Un suc de karadut ?

From the category of “the most beautiful villages in Turkey”, this hamlet near Izmir delighted me.

Șirince, 2017

Din categoria ,,cele mai frumoase sate din Turcia”, acest cătun din apropiere de Izmir m-a încântat.

Ca să te bucuri de tot ce-ți poate oferi o scurtă oprire de o oră-două, te sfătuiesc să-l străbați alene și să te oprești la o tarabă pentru un suc de dude negre (karadut). Am retrăit un crâmpei de copilărie, când mâncam dude, nu doar negre, adunate de pe jos.

Pe marginea străzilor, erau expuse o sumedenie de obiecte de îmbrăcăminte sau decorative în stil otoman.

Vizitasem cu o zi înainte muzeul de etnologie din Izmir, astfel că orizontul meu de așteptare era pregătit să evalueze calitatea artizanatului regional.

Totuși, pe lângă partea comercială foarte ispititoare, să nu treci cu vederea arhitectura locală a caselor, multe în culori vii, dinamica străzilor, a pieței principale unde se află biserica Sfântului Ioan. Am intrat…

Vogliono trovare l’ORO, è stata la loro avidità che ha ucciso la maggior parte dei nostri anziani molto tempo fa!

They want to find GOLD, it was their greed that killed most of our elders a long time ago!

Come dice il portavoce degli Yanomami Davi Kopenawa nel suo libro “La caduta del cielo”: “In passato, non dovevamo parlare della foresta con rabbia perché non conoscevamo tutti questi bianchi mangiatori di terra e alberi. I nostri pensieri erano calmi. Abbiamo solo sentito le nostre stesse parole e canzoni dagli spiriti xapiri. Questo è ciò che vogliamo essere in grado di fare ancora .

Se la tua mente non fosse così chiusa, faresti uscire i mangiatori di sporcizia dalla nostra foresta! … Non sai come fare niente con la foresta. Sai solo come tagliare e bruciare alberi, scavare buche nel terreno e inquinare i fiumi. Tuttavia, non ti appartiene e nessuno di voi l’ha creato!

Tutte queste parole si sono accumulate in me da quando ho conosciuto i bianchi. … Potrebbero finire per dire a…

Rage, by Bob Woodward

The Chatty Introvert

My Copy: 9781982131739 (image from bn.com)

Well, if you read Fear, then you can assume this is the continuation (and book-end) to what was brought up in that book. And you’d have a good reason to believe that, wrapping up just a few months before the 2020 Election.

Rage is a very apropos title, namely because my own personal rage kept on increasing as events unfolded in the book. Everything from early warnings about COVID (and some mistakes by others other than Trump, contradictory precautions and the like), to the George Floyd murder, and all kinds of other things. It’s not quite as in depth as Fear was because he doesn’t have to introduce as many players this time around. We saw the ones working to save the country more than the presidency, and they were eventually pushed out. Now we have the results of a president surrounded by…

Es un tesoro eso que llamamos tiempo, verdaderamente vale como el oro, aunque no pagamos por el ni un céntimo, lo gastamos sin decoro, creyendo tal vez, que es eterno, que nos esperara en otro momento, sin prisas, sin pausas, quizás mañana… Tiempo, cuanto tiempo, invirtiendo tiempo, tengo en dedicar tiempo a quien como yo […]

COVID-19 numbers worsen – ORANGE COUNTY TRIBUNE – California

New cases of the virus rose to 1,603 from 1,102 the day before. Deaths rose to 17 from eight and hospitalizations increased to 746 from 735. Perhaps the most important number is cases in intensive care units, because under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent order, regions whose ICU capacity fall below 15 percent would experience more restrictions on business and other activities. According to the OCHCA, the count of ICU patients is at 195, up from Thursday’s 179.

Erdogan expresses hope that France will ‘get rid of Macron’ as soon as possible

Recep Tayyip Erdogan – EU leaders want you to go first, so Turkey can flourish again based on democracy and not caliph-wannabes.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday he hopes France will get rid of Emmanuel Macron as soon as possible, the latest salvo in an escalating war of words between the two leaders.

The huge surge in Covid-19 hospitalizations, in one chart – Vox

Far more Americans are currently hospitalized with Covid-19 than at any other point in the pandemic, a grim indicator that the third big wave of cases in the US is the worst wave to date by a lot.

On December 2, 100,226 people across the United States were in the hospital after testing positive for the novel coronavirus, according to data reported by the Covid Tracking Project. That’s significantly higher than the last two peaks recorded on April 15 and July 23, when the New York City and the Southeast and Southwest, respectively, were epicenters of the US outbreak. (As the Covid Tracking Project notes, the national and state hospital data have been erratic and incomplete, and reported totals may continue to shift.)

California COVID-19 cases soar as new shutdown approaches – Los Angeles Times

Over the last week, the state has averaged 17,007 new cases per day, according to data compiled by The Times. That’s a 61.6% increase from two weeks ago, and dwarfs even the darkest days of the summertime surge, when the rolling average never topped 10,000.

Louisville police ‘no-knock’ warrants mostly targeted Black residents

Police disproportionately targeted Black residents for “no-knock” search warrants like the one that led officers to Breonna Taylor’s door the night they fatally shot her, an analysis shows. The findings by the Louisville Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, echo the concerns of civil rights advocates and experts who say no-knock warrants are used more frequently against Black and brown Americans. “The common factors are the poor and people of color – in a highly disproportionate way,” said Peter Kraska, a professor at Eastern Kentucky University who has testified before the U.S. Senate on law enforcement’s use of military tactics and equipment.
