Pardon me while I immediately pin this to my account.

Meme using a still from Star Trek: the Next Generation.

Picard stands on the left of the Enterprise bridge, head bent over in weary, barely-holding-it-together tolerant patience. He is labeled "People who follow me for one topic."

On the right is Q, fronting for an entire mariachi band, lustily blowing into a trumpet. He is labeled "The rest of my interests."

I'm sorry, folks.

"Qué deleznable era el pasado, se desmoronaba sin cesar, se le venía encima".

Puntos extra a la #Ferrante o #CeliaFilipetto, autora de la #traducción, por usar "deleznable" en un sentido que hacia yo ya olvidado: "Que se rompe, disgrega o deshace fácilmente".

@melibeadora yo estuve años resistiéndome por aquello de que no podía ser tan buena y cómo no será la cosa que me compré el tercer volumen de la saga antes de terminarme el segundo.

Me extrañaría que no hubiera algún que otro "vosotros" en la novela.

"Los hombres son así, pensaba, al menos los que yo conocí, tienen que chingar sin parar; si no, no son felices"

Chingar. No recuerdo si hay otras marcas vernáculas, pero #LasDeudasdelCuerpo de #ElenaFerrante, #traducción de #CeliaFilipetto, Penguin, 2018, es la primera traducción que veo que incorpora variedades de #español que no sean el #estándar #peninsular.

Please boost for reach. My dad wants a small computer for his birthday, to be used mainly for playing music in Winamp. As such, he doesn't need a real powerhouse. I've been looking at some approx. $150 stick computers on Amazon but some of them seem to get mixed reviews. He'd love Windows 10 as that's what we have on all our other PC's. He'd also love an audio output jack so he wouldn't need to use an external sound device, though I know that might be hard/impossible to find in this form factor. He's totally blind so it does need to run NVDA. He knows nothing about Linux, and I know nothing about Linux for this use case, so a Pi or similar that runs Linux isn't an option. Any recommendations?

Colegas en #LASA2023 , los invitamos a nuestra mesa redonda ‘Ecologías de la guerra y el posacuerdo en Colombia: aproximaciones desde el campo cultural’.

La sesión se hará en formato híbrido el próximo jueves 25 de 1:45pm - 3:15pm PDT. #LASA23

Culture, Power and Political Subjectivities Ecologías de la guerra y el posacuerdo en Colombia: aproximaciones desde el campo cultural Thu May 25 1:45PM-3:15PM (PDT) Juanita Bernal Benavides Presenter Rhodes College Daniel Coral Reyes Author Presenter University of California, Davis Julia Escobar Villegas Presenter Independent Scholar Carlos Gardeazabal Bravo Presenter Session Organizer University of Davton Constanza M. López Presenter University of North Florida Camilo A. Malagón Presenter Ithaca College Alejandro Quin Chair Presenter Session Organizer University of Utah Miguel L. Rojas Sotelo Presenter Duke University West Meeting Room 223

Esta mesa redonda busca indagar sobre las relaciones entre producción cultural y ecología en Colombia, dentro de un marco temporal definido por la larga historia del conflicto armado colombiano y el aún frágil horizonte transicional de posguerra abierto tras la firma del Acuerdo Final de Paz (2016) entre el estado y la guerrilla FARC- EP. En este contexto las preocupaciones de orden ecológico y ambiental han cobrado visibilidad tanto desde los estamentos institucionales comprometidos con la paz y la reconciliación, el Informe Final de la Comisión de la Verdad, la agenda ambientalista del nuevo gobierno, etc.) como desde una heterogénea gama de materiales y estéticas culturales que vienen reflexionando sobre el legado y las imbricaciones contemporáneas entre guerra, violencias sistémicas, ecología y medio ambiente. El objetivo de la mesa será discutir cómo la producción cultural colombiana reciente - en sus formulaciones literarias, visuales y/o performáticas-representa e interviene temas cruciales como las relaciones entre conflicto armado y medio ambiente, la militarización del paisaje, la naturaleza como víctima y sujeto de derechos, los conflictos socio- ambientales y el problema de la tenencia de la tierra. Nos interesa igualmente abordar la articulación de imaginarios ecológicos alternativos y posdesarrollistas que resisten los imperativos productivistas y los múltiples "estados de extracción" en el actual contexto transicional colombiano.

White person can barely communicate in another language = bilingual.

Person of colour becomes fluent in English = ESL

Funny how it works, eh?

Evolution of night trains for the Iberian peninsula

The image is two maps of France and the Iberian peninsula. One map, representing 2009, shows many (more than 10) night trains all across the map. The other map, representing 2022, shows a single night train from Paris to multiple points on the border between France and Spain.

@friede That was a lovely read, thanks.

24 December 1895. If magnificent stout lady who left Broad- way car at Hilton, Hughes & Co’s yesterday will walk down Broadway Thursday at 12, from 23rd street, the stout gentle- man with full beard who sat opposite will try and meet her.

have you joined over 500 colleagues in pledging support for the Temple Grads and not to work with Temple until they cease these unfair practices? https://chng.it/rkgQMGVK

But he also insists that you can only do all this if you do the reading: "it bears stressing that ... there is no way of doing such readings as mine, no way of understanding the 'structure of attitude and reference' except by working through the novel." But if you do the reading *right* you see how it's never self-contained: "But in reading it carefully, we can sense how ideas about dependent races and territories were held both by foreign-office executives, colonial bureaucrats, and military strategists and by intelligent novel-readers educating themselves in the fine points of moral evaluation, literary balance, and stylistic finish."

So if you're going to take the texts seriously, you better take the context seriously as well, and vice versa. There's some stuff in the chapter that I don't like, but it's hard to disagree with that and it seems to be the consensus.
