Sirius: Regulus on a scale of "draw me like one of your French girls" to "bye felicia" how are you felling today?

Regulus: I feel something between "'tis but a scratch" and "she doesn't even go here"

James (confused): What?

Remus (Welsh): I speak two languages, that's not one of them.

Peter (Spanish): Better not to question it.

On this day, 8 April 2013, former Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher died. Street parties broke out across the UK, particularly in working class areas and in former mining communities which were ravaged by her policies. Her legacy is best remembered for her destruction of the British workers' movement, after the defeat of the miners' strike of 1984-85. This enabled the drastic increase of economic inequality and unemployment in the 1980s. Her government also slashed social housing, helping to create the situation today where it is unavailable for most people, and private property prices are mostly unaffordable for the young. Thatcher also complained that children were "being cheated of a sound start in life" by being taught that "they have an inalienable right to be gay", so she introduced the vicious section 28 law prohibiting teaching of homosexuality as acceptable. Abroad, Thatcher was a powerful advocate for racism, advising the Australian foreign minister to beware of Asians, else his country would "end up like Fiji, where the Indian migrants have taken over". She hosted apartheid South Africa's head of state, while denouncing the African National Congress as a "typical terrorist organisation". Chilean dictator general Augusto Pinochet, responsible for the rape, murder and torture of tens of thousands of people, was a close personal friend. Back in Britain, she protected numerous politicians accused of paedophilia including Sir Peter Hayman, and MPs Peter Morrison and Cyril Smith. She also lobbied for her friend, serial child abuser Jimmy Savile, to be knighted despite being warned about his behaviour. Margaret Thatcher was eventually forced to step down after the defeat of her hated poll tax by a mass non-payment campaign. Pictured: Jimmy Savile welcoming Thatcher to hell, reportedly.

Days before Salvador Allende’s confirmation as Chile’s president in 1970, US President Richard Nixon met with a rightwing Chilean media mogul to discuss blocking the socialist leader’s path to the presidency, newly declassified documents have revealed. The documents, published in a new Spanish edition of the Pinochet files by archivist and writer Peter Kornbluh, include Nixon’s agenda for 15 September 1970, which shows a meeting in the Oval Office with Agustín Edwards, the owner of the conservative El Mercurio media group. A day earlier, Edwards had met CIA director Richard Helms. Notes from that conversation detail the media baron’s observations on various members of the military, prompting Nixon to request a “gameplan” for a coup that would prevent Allende’s inauguration. Allende had won a slender victory over rival Jorge Alessandri in presidential elections, but with no clear majority, the electoral system at the time required congress to ratify the candidate who would form a government. In secret, and with the support of President Nixon’s White House, a plan was hatched for the military to seize power, dissolve congress and block Allende’s inauguration. Alongside munitions and payments, Edwards conveyed the military’s demands for “clear and specific guarantees” as well as “assurances they would not be abandoned and ostracized”, according to a memorandum entitled “Conversation with Agustín Edwards, Owner of El Mercurio Chilean Newspaper Chain, 18 September 1970”, which had previously been heavily redacted. “It is incredible that, 50 years later, we’re still learning key details of how the US were trying to block, thwart, undermine and destabilise the first elected socialist president in Chile,” said Kornbluh.

I purchased The Old Man Who Read Love Stories by Luis Sepúlveda, translated by Peter Bush, in a small bookshop in Buenos Aires in Fall 2022. Sepúlveda, an Chilean author who lived in exile in Spain for much of his life, had been one of the first causalities of Covid-19. My body and heart were still smarting from everything we had endured and were still enduring, the grief, the rising denial. But it had been recommended to me as a fundamentally uplifting story, romantic, powerful.

It didn't disappoint. Antonio José Bolivar Proaño is an old man now, dispensing wisdom with his keen, hard-taught knowledge of the Ecuadoran jungle he lives in. He grates against the local settlers, men who refuse to respect the landscape around them. Nearby kills by an ocelot force him and the rest of the town into action, hunting down the animal that seems to have caught the taste of blood. The book is so short, yet epic. It captures the Shuar indigenous people through Antonio, who is adopted into their community for a long period of his life. It captures the battle between man and nature, a battle that doesn't need to exist, that doesn't need to be settled with the brutal, final violence that the settlers use. Antonio is an enchanting character for the ages, and he carries the book with a sense of resounding sadness but also a feeling of determined hope.

