I was out walking my dog when my phone, of its own accord, decided to play Adelina Patti's rendition of Voi che sapete. It was in my pocket at the time and all I could hear was the faint echo of a soprano voice, which I thought came from a nearby house.

Not completely sure what to think. This is certainly one of the best recordings overall, and Sass is spooky and scary in all the right ways, but what a strange vocal placement. I know Verdi said what he said, but. Also, the opera is called Macbeth and not Lady Macbeth. There must be a reason?...

Tr*mp has had very public crushes on men before. He has a type: slim, suave, 30-something, just won an election by surprise. He had a crush on Macron when he first met him, he'll have one on B*rdella if/when the time comes. Best not to read too much into it.

My main question about this is not why she wanders around wistfully singing the Proch Variations in front of a hollowed-out model of the Vienna opera house, but how and why the ballerinas come in.

Today is Gene Tierney's birthday, and I absolutely adore her, so here she is in one of the loveliest films ever.

You know what they say about abusers promising to change.
They don't. Never.
MTG swearing off the toxic politics is like Count Dracula promising to drink only mineral water (as long as it has lots of hemoglobin in it).

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

One of my neighbours has been playing the orchestral introduction to Casta Diva on a loop all evening, always breaking off just before the soprano comes in -- so I don't know which version they are playing. A particularly refined form of torture.

Moby Dick was published on this day in 1851, so today's bank note comes from Nantucket and features a large vignette of whalers in a longboat about to harpoon a spouting sperm whale.

When you fail to understand that Humbert Humbert is a monster, and that Jim Burden is *ten years old* when he meets the *significantly older* Antonia Shimerda, you don't deserve to be an English professor, let alone to teach at Harvard.

I am old enough to remember the 1970s, especially the latter part of the decade when I spent a lot of time in the UK, and I don't know if this makes me want to laugh or cry.
Also, I don't think I would have been happier as a cis gay man back in 1975, but somehow "most people" never means us.

There were rolling bin strikes throughout the 70s which left the streets groaning under piles of rubbish.

It says something about Bluesky that the first thing I noticed here was the impeccably tailored suit and, in particular, the lack of a collar gap.
