- Original: https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/
- One that popped up lately: https://justfuckingusehtml.com/
I'm so much of a fan that I made my own version and one which I actually use fairly often as a framework to display simple pages like my "home page":

I've been at the Tokyo National Museum since this morning.
While strolling through the permanent exhibition, I was lucky enough to come across some works by Kawase Hasui.
The architecture of the main building is beautiful and it's a joy to admire the details.

Anniversaries are usually times to celebrate—a birth, a marriage, a victory, an extraordinary achievement. But last month’s fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War was not for most Americans a normal anniversary, worthy of normal celebration. It received scant attention in the U.S. media and relatively few Americans seemed even to know about it. April 30 marked the end of a war that was misconceived from the start and was the first in our history that we lost—at great human cost, detriment to our self-confidence, and trust in our government. The anniversary might have been a time for America to reflect on the lessons of the war, and whether we have learned from them. This does not seem to have happened.The Vietnamese, on the other hand, had every reason to celebrate the milestone, and they did so, magnificently. In Vietnamese culture, marking the anniversaries of the deaths of loved ones is extremely important, so the celebration of the country’s victory in the American War was also a time for recognizing its massive human and environmental cost—many hundreds of times greater than suffered by the losing United States. In 1966, I was a junior at Harvard, and I had turned against the Vietnam War. But I gave in to my father’s pressure to remain in a Marine Corps officer candidate program and I served as a Marine lieutenant in Vietnam in 1968–1969. I was a supply officer at a field hospital near the DMZ and saw no combat, but I saw plenty of war’s carnage on the helicopter pad and in the triage room. I hated the war, but I also hated Vietnam and mistreated Vietnamese people, for which I later felt very ashamed. In the late 1990s, I had the opportunity to return to Vietnam to try to atone for my sins. I worked on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment projects there for almost 20 years and lived in Hanoi for five years during that time. I came to love Vietnam and the Vietnamese people, and Vietnam has become a second home to which I return every year.My own history thus gave me good reason to celebrate the anniversary of the end of the war—even though it never should have started and never should have lasted as long as it did.For me, and for many Americans and Vietnamese, the anniversary was not just marking the end of something, but also the “long, strange trip” of reconciliation, friendship, and partnership between the United States and Vietnam since the war ended in 1975. John Terzano, an American veteran who has devoted years to the work of U.S.-Vietnam postwar reconciliation, points out that it is a unique story in the annals of war—the first time that veterans of a losing war played leading roles in building friendship and partnership to the benefit of their victorious former enemies. America’s reconciliation with Vietnam did not get off to a good start. The U.S. reneged on its commitment in the Paris Peace Accords to provide major funding to Vietnam to help rebuild the country and instead imposed a crippling trade embargo that, along with its own government’s misguided economic policies, plunged Vietnam into poverty and near starvation for a decade. Vietnam launched đổi mới or “renovation” of its economic system in the mid-1980s and the U.S. lifted the trade embargo in 1994. Diplomatic relations were normalized in 1995. Pete Peterson, a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and prisoner of war in Vietnam, became the first American ambassador. A prerequisite for these advances in bilateral relations was that Vietnam assist the U.S. to locate the remains of as many as possible of our soldiers and Marines missing in action, or MIA. The U.S. did not reciprocate by assisting Vietnam to find the remains of its estimated 200,000 MIAs until the 2010s, part of the long and arduous journey toward reconciliation and partnership.I went to Vietnam for the fiftieth anniversary to celebrate both the end of the war and the economic, social, and strategic benefits to both countries produced by our reconciliation, friendship, and diplomatic partnership. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the celebration—the Trump administration took actions that seriously threaten these hard-won achievements. It announced 46 percent tariffs on imports from Vietnam (the U.S. is Vietnam’s largest export trading partner), closed the United States Agency for International Development’s mission, and cancelled almost all U.S.