Het probleem van de twee pausen

In 1377 dus werden er twee pausen gekozen. Urbanus VI, paus van Rome en Clemens, paus van Avignon. Wat een zootje toch. Vlaanderen blijft adept van Rome, maar van het ogenblik dat Filips de Stoute, de hertog van Bourgondië, door zijn huwelijk graaf van Vlaanderen wordt, verzoekt hij de Vlamingen om de kant te kiezen van paus Clemens. Die van Frankrijk. De lokale adel voelt zich bereid om tot het…

Robert Graves: Strooptaart?

bron beeld: thefamouspeople.com Hieronder fragmenten uit het korte verhaal Strooptaart van schrijver Robert Graves (1895-1985). Graves was goed voor zo’n 140 werken waarvan de historische roman I, Claudius zijn bekendste is. Graves vond zichzelf meer dichter dan schrijver. Het nieuws reisde van groep naar groep langs het perron van Victoria Station en maakte bijna evenveel indruk op onze ouders…

They See Your Photos

For example…

The image shows a cluttered wooden desk, with various items scattered across its surface. In the foreground, there's a book titled "Origin of Time" by Stephen Hawking, alongside other items such as a pair of nail clippers, a pipe, and a pack of Zig-Zag rolling papers. The background includes a laptop, tablet, and numerous other miscellaneous objects that hint at a busy workspace. The overall setting appears to be an office or study, possibly in a home, based on the nature of the items present. The image also shows a blue microfiber cloth in a black case and a partially visible USB Hub.

The photo appears to be a candid shot, taken on March 26th, 2024, around 11:20 AM, using a Samsung SM-G781W device. The photo depicts an individual's workspace, revealing aspects of their intellectual and possibly creative pursuits. The individual's age, race, ethnicity, and economic status are not readily apparent, though the presence of books and sophisticated technology suggests someone with an interest in education and possibly a comfortable lifestyle. The presence of rolling papers suggests possible smoking habits. The scene shows a casual, possibly somewhat disorganized, workstyle.

Several finer details are not immediately apparent. There is a subtle contrast between the brightness of the left side of the image and the relative darkness of the right side, indicating the potential lighting conditions in the room. Additionally, there are various cords and cables, which, upon closer inspection, appear to be interconnected. The use of a pipe could reflect preferences and potentially even suggest the owner's age. The image itself doesn't give much information about the person but a lot about their everyday life.

Sad story alert featuring Charles Lindbergh:

Colonel Charles Lindbergh, along with being a Nazi sympathizer and into eugenics, also believed in the Watson method of parenting: parent children, even babies, like little adults.

I just read a biography about his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Anyway he instructed Anne to do things his way and not to cuddle the kids.

(Book: Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Her Life by Susan Hertog, 1999. Susan spent time with Anne).

The kids had strict schedules.

Bedtime was before he got home in the evening.

Their first child, Charlie, would toddle over to him and Charles would push him away literally. He took a cushion and knocked him down. He did it over and over until Charlie gave up.

Charles had his wife Anne learn to be his copilot after they married, and she was an aviator in her own right. In fact she won medals for her accomplishments in flying and wireless communications.

Not to mention she was a successful author.

But Charles would make Anna go on long trips while she was pregnant and her kids’ babyhoods. Especially the babyhood of Charlie.

When they got home he didn’t recognize his parents.

When Charlie was 20 months old he was kidnapped and murdered. (The Lindbergh Baby case)

Charles got over it suspiciously fast. He may have had something to do with it since Charlie was a sickly child with rickets.

(Actually there’s another book out on the subject. Called “Suspect No.1, by Lise Pearlman, 2020. I’m curious….)

Charles Lindbergh was a prankster too but his jokes were cruel and sadistic.

He had hid baby Charlie for 30 minutes in a closet at least once while Anne and the Nanny searched frantically for him.

For example , in college his roommate almost died because Charles gave him a glass of gasoline instead of water.

