Entendre l'évangile du jour : "Rendez à césar ce qui est à césar." Rêver d'un grand sermon sur chrétiens en société qui accueille les citoyens que nous sommes. Espérer que quelqu'un d'autre l'ait eu.

Enfin un phishing qui réussit à cibler les points faibles des enseignant-chercheurs !

It's that time of year when I teach our new masters students how to find stuff on their topics on the internet and in various databases. They display the traditional mix of anxiety and passion!

This is a great rant and indicates the degree of alarm felt by journal editors who do not have the resources at present to deal with industrial scale fraud: www.markkoyama.com/p/the-new-ag...

Very true. And something those of us with power to change small things should be trying to improve.

That moment when the endless meetings and desperate rush to get everything ready for the beginning of the semester gives way to the first class of actual students who ask good questions and remind me why I love doing what I do!

Attendez, donc samedi prochain, il y aura au même moment la messe du pape à Concorde+Champs Elysés et la marche du climat à Nation ?

Oh dear, teaching inception moment. Taught our new masters intake today for the first time. They were born in 2005... when I started my own masters degree...

The joys of raising a bilingual child, chapter 125. Said child now produces beautiful sentences in freewith subjunctives in them. I have clear memories of rather painful secondary school French lessons and having to learn how and when to use the subjective. Brains are amazing...

🇫🇷 🇬🇧 ´It’s an important moment.’ @franziska.fr reacts to correspondent Benedicte Paviot putting the vibe of #BayeuxTapestry loan to London on par with Channel Tunnel opening as great moments in Franco-British entente

I bought out Rosslare-Dublin train tickets online. Little did I know what delights would continue to reach my inbox after I went back to work...

I am trying to put together a lecture for beginner masters students on this and it is infuriating. I taught their predecessors over the years all the useful tips and tricks. Now I have to stop myself from having a 1-hour-rant about how everything is worse now.

Field Marshall Foliage (what else was I going to call my office peace lily?) on her way to her summer quarters!

Regularly scheduled caveat that being kind is NOT about being "nice". Where nice will lie and "just wants to get along," kindness is about accountability, responsibility, and honesty. It will necessitate hard conversations and good boundaries. It is often about doing what's hard, not what's easy.

As Paris braces for a day at 38C and its forth heatwave, I know I chose the right destination for our holiday from next week!

Britain risks losing language skills to understand its enemies www.thetimes.com/article/5df4...

Une histoire qui va amuser @nicolasbeaupre.bsky.social @gragratraina.bsky.social et Monsieur @damefanny.bsky.social

Allez ! C'est notre tour maintenant !

Paris libérée, Paris délivrée ! Personne ne cherche à s'abriter, tout le monde regarde le ciel d'un air content.

Si vous cherchez LE spot pour échapper à la canicule en Normandie, je peux vous conseiller le musée de l'histoire de la vie quotidienne à Petit-Caux (à côté de Dieppe). Ils ont un problème de climatisation et du coup il y fait 15°C!

Excellent news and in time for a new round of training incoming masters students on digital tools!

Fussballspielergebnisschadenfreude

Toujours dans un flux continu de réunions du matin au soir, MAIS au moins maintenant c'est en personne et non pas en zoom !

#IYKYK

Adding this to the list of examples of disappearing databases I show students when talking about digital history. The one I was saddest about is the NYPL menu database...

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

Quatre jours quasi pleins de réunions en zoom (avec en plus une longue réunion en présentiel dans un amphi chaud) et la zoom fatigue du confinement est de retour...

Everyone's suffering in the heatwave, but at least the tomatoes and the beans are thriving!

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Donc l'université caniculaire côté gouvernance, c'était zoom de 9h à 19h avec un mini trou de 20 minutes au milieu pour avaler un sandwich. J'ai des flash-backs du covid...

Arghhh. 25e effet kiss cool de la canicule. Vous vous souvenez de l'histoire de notre mail qui est coupé le soir suite à une cyberattaque ? C'est toujours le cas, mais à 22h maintenant. Eh bien quand il fait super chaud et que l'enfant épuisé n'arrive pas à s'endormir avant 22h, c'est peu pratique
