L'ultimo messaggio di Amelia Earhart e la piccola Betty Klenck

Money quote: "Close your eyes and imagine yourself in St. Petersburg, Florida in the summer of 1937. Now, step into the sitting room at the Klenck house, where you'll find 15-year-old Betty Klenck seated on the floor in front of her family's radio. Her father has set up a long-wire antenna measuring about 60 feet (18.3 meters) long that runs across the backyard to a pole outside the house. It's strong enough to capture transmissions from much farther than a radio normally could.

It's a good thing Betty was so interested in cruising the airwaves — not to mention that she still describes herself as "crazy about airplanes." Otherwise, she might not have reacted so strongly as she sat there that July afternoon, doodling pictures of fashionable women and writing down the lyrics to pop songs, when she heard a voice come over the radio saying "This is Amelia Earhart. This is Amelia Earhart.""

Da una vita sono affascinato dal concetto di esposizione universale e dal suo derivato, il parco tematico così come l'aveva immaginato Walt Disney. L'intersezione tra questi due mondi è la pianificazione - organica e molto più strutturata da parte del gruppo di lavoro di Disney. Un nuovo libro la racconta nel dettaglio.

Money quote: "In the new book "Walt Disney’s Disneyland", architecture historian Chris Nichols retraces the long road from idea to the media empire’s first park. To hear one animator tell it, Disney first hatched his idea for a play land while plugging away on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. At the film’s premiere, Disney himself made it a kind of reality superimposed atop Los Angeles. Guests strolled along the median of Crescent Heights Boulevard, which had been reimagined as “Dwarfland” and crowned with a charmingly ramshackle cottage and a cast of costumed characters."

Intervista allo scomparso Larry Harvey, fondatore del festival The Burning Man.

Money quote: "I was raised to be radically self-reliant I was raised on a farm; my parents were farmers, though my father was a carpenter by trade. He regarded any unnecessary conversation as mouth-flap. I would have put my arm in a fire to get praise from my parents but I never felt I pleased him. But what I learnt to do was stand on my own two feet."

Ogni tanto una buona notizia. A maggio ci sarà una puntata speciale di “Friends”

https://www.ilpost.it/2020/02/22/friends-reunion/

L'immagine usata da HBO per annunciare la #reunion. Sarà probabilmente la trasmissione di punta del nuovo servizio streaming HBO Max (solo negli Usa, da maggio)

E poi le notizie della stampa italiana sul coronavirus. Titoli equilibrati che invitano alla calma e alla riflessione. Don’t panic!

In compenso arrivano le contromisure elefanti, per chi vive con stile anche ai tempi del colera

Ecco qua, visto che me la chiedevate: la storia di The Burning Man. Il viaggio straordinario di un'epoca ormai finita.

Money quote: "The paradox was unpacked by Larry Harvey, Burning Man’s primary founder, during a lecture in Minneapolis in 2000. He asked the audience to imagine ‘a place that is no place at all apart from what we choose to make of it’. It was Harvey, the landscape gardener and one-time taxi driver, who had, with his carpenter buddy Jerry James and friends, lugged an eight-foot wooden statue onto San Francisco’s Baker Beach, summer solstice, 1986. They weren’t the first to draw a crowd to a flaming object on that beach. Nor was Harvey the first to torch an anthropomorphic figure as a means to catharsis. He didn’t start the fire, but in the three decades before he died on 28 April 2018 following a stroke, Harvey sure kicked up some dust. The newly-built statue was razed annually at Baker Beach until 1990, when it was deemed a public safety hazard destined to be razed somewhere else.

That elsewhere, it turned out, was an absolute nowhere."

Ci vorranno decenni prima che la stampa americana riesca a darsi pace per quel mucchio di banditi, profittatori e falliti che Donald Trump ha tirato fuori e portato nei pressi della Casa Bianca.

Money quote: “A handful of former and wannabe administration officials have descended on the Bellagio Hotel to speak at an annual conference put on by one of their own: Anthony Scaramucci, the investment executive whose stint in the West Wing lasted only 11 days. The summit, called SALT, is a kind of reunion for these Trump discards, who either were hired and fired at the president’s behest, or never landed the enticing job that he had dangled.”
