did anyone want to hear a #Shakespeare speech castigating nativist cruelty against #immigration?
of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power
it refers to a real event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May_Day
it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech
from the play "Sir Thomas More"
here delivered by #IanMcKellen from memory
on "The Late Show With #StephenColbert"
historical note:
this play had many authors, constantly revised
historians believe for this speech lines such as
"For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another."and
"but chartered unto them?
What would you think To be thus used?
This is the stranger's case,
And this your mountanish inhumanity"are directly attributable to Shakespeare's hand

@benroyce how nothing ever changes and bigotry remains the same banal evil it always was. Such a good reminder that we could all be the unwanted‘immigrant’ given the right circumstances

@benroyce my mom once had a dream that she was going door to door to ask for food with her young children in tow, turned away, back to the streets. She *almost* understood for just a moment what it would look like to be immigrants in an unkind land.
@benroyce to my mother’s credit, she did teach herself Spanish after this experience. She may never question her religiousity or nationalism, but her belief in loving everyone like Jesus did is what prompted her decision to learn Spanish after that dream.

@benroyce I watched in awe. Actors who make me believe I understand Shakespeare are amazing. Ian McKellen is a treasure.

@benroyce Too bad Sir Thomas More was executed by Henry the VIII...The current world emperor would likely do the same

@benroyce I really like such historical perspectives. I also like the part of Plato's Laws where he says that the rich shouldn't have more than 4 times what the poor have otherwise social unrest will follow. He said it more than 2000 years ago.
Reminds us that progress is not inevitable, but is a constant struggle. In some ways, we actually regressed compared to some previous civilizations

@benroyce The full interview with Sir Ian is here on YouTube, in proper landscape format.
(Prior to delivering the soliloquy, he goes on a tangent involving the tune "Some Enchanted Evening" by Rodgers & Hammerstein, which is also well worth watching.)

apparently he knows it so well because he performed this in 1983 for bbc radio
i can't find a recording though, it's all locked up behind various access and rights nonsense

@benroyce Mate, saw this and loved it. Such quality and in this seemingly most forgetful age, we would do well to listen more, to longer form and read in greater depth. THAT’S how we become better people. Simple understanding and balance, over quick and heady choices

There's number of examples of Ian pulling out this speech since then, yours is a good example

@symbolics Neatly separated.

@amoroso @aartaka #lisp #common-lisp the language versions are also available in Symbolics Genera as dialects ZetaLisp and a few versions of #common-lisp . In the screenshot one can see that the default package is actually different for each dialect -> different symbols are inherited. Thus one can write code in a version of CLtL1, Symbolics Common Lisp or in ANSI Common Lisp. In one Lisp system.

New START, Stati Uniti e Russia vicini a un rinnovo del trattato - Vatican News
Sembrerebbe esserci un'apertura per il rinnovo del trattato New START per il controllo degli armamenti nucleari tra Stati Uniti e Russia. L'accordo è formalmente scaduto ieri, giovedì 5 febbraio, e ora necessita dell’approvazione definitiva dei rispettivi presidenti.

@amoroso @aartaka Standardized #lisp #commonlisp has a bunch of different embedded languages (LOOP -> macro-based transpiler, FORMAT strings -> interpreter and transpiler, CLOS -> extension of Lisp, ...). As libraries there are zillions more of those. Then CL inherits features from Lisp 1, Maclisp variants and has evolved from CLtL1, CLtL2, ANSI CL. One thing that is missing: CL-USER . The CL-USER package contains an implementation specific largely extended version of Common Lisp.
