♪ Erik Satie, "Gnossienne No. 1 (Robert Ritchiesse) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gt7q70TwB4

First, the sound of the piece by this miraculous guitar.
Second, the slow pacing that gives the piece significantly more subtlety and depth. Its fraility shines in a way I didn't hear before.

♪ Philip Glass, "Mishima Closing" (Multiphonic Saxophone Quartet) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkJjgDBNAu4

Originally composed for strings, this upbeat and faster version feels more "floating by precision". Perhaps it's the recording location, a colliery next to the town I lived in my youth.

I feel so utterly depressed by how the Trumpe regime spits into face of the Ukrainian people while our European nations didn't heed the warnigns and rearmed quickly. Now only European nations collectively entering the war on Ukraine's side would help. Which won't happen.

How I despise former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. It was her doing that prevented Ukraine's NATO membership in 2008; that financed the Russian military through oil and gas purchases from Russia; the Minsk 1 & 2 "agreements"; the weak sanctions on Russia after Crimea 2014.

This catastrophe is on you, Angela Merkel. You, like Trump now, acted like an asset of the Russian Federation. Are you proud of your doing? Still smiling, bitch? Rot in hell.

Europe faces this choice: Stand aside as T betrays Ukraine and forces her to capitulate. Or keep supporting Ukraine and enter the kinetic war against Russia. But regardless how Europe decides, one thing is clear: Never again trust the U.S.!

Jeremy Sharon, "Updated Gaza data shows famine claims likely inflated by UN-backed monitor" https://www.timesofisrael.com/updated-gaza-data-shows-famine-claims-likely-inflated-by-un-backed-monitor/

«The figures released last month by the Global Nutrition Cluster’s State of Palestine department, along with mortality statistics from the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, raise serious doubts about the findings of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification system (IPC) famine monitoring organization over the summer, though experts say devastating malnutrition was still rampant in the Strip, even if not at levels previously claimed.

The October data from the nutrition cluster shows that malnutrition levels in Gaza in July and August were some 23 percent lower than figures used by the IPC to underpin a declaration of famine. At the same time, while figures on “malnutrition-related deaths” spiked in that period, the level of excess mortality appears to have been greatly below what would be expected during a famine.

Israeli analysts acknowledge that even if the strict parameters of famine were not breached, the humanitarian situation in Gaza was extremely difficult and remains so, with hundreds of thousands of people suffering from deprivation of food, poor sanitary conditions, and limited access to healthcare, not to mention the traumas of a two-year war.

[...]

“The whole famine narrative is used to accuse Israel of deliberate starvation,” said Mark Zlochin, an independent data analyst who has closely monitored the IPC’s reports and drew attention to the new data when it was published in mid-October.

“No one serious would argue that there was not hunger in Gaza. If that hunger is a result of the war then it is serious, but something which happens all around the world… But the claim is that Israel deliberately starved a civilian population not involved in war,” said Zlochin.

A charge of deliberate starvation could exacerbate allegations of genocide and crimes against humanity already taken up by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.

But figuring out whether or not there actually was a famine at the levels claimed by the IPC could be critical in determining if those charges gain purchase, Zlochin argued.»

So even if you take the biased numbers of the Gaza-ISIS as base you cannot declare a famine in the Gaza Strip. But that's obviously of no interest to western supporters and collaborators of the Palestinians.

♪ George Thorogood & The Destroyers, "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L4zro-2dZQ

From the debut album of 1977. This famous rendition is actually a blend of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" by John Lee Hooker (1966) – who adapted it from the 1950s version by Rudy Toombs and Amos Milburn – and another John Lee Hooker song, "House Rent Boogie", from 1951.

I keep being skeptical about a near Half-Life 3 launch. The main reason is that I don't see other game companies already pushing their games as bargains on Steam in anticipation of such a launch that would surely devastate their revenues for a long time.

Regaining the understanding that books in themselves are bare, naked, even banal, and that their place on the shelves, in the neighbourhood of others, lends them meaning and gravitas. There are no books for the island. There is only the floating form that is attached to and displayed by the shelves.

Reading a column in The Atlantic (Oct. 2025) on Black Sabbath and Spinal Tap II, I encounter the word "bathos". I had to grin because other than its usual meaning associations with "bad", "ethos", and "bardo" sprang to mind. We should keep "bathos" to signfy this particular confluence of circumstances.

Ilva Eigus' violin almost sounds like flute. In the Allegro energico she plays as forceful and precise as if she has been a pupil of Leonid Kogan. Wonderful!
