Hoje ele faz 9 anos... e eu esperei 2 anos por ele, o Debut da Ariana Grande, Yours Truly.
Eu estava no terceiro ano do ensino médio e esse álbum me acompanhou até o cursinho.
FAIXAS
Honeymoon Avenue foi um choque pra mim porque ela sempre performou de forma rápida, e o instrumental de violino (?) é fantástico.
Baby I eu fiquei muito fissurada com o clipe, comprei até um macacão por causa dele. No cursinho eu me imaginava dançando ela na escola, porque o pessoal estava ensaiando uma música da Ke$ha.
Tattoed Heart: ahhhh minha adolescência... essa música era tudo.
Piano: uma das minhas favoritas até hoje.
The Way feat. Mac Miller: eu vivi o crescimento dela, lembro da foto da Ariana na escada depois que ficou em #1 no iTunes. Acho que por ter tocado tanto saturou pra mim, mas hoje, ao ouvir novamente, me veio um vazio e uma tristeza, por saber que ele se foi, pois penso muito nela e o quanto ela sofreu com a morte dele.
You’ll Never Know é aquela música que quando eu era mais nova eu ouvia de boa, mas ela foi crescendo demais em mim, é minha favorita não-single.
Almost Is Never Enough feat. Nathan Sykes eu acho incrível ter quase 6 minutos e ela passar tão rápido.
Popular Song é minha outra favorita.
CHARTS

This 2013 contemporary house looks like a spread out deck of cards, and is named Cascade. It's in Park City, Utah, has 4bds, 6.5ba, is $24.9M + $300mo. HOA. It's been on the market for almost a year, so no takers yet. We must investigate this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's nice, though. I hope those plants convey- they have the matching containers and everything.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The best things in the living room are the colorful paintings and fireplace against the gray walls. Look at that block of stone on the table.
Tumblr media
Look at this odd feature. You can either go thru it or around it.
Tumblr media
I think that color is key in this house, maybe that's why it's not selling. All white is one thing, but black floors and gray stone walls gives off a depressing prison-like vibe.
Tumblr media
Here's a nice view of a waterfall.
Tumblr media
Very contemporary TV room. Love the fireplace, but it needs some color other than black and gray.
Tumblr media
In the dining room, I like the floating sideboard.
Tumblr media
This is all they show of the kitchen. It sure is big and spread out. There're walls between the counter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The primary bedroom is large, and they have a table and sideboard, plus a patio.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The baths are very large and curved with lots of walls. I can't even figure them out.
Tumblr media
Okay, so here's some curved wood to warm the place up a little.
Tumblr media
Closets in the hall are always a good thing.
Tumblr media
This looks like an entertaining area- a bar and the piano.
Tumblr media
Outside is a huge multi-level patio. The grand outdoor (heated) terraced patio is large enough to hold hundreds of guests in winter, spring, fall and summer. How is it heated, though? The floor?
Tumblr media
It has a patio that holds 100s of people, but I don't see a pool
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It looks like each room has its own patio and garden.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's a stream on the property.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A bridge with glass goes over the garages to a waterfall.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Property measures 5.61 acres.

The Smile's 2024 Tour Rehearsal Setup
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On March 5 and March 6, The Smile shared photos taken by Ade B during rehearsals for the band's 2024 tour dates. In the photos, the band are set up in Air Studios’ Lyndhurst Hall. It's a space where Jonny has frequently recorded orchestras, including for the Phantom Thread soundtrack. A photo from circa-2014 revealed that Radiohead’s string arrangements for Spectre (and possibly Man of War) were also recorded in the room.
The Smile’s live setup largely resembles the one they used for their tour dates last year. This isn’t a surprise, since many songs from the band’s latest album were written on the road. However, there is some new gear which seems to be intended for material off the new album. Further down in this post, we’ll list all of the gear, but we’ll highlight the changes first.
