    @ObsidianUrbex@mstdn.social The alarm clock is French, likely 1930s. I believe Bayard had added a seconds hand at the bottom by the 1940s.

    @JenJen@mastodon.art Awwww, love the manul. Not to throw any shade on the very cute serval, but the manuls never get enough love.

    @dbattistella@mstdn.ca My son, just finishing his freshman year, said his English comp professor was asking the class how they used AI in their assignments. He said he didn&#39;t use AI, because he wanted to use the class to learn to write better. Her response was that he was &quot;probably too advanced for this class&quot;. The boy has a dysgraphia diagnosis. If he&#39;s too advanced for a freshman comp class, the class sucks.

    Cats have always been my favorite animal. Sadly, I don&#39;t have cats at home currently, just a dog who is very sweet and we love her, but she&#39;s not a cat. So I have resorted to taking photos of wild cats, like this pretty little bobcat. I&#39;m now counting the days until my trip to Brazil to photograph jaguars. #cats #wildlife

    @DMTomas@mastodon.social That looks to me like a circa 1920&#39;s French clock by the maker Vedette. The dial marking is confusing though. H. Moser &amp; Cie was a watch maker, not a clock maker. They could have been contracting with Vedette, but they didn&#39;t use the name &quot;Hy Moser &amp; Cie&quot; until the 1980&#39;s, as far as I know. If it were a straightforward Vedette in working condition, it would be worth a few hundred dollars.
