1905 was my guess. But the, I live in Vienna.

It makes the quote from the Wittgenstein figure in the thus-titled film "Back to fucking Cambridge" more understandable ...

What is the vertical axis?

What is this "pray"?

Kissinger, for example?

However, to quibble, the input growth function f is probably exponential.

Glen, very good stuff, thank you.

It might be better to use an exponential as approximating function $y = a0 + a1 * exp(a2*(t-t0))$ (one of those coefficients might be redundant). The underlying physical process might well be exponential. Of course, locally a parabola is a good approximation.

You are wonderful.

Wonderful, thank you.

"Former Scripps Research Assistant Professor". Hahaha! US Exceptionalism seems to be taking a long time to die.

Che?

Perfect, Greg: "And surely only AI could display Albanese with such little dignity or self worth…."

Brilliant, Greg: "And surely only AI could display Albanese with such little dignity or self worth….". You encapsulated succinctly the whirling fury and disgust in my head.

Brilliant! Portraying the sense of movement reminds one of Umberto Boccioni

Magnificent. I came here to type "Fantasia", but I yield to you.

Vienna, late summer, early autumn, Saturday afternoon, 29°C, demonstration in support of Palestine, 30,000 people claimed

Vienna Saturday, 30,000 claimed

Andy, also you got it in one, it was heart-breaking, a brilliant achievement of Cathy: the colours, the representation of the refugees, and the sign. But I am burbling.

Unfortunately his/her confused delusions seem to be widely shared in their cohort, at home and in the diaspora.

Actually, no, I don't find it funny. Brevity is the soul of wit.

Mackerel Sky!

Sounds like bullshit to me, Barry

I've said it before, but will repeat it here: Fiona's gift for caricature, with very few lines, is extraordinary.

Oops - if one wanted to capture the spirit of Kafka (or Böhmische Dorfer) in central Europe, as your two photos do (my heart sank), then B+W

I vote for colour - all the Habsburg cities are nicely multi-coloured. I live in a block in "Schönbrunn yellow". Charming.

And it was probably not a hanging offence!

My goodness, Cathy. How very terse and insightful.

Interesting! Completely different from his paintings, which are somewhat sparse, and, dare I say, just a bit twee.

YES! The stupidity of colleagues is astonishing.

Whenever I see those wonderful oval windows, such as your earlier picture today, I think of Josef der Zweite. With this picture, and the man himself, it did not require much imagination. Very nice.
