Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq. 30: Dance of the Blessed Spirits
YouTube video by Jean-Pierre Rampal - Topic

I pick up my flute every day and at some point I know I’ll play this beautiful piece of music by Gluck. One day I’ll do it justice, but I’ll always listen to Jean Pierre Rampal, and to my friend who studied under Rampal in Paris. Music is how I keep sane in a mad world.
Australia, Japan, S Korea and New Zealand apply to EU defence club, investing in EU joint defence production. US dependency abandoned. These countries are protecting themselves against American leverage. Sounds like a good idea.

If, while doomscrolling on X you accidentally came across the content in question it would be cached on your device.
If the police subsequently searched and found it you'd be locked up and put on a register.
Yet the people responsible will just get a toothless letter from Ofcom.

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

Just wondering how easy it is for the US to “run” Venezuela, then “run” Cuba and Greenland as well. I mean, look at their current administration. Also very expensive. As plans for world domination go, it seems to have quite a few downsides.

Zelensky issued a clear and urgent appeal to Ukraine’s international partners, stressing that continued and reliable support is not just a matter of politics, but a matter of survival.
“Over 1,070 guided bombs, nearly 1,000 attack drones, and six missiles launched by Russia in just the past week.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

Europe needs to get much more comfortable threatening Trump with serious deterrent measures, and if necessary implementing them. Tariffs, taxes & bans on US firms; selloffs of US Treasuries; expulsions of American troops; sanctions on individuals. Speak his language: strength.
Why should Trump stop at Venezuela? They’re champing at the bit for territorial expansion. Katie Miller, Stephen Miller‘s wife, posted a map of Greenland marked as a US territory with the words „SOON“.

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’:
"Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."