Electric Cello and Viola
Almost certainly the biggest surprise is that Jonny has added an electric cello and an electric viola to his setup. In the past, Jonny has occasionally played bowed string instruments on recordings, but they were always acoustic instruments, and he's never brought them on tour. Most of the time, Jonny only used his viola to sketch out string arrangements, which were then recorded by other players. And at live shows, Jonny has always bowed his electric guitar or bass to emulate those string arrangements, whether it's the harmonics on Pyramid Song or the col lengo crunch on Burn The Witch.
However, Jonny has started to play the cello more regularly in the past few years. In an interview from the 2010s, Jonny mentioned that he could make noises that he’s happy with on a cello, but claimed his left hand isn’t precise enough to perform with it. Then in 2019, he mentioned that, compared to viola, the cello "feels much more natural to hold and so much easier to make a nice sound on — I only wish I had moved on to it when I was a kid” (The Times). In 2021, he was credited with cello in the liner notes for the Power of the Dog soundtrack, applying banjo-style technique to the instrument. And this year, he was credited with cello in the liner notes for Wall of Eyes. In fact, Jonny can be seen playing his acoustic cello in a couple of polaroids posted in March 2023, during the recording of the new album.
Tumblr media

Digital “Upright” Piano
On every tour since 1997, Radiohead have brought an acoustic upright piano on tour. Usually they brought a Yamaha U1, though more recently they’ve favored a Kemble KC121 (essentially a U1 built at Kemble’s factory in the UK, rather than by Yamaha in Japan). The same was true for Atoms for Peace shows in 2010 and 2013. The Smile followed this trend, bringing an acoustic upright along for all of their tour dates from 2021-2023.
However, given how few of the Smile's songs require piano, it’s understandable that they’d switch to a digital instrument instead. The one they chose is a Nord Grand digital piano, which features fairly authentic piano hammer-action made by the piano maker Kawai.
For some solo shows in support of Anima, Thom brought a Waldorf Zarenbourg for sampled acoustic and electric piano sounds. Thom only played it for a couple songs each night, so it was understandable that he didn’t want to tour with an acoustic upright. However, it’s interesting that The Smile are still using their vintage Rhodes electric piano, rather than using the Nord Grand for Rhodes sounds in addition to acoustic piano sounds. Perhaps keyboard action is the reason: the hammer action of the Nord might be accurate for piano, but it’s probably a little heavy for Rhodes playing. Plus it’s clear that the band enjoy having a lot of keyboard on stage to experiment with.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Closeups showing the Nord Grand in its custom black stand.
Sequential Prophet 6
One benefit of the digital piano is that its shorter stand leaves space for a keyboard to rest on top. For this tour, Thom has brought along his Prophet 6, which he previously used for the Suspiria soundtrack and for shows in support of Anima. This isn’t the first time that the band have mixed piano and synth. Thom did velcro a Dave Smith Instruments Tetra to Radiohead’s upright piano from 2012-2013. However, that synth saw little use, perhaps because of the Tetra’s minimal control layout.
The band now have three Prophet synths in their active setup: the Dave Smith Prophet ’08 beneath the modular, the Sequential Prophet 5 REV4 on top of the Rhodes piano, and the Sequential Prophet 6 on top of the digital piano.
Earthquaker Devices Blumes
In addition to the Earthquaker Devices Plumes overdrive on Thom’s board (note the green), it looks like he’s added a Blumes overdrive as well (the similarly-sized yellow box). The Blumes is intended as a bass-friendly version of the Plumes. Thom was already using the Plumes with his bass guitar for a very punchy sound, so it’ll be interesting to see how he uses the bassier Blumes.
The green of the Plumes and yellow of the Blumes can also be seen on Thom’s backup pedalboard, which is resting on top of one of the gear cases by Thom’s guitar stands.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Closeups of Thom's guitar and vocal pedalboards (left) along with his backup guitar pedalboard (right).
