I have always been attracted to the voluptuousness of austerity.
I never chose the style of my life because it hurt. It was on the contrary.
I feel most comfortable and most abundant when things are very simple and I know where everything is and there’s nothing around that I don’t need.

Lenny,
Even though you intended to live forever, as per @NewYorker, October 2016, timeless profile.
You passed away on this day, 2016.
However.
Your findings still ring true.
Hence they are laws of human heart.
Thanks for your fearlessness, your honesty, your integrity, your impeccable manners, your humility and your depth of perception.
P.S. - Rebecca de Mornay's obituary holds up:
"There was no one like him, and there never will be."

Antes del 3 de Enero de 2026.
Esto era, directamente, impensable.
Agradecimiento eterno al ejército de EEUU.
Ver a @delcyrodriguezv de pornochacha del señorito Rubio tampoco lo pudimos anticipar, desmontando el régimen sin guerra civil ni muertes.
Exemplary planning and execution, @SecRubio.
Hoy —por primera vez— he podido hablar a los venezolanos desde la televisión más vista de su país.
Delcy Rodríguez es ya una presidenta póstuma.
Representa la tragedia, la tristeza, la tortura y el pasado.
La Libertad se abre paso.
Gracias al bravo pueblo venezolano. Y al liderazgo de @MariaCorinaYA

Ha muerto Mike Hammer, también conocido por el mote de Stacy Keach.
Este tipo me alegró unos cuantos ratos en los ochenta.
Hay quien dice que tuvo problemas con las drogas.
Pero esto ya lo formuló correctamente Keith Richards:
"Nunca he tenido problemas con las drogas, he tenido problemas con la policía".
Travel well, Mike.
Thank you for the good times.

Carta a la ciudadanía del PCE (Partido Cognitivo Español), emitida, directamente, por nuestro Presidente y candidato a la Presidencia del Gobierno, don Juan @abr65718638.
Si obtenemos los 300 escaños que nos atribuye el CIS el culogordismo clientelar, el racismo catalanovasco, el consenso woke y demàs monstruos de la razón pogresista will be put to rest in a timely manner.
Wow.
I like this Donald way better than the one he chooses to inhabit when dealing with people who think different.
Humanity, kindness and manners never must be left behind.

The New York Times has obtained the letter President Trump left for President Biden in the Oval Office in 2021.
The letter — which Trump wrote by hand using his signature black Sharpie — is printed in Biden’s forthcoming presidential memoir.

How can a terrorist regime that blinded these women, sexually assaulted these political prisoners, and subjected them to mock executions be nominated to a UN committee that helps shape programs on human rights?
This is not just a slap in the face to the people of Iran. It is an insult to every democratic nation that claims to stand for human rights.
We are standing in German Parliament with a mother whose daughter was executed with a woman whose brother was executed by this regime.
They are holding the pictures of protesters who received death sentence.
Now imagine telling these women and men that the very regime responsible for their suffering has been nominated to a UN committee that helps shape the organization’s programs and priorities.
How can you look these women in the eyes and still call this human rights diplomacy?
European Union country leaders shoud take notice as well.
These are the people we must, literally, fight for, focerfully and fully resolved.

En un futuro se debería prohibir todo el pack de delitos que en España comporta el contenido material del derecho a la huelga.
Como decía mi profesor de física:

Que les identifiquen y les repercutan el lucro cesante de cada comercio, a prorrata de subnormalidad.
Artefactos marxistas en 2026, no way.

Yeah, whatever!.

Brothel state of mind.
I dig full democracies level of scrutiny over public servants use of taxpayers funds.
“Rubio’s personal travel, through nearly two years on the job, appears to significantly outpace that of his predecessors, former State Dept. officials said. And it’s adding up: The flights have cost the government more than $1.2 million, The Post found.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Desmond's distinction explained:
Alice Huang looks more like a commercial fixer (掮客) who may also have served as a clean-handed front (白手套) for business interests than like a dedicated Ministry of State Security-style intelligence operative.
That distinction is meaningful in Chinese political-commercial jargon: one emphasizes deal facilitation and possible fronting for private or elite commercial interests; the other would emphasize formal intelligence collection and reporting to the state security apparatus. Both roles can overlap in practice, but they are not the same thing.
Alice Huang: The Spy Narrative Misses Her Real Business
Everyone on X seems to treat the “Alice Huang is a Chinese spy” narrative as established fact. I say, not so fast.
Having spent over two decades doing business in China, I recognize a different character: the 掮客 (commercial fixer) and 白手套 (white glove)—an intermediary who shields the real principals behind a deal.
Her career in Shanghai’s murky capital markets, followed by Megaspeed’s $4.8 billion in Nvidia chip purchases, reveals a strikingly similar pattern.
The relevant questions should be: Whose money? Whose chips? Whose interests?
My latest Substack follows the money rather than the sensational spy narrative.

We didn’t come to Berlin to tear down Germany’s flag. We came to ask Germany and other European countries to stand with us in tearing down the walls of dictatorship.
Thank you to the President of the German Bundestag, @JuliaKloeckner, for giving me the opportunity to bring fearless women dissidents from Iran, Afghanistan, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America into the heart of German democracy, the Bundestag, in the presence of the Presidents of both the German Bundestag and the French National Assembly.
At the Freedom and Security Women Summit, I delivered a direct challenge to Western feminists and leaders of democratic nations.
