Was 2020 Just A Dress Rehearsal?

Filosofa's Word

If you thought the chaos and violence that surrounded last year’s presidential election was bad, many speculate that what will happen in 2024 will make 2020 look like a walk in the park.  Take a look at what Washington Post editor Fred Hiatt has to say … a view that is shared by many political analysts today.


Voter suppression is bad. But this tactic is even worse.

Editorial page editor

President Donald Trump’s effort to steal the 2020 presidential election fell short. Now Republicans across the country are promoting changes to laws and personnel that could allow him — or someone like him — to succeed in 2024.

I’m not referring to the hundreds of GOP proposals in statehouses across the country that will make it harder for many people, in particular Black Democrats, to vote. Those measures are egregious and offensive. They are the strategy…

Good People Doing Good Things — Bringing Joy From Sadness

Filosofa's Word

I almost forgot to write a ‘good people’ post … since Monday was a holiday, Tuesday felt like Monday and I began working on a different post until looking at the calendar to plan the week’s meals and I realized that the week was further gone than I thought!  But no worries, for I’ve got plenty of good people just waiting to be recognized!


For lack of the right shoes …

Daverius Peters graduated from Hahnville High School in Boutte, Louisiana last month.  But he was almost kept from  getting to walk across the stage and collect his diploma.  Why?  His shoes.  Yes, you heard me right … somebody decided that no athletic shoes of any sort would be allowed, that young men graduating must wear ‘dark dress shoes’.  Trouble was, Daverius didn’t own any dark dress shoes, so he donned what he thought would be an acceptable substitute, clean…

(1) Thousands of Tokyo Olympic Games volunteers quit – YouTube

Around 10,000 of the 80,000 #volunteers who signed up to help at the #Tokyo 2020 #Olympic and Paralympic Games have #quit, broadcaster NHK reported on Wednesday, citing organisers. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed last year due to the #coronavirus #pandemic and are due to start on July 23. FRANCE 24’s Michael Penn explains the situation.

Brazilija, Brazil – Brasilia, Brazil

Myrela

Početkom pedesetih godina dvadesetog vijeka Brazil je bio zemlja neiscrpnih prirodnih bogatstava i nasilnih društvenih kontrasta, kojoj je očajnički nedostajalo usmjerenje. U poslijeratnoj euforiji, kada su zemlje u razvoju prolazile grozničav preobražaj, Brazil je imao tri različita izvora inicijative: prvi je bio Žuselino Kubiček, ambiciozni i iskusni političar, koji je 1956. godine postao predsjednik; drugi je bio Lusio Kosta, briljantni urbanista, koji je odrastao u Evropi i vratio se u Brazil da bi dokazao stečeno umijeće, treći, i najpoznatiji, bio je Oskar Nimajer, učenik Koste i Le Korbizjea. Iz saradnje dvojice dizajnera 1956. godine nastao je plan Brazilije, nove prijestonice koju je trebalo izgraditi u središtu zemlje, na polusušnoj visoravni, na nadmorskoj visini od 1.200 metara. Mjesto je bio odabrano na osnovu teorijskih razmatranja i dugotrajnog vazdušnog izviđanja. U periodu od skoro 200 godina, različite brazilske vlade razmišljale su o izmještanju prijestonice iz prenaseljenog Rio de Žaneira u unutrašnjost, kako…

Statement of the Munduruku Ipereg Ayu Movement – May 28, 2021 The entirety of the Munduruku people are indignant about the decision to cancel the operations of the Federal Police in our region.

La băi

Google translation of introduction: Sirmione – The Romans liked to spend a lot of time immersed in a warm bath. And, as far as possible, to enjoy, during all this time, a magnificent view.

ore de drum

Sirmione, 2016

Romanilor le plăcea să petreacă mult timp scufundați într-o baie caldă. Și, în măsura posibilităților, să beneficieze, în tot acest timp, și de o priveliște magnifică.

Într-un noiembrie friguros am descins într-una dintre stațiunile termale vestite de la cel mai mare lac italian, Lacul Garda, în regiunea Lombardia.

Accesul e dificil încă din Evul Mediu, pentru că orașul a fost cetate cu funcțiunea strategică de a controla eventualii asediatori veniți pe lac.

Centrul vechi se află într-o limbă de pământ prelungită mult în azurul lacului.

Am făcut o lungă plimbare în circuit ocolind zidul istoric și clădirile pe o alee construită pe țărm, unde ai multe ieșiri la apă.

Pe pietriș, clipoceau vălurele ca în golful unei mici mări.
