C'è movimento nella gabbia degli amanti delle teorie della cospirazione. L'idea che gli incendi in California siano provocati da armi a raggi azionate da agenti del governo, ad esempio. E poi, c'è sempre una parentesi che non ti aspetti e ti sorprende anche quando si parla di teorie della cospirazione.
Money quote: "(QAnon, for the uninitiated, is the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump is secretly doing a really good job, and is this close to uncovering and disarming various evil forces working against him within the government.)"

California's Wildfires Have Spawned a Truly Weird New Conspiracy Theory
This month, California has been gripped by three devastating wildfires: Northern California’s Camp Fire, which recently became the deadliest in the state’s history, and, in Southern California, the Woolsey and Hill Fires. An emerging, deeply weird conspiracy…
Credo che il giudizio che la storia darà di Donald Trump sarà sempre eccessivo: troppo o troppo poco. In compenso, vivendo in questo momento storico (e tra pochi mesi rischiando altri quattro anni di presidenza Trump), leggere cose come queste fanno veramente rabbrividire. Quale animale è mai Trump? E quali animali si aggregano immediatamente attorno a lui? Perché gente come la governatrice del South Dakota sono pure peggio: sono il motivo stesso per cui Trump esiste.
Money quote: “Since the first days after she was elected governor of South Dakota in 2018, Kristi Noem had been working to ensure that President Trump would come to Mount Rushmore for a fireworks-filled July 4 extravaganza.
After all, the president had told her in the Oval Office that he aspired to have his image etched on the monument. And last year, a White House aide reached out to the governor’s office with a question, according to a Republican official familiar with the conversation: What’s the process to add additional presidents to Mount Rushmore? […]
In private, the efforts to charm Mr. Trump were more pointed, according to a person familiar with the episode: Ms. Noem greeted him with a four-foot replica of Mount Rushmore that included a fifth presidential likeness: his.”

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession…

Le donne, le donne, le donne. E gli uomini? Quand'è che un uomo è felice? Indicatori di mascolina soddisfazione, insomma. Una ricerca prova a stabilire un legame tra genere e felicità che è piuttosto singolare. Condivisibile anche?

Scaricabarile. Questo viene fuori quando si pensa alla sistematica difesa dei predatori sessuali ai vertici di Google e le discriminazioni e la stigmatizzazione che avviene invece per i dipendenti persone "nonbinary".
Money quote: "As women and nonbinary people who work at Alphabet (but who do not speak for our employer), and as people who have dealt with sexual harassment and assault, we want to set the record straight: Our existence as sex-positive and polyamorous people is not inherently abusive or scandalous. The abuses reported in the New York Times arose from corporate power dynamics and misogyny, not from polyamory or BDSM. The perpetrators’ appropriation of polyamory and BDSM terminology simply exacerbates existing power dynamics and makes their victims less likely to come forward."

C'è una cosa che nel XXI secolo non ha veramente senso ma che esiste ancora grazie a una serie di trucchi, giochi di immagine, sovversioni della realtà, diplomazia e ovviamente retaggi storici. È il concetto di monarchia e di nobiltà ereditaria soprattutto monarchica.
Casomai aveste il dubbio: che senso ha che alcune persone vengano considerate costituzionalmente diverse e migliori, potenti, intitolate semplicemente a causa della famiglia da cui nascono? Siamo matti?
Money quote: "Cuando se afirma que la monarquía no es incompatible con la democracia y se esgrimen ejemplos como el de la monarquía sueca, se apunta a un argumento razonable. Se trata del último baluarte defensivo de los partidarios del trono, y merece la pena comprobar su consistencia. Desde él, la cuestión consiste en establecer hasta qué punto nuestra monarquía concreta se parece – jurídica, histórica e incluso genealógicamente – a esa monarquía y a las de otros Estados que también suelen citarse, como Noruega u Holanda. Y hay diferencias palpables."

Money quote: "This three-wheeler would have been used by the German Heer (army) or the Luftwaffe (air force), Hatton says—naval machines eventually had four rotors. Because these machines were conceived to be covert, it’s hard to say exactly how many were in circulation, Hatton adds, or precisely when and where each was used. Judging by the serial number on this one, though, it was manufactured in 1944 by the Olympia Büromaschinenwerke company, an outfit better known for typewriters, for Heimsoeth und Rinke."

La Guerra dei mondi, intesa come sceneggiato radiofonico di Orson Welles, ha cambiato (o meglio: svelato) il mondo della comunicazione. In una maniera che non è per niente positiva, bisogna aggiungere. Due parole: fake news.
Money quote: "In short, by the 1930s, radio had become more trusted than newspapers. Part of the reason was its unique intimacy, and its ability to put you in the centre of an unfolding event without a reporting gap; craven newspapermen could insert their own slant, it appeared, but radio could not. The trust placed in radio also came from the trueness of the sounds it reproduced.
Any conversation about radio’s potential was also a conversation about how Americans listened – and the degree to which radio could persuade them that what they heard was real. ‘Radio has already given sound a wide currency, and sound “effects” are taking the place once enjoyed by sound itself,’ wrote E B White in Harper’s Magazine in 1938. ‘In sufficient accumulation, radio sounds and television sights might become more familiar to us than their originals,’ rendering the solid world make-believe."

Il 30 novembre di due anni fa, cioè un paio di giorni dopo la mia partenza da Las Vegas, un A320 della Frontier Airlines (low cost americana) ha perso la copertura di un motore dopo il decollo da quello stesso aeroporto. Identificato il problema, è tornato a terra senza nessuna conseguenza se non il ritardo per i passeggeri. Qui di seguito, 10 minuti e 11 secondi di puro data journalism, o non saprei come altro definirlo. Il video con l'audio della controllo del traffico aereo locale e gli schemi di quel che sta succedendo, animati in tempo reale. Fantastico! Altro che i video "rubati" dal Corriere e da Repubblica.

Money quote: "The study was conducted on participants who attempted to solve difficult puzzles as quickly as possible while connected to sensors. The puzzles induced a certain level of stress, and participants listened to different songs while researchers measured brain activity as well as physiological states that included heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of breathing."

Accettare le critiche altrui è sempre un problema. Per alcuni, un trauma. Diciamo che Internet, con i social (ma, nel mio piccolo, anche con i commenti agli articoli online) ha trasformato radicalmente tutto questo mondo. Il dolore è palpabile.
Money quote: "The only way to totally avoid criticism is to simply not let anybody find out that you exist. As soon as you start putting your face, name, writing, or actions out into the world, people will have opinions about you. Nobody, no matter how wildly successful, is universally beloved. Haters gonna hate."
