So different from the short story by Washington Irving, which is actually a parody of horror legends and tales... www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/41

Enjoying very much this 2023 sociology book on fathers as primary caregivers in New York by French sociologist Catherine Gillais. Oddly, (heterosexual) men seem to have become much more successful as fathers than as women's partners... link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

TIL that Steven Spielberg hired for Schindler's List (1993) Polish production designer Allan Starski and set decorator Ewa Braun. Both had worked in Europa Europa (1990) by Agnieszka Holland, and both won an Oscar for Schindler's List. He also designed Polanski's The Pianist (2002).

I lost interest when the franchise failed to cast Idris Elba for racist reasons. He was Daniel Craig's favourite and would have been perfect for the role.

TIL that Robert M. Haas designed BOTH versions of The Maltese Falcon (1931, 1941) and that the second one (Huston's debut film) was a B-series, low-budget movie ($300000). Haas built ceilings because Huston insisted on low-angle shots, which were also cheaper... TMF inaugurated US film noir

Governments expect young citizens to meekly accept the progressive loss of opportunities to live a dignified life while billionaires and shareholders reap all the benefits. I find the protests tame in comparison to the fury many young people must be feeling. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

TIL that Howard Fast published Spartacus (1951) after spending three months in prison for refusing to cooperate with McCarthy's witchhunt. He was blacklisted and had to self-publish his novel. Fast left the Communist party in 1957, and Crown picked up Spartacus in 1958. My lecture tomorrow...

I haven't been recommending books daily as I'm too busy, but here's one I have just read. It've very enjoyable, though it was not really what I expected. The author chooses a key male name for his eight chapters, from Aristotle to Bob Dylan and has something to say for fatherhood along history.

And how's The Rouse going? Would you recommend it? I'm both itching to read it and feeling very lazy about committing myself to such a long read... Or thick?

And on the Somorrostro, on Barcelona's beach. Now part of the city's tourist attractive... My parents' families used to live close by, until the whole area was 'cleaned up' in the 1980s in preparation for the Olympic games. The 'barracas' went before, but not too long before.

This is why we're rude to tourists... Without tourists the money poured into destroying what our city used to be would be put once more to better uses. We used to be known as a design centre, not a tourist hotspot until the Olympics, which totally killed Barcelona.

Ignoraba que 'destripes' como equivalent de 'spoilers' en castellano, está validado por la RAE desde hace años, y creo que a partir de ahora es lo que voy a usar... 'Espóilers' es un horror...

I totally love her 1999 book, a thorough dissection and critique of the fantasy of digital disembodiment and ensuing immortality. Body and mind are one, not two, and never immortal.

In Spanish that kind of exaggerated sleeve is called 'mangas de jamón', or ham sleeves, after jamón serrano... I have no idea why the early Victorians went that crazy with women's sleeves, however.
