They found a Gaudí!

Goetheanum (Rudolf Steiner 1920s) while it's usally considered Expressionist it carries alot of the aesthetic quality of brutalism. r/brutalism

Dutch skies are rather grey in February. Here's a grass dyke with a stairway into that grey sky. I really like the lines, it's a great spot for a picture of I pass it.

I knew it’d turnip somewhere.

An enamel coffee pot. I thought I'd seen it in an artwork (see thread), but even if not: this is a great piece! I have a growing fondness for enamel, it's underrated.

I found a red bag (with a tear in it). The sun, the wind and I had a playdate.

I can't do actualities anymore. I will try to post more pictures. Here's today's not so blue sky:

Oooh! May i enter my personal collection of copper/bronze/tin teapots? Found at thrift stores, used for still life studies. I have a limited collection of rather mundane objects: I call them the MAD/MET (museum van alledaagse dingen/ museum of everyday things) (NL/EN).

The first still: looks lik a lizard person, no?

America won’t heal until we have our own version of the Nuremberg trials.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Dit is dus mysogynie. Idem in de comments. 🤷‍♀️

Even if u'd hate to! 😠 grr

This is my favourite article in the past months. Still makes me laugh. I thought I'd share it again. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

1/7 In 2023, it all began with a single organ. One shrill voice of wood and pipes, mechanical hearts breathing air and spewing sound. He wasn't just anywhere; he was right across from the Russian Embassy in the Netherlands. As if he knew where to be.

Dutch style psychological warfare: draaiorgels (barrel organ). They're considered immaterial heritage, and they're the most obnoxious things in Dutch busy shopping streets. Here they're playing the Ukrainian anthem at the Russian embassy all day.

Zero inhibition. Like in Up, when the dogs... SQUIRRELLLLLL! The difference is that he's not picking up his original line of thought, which any healthy brain can do. He can't, cause his brain is mush probably.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

It's still getting worse. Beyjnd unfit.

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

The presumed upcoming El Nino will help cement and quantify global warming acceleration, showing that 2C global warming is likely to be reached in the 2030s, not at midcentury.

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

Is this the meltdown? Or just a practice run? Asking for a friend.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

The thing you knew to just never happen... it happened!

My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Un. Fit.

What the ducking duck are you doing over there, man?! Democracy isn't some showbizz clickbait fucked up reality show, which you can mess up just 'cause... the ancient Romans & Greeks did not intend it this way! Even colonising Europeans didn't intend you to run it into the ground...

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

A group of pediatricians wrote an op-ed detailing the traumatic, lasting effects kids in detention centers will endure: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Thread! Here's how the top photo in the "crying" article varies across different language Wikipedias! In Czech, it's a kid named Stephen who "was sad that his 3 hot dogs, box of donuts, and 2 liter bottle of soda fell to the ground"(2009)

A mysterious case for @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social apparently ppl cannot fathom how the car became lodged on the bollard, wheels suspended in mid air. I say: excellent performance by bollard! Auto ‘vliegt’ niet tegen, maar óp een paaltje in Millingen Gelderlander.nl share.google/F1uXvvGVJB32...

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier." I'm honestly speechless.

I'm looking for more footage. Seeing the video of a person being removed on a stretcher kinda shows a dead person (or a stand in?). No iv, not hooked up to monitor (sits packed up beneath the propped up head), after serious car accident is just not done. Can we get this to go viral?

He's a little puffy now. Either fluids, or they're fattening him up with something. My bet is on fluids, when he's had his diuretics, he looks ghoulish.

Wat een totale onzin! Dit is echt je reinste gelul! De foto van het "breien" klopt niet. De breinaald ziet eruit als 5mm, het breiwerk heeft geen zichtbare steken en dat betekent vrijwel altijd: machinaal gebreid (heel dun draad). De modellen suggereren ook machinaal gebreid, als je toch met de -->

For anyone who doesn't already know this: this documentary shows how deep the rot is in the US border patrol. I daresay it's exemplary of the country as a whole. Go watch it if you can: www.imdb.com/title/tt3922... Also: it needs some love, a lot of 1* reviews, it's better than that!

Every American needs to watch this:

Another really bad day for this guy. I won't explain further, there is no need.
