Hey support. Quick question. Lately this group of guys on campus has been gravitating toward me in a kinda weird way. They’re super preppy guys: polo shirts, cologne, pressed khakis, conservative haircuts, that whole sort of thing. They’re really nice and honestly very handsome—prettyboy faces with some nicely toned muscle—but, frankly, the way they all talk the same, always hang out together, and have the same (properly preppy) interests kind of freaks me out. They’re like pod people. Idk why they’ve taken such a curiosity in me: I’ve never been very preppy or stylish at all. Anyway, they invited me over to their dorm tomorrow, but I saw one of them carrying a chronoviac…any idea what I should expect if I go? Should I go?

Well… In my opinion, you should definitely go there. From what I see in my files, these guys are virtuosos in the use of the Chronivac. You can look forward to the results.

You put on your clothes that are most likely to pass for "preppy". You comb your hair. And go on your way. Another student is waiting in front of the house. Similar appearance as you. Pretty average. Quite preppy. But could just as easily pass for a member of the chess team. The door opens and an immaculately dressed frat guy invites you in and leads you into a library. There are two tables, each with an iPad on it. You may sit down. There would now be a small entrance test for the fraternity. If you pass, you will become probationary preppies. Otherwise you will leave the dorm and will not get a chance to repeat the test.

Hey, you think to yourself, that's great. So, worst case scenario, nothing happens. Let's do it.

The test only takes a few minutes. You are to enter for four abbreviations what they stand for. Please use the iPads for this. You and the other candidate look at each other, shake hands and take your seats. The first abbreviation is BMW. Fuck! "Bavaria" and " Motors" is what you guess. But W? Ways? Your tutor congratulates your competitor. Yes, it stands for "Bayerische Motoren Werke". You look enviously at your opponent's iPad. Did he already have manicured fingers? You look at your hands. Okay, the nails aren't exactly clean. And you have quite a few horny calluses.

The next question is what "bt" means on an invitation. You have no idea… You've never read it. You write beer time. Fits BMW somehow. The tutor congratulates the other guy again. The solution was "black tie". Who should know something like that? The idiot grins over his clean-shaven face. You're itching your three-day beard. Shit, now you have to try harder!.

Now they ask for LVMH. What the hell? LVMH? Might have something to do with the British king. Long Vita Majesty Highness? Shit, time's up. Of course the other guy knew it stood for Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. You don't even know what that means. You scratch your tousled hair. Your opponent, grinning, corrects a less-than-perfect strand of his slicked hair.

We come to the last question. Your last chance not to make a total fool of yourself. But you're getting tired of these stuffy wimps. What does Snob stand for? Hehehe! That's a trick question. Snob is not an abbreviation at all. You write that down. To learn that it stands for sine nobilitas. Fuck!

A few other preppies enter the room and ask your opponent to come along. He puts on his expensive looking jacket, nods at you once more and turns around.

Your tutor says he's sorry, but unfortunately you have no chance of being accepted into the frat. You scratch your hairy six-pack and are relieved. You'd rather be throwing some balls with the other guys anyway.

"Nah worries, bruh. It's been fun. See you on campus" you reply, grabbing your glove and ball and you head out of this boring house.

Leonhard

Bavarian G5/5 of the Königliche Bayerische Staatseisenbahn, loosley translated that means royal bavarian state railway. Leonhard has the Nummer 5834 and his class was the strongest of his type in Bavaria.

(Yes I know its in German, just listing the eccentials) This class was built to tackle grades in northern Bavaria and was at the time considered the height of Bavarian locomotive engineering. No G5/5s exist to this day and images are rare as well. I found a video where there is one shown for a few seconds. There is a model from Märklin that exists ( I want it).

Here are some of the ones he is closest to. His grandfather Hartmut with a severe case of "Schadenfreude". His cousin Erika who Was once considered a world record holder for speed in 1907 (I think). His daughter Hedwig a smol baby class 45. Andreas Stark, his Fireman and James! Who he actually finds quite charming and he enjoys his company.

