In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”
Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs". There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

Mongolian has some wild Eurasian etymologies! 🥰 My favourite one is nom ᠨᠣᠮ ('book'), from Greek νόμος, via Sogdian and Old Uyghur. The semantic shift 'custom, law' > 'scripture' > 'book' is lovely.
Btw nomos also has a Syriac > Arabic result, nāmōsā ܢܳܡܘܿܣܳܐ > nāmūs ناموس 😀

Cross-posting from Instytut Pekiński.

I didn't know about this painting's existence "Autumn Hunting of Yuan people" & it is marvelous, to say the least.

Smarter ppl are commenting on the exact date etc but Peking Inst says it is 1 of only 2 paintings of Yuan hunt - other being Kublai's.

Capitalism is awesome because no one can afford groceries and instead of blaming anyone with wealth or power we get mad at people living on the street or trying to move to the country to work

Ciotti, il est en juin 40 dans sa tête et ça le RÉGALE.
« Je sais que pour certains une alliance avec le Rassemblement national n'est ni naturelle, ni facile. Mais dans les périodes ou l'histoire accélère et ou le destin de notre patrie bascule nous devons nous débarrasser de nos clichés respectifs et voir l'essentiel : le partage d'une certaine idée de la France », écrit Éric Ciotti dans une lettre adressée aux LR, publiée par le Journal du dimanche.

Ce qui participe un peu à la folie, je trouve, c'est qu'on ne soit pas tous en grève générale et dans la rue face à pareille situation.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

When Putin talks to a Russians he consistently says that they invade Ukraine to destroy the state and nation and correct the path of history. NATO and similar framings are just for the useful foreigners.

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

Jest to coś bez nazwy - pod koniec września prawicowy Pawka Morozow podpieprza u Amerykanów polskiego dziennikarza (bo pisze, że OZE są OK). I Amerykanie cofają Polakowi zaproszenie.
