Баллада Рэдингской тюрьмы

не побоюсь сказать, что перевод Нины Воронель лучше оригинала.

не говоря уже о скверных переводах Брюсова и Бальмонта.

самки норки

Что касается самок норки, если они не пострадают физически от самца, то у них не будет овуляции. - Постельные войны
via laertan
In this context he makes comparison with the many examples of aggressively induced ovulation in mammals, including the extreme example of mink in which if the female does not experience physical trauma at the male's hands, she does not ovulate.

Умер Топаллер

@ Amiram Grigorov

вспоминается Bette Davis: "My mother taught me to say only good things about dead people. The bitch is dead - good!" Это она сказала, узнав о смерти Joan Crawford.

и, кстати, не зря у нас с Amiram Grigorov есть mutual friend Victor Toporov

Скучно Марине

первая постановка Самсон и Далила Сен Санса - в 1877, Борис Годунов Мусоргского впервые поставлен в 1874

некоторое сходство Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix [youtube] с арией Марины Мнишек [youtube] по-моему есть, хотя ария Марины гораздо более зверская, как и подобает Мусоргскому.
Скучно Марине...
Ах, как скучно-то!
. Мое сердце открывается твоему голосу

First-Rate Madness

A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness Paperback – June 26, 2012, by Nassir Ghaemi
This New York Times bestseller is a myth-shattering exploration of the powerful connections between mental illness and leadership. Historians have long puzzled over the apparent mental instability of great and terrible leaders alike: Napoleon, Lincoln, Churchill, Hitler, and others. In A First-Rate Madness, Nassir Ghaemi, director of the Mood Disorders Programme at Tufts Medical Center, offers and sets forth a controversial, compelling thesis: the very qualities that mark those with mood disorders also make for the best leaders in times of crisis. From the importance of Lincoln's "depressive realism" to the lacklustre leadership of exceedingly sane men as Neville Chamberlain, A First-Rate Madness overturns many of our most cherished perceptions about greatness and the mind.
Churchill would be thrilled. and Trump - too, it's Temporarily out of stock.

Pompatus

Some people call me the space cowboy yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
...
You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Oee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun

I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one

British society, however, was... mostly sympathetic to Germany's grievances against the Versailles Treaty. ... For London, no less than for Stalin, some sort of accommodation with Nazi Germany seemed the path to security. - pg 169, Stalin, Waiting for Hitler, 1929-1941, by Stephen Kotkin
