-1910), but it was never commercialized.

1894 ad for the Gem Paper Clip. The ad has a drawing of a paper clip and reads “Don't mutilate your papers with pins or fasteners, but use the GEM PAPER CLIP, only satisfactory devise [sic] for temporary attachment of all kinds of papers. Quickly applied and removed. 25 Cents a Box. Cushman & Denison, 172 9th Avenue, N.Y.”

No. You pull up your profile and tap where it says “x labels have been placed on this account”. This opens a new pane with a list of labels, each with a description, its source, and an Appeal button. I've never had a label placed on a post but I imagine the process is similar.
