Einstürzende Neubauten? That may be more of a bunch of incremental changes accumulating from album to album. But to me, Tabula Rasa in 1993 marks a real change in how they handled their noise, and I really love their subsequent music.

Immediately, probably nothing on a national level. But thinking longer-term than a single administration is how the right's gotten its success, so undoing it will probably require similarly farsighted work, right?

"Proceder" in Spanish fits into this usage more cleanly (x follows from y -> x procede de y), and "Suceder" is more frequently intransitive and means "to occur" (z ocurre -> z sucede). No clue if this happens in other romance languages, but my first guess seeing this is "contact phenomenon."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a hand holding an envelope addressed to House on the Giant Turtle’s Back. Panel 2: a postal worker, holding the envelope, stands on the rocky shore of a sea before an enormous tortoise trudging through the water. It has some trees and a house on top of its shell. Panel 3: the postal worker looks back down at the envelope, looking emotionally debilitated.

Centaur tower Landscape botfrens.com/collections/69/content…
"Centaur Tower Landscape" by Remedios Varo depicts surreal architectural structures with human-like figures engaging in mysterious activities, reflecting her signature blend of mysticism and surrealism. Varo's intricate use of geometry and space evokes a sense of otherworldly introspection and fantastical exploration.

Made me remember this album.
An album by N.U. Unruh, one of the members of Einstürzende Neubauten. It is called "Euphorie im Zeitalter der digitalen Informationsübertragung". The album cover is gold, and an icon of a man speaking is on the cover.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

HEBER CITY, Utah - An artificial intelligence that writes police reports had some explaining to do earlier this month after it claimed a Heber City officer had shape-shifted into a frog.
However, the truth behind that so-called magical transformation is simple.

"The body cam software and the Al report writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be 'The Princess and the Frog,”
Sgt. Keel told FOX 13 News. "That's when we learned the importance of correcting these AI-generated reports.'
