I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and I'm apparently just German. Kant would approve. https://t.co/bUsgkOXhWH

@hugh_canning Have you been to the cafe in the nearby Bode Museum? Well worth a visit!

I love this picture of Minnie Driver in the TV Biblical epic she's in. She looks like she's playing a character in the Bible named Minnie Driver.

Always fascinated how people in the middle ages for hundreds of years just lived amongst the ever decrepitating Roman ruins. It was just a part of daily life for them.

Buster Keaton rated this "Hard Luck" impossible gag from his shorts as one of his best. As Buster recalls it, the water in the tank was covered with paraffin, over which was pasted a wallpaper that looked like solid brick flooring. Buster dived through the supposed bricks.

This interview by @chiggi with Tracey Emin is really a masterclass in arts journalism. She provides content, structure and the space for Emin to breathe, elucidate, be without ever clumsily inserting herself. It is just brilliant https://t.co/vNsZOIXFoB

A soldier on the Italian Front during WW1 described sentry duty at 3,000m as being “A sentinel of nothingness.”

Norm MacDonald's "polar bear" SNL sketch is such a classic 😂 and the last time Chris Farley and Adam Sandler appeared as cast members

@RomaPete Food is definitely of the biergarten variety, but good - and you don't have to drink beer to enjoy the atmosphere! Inside are long hallways of different food stands, outside the festive biergarten

Just slowly getting into Haydn
and his wit and structure; Mozart is wit and structure and melody. Having Deh vieni non tardare as an encore just underscores the difference.

Gorgeous Haydn on the Thames concert yesterday at Friedenskirche #sanssouci (Musikfestpiele Potsdam) with some early Mozart thrown in and Sandrine Piau delivering dramatic scenes.

@Matedwards7 Your post introduced me to a part of England I don‘t know and now really want to visit - thanks! “… a subtle beauty that’s hard to capture photographically” is so true of many places I love that often get overlooked, like much of Brandenburg, where I live near Berlin.

Blossoming in the Lagoon of #Venice in May:
~ White tamarisk (island Torcello)
~ Hemp palm (everywhere)
~ Cape marguerites (Burano and Giudecca)
~ Viburnum (Torcello)
~ Quince (island Mazzorbo)
~ Ancient roses, like our rosa cymosa
+ many more🍃

Modernista overload at Palau de la Música; Schwanengesang #schubert - kind of dry. I love the Barcelona concert-going bourgeoisie - frosty Almodovar mothers and their fey young male escorts.
