Today is November 9th, a German date. Horrific things and beautiful events happened on this day. Books were written about it. It was also the birthday of my partly German father, who died two years ago. I miss you, Dad!

Does anyone know if the World Economic Forum (WEF) also has a calendar?
A tear-off calendar you can give as a gift to people who believe in a global conspiracy. To tease with.
It lists all the upcoming events (Great Reset, COVID epidemic etc.) the World Economic Forum is lashing humanity with.

‘Girl walking’, (1897), Max Liebermann, coll. Museum Singer Laren, The Netherlands.
In the late 19th century, the Impressionist Liebermann often visited the Dutch artists' village of Laren, where he captured the simple rural life.

Banana art remains popular. A banana vulva by Danish artist Thyra Hilden sold for (just) €12,000 at the Enter Art Fair in Copenhagen.
Hilden (female) is making a humorous reference to (man) Maurizio Cattelan's Comedian (banana with duct tape), which once sold for €120,000 at auction in 2019.
