The greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end. You must declare unceasing war on yourself.
The score for Nolan's Odyssey will feature Albanian iso-polyphony folk music.
Composer Göransson "traveled to southern Albania to capture an ancient style of singing called iso-polyphony, which he’d never heard in a film before," @vulture reports.
🇽🇰 Kosovo's VV and LDK have agreed in principle to form a coalition government, pending the resolution of LDK's power struggle, Koha reports.
LDK would get the posts of First Deputy PM, Speaker of Parliament, and 3 Ministries, while VV would nominate the candidate for President.
A departure from this World Cup that may be overlooked: Granit Xhaka, one of the last remaining members of a Switzerland golden generation that once featured Xherdan Shaqiri, Yann Sommer, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabian Schär and more.
In his fourth World Cup, Xhaka reached the furthest stage of his career. He’ll be 38 by 2030, so there’s a chance we may have seen him on this stage for the final time.
Salute to a Swiss football icon 🫡
For generations, Albanian-Americans have worked hard, built businesses, raised families, and strengthened communities across New York while proudly preserving their language, culture, and heritage.
Today, that story has received a meaningful recognition.
“Little Albania” has officially earned its place on New York City’s map of immigrant enclaves. This recognition reflects the contributions of Albanian-Americans and their enduring impact on the city’s cultural richness.
For many of us, it feels like we finally have a small piece of Albania officially recognized in one of the world’s greatest cities. It is a tribute to the generations who came before us, kept our traditions alive, and helped build vibrant communities while embracing the American dream.
A proud moment for Albanian-Americans everywhere.