I'm not exactly a sunny optimist. But when there's a viral mindless piling on of negative evaluations, it's time for a reality check.

Ukraine pulled out of the town of Avdiivka because it values the lives of its troops exponentially more than Russia values its troops. Avdiivka is now little more than a pile of rubble which has little strategic value. Undoubtedly Ukraine left a few surprises for the Russians there. ;)

A couple of writers for the journal Foreign Policy spent time talking with participants at the Munich Security Conference (MSC). SitRep is a weekly digest of news and analysis at Foreign Policy. Here are some excerpts.

SitRep had what we thought was a fairly innocuous question for NATO’s top military official Saturday morning. Two years in, are you pessimistic about Ukraine’s chances in fending off Russia’s full-scale invasion? “I’m not!” shouted Dutch Adm. Rob Bauer, the chair of NATO’s Military Committee, pounding his fist on the table and sending the silverware in front of him clattering in the 15th-century vault-turned-restaurant in the Bayerischer Hof Hotel’s basement. “Pessimists lose wars. Is it difficult for Ukraine? Yes. If you would have asked in 1942 in Europe, ‘How is the war going?’ I don’t think there were a lot of people that were overly optimistic. We still won.”

Americans in particular have short attention spans. A reminder that wars can last longer that one NFL season. US involvement in World War II lasted 3 years 9 months from Pearl Harbor to Japan's formal surrender.

Even accounting for the fact that these types of conferences are saturated with navel-gazing governmental self-congratulations tours, we think the naysayers of the naysayers have a point. Russia is far from starting to win. First, the narrative seeming to take root in some speeches and headlines that Ukraine is on the cusp of losing the war is way off base. The battlefield situation is serious but not to the point where Ukraine is at risk of a full-scale collapse or even facing major setbacks on the front lines, according to the assessments of more than a dozen European defense officials and experts we spoke to. Russia has taken the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka but at an enormous cost in lives and ammunition for a city that has no real strategic significance. [ ... ] Indeed, the scale of Russian losses in the war is truly staggering. Two years in, the Kremlin is still scrambling to transform the country to a wartime economy, and those losses will be hard to recoup. Russia has suffered some 315,000 casualties—accounting for 87 percent of its prewar troop levels, according to a declassified U.S. intelligence assessment—as well as lost 2,200 of its 3,500 prewar tanks and 4,400 of its 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers.

Those Russian losses figures are somewhat conservative. More on that in a moment.

Even as Ukraine faces a new wave of ammunition shortages spurred by the political stalemate in Congress over U.S. funding for Ukraine, its lines are holding and European defense officials credit Kyiv with rationing its ammunition smartly and efficiently. [ ... ] Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba was one official who didn’t downplay the significance of Russia’s capture of Avdiivka. “When a citizen of Europe reads in the news that Ukraine retreated from Avdiivka, you should realize one simple fact—Russia has gotten closer to your home.” [ ... ] Russian President Vladimir Putin shouldn’t be popping any champagne bottles just yet. “Let’s remember we are 724 days into Russia’s three-day war,” Bauer said.

Russia is currently trying to frighten us with talk of nuclear missiles in space. They have done this before. They drew red lines that Biden then stepped over and there's no response to the Western moves. One thing Russia is proven to be good at is bullshit.

The second anniversary of Russia's full scale invasion is later this week. It is estimated that Russia has suffered US$49.75 billion in losses in this war. Keep in mind that despite its geographic size, Russia has an economy about one-half the size of California's which has less than a third of Russia's population.

Ukraine currently puts Russian fatalities over the 400,000 mark.

402,430 is a number greater than the populations of the capitals of 39 of the 50 US states. Only in a dictatorship where dissidents are murdered would such massive losses in a futile war be allowed.

Foreign Policy Situation Report: Munich Reacts to Navalny’s Death

On Friday, news broke that jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, had died at the Polar Wolf penal colony in Russia, sending shockwaves through the security conference in Munich where many of Navalny’s friends and supporters, as well as his wife and top Biden administration officials, are convening.

