  1. A quotation from Twain

    Well, I liked the king, and as king I respected him — respected the office; at least respected it as much as I was capable of respecting any unearned supremacy; but as MEN I looked down upon him and his nobles — privately. And he and they liked me, and respected my office; but as an animal, without birth or sham title, they looked down upon me — and were not particularly private about it, either. I didn’t charge for my opinion about them, and they didn’t charge for their opinion about me: the account was square, the books balanced, everybody was satisfied.

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 8 “The Boss”

    Por si no habéis visto esta maravilla; mezclando a William Shatner (que no canta, recita) haciendo un cover del clásico de Pulp, Common People... pero todo con imágenes de la lisérgica serie de animación de Star Trek.

    Fácilmente mi versión favorita de esta canción xD

  10. Die aus Los Angeles stammenden Indie-Rocker Common People melden sich mit ihrer neuen Single „Blue Eyes“ zurück, die von Cage The Elephant-Gitarrist Brad Shultz produziert wurde und das emotionale Bröckeln einer Beziehung bittersüß einfängt. Ich hing schon nach den ersten Takten am Haken. Und auch wenn der Refrain sich in eine unerwartete Richtung entwickelt: cool.

  15. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    The government must be the trustee for the little man because no one else will be. The powerful can usually help themselves — and frequently do.

    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) American diplomat, statesman
    Speech (1955-10-29), “The Crisis in Agriculture,” Democratic Rally, Duluth, Minnesota

  20. A quotation from Shelley

    Rise like Lions after slumber
    In unvanquishable number,

    Ye are many — they are few.

    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English poet
    Poem (1819), “The Mask of Anarchy,” st. 38

  29. The evolution is NOT the material work only but work in the mind and heart of others, for others.
    - that's the real work.... 🧠 ❤️

    Not just money.
    Listening personally is missing...

    🔁 What goes around comes around.

    ⚠️ but...

    🔂 What you're not doing also doesn't come around when you need...

    Right now people protest but they run away from debate just their leaders !

  31. Scuazzero — Rubbish collector — Grevembroch 3-129

    This painting depicts a rubbish collector, called a scoazzér.

    Scoazze means rubbish, and the word is still in common use today in Venice.

    Venice used non-biodegradable rubbish to prepare muddy areas for building, or for enlarging lagoon islands. The city had a system of scoazzere — designated areas for collecting such refuse — for this purpose.
