‘Security forces will put a stop to it’ Meduza’s sources say the Kremlin is losing patience with Evgeny Prigozhin’s outbursts — Meduza

Meduza’s sources close to the Putin administration said Prigozhin’s behavior may be linked to a “personal promise” he made to Vladimir Putin that Wagner Group would capture Bakhmut by a certain date. The sources don’t know exactly when this date would be, but they speculated that Prigozhin might be “missing the deadline” and is nervous as a result. The Ukrainian military previously reported that pro-Russian forces hoped to take control of Bakhmut by May 9 (which they failed to do).

♫ Celebration ♫ (A Timely Redux)

Filosofa's Word

After playing The Byrds’ Eight Miles High yesterday, I was planning to treat myself to some Stevie Wonder tonight … ahhhh … the velvet voice of Stevie …  But then, when I posted yesterday afternoon’s good news that the jury had found in favour of E. Jean Carroll in her lawsuit against one Donald Trump, rawgod commented with this song, and … it couldn’t have been more perfect for the moment.  Not only that, but now I’ve had it stuck in my head all night long … (hmmmm … all night long … Lionel Richie … dancing on the ceiling???).


This song was released in 1980 by Kool and the Gang, and was their only #1 hit in the U.S.  “Kool” is Robert Bell, and “The (original) Gang” consisted of his brother Ronald, Dennis “D.T.” Thomas, Robert “Spike” Mickens, Charles Smith, George Brown, and Ricky West.  Formed in 1964…

Beauty and Reality

Kaushal Kishore

I wonder,
when a lamp wants to light
but without burning itself,
when a rose wants to bloom
but without any thorn attached,
when a stone wants to be sculpted
but without the blows
of hammers and chisels,
when a metal wants to be refined
but without getting burnt
and melted in fire,
when a woman wants
to become a mother
but within three months,
and when a poet wants to live only
from the age of fifteen to forty…

Everything comes in pairs,
either together or with an interval,
but it is not possible
for one to avoid the other,
and that is the beauty and reality
of nature…

Sun and Moon rarely meet,
but both complement each other,
two banks of a river never meet,
but one can’t live without the other,
it’s hard to mix
tears and smiles together,
but when these two meet,
then that moment…
