Absolutely. I visited both Muster and Rebenhof on the same day last july in Steiermark. Distance between them is very short, but the wines couldn't be more different and totally felt like expressions of their makers' personalities
Only took notice now of the death of Malcolm Budd. Never had the chance to meet him, but very fine philosopher. Also, he never replied to my emails, which shows his soundness of judgment.
See the ski jumper Domen Prevc of Team Slovenia fly through a snow squall during a competition.
I dreamed I found a 6 volume PhD thesis on Wittgenstein by ex-cyclist Richard Virenque in an obscure French academic library that also happened to serve good Italian food. The first volume was a historical contextualisation and contained only reproductions of Belle Époque ads for aperitives.
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

yeah we're into LLMs (Large Lamb-bridge Models)
You see this, post a concert pic that you took
There is probably not enough Tom Waits on your TL, so just take one minute to listen to this wonderful voice reading a beautiful poem

Not surprising that your public debt is out of control if you’re a country that can’t distinguish between an espresso and an Olympic swimming pool
I was lucky enough to be a guest a few times. Right before starting he would say, "our audience is very well informed, so go as deep as you want, and if need be I'll ask you to clarify." Thought that was pretty amazing, like, the opposite of saying "dumb it down please."
I am obviously not up to date, but my three favorite classic albums might be "Suprême NTM" from NTM, "La Rage de dire" from Fabe, and "Hip Hop Forever" from Busta Flex.
Update(s) from Serbia: the School of Philosophy at the University of Novi Sad has been overtaken by the police, who have evicted the students occupying the building since the start of the student-led movement for social change. The police are now attacking citizens who came to support students.
Seems to me that there are contexts where you might not be surprised by the content, as it might be banal (say, something significant but pretty generic about one’s childhood), but surprised that you are considered to be the kind of conversational partner fit for that kind of content
In a world where many children are starving in Gaza and factory farming still exists on a large scale some people are worried about AI welfare…Has too much interaction with bots dulled their critical faculties?
