You'd think people in Berlin wouldn't need to be told that you can be a drug user who enjoys atonal music.

Berlin station to use harsh tunes on drug users
The German rail operator Deutsche Bahn has got a new plan for getting people in Berlin not to use drugs at one of its busiest stations: atonal music. But local residents are unimpressed by the experim...

Itō Jakuchū's 'Frog' of 1790 for me is the iconic image of numbed uncomfortable bafflement at the predicament of existence in the coming modern world, much as Munch's 'Scream' expressed it through horror.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

Well, that second sentence is news
The Gustav Mahler Academy's originalklang project is a coproduction of the Busoni-Mahler Foundation in Bolzano and the Euregio Kulturzentrum Gustav Mahler Toblach Foundation. It is held under the patronage of Marina Mahler, the composer and Alma Mahler's granddaughter, for whom the famous Adagietto from the Fifth Symphony was written after her meeting with Gustav in 1901.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
1. The entomology department notice board a sign reads “Employee of the moth: Claire”
(Claire is spelled with an i)

2. Clare and a colleague are scientists wearing lab coats, they look at the board. He says “Congrats, But I think they made a typo.”

“Damn, do they did.” Says Clare

3. Clare in the office, seen from outside “Sorry to bother you boss, but my name is spelled wrong on the poster”

4. Her boss is a human-sized moth in a lab coat sitting behind a desk “Apologies Clare, I’ll get that fixed.”
(Clare is spelled either no i)

💫👀 GLOTZI EMPFIEHLT: Am kommenden Mittwoch ist ein besonderer #Astrotag! Zusätzlich zu den jährlichen #Perseiden lässt sich eine besondere #Planetenkonstellation UND eine #Sonnenfinsternis (bei uns partiell) beobachten.
Eine Art Astronomie-Poster mit dem Titel „ASTROTAG 12.08.2026“, das einen dunkelvioletten Himmel mit einer Planetenreihe bei Sonnenaufgang (mit "Schön"), ein Symbol für eine Sonnenfinsternis (mit Wow!), Meteorspuren (mit "wusch!") und Glotzi die Glotzkatze zeigt. 

Der Text lautet: 
„1. Vor Sonnenaufgang: 6 Planeten“ mit „Tipp: Mit App identifizieren“ und den Planetennamen Merkur, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Saturn, Neptun“ 

„2. Ab ungefähr 20 Uhr: Sonnenfinsternis“

„3. Nachts: Sternschnuppen! BEI NEUMOND!! Per-se-iden“

Und ganz unten „GLOTZI, DIE GLOTZKATZE, EMPFIEHLT“ mit Glotzi... die glotzt. Hier hat sie wirklich viel zu glotzen!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch :)
