Me and the fellas getting the oil around the Hormuz blockade
@nickames82.bsky.social nice piece on castel Di sangro this morning. When I was in Naples in 2019 I got talking to a woman who was delighted I had heard about it & the book. I also remember seeing that Gabriel gravina had become head of fgce, not sure the allegations at the end of the book hurt him

Very excited for the Olympics Opening Ceremonies today. Michel Houellebecq is going to read a special composition entitled “Beaucoup étrangers dégoûtant ici maintenant,” while the grandson of Marcel Marceau pretends he’s looking for his car keys.
Donald Trump is the oldest presidential nominee ever and clearly suffering from mental decline. Hope the media starts covering it.
I changed my mind I don’t want to live in interesting times anymore