Eventide Pitchfactor
It looks like Thom has added an Eventide Pitchfactor to his vocal pedalboard. It's in the spot where he had an Eventide H9 on the last tour, so it's likely that he was using the H9 for pitch shifting sounds. The H9 features all of the algorithms from the Pitchfactor (as well as the other Eventide pedals), but it has far fewer knobs so controlling it is more cumbersome.

It appears that Jonny has stopped touring with his Oberheim SEM Pro synthesizers, which he'd used for bass sounds on previous tours. So he's likely either using samples or his Prophet 5 for all of his bass synth needs.

As the tour has turned out to be a rollercoaster of emotions and nostalgia, I decided to concentrate in a small masterpost each of the surprise songs played by the guys throughout the whole tour. It will be constantly updated and is not free of errors, if you notice any mistake in the dates or the position of the songs, feel free to comment and I will fix it. By now the source is the people who had contributed to the setlist.fm website, so I will try to look for more reliable sources with links to their respective creators (and also videos if it's possible) Thanks for reading, and happy tourdust to all. 🖤✨

QUANDO C'ERA LUI
Tumblr media
Berlusconi era postfascista sionista sessista sfruttatore approfittatore megalomane e tutto il peggio che già sappiamo. Ha raccontato così tante volte le stesse cazzate che per molte persone queste sono diventate vere. Non lo rispettavo da vivo, ma molti dicono che dovrei farlo ora che è morto. Perché i morti meritano rispetto. Questa è un'altra cazzata partorita dal grande appiattimento culturale operato da lui e dai suoi collaboratori dal 1994 a oggi sfruttando i mezzi d'informazione e plasmando le leggi a suo piacimento. Un meccanismo che dopo un po' non ha avuto più bisogno di energia per macinare del marcio, andava avanti da solo, in automatico, iniettando oscenità e buffonate quotidiane nei cervelli, tanto da arrivare a dedicare a una persona del genere il lutto nazionale. Non che mi importi della nazione, concetto per me senza valore, ma il grande piano di pacificazione, del siamo tutti uguali, del "nel bene e nel male ha fatto la storia dell'Italia" e del santificare chi ha devastato un Paese, continua e continuerà finché esisterà una gestione del potere tale da dividerci in sfruttati e sfruttatori. Un sistema talmente corrotto e insito nella società che gli sfruttati piangeranno lo sfruttatore dopo la sua morte, mettendolo a pieno titolo dentro al grande insieme del "si stava meglio quando c'era lui." Di una cosa però quasi lo ringrazio, aver fatto capire a quelli della mia generazione da che parte stare. Quella degli ultimi, degli sfigati, degli emarginati, degli insoddisfatti, dei sempre arrabbiati. La stessa parte degli antifascisti, dei solidali, degli ironici, dei romanticamente illusi. Dei perennemente sconfitti, ma invidiosi mai.

A Film A Year
Tumblr media
Going through an old hard drive today I found this almost-completed list from 2015 in which I'd set myself the task of choosing a single film for each year of the preceding hundred. It was interesting to see in what ways my tastes had changed and just how many more films I'd discovered and fallen in love with in the meantime.
