We were up on Rigi on Wednesday, and it was exactly like this: brilliant sunshine above a sea of clouds down in the valleys. Just spectacular. 🌞 🌄 🏔️

TIL that Andrew Lloyd Webber took Madonna to Anglo-Catholic services during the production of Evita… where else but the church Ian Nairn called an “architectural orgasm,” William Butterfield’s Anglo-Cath ur-church All Saints Margaret Street. www.instagram.com/reel/DLXr__Z...
What if you cathmaxxed an Anglican Church. Quirky, stripey, pointy. Mismatched patterns. Deep greens that probably killed workers. Like the saviour dressed in Savile Row.

Ich würde sagen, läuft mit der Stärkung der deutschen und europäischen Wirtschaft.
Schlagzeile FAZ
Vom Veggieburger zum Bratling
Von Gregor Brunner, Anne Kokenbrink, Felix Schwarz, Frankfurt
Unternehmen erwarten wegen Markenumstellungen höhere Kosten für Kunden
brn./ak./fesc. FRANKFURT. Die Entscheidung des Europaparlaments am Mittwoch hat die Lebensmittelbranche ins Mark getroffen. Begriffe wie „Veggieburger" oder „Tofuwurst" könnten womöglich aus den Supermarktregalen verschwinden. Während Befürworter von mehr Klarheit für Verbraucher sprechen, warnen Unternehmen und Verbände vor Mehraufwand und wirtschaftlichen Schäden.

You should see my house. Completed in 1980, but designed in 1978... we have one entirely orange guest bath!

(Not to mention other lovely orange features.)

And not just the food - the kitchen equipment upstairs, too!

Still have dozens of kitchen gadgets I bought at Zabar's in the late 80s / early 90s.

My daughter did an undergrad seminar on hair with @smschober.bsky.social at #UZH a couple years ago. The topic is fascinating and my daughter *loved* working with Sarah-Maria.

💯 Can recommend!

Come and feast your eyes on the whole* series at the Coalmine Café in Winterthur.

(*Up until the Reinharts sold their Suhrkamp shares in 2006.)

Photo shows a café with an enormous wall of books. Prominently featured in the shelves are the rainbow spines of Suhrkamp paperbacks, forming multiple rainbow spectra.

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

have just come across a YouTube account that has been using Sora to upload reels of fake, AI-generated “90s sitcoms” every few hours

Glorious Titian panel at the Scoletto (little Scuola) at San Antonio Padua. Look carefully. It is sublime.

I learned *so* much working on this, and I think even Tod did.

We couldn't have done it without you all!