-funded public health, environmental, and other humanitarian projects. (These closures and cancellations occurred worldwide.) Almost all of my Vietnamese friends and former colleagues lost their jobs. Important work to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases and to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change and address other environmental issues were terminated. I was hoping to contribute to the fiftieth anniversary celebration. I proposed to staff at the U.S. embassy giving a talk at the American Center in Hanoi about my story as a veteran who came back to Vietnam after the war to try to do some good after all the harms inflicted by America. The response was at first positive, but shortly before I was to leave for Vietnam. I was informed that, pursuant to orders from Washington, all U.S. government-sponsored anniversary events were to be “paused”—Trump-speak for “cancelled.” Damien Cave, the New York Times Vietnam bureau chief, reported that not only were U.S. government sponsored events cancelled, but U.S. officials were also prohibited from participating in any anniversary events sponsored by the Vietnamese government or anybody else. This prohibition was quietly eased slightly at the last minute, as the U.S. consul general did appear at one Vietnamese government anniversary event on April 30. The ambassador did not appear, however, nor did any other high-ranking American official. This was surely taken as an insult by the Vietnamese.With the assistance of several Vietnamese friends and colleagues, I organized what may have been the only fiftieth anniversary event sponsored by an American individual or organization: a panel discussion held at the appropriately named Hope Café in Hanoi. This café is run by Phạm Thị Minh, a 15-year heroin addict who became a peer educator on a USAID-funded HIV prevention project for sexual partners of people who inject drugs. Minh turned her life around, married and had children, and helped launch a movement of community-based organizations to fight HIV/AIDS, improve substance use treatment, and support women’s rights. Minh joined the panel to tell her story.Other speakers described projects on “war legacies” and public health funded by the U.S. that were important contributions to reconciliation and products of the formal multi-sectoral partnership between the U.S and Vietnam that was established in 2013, and elevated to a comprehensive strategic partnership under President Biden in 2023. This partnership formalized Vietnam’s important role as a balance to China in the region, thereby benefitting America’s strategic position and our national security.Ngô Xuân Hiền told the audience about Project RENEW in Quang Tri Province, which has been substantially funded by the U.S. It was co-founded by U.S. Army veteran Chuck Searcy and initially funded by Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, or VVMF, half of which was provided by Christos Cotsakos, who served in Quang Tri in 1967–1968. RENEW has worked for over 20 years to remove unexploded ordnance, or UXO—bombs, artillery shells, mortar rounds, grenades—from Quang Tri province, the most heavily bombed part of South Vietnam (indeed, the most heavily bombed of any place in any war), and the site of the bloodiest fighting of the war. Forty percent of the mapped hazardous areas have been cleared and UXO-related injuries, which are often suffered by children, have been significantly reduced. However, 60 percent of the hazardous areas in Quang Tri remain to be cleared, and the work needs to be expanded to other provinces. The audience also heard about projects involving Harvard’s Kennedy School, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and the U.S. Defense Department that are sharing U.S.-captured documents with the Vietnamese Ministry of Defence and Vietnamese families to help locate the remains of missing Vietnamese soldiers from all sides in the war. These projects are also returning captured diaries, letters, and other personal documents to the families of fallen Vietnamese soldiers. The Kennedy School project held ceremonies during the anniversary week in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Nghe An (Ho Chi Minh’s home) at which documents were returned to twenty-three families.Hoàng Tú Anh, founder of a Vietnamese nongovernmental organization, described its U.S.-funded programs to provide support to people with war-related disabilities. These programs also assist victims of domestic violence, some of which may result from inter-generational post-traumatic stress disorders related to the war. Most of these “war legacies” projects, as well as others to clean up Agent Orange (dioxin) storage sites, were cancelled but then restored temporarily when the Vietnamese government strongly protested. Their longer-term funding remains uncertain. The U.S. has an undeniable moral responsibility to repair the harms and legacies it brought upon Vietnam and the Vietnamese people by our war of choice in their country. Trump probably doesn’t care about this, but it remains a moral and ethical imperative. With funding from USAID, the U.S. Institute of Peace, an independent agency established by Congress in 1984, has been working for several years with the Vietnamese government and the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, to develop an exhibit on U.S.-Vietnam reconciliation and partnership since the war, focusing on the “war legacies” work. The design had been completed, and construction of the exhibit begun, with the opening scheduled for the thirtieth anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relations in July 2025. However, on March 17, 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency unlawfully invaded USIP’s Washington headquarters and essentially abolished the agency. The museum exhibit was cancelled.Nguyễn Phương Lan told how a U.S.