The philosophical language of materialists is rarely up to the task of expressing their actual felt & embodied existence. This is perhaps nowhere more apparent than when experiencing grief.

Hence the return of religion, haunting the funerals of atheists, like King Hamlet's ghost

#Taldiacomahir de 1717 Felip V obligà als ciutadans del barri de la Ribera de Barcelona a marxar del barri i enderrocar ells mateixos les seves pròpies cases, portant-ne la pedra a la Ciutadella per aixecar els murs de la fortalesa. Desaparegueren 1.015 cases i 42 carrers. Fil 📜

Finished The Wire. I realize: it is the greatest masterpiece of tv drama of all. The dialogue. The characters inc the villains PropJo Omar Mcnulty the scary Snoop. the worlds told. The flawless acting. the courage. It does resemble the 19C novel cycles of a balzac or a zola.

Incredible display of zealot's corner

Day 788 of my 3 day war. All aid money will stolen by Zelensky but also be spent on weapons. This is an escalation but also makes no difference. Russia, who are nice don’t kill civilians, may also end humanity with nukes.

I remain a master strategist.

I nakon svih ovih ratnih grozota 90ih nejasno mi je da postoje još neki pojedinci koji nam prijete novim ratom ako ne 'dogodine', onda 2040ih - sad su to smislili

Make sure to review Kant’s rules for dinner parties so that you’re ready to celebrate his 300th birthday on Monday

What happens at dinner, stays at dinner.

Hoy es un buen dia para recordar que Arias Navarro se ofreció a Estados Unidos para atacar Portugal por la espalda al ver la transcendencia del 25 de Abril de 1974.

Contrary to some, I don't see the present as akin to 1930's. Due to pre-nuclear v nuclear conditions, & absence of Nazi Germany equivalent, capable of overrunning regions quickly. Yet similar politically: bitterness of efforts to turn prudential questions into loyalty tests.

International law has a framework for war and counterinsurgency, it has absolutely nothing to justify apartheid, which is why you basically can't describe Israeli rule in the West Bank without accidentally condemning the state.

Aquest Sant Jordi 'La Garba' ja no vendrà llibres. Va tancar fa poques setmanes, incapaç de fer front a un lloguer de 2.500 euros. Reoberta el 2019, els seus orígens es remuntaven a 1968. Era la darrera llibreria de la Barceloneta.

I així és com va morint l'ànima d'una ciutat.

G M Tamás remarked 4 years ago that Orbán's anti-Brussels rhetoric is the direct descendant of old Hungary's anti-Vienna rhetoric in the dual monarchy era. The Leutha is still the dividing line, but opponens are now 'servants' of Habsburg Empire extended to the whole of EU.

Quan de fet ja s'havien convertit en una trama urbana contínua, #taldiacomavui de 1897 Barcelona s'annexà tots els municipis del pla (excepte Sarrià i Horta), doblant la població fins al 509.589 habitants. Plànol oficial de 1891 amb els límits municipals en groc. Fil 📐 | 📷 ICGC

Kdor poziva k premirju, a se ni pripravljen resno spoprijeti s tem vprašanjem, je mirovnik le po imenu – v resnici pa šarlatan. 🔐

Pospravljamo po mami.

Imela je prenosni kisik. Za tiste, ki ne morejo brez dodatnega kisika.

Zadeva ni pocen, je stara 2 leti in dela.

Nočemo ga prodat, pozna kdo koga, ki ga rabi ali pa si bo s tem zboljšal lajf in si ga ne more privoščit?

So loving this. A way to understand a new history you thought u knew. This period was left out of the history i learned coz the Roman empire had ended. But this is impt and gripping. Recommended

Italy’s public debt-to-GDP ratio began to diverge sharply from that of its €zone peers only in the 1980s, when it rose from 54.0% in 1980 to more than 100% in 1992 - in early 1980s, the Banca d'Italia and the finance ministry 'divorced', government borrowing costs rose strongly.
