Napoleon was a master orator But we would NOT know this without Balzac In 1838, Balzac went through all of Napoleon speeches And saved his best insights in a book 10 bangers from the king👇🏻 1/ "I found the Crown of France lying in the gutter, and picked it up with my sword."

Watch this video. Share this video. As the rest of the world looks on in disgust at racism in Spanish football, the Spanish coverage blamed the victim of racist abuse. This is what is happening in Spain. Victim-blaming.

“Truly, though our element is time, We are not suited to the long perspectives . . . They link us to our losses: worse, They show us what we have as it once was, Blindingly undiminished, just as though By acting differently we could have kept it so.” Philip Larkin

During the greatest horrors of the greatest plagues, (Athens and Florence, for example – see Thucydides and Machiavelli) men were more cruel and profligate than ever. It is all a mystery. — Lord Byron, January 28 1821.

When I was a 16 year old waitress & regularly used to serve Van Morrison (rudest man on the planet) I learnt the valuable life lesson that a person can be a genius, and also an idiot.

I lost my dad - pictured here as a cheerleader - to suicide in 2014. One of the biggest risks we face in suicide prevention is the fear of the stigma associated with seeking help. To all those who support those in need, THANK YOU. #nationalsuicidepreventionday

When the portraits below were taken, the subjects were total unknowns. What they would go on to achieve was a million miles from inevitable, yet these incredible shots fill you with the unshakeable sense that these guys *had* to become superstars. RIP Astrid Kirchherr.

It will be Pubco rents that will bring down so many landlords and landladies. Greene King are demanding £8,000 a month from me even though I am forbidden from trading. Please retweet with #NoPubNoRent #GreeneKing.