Anyways, I thought I'd finish it off and update it to the present: I very much tried to keep it to just one film per year, but the competition some years was just too high so they've had to share joint first places:
1915 A Night In The Show 1916 The Vagabond 1917 Easy Street 1918 A Dog's Life 1919 Sunnyside 1920 One Week 1921 The Kid 1922 Dr Mabuse, The Gambler 1923 Safety Last / Why Worry? 1924 Sherlock Jr / The Last Laugh 1925 The Gold Rush 1926 The General 1927 Sunrise / Seventh Heaven 1928 The Last Command / Steamboat Jr. / The Man Who Laughs / The Passion of Joan of Arc 1929 The Love Parade / Un Chien Andalou / Lucky Star 1930 All Quiet On The Western Front 1931 City Lights/ The Smiling Lieutenant 1932 Horse Feathers / Love Me Tonight 1933 Duck Soup / The Invisible Man 1934 It Happened One Night 1935 The 39 Steps 1936 My Man Godfrey 1937 Nothing Sacred 1938 Adventures Of Robin Hood / Pygmalion 1939 The Cat And The Canary / The Wizard of Oz / The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1940 His Girl Friday / Pinocchio 1941 Citizen Kane / The Maltese Falcon / Dumbo / Sullivan's Travels 1942 Casablanca 1943 Le Corbeau 1944 Arsenic & Old Lace 1945 Les Enfants du Paradis / And Then There Were None 1946 A Matter of Life and Death 1947 Black Narcissus 1948 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1949 The Third Man / Kind Hearts & Coronets 1950 Sunset Blvd. / La Ronde 1951 A Streetcar Named Desire 1952 Singin' In The Rain / Le Plaisir 1953 Calamity Jane 1954 Hobson's Choice 1955 The Night Of The Hunter /The Ladykillers 1956 The Searchers 1957 The Seventh Seal 1958 Vertigo 1959 North By Northwest / Ballad of A Soldier 1960 Psycho / The Virgin Spring / Two Women 1961 Breakfast At Tiffanys 1962 Le Doulos 1963 The Great Escape / The Birds 1964 Onibaba 1965 For A Few Dollars More 1966 Blow Up 1967 Le Samourai / Cool Hand Luke 1968 2001: A Space Odyssey 1969 Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid 1970 Le Cercle Rouge 1971 Get Carter / Harold & Maude 1972 The Godfather 1973 Don't Look Now 1974 The Godfather Part II / Chinatown 1975 Jaws / The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1976 Network 1977 Star Wars / Annie Hall 1978 Halloween / Superman 1979 Apocalypse Now / Alien / Life Of Brian / Manhattan 1980 Stardust Memories / Raging Bull 1981 Raiders Of The Lost Ark 1982 Blade Runner / The Thing 1983 The Dead Zone / Zelig 1984 Ghostbusters / The Terminator / Blood Simple 1985 Back To The Future 1986 Hannah & Her Sisters / The Fly 1987 Withnail & I / Wings of Desire 1988 Dangerous Liaisons 1989 Crimes & Misdemeanors / Dead Poets Society 1990 Goodfellas 1991 The Silence of The Lambs / Terminator 2 1992 Reservoir Dogs / The Player 1993 Schindler's List / Groundhog Day 1994 Pulp Fiction 1995 Se7en / Casino / The Usual Suspects 1996 Fargo 1997 LA Confidential / Grosse Point Blank / Boogie Nights 1998 The Truman Show / Happiness / Buffalo '66 1999 American Beauty / Magnolia / Being John Malkovich / Fight Club 2000 Memento 2001 Mulholland Drive / The Royal Tennenbaums / The Piano Teacher 2002 Adaptation / The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2003 Lost In Translation 2004 Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind / The Life Aquatic 2005 Me & You & Everyone We Know 2006 The Prestige / Perfume 2007 No Country For Old Men / There Will Be Blood 2008 The Dark Knight / Let The Right One In / Tropic Thunder 2009 Cold Souls / Up / Zombieland 2010 I Saw The Devil / The Ghost Writer 2011 The Hidden Face 2012 The Avengers 2013 Her 2014 The Grand Budapest Hotel / The Winter Soldier 2015 The Survivalist / The Lobster 2016 Like Crazy 2017 Coco 2018 Deadpool 2 2019 The Irishman 2020 Kajillionaire 2021 The French Dispatch 2022 The Banshees of Inisherin

Task 2: Show Me What You Made Of Tw: Menção de suicídio, Menção de abuso de drogas N/A: Esse POV também explica porque ela não estava presente na hora da invasão do Jawie e nem do anúncio do reitor e o que aconteceria se o Jacob for salvo (Sim, é possível salvar o Jacob).
