'No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead.' T. S. Eliot, 'Tradition and the Individual Talent'

Can’t sleep. Oaip Mandelstam describes insomnia and Homer. A great poem.

1. Joseph Conrad’s wonderful late novella, “The Shadow-Line”, written in 1915, is one of my favourites. A short thread on historical, psychologising and metaphysical readings of this important text.

VI. L'amada és el dia ... sento q dins meu brolla la gelada naixença d'una alta flor llunyana, l'aigua és un dolor q canta sa victòria i el temps, una hora pura, és talment una poma q afeixuga ma falda... En mi sento la set dels tremolosos arbres! Agustí Bartra Màrsias i Adila

Today is Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, representing eight decades of a man who has done more than anyone to hurt the West, elevate its enemies, and trap us in a post-truth nightmare. While he is certainly a symptom of a deeper political illness, he has actively made things much worse. Let us be clear that there is nothing to celebrate today, because Trump is the most traitorous, deeply corrupt, and overall worst president in the history of the US. He is a compromised, horrible human being who has lost the respect of anyone with half a brain. His deep ties as a best friend to Jeffrey Epstein prove he knew exactly what was going on behind closed doors. He is the lowest of the low. He has spent years threatening American allies, appeasing foreign enemies, and losing the reckless trade wars he started. His leadership has left Americans poorer, more stupid, more polarized, and trapped inside a decadent, ever more authoritarian joke of an administration that hurts the whole world. He is a traitor. His alignment with autocracy is clear in how he sides with Russia over Ukraine and China over Taiwan. He even systematically undermined domestic safety by installing a Russian asset as the Director of National Intelligence and an anti-science, anti-vaxx Russian asset as Health Secretary. No one is better than Trump at sabotaging the US. The only bright side to his birthday is that he is old, ensuring he will not be able to stay in power forever. He will never be missed by anyone with a brain and/or a heart, and if I believed in hell, I would seriously doubt it is bad enough for him

Happy Birthday President Trump 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

«La edi­ción crí­tica de la poe­sía com­pleta de Joan Alco­ver que ha hecho Ignasi Moreta es un monu­mento a la meti­cu­lo­si­dad y el rigor.» @PonsPereAntoni @Ed_62 pressreader.com/spain/ultima…

JD Vance, Susie Wiles, and Todd Blanche used the Situation Room to coordinate Epstein cover-up strategy. That facility is reserved for national security emergencies. The man now deciding what files get released was Ghislaine Maxwell's defense lawyer.

This woman may have been RAPED and MURDERED by Jeffrey Epstein or one of his accomplices. And NOBODY is talking about it.

Albania has continued on Day 14 to protest Jared Kushner’s planned resort. No Kings is happening tomorrow on June 14, which is Donald Trump’s birthday.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 UKRAINE IS CHANGING THE BALANCE “Putin is taking a real hit now. The Ukrainians surprised everyone with their innovation. The fact that they are pushing Russian forces back while inflicting 30,000 casualties a month speaks volumes. We need to pressure Russia to negotiate from a position of strength.” - Representative Michael McCaul 🇺🇸 Negotiations become serious when aggression stops paying. Ukraine needs the tools to keep shifting the balance on the battlefield.
