To celebrate the centenary of the death of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, here is a photo of a model of Gaudí’s magnum opus, the Sagrada Família, which I took back in June 2017 just outside the doors of the basilica’s Passion façade.
At that time, only eight spires had been completed; since then 14 are done with the latest being Jesus’s tower back in February.

3. I continue to be vexed, bordering on apoplectic, about how many Harris campaign port-mortems fail to account for or even name the single, most obvious, most Occam-will-haunt-you-forever explanation for a Black woman losing a national election in the United States. I’m not saying that sexism racism is the whole story; I’m just saying that if you don’t even •mention• it, I am going to have trouble listening to anything else you say.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas are extraordinary musicians and their song “When the Party’s Over” is one of my favorite of theirs. The song sounds simple, but the multi-layered vocals and understated accompaniment serves to bring out the piece’s deep emotional story.
