The absence of what? Never heard of them and have no interest in finding out about them. Use public transport. Improve it, make it more affordable. Discourage and ultimately ban private cars, insofar as possible. We won’t be the ones who shall have ‘fallen behind’.
Will the absence of robotaxis in Europe mark the moment its citizens notice how far their continent has fallen behind?
Robotaxis will be the Sputnik Moment for a declining Europe

My favorite period of F. W. J. Schelling's writings are roughly the years from 1809 to 1818, which produced the Freedom Essay, The Ages of the World drafts, The Stuttgart Seminars (1810), Clara, and the Deities of Samothrace (1815)

In 2019, I asked Roger Norrington if he’d write an article for our Berlioz150 series. I received a brief response: “Yes I’ll try to do that for you, Mark. Sir R” A week later, an email: “Is this any good for you?” 950 perfect words followed.

Here is a man who truly lived for music: a pioneer with endless creative ideas and appetite for oceans of repertoire, and such zeal to share this with fellow musicians and audiences. Rest in piece, Sir Roger Norrington.

Sir Roger Norrington: pioneer, enthusiast, provocateur. I saw him conduct so many times, mostly with the OAE, always with a twinkle (and often with "jazz hands"!). His Beethoven cycle with his London Classical Players opened my ears to period instruments. RIP

About 95% Fanny Hensel's 450+ works were for voice and/or piano only (because sexism).
This is obviously sad for her--she wanted to write more for larger formats and other genres, but didn't get the support. (see: sometimes Felix was a little bitch)

3) Das Meer erglänzte weit hinaus (H335) - since you're making me choose, this is my favorite Hensel lied. I love anything that sounds like water... and this is about the shining sea, and then fog, and then longing and sadness. UGH IT'S TOO MUCH

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