"It came on me like a flash".

Halloa! I finally have time to read the second part of "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy" and honestly, this felt like being hitted by a train. Too many surprises!!!

So this marital boss-employee discussion evolved into a war between generals. Bertie with the (not so good, in my opinion) idea of using a bag of flour versus Jeeves with (totally criminal!) idea of provoking an accident to Sippy. I was expecting to Jeeves coming with a more carefully detailed plan, or at least something not so risky and Bertie doing something dangereous but sometimes the switch places naturally.

“Jeeves,” I said, “I would be the last man to accuse you of dithering, but this is not like you. It is not the old form, Jeeves. You are losing your grip. It might be years before Mr. Sipperley had a serious injury.” “There is that to be considered, sir.”

I can't believe I'm writing this but, Bertie is right. Let's see how work each plan.

Now, setting a booby-trap for a respectable citizen like a head master (even of an inferior school to your own) is not a matter to be approached lightly and without careful preparation. I don’t suppose I’ve ever selected a lunch with more thought than I did that day. And after a nicely-balanced meal, preceded by a couple of dry Martinis, washed down with a half bot. of a nice light, dry champagne, and followed by a spot of brandy, I could have set a booby-trap for a bishop.

Bertie is 70% alcohol and 30% food. No neurons working there. Maybe that's why his idea didn't worked.

I was amazed. The last time I had seen old Sippy, you must remember, he had had all the appearance of a man who didn’t know it was loaded. Haggard. Drawn face. Circles under the eyes. All that sort of thing. And now, not much more than twenty-four hours later, he was simply radiant. His eyes sparkled. His mobile lips were curved in a happy smile. He looked as if he had been taking as much as will cover a sixpence every morning before breakfast for years.

Let me guess, Jeeves plan worked.

Wait, did it worked? What the hell?!?!?

“Eh? What? Can’t stop, Bertie, can’t stop. Only looked in to tell you the news. I’m taking Gwendolen to tea at the Carlton. I’m the happiest man in the world, Bertie. Engaged, you know. Betrothed. All washed up and signed on the dotted line. Wedding, June the first, at eleven a.m. sharp, at St. Peter’s, Eaton Square. Presents should be delivered before the end of May.”

Congrats, Sippy!!!! In another question, are you ok?

“Well, it’s a long story. Much too long to tell you now. Ask Jeeves. He came along with me, and is waiting outside. But when I found her bending over me, weeping, I knew that a word from me was all that was needed. I took her little hand in mine and⁠—” “What do you mean, bending over you? Where?” “In your sitting-room.” “Why?” “Why what?” “Why was she bending over you?” “Because I was on the floor, ass. Naturally a girl would bend over a fellow who was on the floor. Goodbye, Bertie. I must rush.”

[swears in chilean] What the fuck did you do, Jeeves? Did you strike him with the vase? Or it was an accident?

“Not altogether, sir. Before telephoning to Miss Moon, I took the further liberty of striking Mr. Sipperley a sharp blow on the head with one of your golf-clubs, which was fortunately lying in a corner of the room. The putter, I believe, sir. If you recollect, you were practising with it this morning before you left.”

THIS MAN IS A PUBLIC DANGER!!!

Bertie, I don't know how can you live with him, I knew Jeeves had all the potencial to be a villain and this story is my proof. It's fun to see Jeeves doing the dangerous stuff while Bertie is the one with a bit o common sense. They share one neuron and usually Jeeves is the one that keeps it most of the time.

“I informed him that your new vase had fallen on him, sir.” “Why on earth would he believe that? The vase would have been smashed.” “The vase was smashed, sir.” “What!” “In order to achieve verisimilitude, I was reluctantly compelled to break it, sir. And in my excitement, sir, I am sorry to say I broke it beyond repair.”

