Just me rambling about David Bowie and other interesting people and events.

[gatorfisch]

More pics from the restaurant. Those kids have the same nose. And that nose is not like Ben or Zero’s.

[jazziesb]

Interesting, isn't it? Ben C does not have any real children of his own. They always rent or borrow some others.

An Iranian mother holding a picture of her son who got killed in the protest over the tragic death of Mahsa Amini and shouting his name. Listen how proudly she is crying for justice. She wants everyone to say his name and to stand up for freedom.

[reallilithdammit]

Yes it's a struggle. But right now I feel I have to pay attention. I live in Norway. We border with RUSSIA, and things are getting scarier by the day. FU, Putin!

[technicallity]

The above photo is German athlete Luz Long and American athlete Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin, Germany–who formed an unlikely friendship that continued beyond the Olympics.

In Long’s final letter to Owens, written soon before Long died during the invasion of Italy, he wrote (as found on Letters of Note):

I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father. My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me. It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.

Years later, Jesse Owens became friends with and served as the best man to Luz’s son Karl in his wedding.

Damn.

[windycitylibrarian]

This brought tears to my eyes.

The rest of the letter though:

If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true. That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer. Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade. And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship. I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse. I think I might believe in God. And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you. Your brother, Luz

This is beautiful and tragic and wonderfully bittersweet.

A bit of fun for a sunny evening. I can get about five. See how many you can get!

[nokiabae]

I got the Top 4.47% on this English Vocabulary test

[verrader-is-dutch-for-traitor]

Top 6,57%

[neil-gaiman]

That was actually fun. And when you are old, as I am, and you worry that your vocabulary is a thing of the past, actually quite reassuring.

[reallilithdammit]
