"El silencio es la conversación de las personas que se quieren. Lo que cuenta no es lo que se dice, sino lo que no es necesario decir".
Albert Camus

[luis m. jorge @luisjorge]

Cada vez estou mais convencido que a principal diferença entre as pessoas do Porto e as de Lisboa é que as pessoas de Lisboa nunca pensam nas do Porto. Isso contribui para não sermos ressentidos e vivermos numa doce auto-suficiência que deve irritar bastante as pessoas do Porto.

In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell explained why some people succeed & some don't.

This talk reveals:
• Why ability is overrated
• Why effort alone isn’t enough
• How systems quietly decide outcomes

12 lessons from Gladwell that'll permanently change how you think about success:

[TheManMaker @TheManMakerx]

Every relationship is temporary.

Some end in silence.
Some end in betrayal.
Some end politely, with “we’ll stay friends” lies.
Some end in death.

But none are permanent.

People change.
Desires shift.
Power dynamics flip.
Attraction decays or mutates.
Circumstances apply pressure until cracks show.

The mistake isn’t that relationships end.
The mistake is believing they’re supposed to last forever.

We’re sold permanence to make us comfortable.
Marriage. Labels. Promises. Timelines.
As if words can freeze human nature.

They can’t.

The man you are today is not the man you’ll be in five years.
The woman you meet at 22 is not the woman she’ll be at 32.
Expecting static behavior from dynamic creatures is delusion.

Healthy people understand this.
They don’t cling.
They don’t negotiate desire.
They don’t beg time to stop.

They enjoy what’s real now.
They give fully while it’s alive.
And when it dies, they let it go without resentment.

Impermanence doesn’t make love meaningless.
It makes it honest.

You don’t own people.
You share time.

And time always wins.

The goal isn’t to make a relationship permanent.
The goal is to be strong enough to survive when it ends.

Путин проиграл в Сирии, проиграл в Азербайджане, проиграл в Молдове, проиграл в Украине, проиграл в Венесуэле, и очень скоро проиграет еще и в Иране, и на Кубе.
Путин — чемпион среди лузеров!🤣

O Joachim Trier tornou prioritária a minha ida a Oslo, uma cidade moderna de que muito gostei. Os filmes fazem-nos viajar, mas também impulsionam as viagens. O meu sucedeu-me com Dublin da Sally Rooney.

Oslo in Joachim Trier’s Trilogy.

In this visual essay, we look back at how the Norwegian director Joachim Trier portrays the city throughout his celebrated Oslo Trilogy: ‘Reprise’ (2006), ‘Oslo, August 31st’ (2011), and ‘The Worst Person in the World’ (2021)

On August 23, 1989, nearly two million people formed a 675 km human chain from Vilnius🇱🇹 to Riga🇱🇻 to Tallinn🇪🇪. We peacefully demanded freedom&justice. Holding my grandpa’s hand, I chanted “Lithuania be free!”.

36 years later, we stand firm. Freedom beats in every Lithuanian heart, as testament to our unwavering support for all who fight for their own. #balticway #fightforfreedom

[Other Europe 🇪🇺 @other_europe]

🇪🇺 Today, we honor the memory of the Baltic Way, where 2 million Europeans from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia joined hands, forming a 600km human chain.

Now, Lithuania 🇱🇹, Latvia 🇱🇻, and Estonia 🇪🇪 are in a free and democratic Europe.

This is Europe. 🇪🇺

The “other” Haussmann: Parisian buildings that break the rules.

Paris may look uniform with its cream façades & wrought-iron balconies. But some Haussmannian-era gems went rogue, bold, eccentric, unforgettable.

@Dgare_ É uma boa atriz, mas tem má dicção (já a vi a fazer teatro, desde os tempos na Cornucópia). Pode dever-se ao freio lingual. Não é caso único. O mesmo sucede com o Miguel Guilherme que é bom ator e tem má dicção, a ponto de não se perceber qualquer algumas frases.
