Someone living in New York said to me a few months ago that Europeans don’t really understand how violent America is. I think we’re beginning to catch on now.

One of the most unforgettable images capturing the vibrant promise of the new year, by the great Bauhaus artist László Moholy-Nagy: 7 A.M. (New Year's Morning), c. 1930 www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
Photograph shot from above, aka a bird's eye view, of an urban street with tram tracks, and three figures: a delivery man (perhaps for bread?0 on a bicycle, and a male and female couple walking arm in arm. The long shadows suggest it is early in the morning

From GDH Cole, The Simple Case for Socialism.
CHAPTER V FREEDOM AND CONDUCT WHAT SORT OF SOcIETY do we want? I know the sort I want. I want a society in which I shall have no cause to feel ashamed when I look my fellow-men in the face. I want a society in which no one is avoidably poor or miserable or stunted in mind or body, or desperately overworked, or denied the chance of working according to his abilities in the common service. I want a society in which children and old people are properly looked after and given a decent share in the product of those who are of working age. I want a society in which extremes of riches and poverty are both absent, and the idea of class-distinctions, as apart from distinctions of skill, brain-power, artistic or scientific capa-city, or sheer ordinary niceness or good looks, are quite unknown. I want a society in which, as far as possible, everybody gets a good chance, and those who are too feeble to profit by their chance get something more. That is a good deal; but I want more than that. I want people to enjoy freedom as well as material well-being. Material security goes, indeed, a long way towards the realisation of freedom; for when people are secure they enjoy therewith a far better chance of choosing their own ways of living than they can possibly have when they are continually worried about the future. But I want freedom in a still more positive sense than that-freedom to mix with the people one likes without class distinctions to create awkwardness or put artificial barriers in the way ; freedom not to bother about ceremonies or conventions whose usefulness

Proust knows us all so well.
If I had not been so determined to set seriously to work, I might have made an effort to start at once. But given that my resolve was unbreakable, given that within twenty-four hours, inside the empty frame of tomorrow where everything fitted so perfectly because it was not today, my best intentions would easily take material shape, it was really preferable not to think of beginning things on an evening when I was not quite ready - and of course the following days were to be no better suited to beginning things.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

When people say ‘climate change is a scam’ do they mean:

1. It’s not happening
2. It’s happening but doesn’t matter.
3. It’s happening and it matters but the steps we’re taking are ineffective?

Easy to have some sympathy with 3 but the conclusion should be to do more and better, not to give up.

What do you think when you see this hand sign? Live long and prosper? Well this is a headstone in the Jewish cemetery in Frankfurt maybe 400 years old. It’s the sign of the kohanim priestly blessing, which Leonard Nimoy is said to have remembered from his childhood, and which he adopted for Spock.

Greetings from the Mauritshuis in The Hague, and from what I think is one of the most moving pictures ever painted: likely Rembrandt's last self-portrait, dating to the year he died. The aged artist fixes us with a look of utter world-weariness www.mauritshuis.nl/en/our-colle...

Was asked the other day what can we do in such dark times. Of course we should find ways of resisting and speaking out. But also gave my generic advice. When unsure what to do, do what you think has the most chance of bringing joy to yourself and others and/or being of lasting value.

Got up at 4.15 am to go and see this. Break of dawn, Angkor Wat Cambodia. Highly recommended - apparently tourism still far below pre-COVID levels.