That was so clever! He could make something like Bertie and use the vase to strike Sippy, but there was a chance that the vase fell over another person or break it is bigger pieces that could be glued together. Reginald Jeeves won this match. And Bertie's plan?

I galloped up the stairs and dashed in at the door. And something squashy fell on my neck, and the next minute the whole world was a solid mass of flour. In the agitation of the moment I had gone in at the wrong door; and what it all boils down to is that, if any more of my pals get inferiority complexes, they can jolly well get rid of them for themselves. Bertram is through.

Jeeves is the MVP!

I pronounce it like Georg von Trapp - at least the way it’s pronounced in the movie The Sound of Music, “gay-org,” which may not be the normal way to say it if you’re Austrian, but then again, I don’t even know if the cave is in Austria.

The Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini, who has died aged 82, was one of the giants of the keyboard in the second half of the 20th century, and yet for all the respect he commanded, his playing was criticised throughout his career for being excessively cool and cerebral. When he took first prize at the 1960 Chopin competition in Warsaw, the chairman of the jury, Artur Rubinstein, declared: “That boy plays better than any of us jurors.” But that success proved to be only the prelude to the first controversial event of his career. He withdrew from the international concert circuit for 18 months to broaden his repertoire and develop other cultural interests. It was not until nearly the end of the decade that his performance schedule achieved a normal rhythm, but his full return in 1968, coinciding with a contract signed with the Deutsche Grammophon (DG) label, launched a series of triumphs on the concert platform and in the recording studio.

Classic recordings of Chopin Etudes, of music by Schumann and Beethoven, and of modernist repertoire such as Pierre Boulez’s Second Sonata consolidated his reputation and, at its best, Pollini’s playing combined expressive but unsentimental intimacy, tonal beauty, textural clarity and a formidable technique. Particularly in his later years, Pollini’s breathless, impatient delivery of Beethoven’s sonatas often seemed to deny their rhetoric, as though he was embarrassed by large romantic gestures or overt emotionalism.

Pollini’s cerebral instincts appeared to deprive him of the ability to live in the moment: romantic subjectivity, it seemed, had constantly to be interrogated.

Pollini was born in Milan. His father, Gino Pollini, was one of Italy’s leading architects of the interwar period; his mother, Renata (nee Melotti), who had studied singing and piano, was the sister of the modernist sculptor Fausto Melotti. Such a background, in which “old works and modern works co-existed together as part of life”, as Pollini later put it, was to have a formative influence on his own approach to art. The discovery of his musical talent led to lessons with Carlo Lonati and Carlo Vidusso (from 1955 at the Milan conservatory) and various competition successes prior to Warsaw. His 1963 London debut, playing Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto with the LSO under Colin Davis, was criticised by the Times as “rushed” and over-impetuous.

Peter Andry, the responsible executive at EMI in the early 1960s, told in his autobiography, Inside the Recording Studio (2008), of the pursuit of the 19-year-old who had just won the prestigious Warsaw competition: “We quickly signed the young Italian, a slender, bespectacled young man with an elongated brow but a very pleasant manner.” One of their first (and only) projects together was a recording of the two sets of Chopin Etudes, Opp 10 and 25. It was not long after this that Pollini appeared to suffer a crisis of confidence. EMI sent him off to study for two years with the pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, but even as his musicality deepened, and reviews were often complimentary, Pollini retreated from the spotlight. He refused to allow the Etudes to be released – though this was in part because DG, shortly to sign Pollini as an exclusive artist, wanted to make their own version. The EMI sets were finally released only in 2011 (on Testament), winning plaudits for their spontaneity and freshness.

