As long as this clown is keeping the term "SerboCroatian language", "Balkan peninsula" and West Balkans" on Wikipedia this will for me be a pseudosite. Croatian and Serbian are two close but distinctive languages (with many unique dialects) that both had their own distinctive development throughout approximately one millenia in poetry, laws, liturgy, different redactions from different respective dialects and so on. SerboCroatian was artificial creation for purpose of common language in Yugoslavia but it never had a real management because Yu-republics were using their different versions and even dialectal versions in different regions. In some cases Wikipedia is going all the way that this pseudo-language existed from middle ages. West Balkans doesn't exist because here are the Dinaric mountains while Balkan or Stara Planina is only on Bulgarian territory. That said Balkan peninsula doesn't exist in geographical term because the land line has to be approximately two times shorter than sea side lines and that here is not the case. Only Greece and Albania are technically on peninsula by geographic standards. If this three "political" agendas are axepted as normal thing because of some globalist interests to have this pseudoregion as one big state than what other bigger lies and interests are written in Wikipedia 🧐🤔
I haven’t listened to Kid A. Just this year, discovered the Radiohead rabbit hole and still falling through it’s layers- beautiful yet daunting. So much to assimilate! I’m even watching bits where musicians/ engineers are showing how to set up the 5/4 time signatures that Radiohead uses in most songs-I don’t read music but am intrigued by their ballooning use of electronics..I’ve watched several bits about Stanley & Thom’s artistic collaboration. It must be nice to be so artistically gifted!! It’s Radiohead’s world-we’re JUST lucky to be in their presence.
love vivienne! if one of the greatest designers mends her clothes, everybody else has no excuse. hugsies, andreas! thankyou to all who are organizing this sale, surely she is happy that even after her life she can help her causes that she championed. rip
it is truly amazing that the big auction houses manage to create this abstract world of imaginary values and people believe the stories and buy all this stuff. this is value creation at its best.
Beautiful painting with a fascinating story! I wonder how it was authenticated as original after it was discovered in the bus stop? Also, has it been "overcleaned?"
Let me re-phrase Dr. Hughes gushing statement about this being a revolutionary moment: "This is when we're going from a time of acceptance of many gods & religions to a time of bigotry & repression." There were never any wars over religion until christianity came along with its insistance of only one right way. Look it up. That said, this is an amazing bit from the past, & being able to read it is even more amazing. Interesting to learn about the development of the book form.
