Fabien Roussel, a representative of the French Communist Party, said after the meeting that “Macron referenced a scenario that could lead to intervention [of French troops]: the advancement of the front towards Odesa or Kyiv.”

He noted that the French President showed parliamentarians maps of the possible directions of strikes by Russian troops in Ukraine.

Following the meeting, Jordan Bardella of the far-right National Rally party noted that “there are no restrictions and no red lines” in Macron’s approach.

AI? I took this photo myself when I was in France during the croissant harvesting season!

[-] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago

Wait. Was this taken in the Croissante region? It's just that they're very particular about this, and I just want to make sure those are, in fact, croissant fields, and not sparkling crescent rolls.

If that's AI it did a great job on the hands for once.

Better for sure but the knuckles don't align with the digits

Good eye, I didn't notice that. Improvements are noticeable though as it used to be so much worse

Also his left hand only has 3 fingers. Either that or the pinky has a similar texture to the ground. Hard to tell based on the lighting.

[-] rustydomino@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

that's because harvesting croissants uses really dangerous sharp tools to cut them off the stems and workers lose digits all the time. It's why the French have great single payer healthcare.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Of course, I should have thought about what would happen if you try to tear a fresh croissant from the stem without cutting it.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 8 months ago

It seems to be a non-issue for a while now

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Maybe, but if you look at the man’s left hand then is he Jesus? What is that? A weird watch or a stake?
