Bon, ben #RIP le porc noir de Bigorre, parce qu’avec un milliard et demi de clients, on ne va pas pouvoir faire face :
« Une fois à l’intérieur, le jambon de porc noir de Bigorre nourrira la convivialité retrouvée entre les chefs d’État. « Je vais faire la publicité de votre jambon à mon retour » lâchera dans un éclat de rire enfin spontané Xi Jinping, après que les chefs d’État aient abandonné leur cravate. »
Falleció César Luis Menotti, un sabio del fútbol; filósofo, erudito, pensante, inteligente, agradable, educado… no acabaría de enlistar cualidades.
Hoy ha fallecido el entrenador Menotti. Una de sus últimas reflexiones: "Ha sido tanta la desculturización que ha sufrido Argentina que cualquiera puede ser presidente. Milei es un espanto, un mamarracho impresentable y una falta de respeto a la política. Nunca vi nada semejante" @yoguiignacio
The end of the sidewalk where I got married. Our goal was to have the entire ceremony outside but the rain did not cooperate. So we had a small legal ceremony here and a larger one elsewhere.
My father-in-law died this past week, and while he did not have an easy go of it these past few years, he was a good man and I'm glad he was a part of my life.
I was struck though at the last thing I remember him watching. He plowed through hundreds of episodes of Gunsmoke. It struck me as a fitting final thing to watch. It was a show that lived a long life, and seemingly went on forever.
Henry Martin lived a long life. His tales seemingly went on forever.
I'm glad I was a part of those tales for more than a decade of his 82 years. #rip
The Electric Light Orchestra's Richard Tandy has died at age 76. His bandmate, Jeff Lynne, announced the news on Facebook, saying, “He was a remarkable musician & friend and I’ll cherish the lifetime of memories we had together.” Here's more from Stereogum.
Like Robert Fisk, who died a couple of years agio, Pilger was a huge influence on both my attitude to journalism, and my approach to a number of geopolitical issues over the decades.

Producer, Solo Artist & THIN LIZZY Guitarist ROBIN GEORGE Has Died
George was involved with resurrecting Thin Lizzy in 1985, which sadly never happened.
An older acquaintance of mine died last month, after a long and fruitful life. She was, imo, a ‘saint’ of a human being; so I thought I’d share her loving #Obit here for all to see. In my part of #SouthernOregon Joyce Hailicka was a legend, the queen of Butte Falls, OR - a small rural town nestled in the Cascade Mountains. Joyce was responsible for just about everything good that happened in that town for the decades she lived there with her husband Ron. But she didn’t stop there, no… she spearheaded county, regional and state programs that yielded real results. Her presence and impact were immense and she will be missed. #RIP#ButteFalls#JacksonCounty#Oregon
"She pivoted from painting to lighting exhibitions, performance art, graphic design and minimalist music, performed with her husband, the composer La Monte Young."
