☆ He Was Blinded in One Eye, but Salman Rushdie’s Vision Is Undiminished
  + stars: | 2024-04-14 | by ( Sarah Lyall | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Last May, nine months after the knife attack that nearly killed him, Salman Rushdie made a surprise appearance at the 2023 PEN America literary gala. His voice was weak and he was noticeably thinner than usual; one of his eyeglass lenses was blacked out, because his right eye had been blinded in the assault. But anyone wondering whether the author was still his old exuberant self would have been immediately reassured by the way he began his remarks, with a racy impromptu joke. “I want to remind people in the room who might not remember that ‘Valley of the Dolls’ was published in the same publishing season as Philip Roth’s ‘Portnoy’s Complaint,’” he said, riffing on an earlier speaker’s mention of Jacqueline Susann’s potboiler. It was also a triumphant signal that his brush with death — more than three decades after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie’s murder over the novel “The Satanic Verses” — had dampened neither his spirit nor his determination to live life in the open.

☆ From no natural light to low ceilings, interior designers share 15 clever fixes to common design problems
  + stars: | 2024-01-30 | by ( Cheyenne Lentz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: 1 min
To make low ceilings feel taller, draw the eye upwards. Legless furniture and purposeful artwork can help draw the eyes up. She said that an easy way to achieve this is by drawing the eye up and off the ground. Keep your furniture low to the ground so the ceiling will appear further away when you are lounging on your sofa. "Tall plants, light fixtures, and vertically placed art also draw the eye up and help to create a feeling of height," Goerg told Business Insider.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Republican voter Mark Cook stuck with his party in Kentucky's last election for governor. Once again, Warren County, which includes the leafy, fast-growing college town of Bowling Green, looms as a potential swing area. Those undecided voters included Carol Martin of Bowling Green, who wanted to hear more from both candidates. “I believe him," the retiree said while strolling through a downtown Bowling Green park. "And what you see is what you get.”A Republican lawmaker from Bowling Green had a different view.

☆ An OnlyFans cosplay creator who's made $450,000 explains her strategy to earn money without nude content
  + stars: | 2023-09-18 | by ( Marta Biino | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
She made an Instagram page under the stage name Liensue, and opened a Patreon account. Between January 2022 and September 2023, she made about $450,000 in net revenue on the platform after OnlyFans' 20% cut. She puts a lot of time and money into her content, and she thinks of herself as an artist, more than a content creator. In the past couple of years, she's been able to create about six DIY cosplay costumes per year, she said. On her OnlyFans, she combines her artsy content with a behind-the-scenes look at her everyday life, for fans to get to know her better.

☆ Germany warns its delegation of Egyptian spies at COP27
  + stars: | 2022-11-13 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Comments last week by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about Egypt's human rights record provoked the threat of surveillance, that person said. Two other officials in Germany confirmed the existence of the warning, though they declined to elaborate on its specific wording. Three German attendees at COP27, from non-governmental organizations and industry, said they had received verbal warnings from other attendees and delegations of possible surveillance. "To this end, we are in continuous exchange with the Egyptian side," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "A decision needs to be taken, a release has to be made possible, so that it doesn't come to it that the hunger striker dies," Scholz told reporters.
