Trump suggested that he'd only accept #tariff #negotiations with the EU if the EU commits to paying a large, #yearly sum of money.

We have a word for that: #tribute

#Trump expects / demands the #EU to pay tribute to the #US.

Just #fuckoff already!

I'm not one to agree with the #Chinese #government often, but they called it nicely: the US is a #bully.

@EUCommission if you guys #negotiate, you might as well start licking his boots and pay tribute.

We'd rather see the #EU become it's own #NuclearPower and yeeting the #USA in favour of #Ukraine & #Mexico joining than any of it's members becoming #VassalStates paying #Tribute to the #US!

  • Espechally since the #NATO and it's #SecurityArhitecture was made up by the US and once led by it (can't wait for the #SACEUR to be elected instead of being appointed by the #USA!)

All #Trump does is make the USA weaker, #USpol look more unpredictable and destroy 70+ years of relationships.

  • So even if #AOC would get elected as next #POTUS (I doubt that Trump will even allow any elections anymore!) not even two terms would be enough to broom aside the glass shards Trump left throwing hand grenades inside a glass -walled greenhouse [german proverb]...

I mean, what else do we expect from #AgentKrasnov?

Georgiana Brummell

On 30 March, 1840, the long and terrible suffering of a truly magnificent man finally ended, and the world lost the best example of dandyism it has seen before or since. While I normally love to celebrate the birth of George Bryan (Beau) Brummell with links, facts, and a sense of excitement, there is a sort of quiet acceptance on his death anniversary that some things must, and should, end. The last year and a half of his life was torture. But the life, itself, was one filled with so many highs and lows, from being at the very top of society and friends with the Prince Regent to at the very bottom and penniless in an assylum, from dictating fashions and the whims of the upper eschilons of the bon ton to having only one pair of trousers, that it could very well be a tragedy written for the stage. Yet, in his sixty-one years, Brummell single-handedly changed the face of male fashion forever, and bent the will of his superiors to his own, thereby achieving a goal that most in his own class, let alone below it, could only dream of. And his dreams, when they did come in fits of madness, were not generally of regrets and things that he wished he could have done and seen, but of ones that he actually experienced. From him, we learn not only about the necessity of cleanliness and dressing well, but also about enjoying all that life has to offer, persuing one's passions, and that one not need change the world through grand deeds or conventional accomplishments. Sometimes, just being oneself and following one's own path to reach one's dreams is enough. And really, what do we take with us but our memories? What do we leave behind but the memories of those who knew us, and at times, glimpses into our lives and world via letters, diaries, memoirs, and biographies, if we are lucky enough to have them written about us? The world of Brummell may be long gone, but these lessons, this great achievement of immortality, shall remain with us. And, for those of us who love dandyism, we will have a great model to learn from, and in some cases, to base our own desires for a partner upon. Who better to represent the ultimate ideal than the man who embodied it?

I'm posting this here as well as on my usual blob.cat instance, since that one doesn't federate as widely, so I apologise to those who may see it twice.
On 6 March, 1951, the world lost a genius and a truly amazing man. Known mostly for the lovely, romantic music in his operettas such as Glamorous Night, The Dancing Years, Perchance to Dream, and King's Rhapsody, among others, he also wrote one of the most famous songs of World War I (Keep the Home Fires Burning), at least one review (Theodore and Co.), and starred in several silent films and talkies. A man of many talents, Ivor Novello worked with a range of wonderful singers, as well as the librettist, Christopher Hassall, who brought his music to life. Below, I have provided some links for you to enjoy. As a side note, for those looking for gay role models, you should definitely research him. While it was illegal to be openly homosexual during his lifetime, he had a relationship that lasted for thirty-five years!

This is the Wikipedia entry for Ivor Novello.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivor_Nov…

Since I mentioned him, and since he was such an integral part of Novello's work, here is the entry for Christopher Hassall. It's worth noting that there are several Youtube videos of him reading both his own poetry and the works of others.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christop…

Incredibly, a mere two days after Novelllo's death, those who knew him best created an extraordinary tribute to him. It contains live performances, not only of songs, but of a few scenes from his earlier works and famous operettas, providing an invaluable window into the excellent vocal and acting styles of the time.

This is a play in which Novello himself starred. While he didn't normally speak this way (publically, at least) he was from Wales, so this is probably the accent he heard while growing up. This was later turnd into the full-length work entitled Valley of song, and was completed by Christopher Hassall upon Novello's death.

Here he is narrating a few scenes from King's Rhapsody. This is extremely interesting, because no one else is acting. I'm not quite sure what this was meant to be. That is, a demonstration, a trailer, just the author's thoughts? Regardless, it's a wonderful treat for the ears.

Finally, here is a wonderful series of highlights from King's Rhapsody, by the original cast!

There are several other videos of Novello's work on Youtube, including full films (both silent and talking), individual songs, and a full tribute concert from 1979. But this should serve as a decent introduction.