Tumblr media
Fazia muito tempo que não pisava em Heavenly Ponds. Ela descobriu aquele lugar eventualmente, mas quando ouviu alguns dos garotos da rua comentando sobre um lago onde se dava pra ver estrelas bem perto do chão, ainda chamavam de Poço dos Vagalumes. Não sabia direito como havia parado ali, já que quando saiu da casa dos Parton por mais que seu cérebro dissesse para voltar ao dormitório na UCLA, de alguma forma suas pernas a levaram para outro lugar e não ajudava que a residência em questão era no mesmo bairro onde havia morado um dia. A conversa que tivera mais cedo com Jawie com certeza acabou levando-a para um lugar que há muito tempo não pensava, tanto figurativamente quanto literalmente.
Sentada ali na grama, com o vento batendo e o cheiro de orvalho da manhã subindo enquanto sentia a sobriedade voltando, era impossível não sentir o pouco do vazio que se esforçava pra esconder todos dias da melhor forma possível, lá estava ele, dando um tchauzinho como um passageiro escondido no fundo do ônibus para dar um calote na passagem. Riley vinha ali em todas as vezes em que se sentia assim e a festa de Cora a fez pensar nele pela primeira vez desde que voltara a 2013.
Era um ritual próprio entre eles dois e que ela sabia que, se fosse o contrário, ele também faria o mesmo. Os dedos brincavam com as cordas do violão que pegara no quarto do irmão de Cora. Estava desafinado, indicando que fazia muito tempo desde que fora usado, Riley podia se lembrar de como Samuel, seu tio por parte do pai, tentou ensiná-la a tocar o instrumento, mas nunca tivera muito afinidade com ele como tinha com o piano.
Ainda sim, tio Sammy conseguiu lhe ensinar alguns acordes no dia em que pediu para ele a levar no Poço dos Vagalumes a primeira vez. Foram semanas até vencê-lo pelo cansaço e o homem concordar em levá-la, mesmo com uma asma infernal que o fazia parar um ou duas vezes durante a extensa caminhada para usar a bombinha de Aerolin. A pequena estava animada e orgulhosa de sua primeira aventura, não que seus pais fossem impedi-la de fazer algo assim, algumas vezes até acreditava que eles poderiam incentivá-la a simplesmente desaparecer em algum lugar e nunca mais voltar. Parte dela, algumas vezes também queria sumir e nunca mais botar o olho naquele casal que parecia qualquer outra coisa, menos pais de verdade. A única coisa que evitava de algo assim acontecer era o Tio Sammy, que a contra gosto de sua mãe, morava na casa da piscina da grande residência em Hollywood Hills (Que Riley odiava, diga-se de passagem. Ainda sentia falta da casa no subúrbio em Pasadena) e que a esperava todos os dias depois da escola com uma pilha de panquecas e ficavam assistindo desenhos até tarde da noite ou que a levava para futebol ou para o arcade, onde ele a ensinou a trapacear para conseguir mais fichas nas máquinas de brinde. Sammy era seu melhor amigo, e algumas vezes até desejava que ele fosse seu pai de verdade, porque ele fazia com ela coisas que os pais das outras crianças faziam também.
À sombra de algumas árvores, uma grama baixinha e o vento sussurrando com um céu tingido de amarelo, azul e algumas gotas do preto da noite se aproximando enquanto Sammy montava uma barraca para que eles acampassem ali. A água do lago sereno repousa, refletindo o céu começando a ser tomado por pontos brancos como um espelho líquido. As águas tranquilas acolhem os últimos raios do sol, criando um jogo de luz e sombra dançante.O murmúrio suave da água se mistura com o canto dos pássaros, e o balançar das cordas do violão com os acordes de uma melodia que Sammy tocava enquanto o fogo crepitava, criando uma sinfonia natural que acalma os sentidos. Ela lembrava ainda de como seu tio ficava feliz quando eles iam até o Poço dos Vagalumes, e de como aquele havia virado um lugar de fuga para os dois, era como se a expressão triste taciturna que estava sempre no rosto dele quando ele achava que ninguém estava olhando não existia. Parecia que sempre havia algo o corroendo por dentro, algo que ele não podia explicar o que era, mas que estava sempre ali para assombrá-lo, e que quando perguntava para ele o que era, ele apenas respondia "quando você for mais velha eu te conto, raincloud" com um sorriso meio triste e encontrando uma forma de mudar de assunto. Hoje Riley entendia bem o que era aquilo sem que Samuel tivesse lhe explicado, algumas vezes sentia até o mesmo semblante formando na própria cara.
