Brian Wilson, who died Wednesday at 82, was one of music’s true visionaries,
if that’s the right word for a guy who dealt in the endless possibility of sound.
As a composer of melodies, a constructor of textures, an arranger of vocal harmonies

— he was up there with Phil Spector, George Martin and the Motown team of Holland-Dozier-Holland.

Europe is exporting military dogs—used as weapons by Israel's elite forces. These dogs have been linked to civilian injuries and deaths, including children and people with disabilities. Doors forced open in the middle of the night, piercing cries for help, fangs sunk mercilessly into the flesh of victims. Children are torn from their mothers' arms, women scream for help, men collapse in agony, while apathetic soldiers just laugh as dogs tear bodies apart indiscriminately.

On expected #V2G returns: “Given the Netherlands’ more strained grid, Faton believes savings will be even higher there.”
Tough bet in a country where grid operators provide no financial incentives to residential customers to shift demand, let alone support the local grid with V2G.

Zwei Frauen erscheinen. Eine droht ihm mit körperlicher Gewalt, sollte er ihrer Mutter (die zweite Frau) nochmals den Mittelfinger zeigen. Er habe kein Recht dazu, sie aber schon, da er ein A--loch sei.