Charles got over Charlie’s death very quickly.

Anne did not. She died in 2001 at age 94, haunted forever.

She wasn’t one to talk about Charlie until her death.

She had 6 kids total with Charles and she didn’t discuss Charlie.

When the other kids were teenagers Charles would travel and be gone for months at a time.

When he came home he immediately became colonel Lindbergh and ordered his family around like troops.

When he would finally leave again Anne and the kids could breathe.

Charles was fond of saying “this is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship!”

2 years after Anne’s death, it was discovered that Charles Lindbergh had 3 secret families and 5 children in Europe.

Anne never knew this. But maybe she knew something…no one’s sure.

Charles purposely had these families because he believed his superior Aryan blood should be spread after the Germans lost WWII.

Anyway, it’s a fascinating story about Anne. I don’t know what to really think of her since she kept being loyal to Charles and letting him order her around, and people suffered. They had influence even though many people thought them villains around the war.

But she was always begging God for forgiveness for Charlie being taken under her nose and her complicity with Nazi party in the 30s. Her whole life was accommodating Charles.

She was a victim of Charles too i think. But her life revolved around him, so she couldn’t say this.

I don’t know. She was very complicated.

One more thing. When Charles died of cancer in the 70s, he wanted a natural burial in Hawaii. He wanted room for Anne for when her time came.

She was never buried with him, she was cremated. I hope she found peace, I do. I’m not sure she did.

Rest in peace baby Charlie . He died 92 years ago, March 1 1932.

Thomas Hartog cites this one:

You and I are out at the edge, the Origin of Time at the centre. For me, Prelkia adds the "what it's like to be there" 😅

An elucidation of Stephen Hawking's final theory on the evolution of the universe, written by his research partner of 20+ years. This is an enchanting review of the development and trends in the science of cosmology from classical theories through string theory, the multiverse, and holographic theories. Hawking's final theory is, at last, a conceptual framework based on the realities of the universe we inhabit. A very informative and interesting book.

The current theory of cosmic inflation is largely based on classical physics. This undermines its predictivity in a world that is fundamentally quantum mechanical. With this project we will develop a novel approach towards a quantum theory of inflation.

The Fifth Step

Exciting news!

The Fifth Step @sohoplace By David Ireland Starring Jack Lowden and Martin Freeman Neal Street Productions, Playful Productions and National Theatre of Scotland (NTS) are delighted to announce that David Ireland’s acclaimed new play The Fifth Step will transfer to London’s West End for a strictly limited season from 10 May until 26 July 2025. Originally performed as part of the Edinburgh International Festival 2024, this NTS production has been further developed for this West End premiere and the new opportunities for restaging that @sohoplace offers. Directed by rising star Finn den Hertog, associate artist at NTS, it will be a rare chance to see two of the UK’s most exciting acting talents in the intimacy of the in-the-round space @sohoplace. Jack Lowden reprises his performance as Luka and Martin Freeman will play the role of James in David Ireland’s funny and unflinchingly honest drama about addiction, masculinity and faith. Step 1: honesty. Step 2: faith. Step 3: surrender. Step 4: self-examination. After many years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James agrees to become the sponsor of newcomer Luka. On the journey to sobriety, the pair bond over black coffee, trade stories, and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. On the cusp of Step 5, their conversations must turn to confessionals, with progress hinging on Luka revealing secrets that could lead back to alcohol. But it’s clear that James also has dangerous truths in his past, truths that threaten the trust on which both their recoveries depend. @sohoplace 4 Soho Pl, Charing Cross Rd, London W1D 3BG 10 May-26 July Mon-Sat at 7.30pm Thu and Sat at 2.30pm Tickets from £25 (plus fees) available from 10am 23rd Jan www.thefifthstep.co.uk

I want to see this. 😵

And hey, didn't I get an ask about Martin doing theatre again a while ago? There is your answer. 😁
