I was able to find a longer clip of her via BBC iPlayer, but the IOC are copyright striking any videos outside of their official paid channels. How can it go viral when the IOC are so antiviral?!
Last and First Men. Breaks the convention of “show, don’t tell” entirely from start to finish. Still manages to be amazing.
American Movie
Heart’s cover of “Stairway” still makes me break out in goosebumps. Long live Ann Wilson, a voice for the ages!
I only stumbled across Jones’s art for the first time earlier this year. Absolutely crammed full of brilliant figure studies, and lovely fantasy and sci-fi images. Ordered a signed collection of her work.
Thank heavens for this man. Working WiFi helped me take my first steps into Linux and FOSS.
The king has laid himself down and will not rise again, The Lord of [WiFi] will not rise again; He overcame [Broadcom], he will not come again; Though he was strong of arm he will not rise again; He had wisdom and a comely face, he will not come again; He is gone into the mountain, he will not come again; On the bed of fate he lies, he will not rise again, From the couch of many colours he will not come again…
I like turtles. And giveaways. Mostly giveaways. But also turtles.
Another example is the area around the main train station, which used to be a carpark and bus station. It’s now an open public space and shopping center, viewable here. No cars, plenty of places to sit, and plenty of commerce.
That section of Krupnicza at the top of the post is doing fine in terms of business. There’s a nice stationery shop, a couple of bakeries, takeaway spots, and even a Starbucks–among others.
If you insist on a larger area full of trade with cars banned, you might consider ulica Grodzka, running from plac Wszystkich Świętych all the way to Wawel Castle. Several city blocks in length and full of shops and restaurants.
If none of that impresses, then maybe give us a concrete rubric, and I’ll see what other nice places in Krakow I can suggest.
Here are two photos of Plac Szczepański, another public space in Krakow, first in the 1960s(?) followed by the 2020s. It went from being a carpark to being a public square and splash park.
This is a powerful read. I can now better imagine the suffocating terror of having the Internet coming after you with the sole intent of total destruction. Thousands of people kicking down when you’re at your most exposed and vulnerable. Whom among us doesn’t need understanding, some grace and forgiveness, and some path to reconciliation? People. sigh
It seems they’re missing out on a memorable marketing campaign: Deploracoin! 100 Deploracoins = 1 Deplorabill.
