Beautiful! Rubio's sparkling voice, in duet with the second voice of Laudenbach's articulate guitar play. Both lend light-heartedness as well as depth to the song.

I wonder if Netanyahu's plea to President Herzog for a pardon in the current investigations is solely about the bribery and corruption charges or whether there is some clause asking for a general pardon to shield him from possible future investigations re: the Gaza Strip war.

That explains a lot why modern film/video looks so visually unsatisfactory and aligns it with the boring contemporary video game imagery: The cleanliness of the images results from grain- and texture reduction.

More than inspiration, writing a book requires discipline.
There are days I feel highly driven, only to get nowhere. Similarly, there are mornings I feel off, yet end up making massive leaps.
If you want progress, don’t trust your feelings.

Why is that since "re-unification!" in 1990 most of what Germany touched in Europe turned to outright catastrophe? Pretty much all German politicians in foreign politics acted on the tacit assumption of some mythical German exceptionalism. It ran Europe to the ground. Again.

I feel so utterly depressed by how the Trumpe regime spits into face of the Ukrainian people while our European nations didn't heed the warnigns and rearmed quickly. Now only European nations collectively entering the war on Ukraine's side would help. Which won't happen.
