BBC: alright, we'll prove that you *did incite* the terrorist actions on #Jan6 now that you're suing us claiming you didn't.
>Smacks of #OscarWilde foolishly challenging the accusation of homosexuality. The case bankrupt him, he died in exile in France.
Tr^mp "cannot now prevent Defendants from seeking records that would shed light on his true knowledge, intent, and state of mind in delivering his speech at the Ellipse," the defendants argued.

Back in the 90s I worked in a small bookstore in SF. The owner (who died in '95 or so) told a story of man he knew or knew of who seduced Lord Alfred Douglas in Douglas' old age because it was as close as one could get to being with #oscarwilde I developed a much greater interest in Wilde later, and wish I could remember who the heck boss was referring to.
Anyone here on the fedi know who this might have been? (It's very possible it was a friend of the boss, so...) -

Libro: "Mis amigos"
«Escojo mis amigos no por la piel u otro arquetipo cualquiera, y sí por la pupila, tiene que tener un brillo cuestionador y una tonalidad inquietante.
A mi no me interesan los buenos de espíritu ni los malos de hábitos.
Me quedo con aquellos que hacen de mí un loco y un santo.
De ellos no quiero respuesta, quiero mi opuesto. Que me traigan dudas y angustias y aguanten lo peor que hay en mí.
Para eso, sigo siendo loco, los quiero santos, para que no duden de las diferencias y pidan perdón por las injusticias.
Escojo mis amigos por la cara lavada y por el alma expuesta,
no quiero solo el hombro o el regazo, quiero también la mayor de sus alegrías.
Amigo que no ríe con uno, no sabe sufrir con uno. Mis amigos son todos así: mitad estupidez, mitad seriedad.
No quiero risas previsibles ni llantos piadosos, quiero amigos serios, de aquellos que hacen de la realidad su fuente de aprendizaje, pero luchan para que la fantasía no desaparezca.
No quiero amigos adultos ni aburridos. Los quiero mitad infancia y otra mitad vejez.
Niños, para que no olviden el valor del viento en el rostro y viejos,
para que nunca tengan prisa.
Tengo amigos para saber quién soy yo, pues viéndolos locos y santos, bobos y serios, niños y viejos, nunca me olvidaré de que la Normalidad es una ilusión imbécil y estéril.» -

Oscar Wilde’s British Library card reissued 130 years after being revoked over gay conviction – BBC
Oscar Wilde’s library card reissued 130 years after being revoked over gay conviction
The date of Oscar Wilde’s death, 30 November 1900, has been used as the new card’s expiry date.1 day ago, Paul Glynn, Culture reporter
The British Library has honoured late Irish writer Oscar Wilde by reissuing a reader’s card in his name, 130 years after his original was revoked following his conviction for “gross indecency”.
The celebrated novelist, poet and playwright was excluded from the library’s reading room in 1895 over his charge for having had homosexual relationships, which was a criminal offence at the time.
The new card, which will be collected by his grandson, author Merlin Holland, on Thursday, is intended to “acknowledge the injustices and immense suffering” Wilde faced, the library said.
Mr Holland said the new card is a “lovely gesture of forgiveness and I’m sure his spirit will be touched and delighted”.
British Library papers from June 1895 noted: “Mr O. Wilde excluded from the reading room”The decision to revoke Wilde’s pass for the library – then the British Museum reading room – was recorded without comment in the trustees’ minutes for 15 June 1895.
He had been in prison for three weeks at the time after being handed a two-year prison sentence with hard labour.
The author was convicted after he lost a libel trial against Lord Queensberry, who had accused him of being homosexual after discovering that his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, aka Bosie, was Wilde’s lover.
The library regulations at the time said anyone convicted of a crime should have their card revoked.
‘Letter from prison meant so much’
The British Library holds handwritten drafts of some of Wilde’s most famous plays including The Importance of Being Ernest, An Ideal Husband, A Woman of No Importance and Lady Windermere’s Fan.
Its collection also includes De Profundis, the letter he wrote to Bosie from Reading Gaol.
Mr Holland will collect the new card at a ceremony at the venue on what would have been his grandfather’s 171st birthday.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Thursday, Mr Holland said he felt both “proud” of his grandfather and slightly burderened by the responsibility of handling his legacy.
“People will so often write in to me and say, ‘I cannot tell you how much your grandfather’s De Profundis meant to me’,” he explained.
“It has a note of positivity at the end… he’s going to come out of prison and do something again.
“And people have written to me saying, ‘In a moment of terrible depression about my own life I read De Profundis, and I just wanted you to know that your grandfather’s letter from prison meant so much to me’.”
Trustees’ papers noted Wilde’s exclusion from the library at the timeDame Carol Black, chair of the British Library, described Wilde as “one of the most significant literary figures of the nineteenth century”.

In the film, much of this layered social critique by Wilde is instead laid at the feet of a cat. . . .

A me risulta #OscarWilde abbia detto di "Schiacciare i #nemici, inseguirli mentre fuggono e ascoltare i lamenti delle loro femmine". O forse mi sono sbagliato

I should add, I listened to it as an audiobook, and the version I listened to had a lovely foreword from Wilde's grandson, and the reader read it <em>beautifully</em>.