“Upon hearing the horrible news, I didn’t know if I should have immediately flown to my family or speak out,” Yulia Navalnaya, his wife, said in a last-minute address to the MSC, right after U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris exited the stage. “But then I thought, ‘What would Alexei do?’ and I’m sure he would be here,” she added.

Navalnaya’s remarks were greeted with a standing ovation from the somber crowd. “If this is true, I want Putin and everyone around him to know that they will be held accountable for everything they did to our country, to my family,” Navalnaya said.

Confusion and shock. At first, there was confusion at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof where the MSC is taking place, as news alerts about a cryptic post from Russia’s prison service saying that the dissident felt unwell after a walk, lost consciousness, and later died began circulating. In the hotel’s atrium, everyone’s necks craned down to look at their phones. Slowly, the grim realization of Navalny’s death set in.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” said Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Russia, when a small gaggle of journalists informed him of the news. McFaul was a longtime friend of Navalny’s and had just come from visiting the family. “Navalny was my friend. Forgive me for not being able to answer journalists’ questions dispassionately right now,” he wrote later in a post on X.

Navalny, a former lawyer who highlighted Kremlin corruption on a popular blog before he entered opposition politics more than two decades ago, survived a previous assassination attempt when he was poisoned by Russian security services with the chemical agent Novichok in August 2020.

For more on the opposition leader’s life and his impact on Russia’s besieged democratic movement, read our colleague Amy Mackinnon’s obituary of Navalny.

“Russia is responsible.” Harris, the keynote speaker in Munich, said the Biden administration was still working to confirm whether Navalny had indeed died. “Whatever story they tell, let us be clear: Russia is responsible,” Harris said.

The question now is what comes next. In 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden warned Putin that Russia would face “devastating” consequences if Navalny died in prison. Already, reporters here have asked U.S. officials about what Washington’s response will be.

Biden gave his initial answer later in the day at the White House, and it’s one that’s not likely to satisfy Navalny’s incensed friends and supporters.

“That was three years ago. In the meantime, they faced a hell of a lot of consequences,” Biden said in response to questions about his 2021 comments. He cited steep Russian casualty figures in Ukraine and “great sanctions across the board.”

When asked if he’d roll out new sanctions on Russia, Biden gave a vague answer: “We’re looking at a whole number of options. That’s all I’ll say right now.”

Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas told SitRep that the West should work on tightening existing sanctions on Russia and put more secondary sanctions in place so that countries such as India that are courting the West while still buying Russian oil can no longer buy crude from the Kremlin.

U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron, meanwhile, echoed comments from Navalny’s wife, saying, “Putin should be accountable for what has happened. No one should doubt the dreadful nature of his regime.”

Beyond Navalny. After her comments about the Russian opposition leader’s death, Harris used her podium at Munich to make an election-year pitch for the Biden administration’s foreign policy, especially in the wake of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments over the weekend that he would let the Russians “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO allies who are slow to boost defense spending.

(NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said this week that 18 of 31 NATO member states will hit the alliance’s target of spending the equivalent of 2 percent of GDP on defense.)

Harris even had a campaign bumper sticker line ready-made for the moment. “Isolation is not insulation,” she said to the critics of the Biden administration’s globally minded foreign policy. “America cannot retreat. America must stand strong for democracy.”

In the eyes of most MSC conferencegoers, however, there’s a big, Congress-sized roadblock standing in the way of that.

The next tranche of $60 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine, as well as aid for Israel and Taiwan, is stalled in Congress as the House of Representatives goes on recess until the end of the month. Harris and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken thus face an uphill battle in trying to reassure allies about those U.S. commitments.

Both Harris and Blinken are set to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tomorrow. “We will work to secure critical weapons and resources that Ukraine badly needs,” Harris said. “The failure to do so would be a gift to Vladimir Putin.”

“If we stand by while an aggressor invades its neighbor with impunity, they will keep going,” Harris added. “And in the case of Putin, that means all of Europe will be threatened.”

