"But whenever there’s a snatch of talk
it turns to the Kremlin mountaineer,
the ten thick worms his fingers,
his words like measures of weight,
the huge laughing cockroaches on his top lip,
the glitter of his boot-rims."
I wonder if Ol' Joe S. found that flattering . . .? Maybe not. Mandelstam found himself being tossed into work camps as the Twenties wore on, until he died in a gulag in 1938.

Who wrote “poetry” without any rhymes.
She really hates Jews
And hopes they will lose
Their war to stop terrorist crimes.
In other news, the NYT had a poetry editor.

The relevant part is:
Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

Mexico “rejects” Texas’ proposal to allow state police to deport undocumented immigrants
Mexico said Texas’ Senate Bill 4 will violate the human rights of Mexican immigrants living in Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott said he plans to sign the proposal into law.
The Mexican government on Wednesday responded to the Texas Legislature’s passage of Senate Bill 4 — which creates a state crime for entering the state illegally from Mexico and allows state and local authorities to deport undocumented immigrants — saying it “categorically rejects” Texas’ latest proposal to arrest and deport immigrants to Mexico.
“The Government of Mexico reiterates its rejection of any measure that contemplates the involuntary return of migrants without respect for due process,” says the statement from Mexico’s secretary of foreign relations.

The Virtual Russian Museum -
This painting reflects both the real events of the siege of Petrograd by the forces of the White general Yudenich and the artist’s own personal memoirs: “I wanted to tell the tale of an episode from the terrible year of 1919.” The artist conveys the setting of a worker’s house and the state of its inhabitants, who stay up throughout the whole alarming night. The colour contrasts add tension to the painting.
The artist employs the resolution to introduce significance into the genre scene, confirming without external pathos the stoicness of people when the hour of testing comes around: “I wanted … to convey the alarm of the historical scale of great experiences … I succeeded in loving the people depicted there.”

It was remade later with Anthony Hopkins playing the role, Red Dragon (the title of the novel). Cox plays Lecter, who is not the main villain of the story, as a kind of highly-educated thug; you don't get the silkiness of Hopkins' version. But he's still effective. Manhunter has very good casting, with William Peterson of CSI as main detective Will Graham.

On the one hand, I agree.
On the other hand, my friends grandmother raised a family working as a waitress after her husband was in a horrific truck crash and couldn't really work anymore (sounds like he had some kind of brain injury in addition to his physical injuries).

This may have been mentioned elsewhere already but, apparently, the Washington Post has published a story in which they state that the Nordstream pipeline sabotage was carried out by Ukrainian special forces. They go so far as to name the person in charge of the team which did it. It is believed, although without sufficient evidence, that the sabotage was carried out with the advice, consent, and assistance of the US.
This means that a non-member country of NATO, assisted by the US, carried out an economic attack on multiple member countries of NATO.
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it?

Once upon a time, low paying jobs were considered starting jobs, entry level jobs, training jobs.
Being able to commit to working full-time is something employers might want to know about.
You're not supposed to stay in a low-paying job any longer than you have to.

Yeah, but just practically speaking -- at least until the robots take over, we need those types of jobs staffed.
If *everyone* was able to "move up" (to what? all the fry cooks become managers? Who do they manage?), it would turn in to a bit of a pyramid scheme though, no?
Like those jobs do need to be staffed, and they can't fill all shifts with high school kids.

From the few episodes I saw of Hannibal, I thought Mikkelsen was a fine successor to Cox and Hopkins.
I've always wondered if Thomas Harris intended Lecter to be merely a throwaway character, with no plans to appear in any other works . . . and then he saw how people reacted to the doctor's small role in the first novel. Even then, Harris must have known he had something special, though. He tells the story in past tense, but occasionally when referring to Lecter he uses present. "Dr. Lecter's eyes are maroon . . ."
