Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia




I read some good books in April, and some I won’t remember.
We used to have the Schmeisser monument in Sofia, commemorating the Soviet’s occupation (or liberation, depending on who you ask) of Bulgaria. Most of the giant monument, strategically located in front of the Turkish embassy, is still menacing there.
A few years ago, the top statue got torn apart and removed for “restoration”, and the entire area got surrounded with a wall, pending more decisive political times. The area behind the wall started turning into a jungle, like any space left unattended in Sofia. Now that Giro d’Italia is coming to Sofia, the wall suddenly became too expensive to keep. I thought it was gone and went to document the development but it didn’t, it just shrank, leaving behind Nature’s attempt to conquer the monument.

The big sign on the monument says “We want Bulgarian monument”.

I had no idea I’d made it that far. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and especially to those of you who visit frequently! I appreciate it 🎉
Before and after for M&M, soon after the market leader Milka started selling 87 gram chocolates (the norm here is 100 grams):

And if we keep the projection, we reach the quanta.
