Disappointing. I have fond memories of Jarre's The Docklands concerts. The emotions it brought. Something that I can't feel with AI. Even if it can sound beautiful, just knowing it doesn't come from the human heart changes everything.

The three-color crater lakes of Kelimutu volcano in East Nusa Tenggara are parts of indigenous belief about where souls go after death. In local folklore, Ata Bupu, a kind sorcerer, fought the evil Ata Polo to protect two orphans. Crater lakes emerged from where their bodies fell. 1/3

A large crowd of Lio people during Pati Ka ritual. They wear traditional fabric on their heads, shoulders, and as sarongs. They stand in a big circle while holding hands and commencing the prayer for ancestors.
A large boulder surrounded by flat rocks, serving as a place to give offerings in Pati Ka ritual. There are multiple wooden and wicker bowls placed on the flat rocks, filled with food. Traces of meat are scattered on the big rock.
The indigenous Lio people of Ende, East Nusa Tenggara, believe that ancestral souls reside in Kelimutu lakes. In a ritual called Pati Ka Du'a Bapu Ata Mata, they serve offerings to the ancestors for blessing and protection, placing them on a stone altar shaped like the volcano. 2/3
The newly minted laureate of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award Jon Klassen is well known and celebrated for his picture book writing and illustration.
But I thought I’d highlight his beautiful work illustrating book covers for middle grade novels as they deserve their own praise.
Obsessed with the moody vibes of this oil painting by Ksenia Wert! The subject’s distant gaze and iconic bunny headdress leaves me with a feeling of curious unease.

This is just so cool. A Roman-era mummy recently excavated in Egypt contained a fragment of papyrus with a section of the Iliad.

An ancient stone carving of the god of corn with a magnificent headdress.
Pitao Cozobi, the Zapotec god of thunder, water, and therefore corn (which you can see in his headdress). From Mexico’s treasure trove of marvelous ancient creativity, the anthropological museum.
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
De 25-jarige Pavel Krisevitsj, die wegens zijn kritiek op het Kremlin 3,5 jaar in de gevangenis zat, mag donderdag niet optreden bij De Balie in Amsterdam.
Hij mag Nederland van de regering niet in. Ze zijn bang dat hij in Nederland asiel zal aanvragen.
Waar is asiel anders voor Jetten?

Today is the 2 year anniversary of when I met the Ravens. They just checked me out from a distance then! Here is some of my fav footage: them courting, feeding each other, barrel rolling and some of their vocalisations. They are the most amazing birds and I am so lucky to have them!
Jaarlijks raken tienduizenden honden en katten (waarvan héél véél kittens) hun thuis kwijt, omdat ze verdwalen, worden gedumpt of omdat er door omstandigheden niet meer voor ze kan worden gezorgd. De kittens worden liefdevol opgevangen bij onze gastgezinnen. Iets voor jou? #vrijwilliger #dankbaar
Shoebills are unfortunately not doing too well in the wild. It has been estimated that there are only between 3,300 - 5,300 adult shoebills left in the world according to IUCN. This is due to wars, habitat loss, poaching and capture for the illegal pet trade.

Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.
Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.