It was also in the 60s that music and politics first became intertwined in Pollini’s career. A friendship with a fellow-student, Claudio Abbado, a like-minded leftwing idealist, led them to seek radical ways of bringing classical music to factory workers, including a cycle of concerts at La Scala for employees and students. Another friendship, with the Marxist avant garde composer Luigi Nono, was equally important, resulting in the commission of two pieces for Pollini, including one for piano, voice and tapes, commemorating an assassinated Chilean revolutionary. Pollini’s radical outlook remained with him throughout his career, as did his intellectual approach to art and life. If too often that cerebralism seemed at odds with the heroic or passionate romantic sensibility of the music he played, there were compensations: the visionary gleam in a Chopin miniature; the anticipation of modernism in the ghostly finale of the same composer’s Second Piano Sonata.

Even when declining physical stamina took its toll in later recitals, Pollini commanded admiration of a sort for his continued willingness to pit himself against some of the most demanding works in the repertoire. The breathless impatience of his foreshortened phrases was unsettling, but glimpses of the old magic were still in evidence. The programming of his five-concert series The Pollini Project at the Royal Festival Hall, spread over five months in 2011 – which moved from Bach, through late Beethoven and Schubert to Chopin, Schumann, Liszt and Debussy to modernists such as Stockhausen and Boulez – represented a personal statement about landmarks in the history of piano music.

His interpretation of Boulez’s Second Sonata, notable for its precision and explosive energy, but also for its lyricism and Debussy-influenced pointillism, remains without peer. Stravinsky’s Petrushka likewise drew from him an incomparable muscularity coupled with tonal clarity that was ideally incisive rather than brutal. If Pollini’s playing was controversial, it was so because it explored the dichotomy of intellect and emotion fundamental to music-making.

He is survived by his wife, Marilisa (nee Marzotto), whom he married in 1968, and their son, Daniele.

From NBC News:

March 12, 2024, 7:43 AM EDT / Updated March 13, 2024, 4:19 AM EDT

By Mithil Aggarwal, Peter Guo and Matteo Moschella

A passenger has told NBC News about the dramatic incident in which people aboard a Boeing flight were thrown into the ceiling, as authorities probed what caused the plane's sudden mid-air plunge.

More than a dozen people were rushed to the hospital Monday and at least 50 were injured when a LATAM Airlines flight traveling from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand, experienced a “strong shake,” officials said.

Authorities in New Zealand said Tuesday they were seizing the black boxes from the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which had been due to continue on to Santiago, Chile.

"Everything was going well," said passenger Brian Jokat, who was sitting in a window seat as the flight headed toward New Zealand. “Then, all of a sudden, the plane took a nosedive down.”

“People were flying out of their seats, hitting the roof, being thrown back four or five aisles back,” Jokat, 61, said in a telephone interview.

Jokat said that while he had his seat belt on, the passenger in the aisle seat of his row didn’t.

“I saw him lying on the ceiling looking down at me,” he said. “He was fully out-stretched,” Jokat said. “And then, bang, I looked behind and everyone was falling off the ceilings.”

Jokat said the seat belt, which he rarely wears at cruising altitude, saved him from the injuries.

“But those days are over. I will always keep my seat belt on,” he said. “Because what I saw in that plane was people flying like rag dolls.”

LATAM Airlines Flight LA800 was carrying 263 passengers and nine crew members, the Santiago-based airline said in a statement Tuesday. The flight landed at its scheduled time of 4:26 p.m. Monday (11:26 p.m. Sunday ET) in Auckland after its 2-hour, 42-minute flight.

The plane "experienced a strong shake whose causes are being investigated," the airline said.

Emergency services treated about 50 patients, 12 of whom were taken to the hospital, New Zealand’s emergency medical service provider, Hato Hone St John Ambulance, said in a statement Monday.

The airline said that most of those were discharged shortly after and that only two people needed medical attention, “but without any life-threatening risks.”

The pilot told the passengers the plane had suffered equipment failure for a few seconds, causing it to drop for almost 500 feet in the air, Jokat said. “He said, ‘My gauges went down; everything went down for one or two seconds, and they just lit up again and continued to function,’” Jokat added.

“Some people broke right through the ceiling. So you can see all the wires inside,” Jokat said.

New Zealand’s Transport Accident Investigation Commission said on Tuesday it was seizing the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder of a LATAM Airlines (LTM.SN) Boeing (BA.N) 787 after an incident that left more than 50 people injured.