Back at the White House, Biden was less diplomatic about the congressional impasse.

“It’s about time they step up now, don’t you think?” he said of Congress. “Instead of going on a two-week vacation? … Two weeks! What are they thinking? My God, this is bizarre, and it’s just reinforcing all the concern and almost—I won’t say panic—but real concern about the United States being a reliable ally.”

"Anyone who attacks 'Zionism' but does not want to say anything against 'the Jews' is deceiving themselves and others. The State of Israel is a Jewish state. Anyone who wants to destroy it, either avowedly or through a policy that can achieve nothing other than such destruction, is practicing the hatred of Jews of the past and of all time." - Hans Mayer, literary scholar, 1975. ❤

"Wer den ‚Zionismus‘ angreift, aber beileibe nichts gegen ‚die Juden‘ sagen möchte, macht sich und anderen etwas vor. Der Staat Israel ist ein Judenstaat. Wer ihn zerstören möchte, erklärtermaßen oder durch eine Politik, die nichts anderes bewirken kann als solche Vernichtung, betreibt den Judenhass von einst und von jeher."

- Hans Mayer, Literaturwissenschaftler, 1975. ❤

Mefistofele clips (Teatro la Fenice 2024)

I don't think they're filming this one properly but they did put a bunch of clips on, appropriately for this opera, the hellsite (derogatory), although they're mostly shot from an angle that is not very dynamic. Some of them still look pretty cool! Other choices seem a little more questionable. I think @tuttocenere is completely right that there's some definite inspiration from both the 1989 San Francisco one (with Samuel Ramey) and the 2015 Bayerische Staatsoper one (with Rene Pape). Anyway, here's some links for people who aren't tired of my constant spouting off about this opera (I am not gonna stop doing it but hey).

Prologue (MEPHISTOPHELES WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS TOWARD THAT CHOIRBOY)

Act I chorus (OLD MAN ON THE PITCH)

"Son lo spirito che nega" (okay I kinda love the delivery here and the constant violation of Faust's personal space)

"Ecco il mondo" (as discussed here)

Walpurgisnacht chorus (end of Act 2)

Walpurgisnacht chorus (another take)

And a few pics:

I used to do a lot more transatlantic stalking of theater productions back in this day. It's kind of a blast from the past.

SAINT PAUL PREACHING TO THE WOMEN OF PHILIPPI

Pieter Coecke van Aelst

Brussels, c. 1530 (design), before 1563 (execution)

Silk, wool, metal

The tapestry depicts a scene from the Acts of the Apostles: On the riverbank outside the city of Philippi, St Paul is speaking to the attentively listening women. Pieter Coecke van Aelst, at the time, one of the most famous Flemish artists provided an artistically impressive cartoon for the manufactory. But it is only directly in front of this enormous tapestry that one recognises the outstanding mastery of the tapestry weavers, who used a wide variety of techniques to create a textile work of art from the painted design. With nine tapestries, the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum today possesses the only complete series of the Paulus-tapestries based on this design. With its lavish use of precious gold threads, it is also the most richly decorated.

Ksenia Shevtsova, Vaganova graduate and Prima from the Stanislavsky Ballet, is leaving the company and joining Bayerische Staatsballett as a First Soloist starting next season!!! This most likely has something to do with Laurent Hilaire, who was the artistic director of the Stanislavsky and now is the director of Bayerische Staatsballett.

So, endlich ist das Urteil des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts da:

Die #Ausgangssperre in #Bayern zu Beginn der sog. Pandemie war unverhältnismässig und deswegen rechtswidrig!

Gegen was hat sie also verstossen?

Gegen unser #Grundgesetz, gegen die Bayerische #Verfassung, gegen die #Menschenrechte in der UN-Charta, gegen die Würde des Menschen, gegen die Christliche #Religion und in Verbindung mit der sog. Schlumpfung, die keine ist, gegen den #NuernbergerKodex!

Es handelte sich um #Freiheitsberaubung in Millionen Fällen.

