No one taught you the order that built the world you live in. I name it, examine it, and show you where it still survives.

Why so many places feel wrong... You have walked through a beautiful building and felt something you could not name. Bought something that looked right and felt wrong at home. Stood in a room that was expensive, tasteful, and somehow empty. That feeling is not nostalgia. It is your instinct recognising that something was removed from the things we build and buy, and never replaced. 5 days to name it: why-places-feel-wrong.drr.ac

@BossDuffi @OwenKemeys I know, the GT hasn’t changed. Best to buy a secondhand, no one sees the difference. But still: in the EV market it seems it’s the best design you can get.

Grape. Arguably the most European fruit (the source of the sacred wine) is NOT an individual flavor in Europe. Europeans consume fresh grapes, but you won’t find grape jams, grape candy, grape sodas etc, and even grape juice while it exists is not really popular. This reminds me of this incredible “grape croissant” in Kuala Lumpur - a masterpiece in itself, and they probably thought they were giving it a very authentic European vibe with the oh-so-European grape, but the reality it that you will never find grape as a flavor accent in Europe.

Schiphol Airport was built on a battlefield In 1573 Amsterdam fought on Spain's side against the Dutch rebels on the Haarlemmermeer lake The Sea Beggars lost, and Haarlem fell to Philip II The Dutch spent the next century winning the war anyway... Then they drained the lake and built an airport on it

The widow who ran Pommery grew it from 100,000 bottles a year to two million Then she bought one of the most important paintings in French history Millet's The Gleaners She purchased it to prevent it leaving France Then gave it to the Louvre She left 850 ceramic works to the museum in Reims when she died The house named its prestige cuvée after her The painting is now in the Musée d'Orsay Pommery is still here

@robbertleusink this car had terrible sales because the main selling point was the Ferrari v8 naturally aspirated which they took away. i don't get why these sport car companies are so hell bent on electrification when its obviously doomed from the start

In 1639 Japan expelled every European trader except one nation The Portuguese had built churches The Dutch had built profits For the next 220 years the VOC occupied a fan-shaped artificial island in Nagasaki harbour Japanese scholars crossed the country to reach that single bridge The field of knowledge they built from Dutch texts had a name: Rangaku. Dutch learning Every Western idea that entered Japan between 1641 and 1853, anatomy, astronomy, electricity, military science, crossed one Dutch threshold
