Notably: With the world once again going to pot, some contrapuntal attention seemed in order, like this: From le Monde: “”Three years from now, I’ll swim in the Seine in front of witnesses to show that the Seine is a clean river,” Paris’ former mayor Jacques Chirac famously vowed in 1990… to no avail. Banned since 1923, swimming in the Seine is a longstanding dream that Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo wants to turn into a “major legacy” of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The storied river is being cleaned so that Olympic swimming events will be able to take place in its waters − and Parisians will be able to cool off in specific locations starting summer 2025. Efforts have been underway since 2016 to clean up the Seine and the Marne, one of the river’s main tributaries, and authorities have invested €1.4 billion into a “Swimming Plan” to reduce pollution by 75% by summer 2024.”

… but there was always a long still moment toward the end of those football afternoons where the mood of the crowd turned and everything grew desolate and uncertain, onscreen and off, the sheet-metal glare off the patio glass fading to gold and then gray, long shadows and night falling into desert stillness, a sadness I couldn’t shake off, a sense of silent people filing toward the stadium exits and cold rain falling in college towns back east.
–From Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch (2013).