-funded Fulbright fellowship had enabled her to attend Harvard School of Public Health, after which she returned to Vietnam and worked on many projects which helped Vietnam combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and Covid-19. The PEPFAR program, initiated by U.S. President George W. Bush, helped bring HIV treatment to all Vietnamese people in need of it and supported a variety of effective HIV/AIDS prevention programs. These efforts combined to bring the HIV epidemic in Vietnam under control and keep it under control over the last 15 years. With the cancellation of most HIV-related projects, epidemic resurgence is possible. Tuberculosis remains endemic in Vietnam, but progress was being made against it with the help of U.S. funding. Now, most of that work has been cancelled. Lan waited more than a year for a USAID-funded TB treatment project to be approved by the Vietnamese government. That approval was finally received at the end of January, but the very next day DOGE cancelled the project. I served as Abt Global’s chief of party for USAID’s Health Financing and Governance Project in Vietnam in 2017–2018. My former HFG colleagues, all of whom have lost their jobs, told me that they are extremely proud of their accomplishments for the benefit of the Vietnamese and American people. In response to DOGE’s demand to justify continuation of HFG’s successor project, Nguyễn Thị Hiền and Nguyễn Thị Dịu of Abt Global wrote that with USAID’s support,Vietnam is on course to assume full financing and management of its HIV and TB responses. The government’s Social Health Insurance (SHI) fund has become the main financing agent for HIV and TB treatment. Currently nearly 160,000 people living with HIV and 105,000 TB patients are receiving treatment through SHI fund. This domestic funding contributes 53 percent of the cost of the HIV program and 75 percent of the TB program. Continuation of USAID’s health system strengthening projects could solidify and increase the gains in domestic funding for HIV and TB treatment, further improve medication procurement and supply chains, engage more community-based organizations in prevention and care, and improve prevention, detection, and response to emerging infectious diseases. These are key factors in global health security that have a direct impact on U.S. public health and economic prosperity.The global health systems projects, which had achieved such noteworthy progress in Vietnam and elsewhere, were cancelled by the Trump administration. The more I heard about the deleterious effects of the Trump policies on Vietnam, the angrier I became. In the last-minute planning session for the panel event, I argued for being more outspoken about these feelings. My Vietnamese colleagues cautioned me against this, worrying that overt political statements could backfire to the harm of the Vietnamese who are in the midst of efforts to negotiate a better trade agreement with the U.S. So, it was agreed that we would focus on the positive—all the benefits that U.S.-Vietnam reconciliation and partnership have produced for both peoples and the hope that these challenges could and would be overcome. After all, there had been serious challenges for more than 10 years after the war’s end and periodically long after that—such as with the effort to mitigate the effects of Agent Orange, which was stalled for years over the lack of scientifically proven “causation.” These challenges had been overcome through hard work, resilience, and finally American acceptance that its moral responsibility to repair the harms it had caused must overrule a scientific technicality.We had decided that our panel discussion should accentuate the positive. A Vietnamese student sought to inject a “note of reality” into the discussion. I responded that there was indeed “an elephant in the room” but that we really wanted hope to prevail at Hope Café. However, I emphasized that real hope must be nurtured by action.Thảo Griffiths, a longtime advocate for U.S.–Vietnam relations and a commissioner of the International Commission on Missing Persons, attended the event. Afterwards, she reported: It was a profoundly moving evening. John Terzano and I were both deeply emotional, and we decided to take a drive on my motorbike to the Long Bien Bridge. [Long Biên Bridge is an icon of Vietnam’s wartime resilience, it was knocked down multiple times by U.S. bombing and each time quickly rebuilt so that this vital supply link was maintained.] Standing there, feeling the breeze from the Red River, was a cathartic experience. We were deeply inspired by the Vietnamese speakers’ unwavering resilience and their unshakeable commitment to continue their humanitarian work, with or without US support. It was a truly beautiful and unforgettable evening. Indeed, my visit to Vietnam for the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the American War and the celebration of the fruits of our reconciliation and partnership provided much reason for hope—for Vietnam, if not for America. The massive outpouring of patriotism and national pride in the anniversary celebrations was remarkable. I flew from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City the evening of April 29, expecting to be able to find a good spot to watch the ceremony and parade on the actual anniversary, April 30. The crowds, which must have been in the millions, filling the streets and gathering to sleep on the sidewalks to secure places for the next morning were so huge and widespread that it took more than two hours