I would like suggestions of free or very low-cost hosting for static webpages, please. Some criteria: * based in EU * command line is OK. * point my own domain at it. * assume low to no traffic.
There's a statue of AC/DC's Angus Young in a park in a wee town near the coast of Vizcaya. I don't know why and I think even if you told me I'd still not know why. Anyway, mystery sculptor and council parks department: We Salute You.
@tagomago Ah of course that makes more sense, we must've been watching a download. Would be too odd for TV broadcast. I'm told that dubbing actors are effectively paired with the live actors and stay with them their whole career, my partner occasionally says "I didn't think he sounded like that" regarding some super famous Hollywood star. And then someone like Jimmy Stewart with such a distinctive voice, you lose a lot.
Today I learned that if you watch old films that were dubbed into Spanish, they occasionally switch into the original language without warning. This shows which scenes were cut by Franco-era censors and it's quite eye-opening. For example "Que bella es la vida" (i.e. It's A Wonderful Life) had a scene of George's Mam mentioning Mary's relationship with Sam cut (implied adultery!) And even better, the Martini family's new house was cut too, presumably because the speech about bad housing, landlords, rent and owning your own place was too spicy.
Fully recommend watching Don't Look Up. It's funny, hits the right targets and is driven by bitter humour wrapped around a core of righteous fury in a way I find very relatable, without losing its humanity. Top-tier satire. (If I'm going to nitpick it's US-centric, but since that's the same for the disaster movies it's lampooning, they get a pass there.)
I kind of knew that anyone with a guitar in the 1960s would have covered this song but I wasn't quite prepared for the reality of : Leonard Cohen - Solidarity Forever (1970 cover)
Some city centre roads in #Bilbao were pedestrianised today (for fiestas? for being Sunday? Dunno). Seems like one universal thing is people keep walking on the pavements even when the whole road's there for them.
Two books on / by punk women look worth attention. Why(*) have I never heard of Vivien Goldman but so much about Nick Whatshisname? And a biog of Polly Styrene.
"Call me ‘Astronaut’ or ‘Journalist’ or ‘Brain Surgeon’ or ‘Teacher’ Or ‘Carpenter’ or ‘Pastry Chef’ or ‘Play Worker’ or ‘Preacher’. Women do all kinds of things while wearing lovely clothes But please, don’t call me Princess, cos I’m never one of those. My mum is not a Queen, you see. My dad is not a King. Instead of being a Princess… I can be ANYTHING!"