Dando alguns passos até a margem do lago, se ajoelhou, fitando a água limpa por um instante. O reflexo era diferente, mas expressão era mesma. Algumas coisas nunca mudam, pensou, erguendo os olhos e vendo aquela árvore bifurcada maldita. Apertava o braço do violão com força, as pegadas marcadas na grama, em linha reta para a coisa que mais odiava naquele lugar maldito. "Sua... filha... da... puta... desgraçada... maldita..." repetia enquanto batia o violão com toda força contra o troco grosso e forte na esperança de que apagasse o maior erro de sua vida de ter trazido seu tio naquele lugar. Podia se lembrar com riqueza de detalhes dos carros de polícia, das sirenes ainda rodando no teto, a fita amarela isolando a área quando chegou ali naquela manhã de 2009, depois de ver Samuel não havia dormido em casa depois de passar o dia inteiro fora e sabia exatamente aonde ele tinha ido. Sentira raiva todo o caminho, oras ele poderia ter esperado para levá-la com ele, mas a raiva virou confusão e depois uma tristeza profunda. "Se tivesse sido em outro lugar, talvez ele tivesse tido uma chance." Ouvi um policial dizer antes do mesmo notar sua presença. Ele ainda tentou esconder o corpo balançando, mas acabou sendo em vão, o estrago já havia sido feito. A única coisa que ele deixou foi uma carta, que até hoje Riley nunca teve coragem de ler.
Todas as vezes que pensava nele, todas essas questões vinham a tona, talvez se nunca tivesse o trazido ali ele teria alguma chance de sobreviver, talvez se nunca tivessem pisado ali ele teria sido encontrado com mais facilidade, ao invés de dias depois, pendurado nessa árvore maldita, talvez se tivesse aprendido a usar essa merda de violão do jeito correto ele tivesse desistido, talvez se não tivesse contado pro seu pai sobre o saquinho estranho cheio de remédio escondido dentro do violão na casa da piscina teria evitado que ele fosse para ali mais uma vez... Talvez... Se.... palavras que a assombram até hoje. Esse maldito condicional voltando eternamente para assombra-la
Jogando o resto do violão nos pés da árvore, decidiu que era hora de enfrentar o que estava evitando desde que aparecera sem calça no John Wooden Center e em 2013. Ainda estava usando o roupão que pegara no closet do sr. Parton, mas a casa de seus pais era a uma quadra dali. A caminhada não era muito longa, mas não estava com pressa em fazê-la, pensava em como explicar aquilo tudo, mas lá no fundo sabendo que teria que enfrentar mais uma vez a decepção na cara da mãe e provavelmente mais um AVC no pai, igual a vez em que o reitor mostrou o vídeo dela fumando um baseado no banheiro e tocando fogo numa lata de lixo sem querer.
Identificar a própria casa sempre fora fácil, era a única com um monte de cacti e areia no lugar de grama, como nas outras casas em volta, mas o pior era saber que teria que fazer a caminhada da vergonha mais uma vez, mas seria a primeira vez que a faria sem o apoio moral de Sammy, ainda mais que o Lexus da mãe e o Cadillac Eldorado do pai estavam parados na garagem.Abriu a porta corrediça do fundo com todo cuidado, sabendo que sempre ficava aberta aquela hora para que os cachorros saíssem para fazerem as necessidades. Caminhou o mais silencioso possível até onde deveria ser seu quarto, se esgueirando longe dos raios de sol que escapavam pela fresta do blackout da janela.