to reach my hotel from the airport. Throughout the downtown (District 1) were large groups of families and friends, with food and drink, all wearing patriotic clothing and carrying small Vietnamese flags. My hotel was at least a kilometer from the parade route, but when I set out at 5:30 a.m. to find my spot to watch the parade, the streets all around my hotel were filled with people. It was already extremely hot. I was only able to make it a few blocks and never got anywhere near the parade route. So, I just hung out and enjoyed being in this joyful crowd for a little while and then repaired to my air-conditioned hotel room and watched the parade on TV. It was a spectacular show, including beautiful floats, dancers, dragons, and many marching units of police, army, mass organizations, men and women, young and old. There were flyovers by fighter jets (with cameras in the cockpits for the TV coverage) and helicopters towing big Vietnam flags. Troops from Cambodia, Laos, and China also marched in the parade. China and Vietnam are ancient enemies, a fact overlooked by the policymakers of the American War, but currently major trading partners despite their continuing dispute over the islands of the East Sea. The Trump policies could well be bending Vietnam’s “bamboo diplomacy” (seeking to play both sides to its advantage) more in the direction of China.Trump’s actions may not (yet) have turned ordinary Vietnamese people against the United States. Clothing with American flags and the New York Yankees logo remain ubiquitous and, in my observation and experience, the Vietnamese people remain very friendly and welcoming to Americans. I talked with Mr. Độ, a veteran of the North Vietnamese Army who was enthusiastic about meeting an American advisor to the ARVN (South Vietnamese Army) he had fought in the bloody battle of “Charlie Hill” in the Central Highlands in 1972. I also visited the grave of the father of my friend and colleague Khuất Thị Hải Oanh. He commanded the NVA troops in that battle. Both sides have portrayed this battle as a victory and the veterans would like to learn about each other’s strategies and their interpretations of the outcome. Dialogue among veterans can nurture mutual respect and contribute to reconciliation. As veterans age, the opportunities for such meetings and dialogue diminish. I was interviewed by a reporter for Tuổi Trẻ, a well-respected organ of the Vietnam’s Communist Party. His article used none of the points I had made about the challenges facing U.S.-Vietnam reconciliation and partnership due to Trump’s policies and my sharp criticism of those policies. As with our panel discussion, the article focused on the positive results and benefits, as if there were no challenges. This focus was no doubt strategic, in that Vietnam is avoiding overt criticism or complaint about U.S. policies as it is engaged in delicate negotiations aimed at securing a more favorable trade agreement.Last, but by no means least, hope springs from the historic courage, patriotism, dedication, and resilience of the Vietnamese people. Several of my Vietnamese friends took me to see the new, and brilliantly done, Vietnamese film Địa Đạo: Mặt Trời Trong Bóng Tối (Tunnels: Sun in the Dark). It tells the story of the heroic Viet Cong soldiers who lived in and fought from the Cu Chi tunnels near Saigon during 1967. These tunnels, like those in Vinh Moc, just north of the former DMZ, have been restored as popular tourist attractions. I recall the first time I visited the Vinh Moc tunnels in 1997. Hearing how an entire village lived in the humid and claustrophobic space for more than three years under U.S. bombing—giving birth to babies, emerging to plant and harvest their crops, and remaining loyal and devoted to their country—convinced me that the U.S. could never have won the war. That feeling was only reinforced by seeing Tunnels.On the drive back to Hanoi from visiting her father’s grave, my friend Oanh and I had a talk about the future. She said that Vietnam had always been able to overcome its challenges, no matter how lengthy and difficult the struggle. She is convinced that Vietnam will again prevail, regardless of whether Trump’s destructive policies stand or fall and in spite of its own internal political difficulties. The colleagues and friends that I saw during my visit implicitly confirmed this hope by their cheerful and forthright conviction that “things will work out.” After we saw Tunnels together—they all wore Vietnam flag t-shirts and “Tôi yêu Việt Nam” (“I love Vietnam”) bracelets—we gathered for a festive lunch. Amid the laughter and good cheer, one of my friends told me that they had all just that morning received letters terminating their employment, with only the very modest severance pay required under Vietnamese labor law.I pray that the hope I saw and heard among the Vietnamese people as they celebrated the victorious end of the war that reunited their country is prescient, that Vietnam will survive and continue to thrive. In the end, it struck me that I had fallen into “white savior” mode when I assumed that Vietnam would collapse without U.S. assistance. As Oanh said, Vietnam had always been able to take care of itself and always would be. This by no means absolves us of the responsibility to fight the unjust and harmful policies of the Trump Administration but it gives hope that Vietnam’s survival and well-being do not depend entirely on the success of those efforts.

