Umberto Eco’s Numero Zero already in backpack and I need to reset myself after crazy week at work and hospital.

I'll take an antique 1960s tram straight to the south of the concrete megalithic city and go read a book under the shade of the trees of the forest on the outskirts. A little girl will play knight with shield and sword again, saying she's playing Dark Souls like me. I'll close my eyes and thank the gods that I'm still here, alive and can, with these drugs, at least have a coffee and eat a burger already.
And then, when I get home, I will learn some German words.

This list is by Umberto Eco as outlined in his 1995 essay "Ur-Fascism" via the Open Culture website - read and ponder the list, sure, but then go read the original essay.

I don’t like to do political things on social media, because it’s not a platform for serious discussion. Too much label slinging. But here’s a thoughtful and timely piece by Umberto Eco (I guess it would always be timely). Worth a read.

Ainsi, les médias, de fenêtre sur le monde, se sont transformés en miroir, les téléspectateurs et les lecteurs regardent un monde politique qui s’admire lui-même, comme la reine de Blanche-Neige.

At some point in your life, you should have read the (9 page) text "Ur-Fascism" by Umberto Eco. Better sooner than later.

Image is the poem that the text finishes with.
