made myself an awesome chicken salad last night from leftover rántotthús, spring onions, red onions, red bell pepper, maasdamer, gouda, and pan roasted buttered cubes of pur pur bread... a bit of olive oil and salt, and baby !! 🤌👌
NAUR. im thinking about how we learn that paolo was literally such a silent child throughout his entire time at the orphanage. a silent child, a silent adult... he's back in the halls of his childhood home and the nun recognizes his face but does not remember his name. and he's silent through it all
i'm trying to pick up italian (mostly for work), do you have any podcast/tv/movie recommendations? i need to immerse myself in the language a bit more :)
i always recommend older italian movies for beginners because actors still had a modicum of good diction back then but if you're more interested in more modern stuff off the top of my head i'd say
IL PADRE D’ITALIA (2017)
dir. Fabio Mollo
Paolo is a shy and heartbroken 30-year-old gay man who works unwillingly as a sales clerk in a Turin department store. Mia is a back-up singer in a band and lives her life haphazardly, which leads her to being practically homeless. Paolo wants to be a father. Mia never wanted children. After they meet by chance in a nightclub and Mia finds out she’s pregnant, the two pack up an leave for a road-trip in search of the baby’s father.

On the subject of orwell and his rancid anticommunism, his flagship title "animal farm" is not simply a "satire of the USSR"; it is a full and total repudiation of the idea of proletarian rule at all. The entire book depicts the workers as dumb and incapable and easily manipulated by leaders. This is a fully aristocratic view of the proletariat and entirely anti-proletarian. This should be no surprise to people who are familiar with orwell's opinions and past, including the fact that he has "never been able to dislike Hitler" (actual quote, March 21, 1940) and that he was a colonialist cop.
