Edmund Dulac (1882–1953) - The Conqueror Worm

from Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Bells and Other Poems', 1912

“. . . .Out—out are the lights—out all! And, over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, "Man," And its hero the Conqueror Worm.”

we've been doing this thing called "hitting the nosferatu" where you hunch your shoulders and walk towards things while pointing with a long creepy finger

saw a middle-aged man in a tshirt sobbing into his phone in a language i don't know. an ambulance pulled away from his building, the lights off on the empty roads. no one else in the park save for another errant wanderer and a laughing teenager with her dad, making mini-snowmen. there's nothing like the silence of fresh snow

President Ilham Aliyev: Armenia is actually a source of threat to the region

“Armenia is actually a source of threat to the region. The independent Armenian state is, in fact, a fascist state. Because, if this country has been led by proponents of fascist ideology for nearly 30 years, they have shaped this country the way they did,” the head of state pointed out. “We are neighbors with such a fascist state, and the threat of fascism is not going away. Therefore, fascism must be destroyed. Either the Armenian leadership will destroy it, or we will. We have no other choice,” the Azerbaijani leader added.

the EU, as a whole and as individual countries, has been wholly bought out by azerbaijan, both to enrich itself and for "strategic reasons," to isolate russia. ECHR rulings have been ignored, investigating teams purposefully don't do their work, charles michel and von der leyen shake aliyev's hand, and some states like italy have sold weaponry. notably, israel is a huge supporter of azerbaijan, selling a tremendous amount of arms and supplies (israel doesn't recognize the armenian genocide).

this is the most obvious, predictable, and therefore, in some sense, avoidable genocide looming on the horizon. it has been clear that azerbaijan aims to take syunik (the "zangezur corridor") first, then wipe armenia off the map, followed by ethnic cleansing. the morally-bankrupt values-oriented west is making zero attempt to stop what's coming, just as they didn't when it came to artsakh
