Normally, the Atacama Desert in Chile, receives less than 12 mm of rain a year. However in the years when rainfall is unusually high, between September and November, this can happen. It's called «desierto florido».
Hard to believe this guy who was running with his shoes untied at a York Region high school track meet more than a decade ago, went on to be Canada's most decorated Olympian ever. Andre De Grasse what a legend.
If you watch one thing today, please make it this from @Lawrence I implore you. Absolute fire. 🔥
Dragonflies fun facts - Just one dragonfly can consume over 100 mosquitos in a day - Dragonflies can fly backwards - They have nearly 360° vision - Their wings inhibit bacterial growth due to their natural structures - They're actually beautiful
Now people say: "that's what they claimed afterwards". Nope. Here's what they said before. So now we have: - A statement before explaining it was about greek gods. - An art critic explaining the same - The art director explaining the same Get over it! x.com/Olympics/statu…
The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings. #Paris2024 #OpeningCeremony
Many people saying the organization admitted it was the last supper. Well, they are wrong. Here is Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the opening ceremony, explaining that the explanation in this thread was indeed correct. x.com/PedderSophie/s…
Was it the Last Supper? “That wasn’t my inspiration”, replies Thomas Jolly, artistic director of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. The scene portrayed Dionysus, god of wine and festivities, at “a big pagan festival linked to the gods of Olympus”
Finally, it's true that the Olympics didn't shy away from celebrating diversity in love and race. But if you think that's wrong, I think that's on you. France showed us they are free, cultured and secular, and I am here for it!
And Marie Antoinette's revolutionary song (singing "the aristocrats we'll hang them") after being beheaded was not anti-Christian either. It was simply a festival of color and sound with a nod to a famous moment in French history.
I think the opening ceremony was beautiful, cultured, and a celebration of freedom. It was not a bland US Coca Cola commercial but something more artful and playful. For me it's a reason to love the French even more.
But even if it was: this is the country where Voltaire (actually Evelyn Beatrice Hall, but let's leave that alone for now) famously stressed freedom of expression. I would have been *disappointed* if they kept everything commercial, shallow and middle of the road.
First: I know, that some people in the Olympic organization seem to be confused themselves and have apologized for depicting the last supper. But I hope we can all agree that the art director wasn't confused and this is the obvious explanation of the tableau vivant.
Here ends the translation. But I want to add a few tweets of my own.
All in all, this depiction of Bijlerts piece of art seems fitting, since its about the gathering of the Greek gods on mount Olympus and this is where the Olympic games originate.
So this tableau vivant is in no way an insult to Christians. If anything one might claim that the pagan gods are insulted because the often somewhat effeminate Apollo is depicted as a plus-sized woman.
Jan Hermansz van Bijlert (Utrecht 1597/98-1671) was a Dutch painter who is considered one of the Utrecht Caravaggists, 17th-century artists who traveled to Italy as part of their training and came under the strong influence of the works of Caravaggio.
There certainly is some resemblance with "The Last Supper' by da Vinci from 1495. Van Bijlert was apparently inspired by it to depict a heathen feast.