"Você deveria estar na faculdade. "
Riley parou na mesma hora em que pegava uma camiseta franzindo o cenho. Ela conhecia aquela voz, mas devia ser efeito do peiote. É a única explicação para ouvir a voz de uma pessoa que já morreu. Quando a cortina de arreganhou, fazendo a luz do sol entrar com toda força tal qual um canhão de luz da polícia e direto em sua cara, foi que teve certeza que não era alucinações do peiote ou de qualquer uma das drogas que usara na noite anterior.
"Não estou pagando uma faculdade cara dessas pra você ficar dormindo aqui em casa, Raincloud." Samuel havia aberto a cortina e estava com uma expressão severa de quem está se preparando para uma bronca. "O que diabos é isso que está vestindo?"
"Um roupão?" Respondeu. Seu cérebro estava tentando encontrar formas para aquilo ser possível. Quer dizer Sammy havia morrido em 2009, muito antes de 14 de setembro de 2013 como isso era possível? Como alguém conseguiu impedir isso? Tudo que havia aprendido até aqui mostrava que era impossível, para ele estar vivo alguém teria que ter morrido no lugar. Será que foi sua mãe? Ou um dos irmão? Seus neurônios não conseguiam pensar direito. Ela não sabia se abraçava o tio ou se fazia perguntas, mas antes que pudesse se decidir, já estava caída no chão chorando aos pés de Samuel, soltando as lágrimas que deveria ter soltado durante todos esses anos. "Me desculpa, cara. Me desculpa de verdade. Se eu soubesse que você ia fazer aquilo eu nunca tinha te dedado pro meu pai e nem te lavado lá no poço. Me desculpa de verdade. Eu prometo que nunca mais uso nada se você prometer que não vai repetir aquilo"
"Cara, você andou usando aqueles negócios de novo? Quantas vezes sua mãe já não falou que não quer ver você com esses trecos?" Sentiu o homem a levantar e se sentar na cama ao seu lado, com a ruga da testa profundo, e marcas do tempo que não existiam em 2009. "Olha, eu entendo, já tive a sua idade e sei que um baseado e uma bala é bom de vez em quando, mas a morte do seu tio Richard me fez ver que isso não tem futuro e não quero que você seja um Zé droguinha. Você é inteligente demais pra isso." Sammy abraça Riley sem nem fazer ideia de o que acabou de falar fez na cabeça da sobrinha (ou filho? Nem ela entendeu isso direito. O que importava era que ele estava de volta). Mais uma vez a física teórica se mostrando mais prática do que teórica, pensou, enquanto tentava digerir o que acabara de ouvir. "Vamos fazer o seguinte, Você toma um banho, tira esse cheiro de desinfetante barato, troca de roupa e espera aqui. Vou inventar alguma desculpa para sua mãe e te deixo na faculdade. Ela não precisa saber disso e a gente toma café no Randy's, ok."
Apenas assentiu com a cabeça, aproveitando o calor daqueles braços que tanto sentira falta ao longo de todos esses anos. Era algo que guardava na memória e que achava que nunca teria a chance de sentir novamente. Talvez fosse por isso que a escolheram para voltar, essa era tal da segunda chance que falava no sms.

”Gli studenti condannati a una preparazione scarsa o apparente, o addirittura all’ignoranza, diventano più facilmente vittime del potere.
Sono cittadini debolissimi, indifesi, aperti a ogni influenza improvvisata e chiassosa.
Chi ha rovinato la scuola, ha ferito gravemente anche la Repubblica, il sistema democratico, la libertà individuale e la consapevolezza dei diritti. Spero che qualcuno prima o poi se ne accorga.
I futuri cittadini vengono resi così più fragili e manipolabili. È un grande problema storico-politico, di cui, temo, prima o poi vedremo conseguenze lancinanti.
Non vorrei apparire troppo pessimista, ma il successo di movimenti irruenti e semplificatori sul piano della lotta politica, si spiega anche con questa debolezza culturale.”
Oggi come allora, nulla è cambiato, piuttosto è peggiorato, È una discesa senza fine….
