Me entrevistaron desde el @mincultura de #Colombia sobre la colección #Quimbaya y la noción de #patrimonio #cultural. Ya salió la entrevista en @estoescambio... 😃

[MinCultura Colombia @mincultura]

¿Por qué cuestionar que la colección Quimbaya sea un obsequio? Responde @lossonpierre, uno de los principales expertos del mundo en patrimonio. Losson estará invitado al simposio Rescatando Nuestro Origen Quimbaya, que se hará en Armenia a fines de mes. https://t.co/esCkvQuX1h

Looking for a perfect example of anti-cultural heritage return propaganda featuring fake news and half-truths? Here is a deplorable, un-researched "article" about #Mexico's claim for the #penacho de Moctezuma from #Austria in @krone_at. Pitiful: https://t.co/QK95FvePgw

The @MTA @NYCTSubway in its daily dereliction: 1 train suddenly going express from 145 to 96. An announcement? Would have required functioning speakers that decades-old trains don't have. Thanks @GovKathyHochul for your indefectible support to making New Yorkers' lives miserable.

@DonaldDrunk20 @KadoKero @victoriakoussa Non, mais c'est une personne qui respecte la loi. Une fois celle-ci passée, elle l'a appliquée en sa qualité de maire. Qu'elle ait été d'accord ou non.

[Pierre Losson @lossonpierre]

@KadoKero @victoriakoussa Ca veut probablement dire qu'elle était contre! sinon elle serait venue pour participer à un vote historique. S'abstenir contre son propre camp = ne pas être d'accord, surtout sur ce genre se textes. Mais peut-être a-t-elle évolué sur la question.
