La pregunta de Sócrates sigue vigente: ¿para qué nos sirven a todos los demás los individuos egoístas, interesados y codiciosos que convierten su voluntad en ley? A ellos les beneficia su avidez, de acuerdo, pero ¿por qué deberíamos aplaudirlos o votarlos? elpais.com/opinion/2026... @elpais.com

n my experience, most specialists in Greek comedy have zero sense of humour; the funny one all do tragedy. This miserable-looking if not paranoid Thalia, Muse of Comedy, 3rd c. CE, in Rhodes, seems to be setting a trend. More pictures of Thalia to follow.

What privilege it was to be at this great evening and to pay tribute to a superb musician and a wonderful human being. RIP Alfred. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

Brendel is celebrated in a glorious musical evening of silliness, sublime playing and warm affection

On what would have been Alfred Brendel’s 95th birthday, some of the world’s greatest musicians performed in a relaxed and joyous celebration of an outstanding musician and benevolent mentor

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

MailyEXPRESSOgraph TRIUMPH FOR REFORM AS IT SWEEPS INTO THIRD PLACE by Our Political Correspondent Hugh Kip In the most seismic upheaval in the history of politics, Nigel Farage's Reform party continued its inevitable march to Number 10 by spectacularly coming third in the Hamilton by-election. After a disastrous night for Labour which saw the party only come first and win the election, it was clear that Starmer's days are numbered. If this result were replicated in a General Election, Reform would win a massive no seats, while labour would be consigned to the dustbin of history with another massive majority. The records will show that our prediction that it would be a two horse race between the SNP and Reform became a reality - as the Scots rejected the discredited SNP and consigning them to second place. This proved, as we said, that Reform is the only option north of the border, apart from Labour. A bruised and battered Starmer was clearly on the ropes as he addressed cheering crowds, and he must now only be days away from resigning - thus paving the way for Nigel Farage and his four MPs to sweep to power.
