"Ce qu’il faudrait, c’est rendre inéligible à vie ceux qui ont été condamnés". Les "Jeunes avec Macron" vont placarder 25 000 affiches reprenant une citation de Marine Le Pen en 2013 pour souligner son "hypocrisie" après sa condamnation. leparisien.fr/politique/condam

Le Parisien · Condamnation de Marine Le Pen : la campagne choc des Jeunes avec MacronBy Marcelo Wesfreid

Finished my entry for #redpilljam - it's the only submmission ;) Depending on the mood of the day I guess I can choose if I made first or last place. It's okay though, I had fun; it's my first shooter-type game and I am still confused about the many small differences in #genres - is this an action-adventure? I hear Tetris being called that.

Made in #Defold, my first #animations, my superfirst #particleFX, things are definitely improving.

One of the real treasures at home. A collection of jams made by me, my mom, and my grandma.

When I go to pick a new jar from the shelf, I am always reminded that there is tradition here. I wasn't particularly interested as a teenager, but eventually the gardening and jam making bug caught me too. It was inevitable 😛

Fun fact. There are different types of pectin with different structures. High methoxyl (HM) pectin requires a lot of sugar and a high temperature and will set quickly. Low methoxyl (LM) pectin needs calcium and works at a lower temperature and is slower to set.

Where I live, HM is absolutely dominant but the amount of sugar needed to make a thick jam is staggering and makes the end product less enjoyable in my personal opinion. It works fine for blueberries which have a level of astringency, but with strawberry it turns by far too sweet (or too runny if you use less).

This is why I bunker up on LM (with added calcium for a reliable result) when I'm traveling. With it, I can make much thicker and fruitier, well balanced jams 🍓🍒

Also, some fruits and berries have so much pectin on their own that there is no need to add any. For example apples and lingonberries. These can be combined with other fruits to thicken a jam with less or no added pectin 🍏

I remember the good ol' days, me and the band used to have massive #jam sessions. Frankie would be on Concord grape and Liz would be on red currant. Daff was wild cherry all the way, and no one rocked black raspberry like I did. The kitchen came alive with our noise. "If you don't like the taste of summer, preserved in sugar and just waiting to ride a piece of hot toast to your mouth, then get out of the kitchen," we'd crow. And our jams? Our jams were the best.

The last of the nectarines are now jam! The final batch macerated for about 36 hours in the end, because oh god I'm so tired. They ended up swimming in amazing, thick syrup though. In the first couple of pictures here, it's worth noting that the only liquid added to the fruit pieces was the juice of one lemon.

Anyway now I can have nectarines on toast for weeks!

Another #jamuary #music #track & this time i am going in a different direction. I usually do #techno #electronica #synthwave and #electroacousticmusic but you might not know i recorded many #jazz musicians before covid. This latest #jam answers the question “what would it sound like if i started a Jazz band?”. Not traditional jazz as you would expect. #soundcloud #funk #fusion @music

Today i had a little bit more time so i went to work & recorded the following:
