The world is oftentimes such an ugly place, but sometimes it can be so beautiful.
Like, when two choirs, one from Croatia and the other from Zimbabwe, met on the opposite sides of a Lisbon subway station and both sang to each other.
I unfortunately do not know what the Zimbabwe children choir sang to them (although it was so beautiful), but the Croatian klapa Kastav sang 'Kuća puna naroda' (a house full of people).
And let my reward be a house full of people,
my life, give me a voice, so I can embrace you with songs.
Not Croatia's prime minister trying to hold a speech in the assembly for the past hour and continously being interrupted by the opposition who is basically doing We Will Rock You on their desks all throughout it, making it impossible for anyone to hear what Plenković is saying. The livestream is glorious. He do be speaking, but none of us can hear him 😂😂😂
I had the pleasure to work on a bunch of little ammonite portraits some time ago for a new paper that was just published.
Before you ask: no we don't know if their soft tissue looked like this. We know every little about the soft bits of these animals. However if you take into account the myriad of different shell shapes and the diversity of modern cephalopods you will see that there is so much more possible than what you usually see.
These are all from the same region and a handful of localities, and yet you can see how diverse they could get, and we didn't even touch the really crazy ones here.
