An Art Nouveau winding staircase decorated with metal flowers and vines, designed by architect Ede Magyar, at Reök Palace in Szeged, Hungary (1907)

#ArtNouveau #Architecture

Remember "don't print this email" in signatures that was a bit cringe? It doesn't feel that cringe anymore in retrospect. I'm doing an experiment now with this new email signature :D Anyone doing something similar? Could it catch on?

edit: BTW please absolutely steal/modify this idea if you want!

I was asked by someone why my Home timeline is so much prettier than theirs. I follow hashtags is why.

Including but not limited to:

#minipainting
#ceramics
#mushtodon
#bloomscrolling
#aurora
#sculpture
#mastoart *
#illustration
#printmaking

The trick is going for specific arts and crafts, you find people who are into it.

For whatever reason I find #mastoart a lot better to follow than #art as the latter is way more broad like a really nice sandwich is a work of art.

Mistral AI (France) will power French Army and it's important for 2 reasons:

1. Integration into national defense infrastructure effectively classifies Mistral as a "strategic asset." This status ensures that foreign entities, specifically from the U.S. or China, cannot acquire the company

2. By securing a major public sector contract, Mistral gains a stable, long-term revenue stream typical of defense agreements. This financial bedrock allows the company invest more aggressively in R&D
