It's masterfully written. Ilja himself plays the lead, reliving memories of his past flame in Venice while staying at a deprecating hotel that once was grand and now is being converted into a Chinese tourist trap. The agony of a crumbling Europe that wanes under the pressure of global capitalism, where apparently consumerism and mass tourism are the only options to keep the economic balance at a status quo, was heartbreaking to read. Venice is clearly struggling to deal with the millions of tourists that huge cruises vomit into the city. And Ilja's Venice is just an example. Never before have cheap flight tickets caused that much damage---damage we all too willingly ignore in favor of a relaxing holiday, preferably including a quick shopping spree at a very "instagrammable" location. Perhaps Schopenhauer was right: living on this earth can be quite the penance. diff --git a/hooks/precommit.js b/hooks/precommit.js index 9f22d539..9884f3c6 100644 --- a/hooks/precommit.js +++ b/hooks/precommit.js @@ -6,32 +6,14 @@ const wmconfig = require('./_conf.js'); const rootdir = `${__dirname}/../`; (async function() { - // 1. parse Mastodon RSS feed - // currently disabling notes, as after 3 months, I find these do not bring anything relevant to the table. - /* - console.log("1. parsing Mastodon RSS feed...") - await mastodon.parseFeed({ - notesdir: `${__dirname}/content/notes`, - url: "https://chat.brainbaking.com/users/wouter/feed", - utcOffset: 60, - titleCount: 50, - ignoreReplies: true - }) - */ - - // 2. update goodreads JS widget - console.log("2.
