2 years ago today, the Paris Olympics

Gojira stationed on towers of the former palatial building of Conciergerie, that had served as a prison during the French Revolution & held Marie-Antoinette before she was beheaded.⁠
⁠Mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti sang while passing through on a float.

Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira,
Les aristocrates à la lanterne!
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira,
Les aristocrates on les pendra!

Le despotisme expirera,
La liberté triomphera
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira,
Nous n’ avons plus ni nobles, ni prêtres

Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira,
L’égalité partout régnera
Et leur infernale clique
Au diable s’envolera.

#bbcradio4 Christopher Nolan: “I did not use the term Xenia because that would have been confusing - I referred to it as Zeus’ law, which is another way that it’s referred to in the poem.
But that concept of ‘we have to treat others as we’d be treated’, this sort of golden rule, if you like, as I analyse the poem & as I looked at how to adapt it, I realised how central that is to a world where, when you leave the house, by definition, if you’re more than a day or two away from home, you are completely at the mercy of strangers. So, that code was the backbone of civilisation. Of course, as you work more & more on the script, what you understand is: it’s still the backbone of our civilisation, it’s still everything, it defines civilisation.
And that’s where with Homer - yes, the practices on the surface of things seem very alien to us, it is a very different world, but as you start to play with it, to look at how it affects the characters & how they live in that world, you suddenly realise that, the reason after 3.000 years, Homer is still important to us, is because the characters are absolutely relatable & important to us today, just the way they were 3.000 years ago, it’s kind of an incredible connection that you make with that all the time.”

#bbcnews Ukrainian drones have been striking warehouses belonging to Russia`s biggest online retailer, Wildberries.
Company officials stated that warehouses in Nevinnomyssk (in Stavropol Krai) & Krasnodar were hit, leaving several people injured.
They came just four days after attacks on other company facilities killed eight workers & injured dozens, according to Russian officials.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the hubs were "involved in providing the Russian army with drone components, navigation equipment & other gear".
Russia denies the claim.

#bbcnews Ukraine is struggling to mobilise men to fight in the war against Russia as the conflict enters into its fifth year.
The reasons many young people are hesitant to sign up range from plain fear of the front line to a reluctance to fight in a war with no end in sight, many casualties & disabled combatants.

#cnn Volodymyr Zelensky’s decision Tuesday (21.07) to replace Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, 60-year-old Oleksandr Syrskyi, with Mykhailo Drapatyi who is 43 years old, comes in the wake of protests, after the president of Ukraine fired his 35-year-old Defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov.
Nick Paton Walsh (npwcnn) lays out how, even with the shake-ups, bringing in a younger general from a newer generation of military leaders to replace a Soviet-era one - the same big challenges remain: low manpower, heavy Russian strikes, a war raging since 24 February 2022 & winter approaching.

#tarakangarlou “I just got off the phone with a young woman, who lives in Chabahar - the port city at the edge of the Gulf of Oman - a gateway, that long connected Iran to the Indian Ocean - where US airstrikes just destroyed its maritime tower & where its turquoise waters lap against rust-red cliffs, jagged rock formations & its famed Martian mountains, creating one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the Middle East.
‘Are we going to see a ground invasion?’, she asked me. I didn’t know what to say.
She, then, went on to capture what so many Iranians have told me, from the very start of this war. ‘We’re tired, lonely & lost.’
So far, this week - in just 8 days amidst what’s meant to be a ceasefire - more than 50 people (mainly civilians) have been killed & 500 injured across the southern provinces of Iran; a water desalination plant was hit in Jask (in Hormozgan Province) cutting drinking water for more than 10,000 people; a main bridge hit & destroyed in Khuzestan province, where a children’s cancer hospital was also evacuated.
‘The sounds are horrific. I saw an explosion near a hospital that’s just a block away from our home. It’s hard, painful - we don’t know what’s next.’
She sent me this video.
Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar & Jordan have also come under fire by Iran with 2 US service members killed overnight.”
