The owner of Berlin bar in Thessaloniki has died, one of the 3 main bars in the center that we lived the best years of our lives as they say. I'm sad.

I don't know what the TV channels and officials say, Trump wants territory that belongs to another country, thus the only answer is that of course he can have it, after every last man of that country lies dead from bullets

In spite of the ache
in your heart
about the girl you
never found
and the fact that
after years of
spiritual rigour
you did not manage
to enlighten yourself
a certain cheerfulness
will begin to
arise out of your crushed
hopes and intentions

“I do not know how to rid the world of evil, or whether one is simply supposed to endure it. But you are there and are having an effect, and the poems have an effect of their own and help to protect you—that is the answer and a counterbalance in this world.”

— Ingeborg Bachmann to Paul Celan, 1958

The TV channels these days pretty much tell us to believe the opposite of what we see with our own eyes. They perform the Jedi trick

Clarice Lispector:

“It is exactly through the failure of the voice that one comes to hear for the first time one’s own muteness and that of others and of things, and accepts it as the possible language.”

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung, bells to be rung
And a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and grey
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young

"You Make Me Feel So Young" Lyrics by Mack Gordon, music composer: Josef Myrow
