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

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.

Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many — they are few.

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.

🔂 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 !

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.

A quotation from Orwell

I never read the proclamations of generals before battle, the speeches of fuehrers and prime ministers, the solidarity songs of public schools and left-wing political parties, national anthems, Temperance tracts, papal encyclicals and sermons against gambling and contraception, without seeming to hear in the background a chorus of raspberries from all the millions of common men to whom these high sentiments make no appeal.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-09), “The Art of Donald McGill,” Horizon Magazine

A quotation from Will Rogers

And be careful about calling them Common People. Nobody wants to be called Common People, especially common people.

A quotation from Orwell

In each great revolutionary struggle the masses are led on by vague dreams of human brotherhood, and then, when the new ruling class is well established in power, they are thrust back into servitude. This is practically the whole of political history, as Burnham sees it. […] History consists of a series of swindles, in which the masses are first lured into revolt by the promise of Utopia, and then, when they have done their job, enslaved over again by the new masters.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-05), “Second Thoughts on James Burnham,” Polemic Magazine

Pulp llega a la cima de la fama y el éxito en 1995 con la publicación de Different Class, el que para muchos es el disco definitivo del britpop (parafraseo el articulo que compartí hace poco). Un álbum de letras profundas y melodías pegajosas y bailables. De ahí «Common People», un clásico generacional.

Alors OK, la série Black Mirror est censée être un peu cynique, tout ça, mais "Common people", l'épisode 1 de la saison 7 il m'a collé le cafard mais d'une force ! C'est très réussi et l'angoisse était très communicative mais Wow je sais pas pourquoi cet épisode m'a déprimé à ce point.

Le Arti che vanno per via (1753) — Gaetano Zompini

Gaetano Zompini (1700–1778) was a well-known painter and engraver in Venice in the 1700s. His works appear in many churches and museums, not just in Venice, but around Italy and Europe.

Today, however, he is better known for the Le Arti che vanno per via nella Città di Venezia — The trades on the streets of the city of Venice — first published in 1753, and later reprinted and republished in several editions.

The book contains a series of sixty engravings, made in the 1740s and 1750s, which show the craftsmen, workers and street vendors habitually seen in the campi and calli of Venice.
