"Muchos critican en voz baja la ambición del tirano, pero pocos se atreven a contrariarla cuando obtienen algún provecho. La adulación sustituye a la sinceridad, y el gobernante, rodeado de silencios interesados, no encuentra obstáculos para su despotismo".
(Horacio. Epístolas)

[Arturo Pérez-Reverte @perezreverte]

"La tiranía se mantiene por el temor que inspira, y también por la cobardía de muchos ciudadanos que, desunidos y más atentos a su interés personal que al de todos, toleran la injusticia y con su pasividad consolidan al tirano que en secreto detestan".
(Aristóteles. Política)

Colombia is home to about 2,000 bird species, more than anywhere else on Earth. Decades of conflict kept people out of many areas, preserving the birds’ habitat. Now birders are flocking in. @AndersonCooper reports, Sunday. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW

@PJHarveyUK "Louis was my dearest friend, fighting in the ANZAC trench.." 15 years of Let England Shake: a sonic essay on nationhood, war, and historical memory. No epic gloss, no pamphleteering. Just the wound. And perhaps that’s why it remains more relevant than ever. Iconic.

[PJ Harvey @PJHarveyUK]

PJ Harvey's Let England Shake was released on this day in 2011.

@Noirchick1 Stunning. Ann-Margret was so much more than the 'female Elvis.' Like Rita Hayworth, she was a victim of her own beauty—a top tier dramatic actress instrumentalized by a system that preferred spectacle over her deep, raw talent. A true underrated legend. With all due respect.

@BBCBreaking Very sad to hear of Chris Rea’s passing. A sandy, beach-worn voice rough yet full of warmth and affection. I loved discovering him more deeply through King of the Beach, especially All Summer Long and The Bones of Angels. May he now be with those angels. Rest in peace, Chris.

"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."

[Guggenheim New York @Guggenheim]

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and its constellation of museums mourn the loss of Frank Gehry, whose visionary architecture reshaped our institution and changed cities around the world.

From Bilbao to Abu Dhabi, Frank’s genius magnified the Guggenheim’s mission and showed why museum architecture matters. His buildings paid profound homage to Frank Lloyd Wright’s foundational vision for the Guggenheim—architectural distinction in service of, art, artists, and visitor experience. Our decades-long collaboration with Frank and Gehry Partners was built on friendship, shared values, and an unwavering belief in art’s power to transform lives.

Frank’s legacy will inspire generations to come. We are forever grateful.

a testament to the power of visionary architecture and enduring partnership.
