What you can sometimes catch from watching crappy Greek TV: this Kikles guy belts out a killer version of Edith Piaf’s “La Foule” on the Voice of Greece talent show.
And the original: her capacity to break your heart in less than three minutes… Especially tonight, with France on my mind.

C’était un étudiant brillant, un super enseignant, un homme de dialogue. Je citerai ton nom et ton exemple camarade pour tous ceux qui voudront bien encore faire ce beau métier #ConflansSainteHonorine
My translation [please correct]:
Samuel Paty was a colleague of mine at the University of Lyon. He was a brilliant student, a superb teacher, a man of dialogue. I would cite his name as an example for any who would still like to follow this beautiful calling.
This is in the non-sectarian Levant, where the likes of Usama Makdissi want us to believe everyone lived in peace and harmony until the evil Frangoi fucked everything up for everybody:
On October 17, 1850, an angry crowd of Muslims protesting the looming threat of conscription advanced on the Christian quarters of Judayde and Salibeh and began to loot and pillage churches and private homes – massacring both Rûm and Syriacs.
In the aftermath, 20 Christians lay dead, along with 688 homes, 36 shops, and 6 churches damaged, including the Rûm Catholic Patriarchate and its library. Due to the fear of another outbreak of violence, hundreds of Christians emigrated from Aleppo, primarily to Beirut and Smyrna.
Today, we honor the memory of the innocent victims of this horrific attack on Aleppo’s Rûm and Syriac communities.
These two kids are gorgeous…

The old lighting emphasized the mellow golden color the marble has taken on over the centuries…
Though its intention may have been to restore the dazzling whiteness of the Pentelic marble, which is mentioned in all contemporary accounts, the new set-up just makes it look grey…
Below is Mt. Penteli, nobly scarred by centuries of rock-quarries for its high-quality, blazzingly white marble. Everything beautiful the Athenians ever built came from this mountain.
Does anyone have a take on how Erdi, and religiously conservative Turks generally, put aside their anti-Shiism when it comes to “brotherhood” — as in current Armeno-Azeri conflict — with Azeris? I mean, for the Erdi-fundi-Muslim-Brotherhood type, aren’t Shiites — by which I include Turkish Alevis and Arab Alawites — worse even than kaffirs/giaourides?