Damaged overhead panels inside the LATAM Airlines plane. Brian Jokat

New Zealand’s Transport Accident Investigation Commission, which is investigating, said in a statement Tuesday that it was “seizing the cockpit voice and flight data recorders.”

Chile has appointed a representative to participate in the investigation, the Chilean aviation authority said Monday on X.

"We are thinking of the passengers and crew from LATAM Airlines Flight 800, and we commend everyone involved in the response effort," Boeing said in a statement Tuesday, adding that it was in "contact with our customer" and will support "investigation-related activities."

The plane manufacturer has been under fire for multiple safety incidents and technical snags in recent months.

Most notably, the door panel of an Alaska Airlines flight blew out midair over Portland, Oregon, on Jan. 5, prompting a criminal investigation by the Justice Department.

Last week, a tire came off a United Airlines flight shortly after it took off from San Francisco, hitting cars parked near the airport.

A Boeing 737-900 plane flown by United Airlines made an emergency landing in Texas after bright orange flames were seen shooting out of its engine.

And an investigation is underway after another Boeing-made plane flown by United suffered “stuck” rudder pedals at Newark Airport in New Jersey last month.

music tag game

let’s do this, me gustan estos jueguitos musicales (sobre todo si este da la chance de hablar de música un rato)

tagged by @kamiporterbridges

RULES: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of  music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 10  songs, and then tag 10 people. No skipping!

1.- Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast: Absolute classic, quintessential Maiden, it fucking slaps

2.- David Wise - Dragon Forest (Diddy Kong Racing OST): David Wise is the representation of that meme of the dude playing a piano on fire in the beach after a simple request, in this case, “it’s just a mascot racer with funny animals”. But the dude excels at what he does, and that stint with Rare in the mid to late 90′s its iconic for a reason.

Also, Diddy Kong Racing was better than Mario Kart 64, and y’all know its true

3.- Koji Kondo - Goron City (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time OST): Dude’s a legend, music’s great, one of the best VGOST of all time

4.- Marillion - Lavender: I think Marillion’s one of the most underrated prog rock bands, especially of the 80′s. And that A Side of the Misplaced Childhood album it’s amazing (with Pseudo-Silk Kimono, Kayleigh, Lavender, Bittersweet Suite and Heart of Lothian). Also, Fish’s a cool dude and has an amazing voice (think a scottish Peter Gabriel if you’ve never heard him)

5.- Johnny Cash - The Mercy Seat: Originally by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, re-recorded by Johnny Cash for the American Recordings albums. I mean, the original its great, but like with all those covers, Johnny Cash just took the song and made it his own and something truly special, and it’s one hell of a performance. It speaks about a death row inmate and draw parallels with spirituality and christianity (the title makes reference to both the electric chair and the lid of the Ark of the Covenant), so it was a tailor made for Johnny Cash, who also used the song to raise awareness against capital punishment

6.- Los Jaivas - Corre que te Pillo: a kinda sorta instrumental, but technically not one ‘cause it does have some words, it’s just a great sample of musical talent and of the prog rock meets jazz meet traditional andean music and chilean folklore that Los Jaivas does

7.- Tristania - My Lost Lenore: I like gothic metal, it kinda soothes and relaxes me, and Vibeke Stene’s voice is just lovely

8.- Jorn - Make Your Engine Scream: Jorn Lande’s got a great voice and his music slaps, what more do you need

9.- Frederik Wiedmann - Hal vs Atrocitus (Green Lantern: The Animated Series soundtrack): Wiedmann its an underrated composer, he’s done a lot of animated stuff with superheroes, but his work in Green Lantern: TAS -like everything with that show- went under the radar of many people 

10.- The OneUps - Bossa de Link: In that huge and great genre that its “jazz covers of VGM”, The OneUps are one of the greatests bands and one of the first I discovered over 15 years ago, and this bossa nova cover of the main theme of The Legend of Zelda its pretty good

Tagging whoever wants to do it, here’s your chance, talk about music for a while, have some fun!