At the start of Martin Scorsese’s 2019 documentary Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story—a film whose opening title card reads conjuring the rolling thunder revue—magician Georges Méliès drapes a blanket over a woman seated on a chair. He pulls the blanket off, and she is no longer there. Then he puts the blanket back on the chair, pulls it off again, and presto, she has reappeared.The verb “conjure” means to “call upon (a spirit or ghost) to appear, by means of a magic ritual.” The film tracks the first part of a two-part Bob Dylan tour, which covered New England and parts of Canada in the final months of 1975. After Dylan’s motorcycle accident in 1966, he withdrew from touring for eight years, reappearing in public in 1974 on a tour with the Band. The Rolling Thunder Revue was his next venture as a touring artist, and he has regularly toured the world ever since.The film opens on July 4, 1976, showing a celebration of America’s 200th anniversary of independence. Then Richard Nixon comes on camera, mouthing some bromide about the American dream. Halfway through the film, Nixon reappears as he gives his resignation speech (in 1974), and we watch President Gerald Ford quote Thomas Jefferson: “The people are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty,” then add, “Abraham Lincoln renewed this American article of faith asking, ‘Is there any better way, or equal hope in the world?’” Then we hear the thoughts of the right-wing preacher Billy Graham: “I think it’s time to stand up and say, ‘Well, we believe in these institutions, we believe in America. And I think America ought to sing a bit.’”The means of transportation for the Rolling Thunder musicians (other performers included Joan Baez, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and, later, Joni Mitchell) was a medium-size bus that Dylan apparently often drove himself. As the bus rolls past a visibly decaying mill town, a voice-over—which turns out to be Sam Shepard, who tagged along on the tour and wrote a book about it—explains that New England was “just experiencing the bane of economic fallout way back then.… Desolate, really difficult economic times … People suffering behind that, you know. Rock and roll was, I don’t know, some kind of medicine or something. They certainly weren’t celebrating the birth of America.” It seems that Dylan and his entourage were providing a kind of tonic for despondent audiences. Here is what the chauffeur driving Dylan’s violinist, Scarlet Rivera, observed: “I never paid attention to the response between the audience and the people on the stage.… That to me was like a show all by itself.… It was like one battery charging another.”One explanation for the title of the Rolling Thunder Revue is that it was supposedly named after the spiritual leader Rolling Thunder. Interviewed on camera, he explains himself thusly: “It’s beautiful music when that thunder rolls. And that’s the way I got my name. I used to scream like a little eagle is what they told me, even when I was a baby in diapers, ran right out in a storm.… And that lightning flash, there’s lots of power in that.”This was why Dylan thought it made sense to visit and play at the Tuscarora Reservation after he and his entourage performed at Niagara Falls. Ramblin’ Jack recounts: “Bob was seated across the table from me and said, ‘Do you remember Peter [La Farge]’s song about Ira Hayes?’” The film then shows Dylan singing the song from memory for his Iroquois audience. (Ira Hayes was a Pima Indian and U.S. Marine who helped hoist the American flag at Iwo Jima. After the war he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and died from hypothermia and alcohol abuse near his home in Arizona.) Mad Bear from the Tuscarora Reservation presents Dylan with a necklace whose beads, he suggests, might just be the same ones Peter Minuit is said to have used to purchase Manhattan Island from the Lenape. But he closes with the following words: “Somewhere along the line, something has failed, and we hope this country can straighten out before too long, because there’s many things that’s going to happen to shape not only this country but the whole world.”Throughout the movie, Dylan wears white-face paint, a hat with flowers on its left brim, and a scarf, inspired in large part by the nineteenth-century mime Baptiste (portrayed in the legendary 1945 French film Les Enfants du Paradis), while singing with unusual ferocity. Toward the film’s end, Rubin “Hurricane” Carter—the former middleweight boxer about whom Dylan wrote the eponymous song that helped free Carter from prison, where he was languishing on an apparently trumped-up murder charge—makes a smiling, voluble appearance, describing Dylan as a perennial searcher: “I always ask him, ‘Have you found it yet, Bob?’ And Bob says, ‘Yes, I’ve found it,’ but I know he hasn’t, because he keeps searching.” Dylan responds, “I’d say, ‘Well, Hurricane, I’m searching for the Holy Grail … and I am gonna search until I find it, like Sir Galahad.’”Dylan’s official Instagram account quoted Scarlet Rivera, who asserted the following: “It was confirmed for me that I was with a living genius, on the level of Shakespeare of our time.” The Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges imagined Shakespeare, on his deathbed, pleading with God, “I who have been so many men in vain want to be one and myself.” Dylan, like Shakespeare, has adopted many guises, which in his case have taken musical forms with theatrical aspects, some of them very painful for him. Perhaps, as the end nears, Dylan will finally achieve a whole and integrated self. We should hope. God bless.

Não gosto do Carvalhal, não escondo, mas trocá lo pelo Vítor Bruno parece um erro maior. Pelo menos, o 1o é da "casa". Espero estar enganado, que os jogadores consigam respeitar este tipo e que se passou no FCPorto tenha sido mais fruto das curcunstâncias do que da sua possível falta de qualidade
