If the crowd liked your guitar playing, Spaniards at the time would remove the onion from their belt (as was the fashion) and throw it on stage. It’s nice to see Manet’s attention to detail on the custom.

The why from the article: "According to the German statistical office, the “sharp decline” in car production was in part caused by the later timing this year of annual closures at car plants for holidays, as well as production changeover.

But a profit warning by German carmaker BMW late on Tuesday was the latest reminder of the industry’s structural challenges as it struggles with the transition to battery cars, weak sales in China, competition from Chinese rivals and US import duties.

Germany’s economy has been stuck in stagnation for more than three years."

“But when truth becomes a byword with which to beat our enemies into submission at the cost of real human beings made in the image of God, when we hold no responsibility for vile language as long as we cloak it in the guise of “speaking the truth,” we risk becoming like Pilate, engaging in philosophical wordplay about the nature of veritas before inflicting state sponsored violence on an innocent man.”

Did you just watch 28 Years Later?

Weather Channel just reported a 6 foot peak in Hawaii. It was the 1st time in over a decade they sounded the tsunami sirens.

This is really fascinating and the article was a good read. I had no idea carvings this adjacent to the ocean could last that long. On that fact alone, this area should be protected and recorded as best we can. What I know of preservation, my first instinct upon reading that a historian was pushing sand into the petroglyphs to highlight them was horror! But duh, what the hell is she doing that the ocean hasn’t been doing for centuries. And the glyphs still remain! So cool, thanks for sharing.
