El País (Madrid) this morning, on Bukele's success at the WH: Everything in this scene is terrifying and nauseating. Heads of State admitting and laughingly defending on camera the flagrant violation of human rights and an unprecedented mockery of court rulings." More greatness for the USA.

El País (Sunday supplement). Millás comments on photographs. But if you think you know what this is about, you are wrong. We live in a time when it's not even about burying your dead. It's about being able to say, "These bodies were human beings." I hope you can read this by clicking onto it.

Si no has leido El gran Gatsby tal vez ha llegado el momento. Una gan historia de amor se ha dicho. No la recuerdo así sino como una crítica desgarradora de los valores que iban a llevar al Crac de 1929. La modernidad mortal.

Spain does not forget. This picture of a woman in Gaza who was holding her dead niece was on the front page of La Vanguardia a year ago today. It eventually won a prize. I still see it in the halls of the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid on union bulletin boards.

Israel sigue violando la soberanía siria con continuos ataques en su territorio. Tel Aviv parece empeñada en desestabilizar la precaria transición del país árabe.

Ayuso ha pasado de decir que las 7.291 personas se iban a morir igual, a tratarlas de “mierdas”, a ahora decir que no se murieron y, hoy, a afirmar que son un invento de la izquierda. Mañana, a las 22:00 h, se emitirá por primera vez en la televisión el documental 7.291, el cual han intentado vetar.

De waarheid heeft tijd, onderzoek en vertraging nodig, terwijl leugens worden gevoed door het moment, het instinctieve (Tacitus). Dat is interessant als je denkt aan algoritmen op sociale media, zegt @irenevalmore.bsky.social die het in VK contrasteert met het lezen van een boek. #boekenweek!

:n un tratado alquímico del siglo XV atribuido a Alfonso el Sabio encontramos la metáfora que Santa Teresa hizo famosa, del gusano de seda que hace su capullo. El alma en metamorfosis. El tratado se llama El Libro del Tesoro.

Just read Fintan O'Toole in the NYRB with a text that connects all the dots between Greenland, Gaza and Mars! Mars being the colony for the elite who escape destroyed planet Earth. A must-read.

This morning The Guardian speaks of Zelensky's "dressing down" in Washington. Come on! They turned on him, berated him, bullied him, ganged up on him... All unimaginably out of line for any Head of State to engage in, much less lead. The English language has ways of saying things.

Marcel Jean 1941 Armario surrealista, "introito" a la exposición "1924 Los otros surrealistas" en la MAPFRE Madrid Nos ha gustado. Remedios Varo hace sombra a casi todos (y todas). Max Ernst es asombroso.
