“We’re not done with genocide on the basis of race and ethnicity, and we live at a time when death can come out of the sky at any moment,” Greg said. "We fear nothing except that the sky might crash on us one day."
ellauri222.html on line 145: I remember saying to myself, “Well, why not take a short break and have at least as much freedom of movement as this running water.” My first thought was that I must get rid of the hospital novel—it was poisoning my life. And next I recognized that this was not what being a novelist was supposed to have meant. . . . I felt just now that I had allowed myself to be dominated by the atmosphere of misery or surliness, that I had agreed somehow to be shut in or bottled up.
ellauri226.html on line 70: Former Beach Boys Brian Wilson and Al Jardine say they want to make one thing clear — they had nothing to do with ex-bandmate Mike Love’s headlining performance at a President Trump fundraiser over the weekend. “We have absolutely nothing to do with the Trump benefit today in Newport Beach. Zero,’’ the musicians said.

It can stay up all night.” She settled down in the bed. “Can it?” She spoke so softly he scarcely heard what she said, but he did hear. He suddenly grinned. “Well, there’s no law against it, is there? Do you want me to stay?” “Now you’re making me wet,” the girl said and hid her face. “What a question to ask a lady.” "My spaghetti’s going to be world famous in a moment. I promise.”

ellauri263.html on line 387: This kind of blurring brings to mind US war-on-terror films such as Zero Dark Thirty, with its depiction of Osama bin Laden’s capture serving as a PR exercise for the use of torture during interrogations. Meanwhile, Fauda’s Isis storyline stretches credibility, at the same time feeding the worst stereotypes. “It’s a bit lazy. Isis is not really active in Gaza or the West Bank,” says Stern. Buttu adds that the effect is to reinforce the absence of a Palestinian cause. “We don’t have any legitimate grievances. It’s all Islamic-driven,” she says, noting that it “turns Palestinians into irrational figures who want only to kill Israelis”.

ellauri336.html on line 654: “We’re facing a massive wave of fossil fuel facilities that we’ve never seen before,” said Rebekah Hinojosa, a local organiser with the Sierra Club, a national environmental group. “The lifeblood of those communities is nature, ecotourism, shrimping, fishing, dolphin watch tours. Having a massive fossil fuel industry is not compatible.”
ellauri336.html on line 660: Collins doubts that a radical transformation is imminent. “We have climate change deniers running the government. So there’s really no benefit to them in restricting drilling if they think that the energy that is produced outweighs the risk,” he said.
ellauri339.html on line 622: It is all something of a set piece. America has an old habit of wandering into a conflict and then losing interest. “We have your back” and “we will not abandon you” join “the check’s in the mail” and “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” among joking faux reassurances. Our proxies seem to end up abandoned and hung out to die. As in Iraq and Afghanistan, never mind Vietnam before that, what was realized at the end could have most likely been achievable at pretty much anytime after the initial hurrahs passed away. It is sad that so many had to die to likely see it happen in 2023.
ellauri350.html on line 168: And after his defeat in 1948, the tart‐tongued Mrs. Longworth, a daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt and the widow of House Speaker Nicholas Longworth, remarked: “We should have known he couldn't win—a souffle never rises twice.”
ellauri391.html on line 229: After capably serving as Secretary of Commerce under Presidents Harding and Coolidge, Hoover became the Republican Presidential nominee in 1928. He said then: “We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land.” His election seemed to ensure prosperity. Yet within months the stock market crashed, and the Nation spiraled downward into depression.
ellauri406.html on line 372: Kyiv and its allies have denounced Russia’s military campaign as an unprovoked act of aggression. “Ukraine will lose more than 1,000 square kilometers (600 miles) by the end of the year,” if current conditions continue, said Oleksandr Kovalenko, a military analyst for Information Resistance, a Kyiv-based think tank. “We need to understand that if (allies) don’t defend Ukraine, it will make this war last for many more years, and finally, make it possible for us to lose the war,” he said.