Die Bayerische Regierung unter #Soeder und #Aiwanger muss nach diesem faschistischen Angriff auf das bayerische Volk umgehend zurücktreten und verurteilt werden!

Dafür kämpfe ich als Bayerischer Löwe der #BayernPartei!

Ich habe mich damals nicht an diesen faschistischen Schwachsinn gehalten, ich war nachts joggen. Ich bin seit dem 18. April 2020 sog. #Querdenker.

Und soll ich Euch was sagen? Es gibt nur Menschen, die quer- oder überhaupt denken und solche, die es verweigern.

Ehemals gute Freunde von mir, alle vehement dem Antifaschismus verschrieben, hatten sich darüber mokiert, dass ich auf Demos gehe, dass ich ein Nazi wäre.

Weil ich für unsere #Freiheit und #Grundrechte demonstrierte?

Haha, die waren so dumm, denn sie hatten sich auf die Seite der Faschisten gestellt und es nicht mal gemerkt.

Jetzt ist endlich der Weg frei für Schadensersatzforderungen der Unternehmen und für Klagen der Bürger.

Zeit für den #Bayxit! Raus aus #EUdssr und WHO!

Freiheit jetzt!!! 😍😍😍👍

We all love to complain about ballet/artistic directors, with good reasons. But what about the good ones? Any current director you've heard good things about? Or past directors?

The person who instantly came to mind was Kevin O'Hare, director of the Royal Ballet. Seems to be very even-tempered, flexible, and reliable. The company is nearly always in good form and he does a great job promoting new works and a decent variety of repertoire (even if I don't always love what he creates/comissions, at least he's putting a variety of people's works on a big stage. Now I wouldn't mind a bit more variety in casting, particularly for the broadcasts but I understand his decisions. When you've got 2-3 big stars the general public wants to see, how do you not highlight them?

I'm very keen to watch the future of ABT now that Susan Jaffe has been appointed as their new AD. After a short but successful tenure at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and her quite honestly, legendary, success as the Dean of the dance department at UNCSA, I'm excited to see her on the big stage, so to speak.

I respected Laurent Hilaire when he was working at Stasik, and now that he's taken over from Igor Zelensky (who I also liked for his cultivation of young talent) at The Bayerisches Staatsballett, I think the company is ready for a big upswing.

“The First Printed Editions of Herodotus

1474 to 4/20/1475

First page of the 1474 edition of Herodotus from the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.

Before December 1474 French printer Jacques le Rouge, whose name was Latinized to Jacobus Rubeus, issued the first printed edition of the Historiae of Herodotus from Venice. The text Rubeus used was the Latin translation by humanist Lorenzo Valla, who had also produced the first Latin translation of Thucydides. For Rubeus's edition Valla's translation was edited by Benedictus Brognolus (Benedetto Brognolo). In April 2014 a digital facsimile of this edition was available from the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek at this link.

Herodotus must have been a study seller in the fifteenth century. Less than a year later, on April 20, 1475, printer Arnold Pannartz in Rome issued the second printed edition of Herodotus's work, also in Valla's Latin translation, but this time with the text revised by humanist Johannes Andreas de Bussis (Giovanni Andrea Bussi), bishop of Aléria. Bussi was  the chief editor for the printing house of Conrad Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz after it moved from Subiaco to Rome. The partnership had dissolved in 1473, but in the following year Pannartz resumed publication on his own account, eventually producing another dozen books.

Three other editions of Herodotus in Latin appeared in the 15th century. In 1494 Johannes and Gregorius de Gregoriis, de Forlivio, of Venice re-issued Valla's Latin translation, this time edited by humanist pedagogue, grammarian, and rhetorician Antonio Mancinelli of Velletri. In April 2014 a digital facsimile of that edition was available from the Bayerisches Staatsbibliothek at this link. In 1495 Simon Bevilaqua of Venice reissued Mancinelli's edition together with Isocrates, Oratio de laudibus Helenae. In 1498 another version of that combination of texts was issued by Christophorus de Pensis, De Mandello, also in Venice.
