POV
Tu as présenté Mulholland Drive la veille et le hall de l’hôtel que tu dois quitter à 5h40 tient aussi absolument à rendre hommage à David Lynch.
Couloir d’hôtel avec sol en damier noir et blanc et murs à rayures noires et blanches (Juventus de Turin ou Colonnes de Buren, c’est selon).

How Close Did We Come to Losing Beowulf Forever?

Robert Bartlett on a Vital Work of the Western Canon That Barely Survived Multiple Disasters

Beowulf at PG:
www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/subje...

#books #literature #old_manuscripts
The first folio of the heroic epic poem Beowulf, written primarily in the West Saxon dialect of Old English. Part of the Cotton MS Vitellius A XV manuscript currently located within the British Library. This is a digital photographic copy of the folio. Text shown according to https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43521/beowulf-old-english-version: 

WE GARDE na in geardagum, þeodcyninga, [129] þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon. Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah, egsode eorlas. Then the feast was found, he asked for it, grew under the clouds, the gods, until each of those sitting around him heard the sound of the horn, gomban gyldan. That was a good king. After that, he was remembered, walking in the fields, the good one sent to the king; the fire on the king who had long been dead. His life, the ruler of the people, the lord of the world, was taken away; Beowulf was quick to spring forth, Scyld's son, into the lands of the dead. Thus shall men go forth to good deeds, from pious gifts to their fathers.

Disney World will update the Elsa, Anna and Kristoff animatronics in Frozen Ever After at EPCOT early next year. For the refresh, the animatronics will ditch the projection faces and get a look inspired by the figures featured at World of Frozen in Hong Kong Disneyland.

It's staggering how quickly a 2013 Hollywood speculative sci-fi romance movie became a documentary. I guess props to Spike Jonze for nailing it

The Shifflet Brothers are brilliant. The people and creatures have astonishing detail, and so lifelike. The one below is plausible as a thing that could actually exist.

Reading 📖, literacy, & critical thinking are probably the most valuable job skills in this moment of techno-fatalism and fascist hysteria.

Poems, Novels, & Memoirs are the strength training for the muscle of your imagination. Journalism is the cardio. Conversation the cooldown