In a statement on X, Smith said she had the opportunity to meet Trump at the resort and then at his golf club on Sunday morning. “We had a friendly and constructive conversation during which I emphasized the mutual importance of the U.S. – Canadian energy relationship, and specifically, how hundreds of thousands of American jobs are supported by energy exports from Alberta,” Smith wrote in the statement .

ellauri425.html on line 563: Ruch mourns that “We had the opportunity to stop a war…. So, why did all these people die? And this really got to me. I found that there was something deeply immoral in the decisions that were taken in London, in Washington, in Kiev… because we had a ceasefire close at hand, and then it’s the Americans, with their British allies, who said no.”

ellauri432.html on line 365: Trump has given some early signs that he might push back on attempts to punish American firms like Meta. While speaking at the World Economic Forum last month, the President said the EU shouldn’t be fining American companies, calling it “a form of taxation” and saying “We have some very big complaints with the EU.”

xxx/ellauri122.html on line 761: Hardly any Europeans would have even the vaguest idea how many people there are in “Western Europe”, since that is no longer a useful category. They would, however, know that the EU has a population of 450 million, and this is a useful category to have in your head, since it forms a trading bloc.
xxx/ellauri123.html on line 372: Weinreb grew up in Scheveningen, Netherlands, to which his family had moved in 1916, and became notorious for selling a fictitious escape route for Jews from the occupied Netherlands in the Second World War. When his scheme fell apart in 1944, he left his home in Scheveningen and went into hiding in Ede. He was imprisoned for 3½ years after the war for fraud as well as collaboration with the German occupier. In his memoirs, published in 1969 he maintained that his plans were to give Jews hope for survival and that he had assumed that the liberation of the Netherlands would take place before his customers were deported. The debate about his guilt or innocence—called the “Weinreb affair”—was very heated in the Netherlands in the 1970s, involving noted writers like Renate Rubinstein and Willem Frederik Hermans. In an attempt to end this debate, the government asked the Rijksinstituut Oorlogsdocumentatie (Netherlands institute for war documentation) to investigate the matter. in 1976 the institute issued a report (of which a part already was leaked to the press in 1973), which determined that his memoirs were "a collection of lies and fantasies," and that his collaboration had caused 70 deaths. Although his activities did contribute to some Jews' survival, most Jews who fell for Weinreb's swindle were deported and killed.

xxx/ellauri165.html on line 592: I heard Dawkins once quoting a priest he was having dinner with who had served in the hills of Papua New Guinea or someone like that the bible often mentions flocks and sheep/lambs/flock in terms of the congregation which was a problem there as many of these people had never seen a sheep they all had pigs. So the priest would start the Sunday Sermon with something like “Welcome swine”.
xxx/ellauri167.html on line 590: The mayor was a masterful machine politician, but he lacked nuance in his understanding of mass media. He refused permits for protesters, as if that would keep them from protesting and, therefore, prevent journalists from covering them. He had crude “We Love Mayor Daley” signs made, and had city workers to hold them up in front of the cameras. He stuck decals of himself on the phones in every delegate’s hotel room, which was a particularly dunderheaded move given that the city was in the middle of an electrical workers’ strike that made the phones all but useless.

xxx/ellauri218.html on line 445: The workers’ decision to strike was about far more than money. One sanitation worker, a shop steward, said it all at a standing-room-only union meeting two days before the vote: “We may handle garbage but we’re not garbage.”
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 151: Jesus Christ Superstar was controversial because the portrayal of Jesus as having moments of doubt, the focus on Judas Iscariot, and the implied romantic relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene upset many Christians. Why did Jesus Christ Superstar not include the Resurrection? Simple. Tim Rice, the lyricist, does not believe Jesus was the Son of God. Rice said, “We approached the opera from the point of view of Christ the man, rather than Christ the God. Rice and Lloyd Webber were in their 20s when they wrote Jesus Christ Superstar. How is Andrew Lloyd Webber so rich? Real estate investments: Aside from his musical career, Webber sources income from profitable investments in the real estate world. The prolific British composer behind "Cats," "Phantom of the Opera," and "Jesus Christ Superstar," built a billion-dollar fortune off blockbuster musicals. But Sir Paul McCartney was the richest musician in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2022.
xxx/ellauri442.html on line 244: Knowledge is not merely justified, true belief, but also “aha!” It is almost a gamble. Polanyi writes, “We take a plunge only in order to gain a firmer foothold”.
