A thread to celebrate Bohuslav Martinů’s Concertante works. As I listen through my collection again, I’ll record any thoughts here. A whole world of solo instrument concertos awaits, but there are many for groups of soloists, too. It’s a fascinating and endlessly rewarding collection of works.

Loin d'idéaliser les relations entre femmes et hommes dans ses romans, Jane Austen en offre au contraire une vision caustique. Dans "Northanger Abbey", l'autrice incrimine cette posture de l'homme sachant, qui impose ses connaissances à la femme supposée ignare.

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

Ruben Gallego emerges as key Democratic figure in Latino voter outreach
Gallego left some of his staff members behind as he drummed up support for a fellow Democrat running to be the next mayor of the majority-Hispanic city. “Soy Ruben Gallego de Arizona,” he said, introducing himself without mentioning he is a U.S. senator. The Arizona Democrat is emerging as a crucial surrogate for a party desperately seeking to win back the Latino support that slipped in 2024 with the election of President Donald Trump.

The European Commission is expected on Tuesday to reverse the EU's effective ban on sales of new combustion-engine cars from 2035, bowing to intense pressure from Germany, Italy and European automakers struggling against Chinese and U.S. rivals.
