This 228 year old painting shows St Paul's Cathedral in London... on a canal in Venice.

It's a "capriccio" — an art genre where painters simply made up impossible architectural fantasies.

And they're some of the most interesting paintings you'll ever see...

The original Michelin Man from 1894.
He was is white because rubber tires are naturally white. It was not until 1912 that carbon chemicals were mixed into the white tires, which turned them black. The change was structural, not aesthetic. By adding carbon, tires became more durable.

Michelin also began reviewing restaurants so that more people would travel further distances in their cars to eat at these restaurants. This, in turn, would wear down their tires faster and force them to buy more.

The star system that Michelin uses goes up to three and is broken down by whether or not it's worth driving to the restaurant:

One star: "A very good restaurant in its category" (Une très bonne table dans sa catégorie)

Two stars: "Excellent cooking, worth a detour" (Table excellente, mérite un détour)

Three stars: "Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey" (Une des meilleures tables, vaut le voyage).

The Shylight by Studio Drift is a captivating sculpture in Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum that mimics the opening and closing movements of real flowers, creating an enchanting choreography.

Da dieses Video rumgeht: @Google hat im Mai den "Universal Translator" vorgestellt, der die Stimme eine:r Sprecher:in übersetzt und Lippenbewegungen synchronisiert. Aber: Das Risiko, diese Technologie missbräuchlich einzusetzen, ist groß. Stichwort #Deepfakes.

“In 1992, Kris Kristofferson comforted Sinéad O'Connor when she was booed off the stage at a Bob Dylan anniversary concert. He later wrote this for her. May we all have her courage. May we all tell the truth.
—-
"I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood
There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame
It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame”

Mattel wanted a summer blockbuster to kick off its new wave of brand-extension movies. Greta Gerwig wanted it to be a work of art. “Things can be both/and,” she said about the new "Barbie" movie. “I’m doing the thing and subverting the thing.” https://t.co/wKMPS7qZ1O
