Happy Pierre Menard Day!
On 9/30/1934, Menard announces his intention to compose 𝘋𝘰𝘯 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘹𝘰𝘵𝘦. "My purpose is merely astonishing…. The final term of a theological or metaphysical proof—the world around us, or God, or chance, or universal Forms—is no more final, no more uncommon, than my revealed novel." (Borges, 'Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote')

Die Stimme gehört zur Persönlichkeit einer #Schauspielerin wie der Gesichtsausdruck. Die Stimme durch eine andere ersetzen ist wie der Austausch des Gesichts.
#JorgeLuisBorges äußerte sich 1945 in "Sobre el #doblaje en el #cine" (Über die #Synchronisation im Kino) ähnlich: #GretaGarbo mit der Stimme einer anderen wäre für ihn eine #Chimära, ein #Monster.

Happy belated birthday to Jorge Luis Borges (b. 8/24/1899 in Buenos Aires).
"Doubt is one of the names of intelligence."
~ Jorge Luis Borges, born today, 1899.
A Pendulum for the Multiverse: David Albert, Hugh Everett, and the Worlds We Never Feel
On my grandfather's porch in North Loup, Nebraska, the ground kept its promises. Summer evenings the floorboards held the day's heat, the corn stood in rows that ran clear to the horizon, and nothing in all that flat immensity so much as trembled. When a teacher first told me the Earth was spinning at close to a thousand miles an hour while racing around the Sun at sixty-seven thousand more, I pressed my bare feet against those boards and waited to feel the ride. The stillness came back like a verdict. Whatever the books claimed, my soles reported a stationary world, and a boy trusts his soles. Every child who has run that experiment has rebuilt, in miniature, the strongest objection the seventeenth century could throw at Copernicus. If the Earth turns, why does a dropped stone land at the foot of the tower and never a few feet to the west? Why does the gale of our orbital speed fail to strip the leaves from the trees? The objection deserved respect because it rested on evidence, on the honest testimony of every human body that had ever stood still. It took Galileo's ship, and then Newton's laws, to explain why that testimony, though honest, was worthless. […]

#YukioMishima on vanhastaankin lempikirjailijoitani. Jostakin syystä moni kirjallisuuden lempparini on kaukana oikealla, vaikka itse olen niin vasemmalla kuin pelilaudalla pääsee. Eilen ei #VinhanKirjakauppa kuitenkaan vielä tarjonnut ”uutta” Mishimaa. Ostin toisia lemppareita, #JorgeLuisBorges'ia ja #CharlesDickens'iä. Kyllä, kulutan klassikoita. #kirjallisuus

Several years - and several laptops - ago, whilst programming in #Processing, I made a silly mistake saving some code. I had recently been reading #JorgeLuisBorges The Library Of Babel, with its "catalogue of catalogues" and infinitely repeating architecture.
To my amazement and delight, this warning message popped up. #ThankYou to whoever came up with it :-)

Everness (Jorge Luis Borges)
Everness Seule une chose n'est pas. C'est l'oubli. Dieu sauve le métal, son résidu Et sa prophétique mémoire inclut Les lunes qui seront et qui ont fui. Tout est déjà. Les reflets par milliers Qu'entre les aubes du jour et du soir Ton visage a laissés sur les miroirs Et ceux que peu à peu il va laisser.

Acabo de leer el cuento Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius por Jorge Luis Borges por primera vez. Hace años leí un resumen de este cuento en íngles y aunque no hablo español con mucha fluidez las palabras matemáticas y las ideas lingüísticas familiares me ayudaron entender. Espero que puedo leer y escribir con fluidez finalmente. Leer parece más fácil que mirar las películas para aprender el idioma.

Jorge Luis Borges | Gunnar Thorgilsson (1816-1879)

That's interesting, I was thinking more of the conservative movements of the 1970s, how Chuck Colson took Nixon's defeat, and basically said, "Never again," creating a coalition of political forces and propaganda ("Faux News" and the like) to basically make their own pocket universe.
Current events read WAY too much like #Tlön Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by #JorgeLuisBorges these days. (It's a [must read] if you haven't already. ;)

“I remember the first novel in English I read through was a Scottish novel called THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS. […] When I read that, I wanted to be Scotch.”

“I think of reading a book as no less an experience than traveling or falling in love”*…
Via Why Is This Interesting, a reading list from the man who created The Library of Babel…
Jorge Luis Borges, the consummate reader & librarian of the infinite, left behind an unfinished gift in the form of his Biblioteca Personal, meant to be 100 selections of personally-prized literature. Each was to have a written prologue and the entries were a kaleidoscopic collection of remembrances, lyrical passages, and warm regards…
In 1985, Argentine publisher Hyspamerica asked Borges to create A Personal Library — which involved curating 100 great works of literature and writing introductions for each volume. Though he only got through 74 books [64 individual titles, 6 to be issued in two volumes] before he died of liver cancer in 1988, Borges’s selections are fascinating and deeply idiosyncratic. He listed adventure tales by Robert Louis Stevenson and H.G. Wells alongside exotic holy books, 8th century Japanese poetry and the musing of Kierkegaard…
[Borges said] “I want this library to be as diverse as the unsatisfied curiosity that has led me, and continues to lead me, to explore so many languages and so many literatures”…
Borges’ personal book picks– remembrances and warm regards: “The Biblioteca Personal Edition,” from @WhyInteresting.

As we browse, we might recall that today is Juneteenth.
Though the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on September 22, 1862 (effective January 1, 1863), word was slow to spread. Indeed, in Texas (which had been largely on the sidelines of hostilities in the Civil War, had continued its own state constitution-sanctioned practice of slavery, and so had become a refuge for slavers from more besieged Southern states) it took years… and federal enforcement.
On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger, who’d arrived in Galveston, Texas, with 2,000 federal troops to take possession of the state and enforce the emancipation of its slaves, read “General Order No. 3” from a local balcony:
The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.
Former slaves in Galveston celebrated in the streets; Juneteenth observances began across Texas the following year, and are now recognized as state holidays by 41 states– and as of 2021, as a federal holiday.
