Love to get adult content warnings for sharing the artwork on display inside the Vatican Museum before you reach the Sistine chapel.
A photo of my last skeet with an adult content warning. It contains photos I took of the gallery at the Vatican museum, on display outside the Sistine chapel, too adult for this website.

The incredible ‘modern’ art collection is right before the Sistine chapel when you’ve already seen so much museum so it’s easy to pass through quickly. Very glad I didn’t.

Born on this day in 1571, in Milan, the incomparably brilliant Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Here (more or less) by himself. Shocked at being dead.

1/26 In August 1942, an island was weeks from surrender, and everything depended on one tanker. She was torpedoed, bombed, had two aircraft crash onto her, broke her back, was abandoned twice, and arrived with her decks awash, lashed between two destroyers. The SS Ohio. A🧵 #maritimehistory

It’s John Coltrane’s centennial today. Which Coltrane album are you listening to right now ? (There are no wrong answers.)
Cover of John Coltrane “Expression” LPBack cover of Coltrane “Expression” LPPERSONNEL
JOHN COLTRANE, tenor sax
ALICE COLTRANE, piano
JIMMY GARRISON, bass
RASHIED ALI, drums
OGUNDE (Recorded March 17, 1967)
OFFERING (Recorded February 15, 1967)
EXPRESSION (Recorded March 17, 1967)
JOHN COLTRANE, flute
ALICE COLTRANE, piano
JIMMY GARRISON, bass
RASHIED ALI, drums
PHAROAH SANDERS, piccolo
TO BE (Recorded February 15, 1967)Liner notes excerpt (by Nat Hentoff): The way Coltrane put it was: "I want to be a force for real good. In other words, I know that there are bad forces, forces that bring suffering to others and misery to the world, but I want to be the opposite force, I want to be the force which is truly for good."
This was a man who, as Jimmy Garrison said, had discovered what he was on earth to do; and because he had so clear and urgent a sense of the reason for his being, he was able to focus all his energies on that reason, by contrast with the scattered use most of the rest of us make of our capacities.

Thank you for this post - I saw this book on a colleague's shelf and borrowed it for a long flight and read the entire thing while traveling to a neighborhood near where Lemkin is buried. I will visit his grave tomorrow and think about my family from Malapolska and our freedom of association.

Die großen politischen Verbrecher müssen durchaus preisgegeben werden und vorzüglich der Lächerlichkeit. Denn sie sind vor allem keine großen politischen Verbrecher, sondern die Verüber großer politischer Verbrechen, was etwas ganz anderes ist. Das Scheitern seiner Unternehmungen bedeutet nicht, daß Hitler ein Idiot war. Daß er gescheitert ist, zeigt nicht, daß Hitler ein Idiot war, und das Ausmaß seiner Unternehmungen macht ihn nicht zu einem großen Mann.
Wenn die herrschenden Klassen, es zulassen, dass ein kleiner Gauner ein großer Gauner wird, hat er in unserer Sicht der Geschichte keinen Anspruch auf eine privilegierte Stellung. Das heißt, daß die Tatsache, daß er ein großer Gauner wird und daß das, was er tut, große Folgen hat, nicht zu seinem Ansehen beiträgt. Man kann sagen, daß die Tragödie die Leiden der Menschheit weniger ernsthaft behandelt als die Komödie.
The great political criminals must be exposed and exposed especially to laughter. They are not great political criminals, but people who permitted great political crimes, which is something entirely different. The failure of his enterprise does not indicate that Hitler was an idiot. If the ruling classes permit a small crook to become a great crook, he is not entitled to a privileged position in our view of history. That is, the fact that he became a great crook and that what he does has great consequences does not add to his stature. One may state that tragedy deals with the sufferings of mankind in a less serious way than comedy.

I would also watch the spinoff about his father, also named Roger Casement. . .
Casement’s father, also named Roger (1819-77), had led a romantic career as a young captain serving in the Third Dragoon Guards in India. His views, however, were not always orthodox; among his surviving papers, a long essay on Hindu mysticism indicates an interest in the eternal nature of ‘spirit’. Invariably, these views would have influenced his children but they were. . .

Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we’d all be dead. It’s taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 30% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.
