Watch: 'Eternity' trailer finds Elizabeth Olsen in afterlife love triangle upi.com/Entertainment_News/Mov…



Leí hace tiempo que un académico marxista italiano se había puesto a investigar el origen de la "cocina tradicional italiana" y había descubierto que buena parte de sus platos eran:
a) mucho más recientes de lo que la gente piensa y/o
b) su origen no estaba en Italia.

La prensa le había apodado "el hombre más odiado en Italia".

Si os interesan las historias que mezclan gastronomía y política, hay un podcast maravilloso que se llama

Es una maravilla lo bien que lo narra todo este periodista.

Plain language is communication that your audience can understand the first time they hear or read it. This varies by audience, of course. What is common vocabulary for accountants won't necessarily be common for chemists, clergy, or engineers. Know your audience.

Two principles to follow when it comes to getting a politician to do something they don't want to do.

1) "Enough pressure" is the point at which doing the thing is less worse than continuing to not do it.

2) Everything is impossible until the moment that it becomes inevitable.

If you want to use a computer in 2025, you have three choices:

WINDOWS - Like living with a middle manager who has been told they will lose their job if they don't increase their sell-through rate by 7%

MAC - Like living with a frustrated artist who wakes up every morning and says things like "what if we got rid of the color green"

LINUX - Like living with me

some people are like, "no trump kept all his promises" and...like, I know people think they're being savvy or something, but agreeing with frank luntz does not make you savvy. It makes you a mark and a shill for trump. don't be that asshole.
RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:htdsa…


GOP is arguing that Trump fulfilled his promises and voters are fickle, which is why his poll numbers are weak. This is nonsense. Trump has betrayed every major promise he made in the campaign. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/no-trump-i...

Yet another example of a 'Smart device' company deciding that - No. You Don't actually Own The Thing.

"Smart home device maker Futurehome is forcing its customers’ hands by suddenly requiring a subscription for basic functionality of its products.

“You lose access to controlling devices, configuring; automations, modes, shortcuts, and energy services,” a company FAQ page says." - ArsTechnica

There is a very funny (well it used to be funny) chapter in one of his books where he gets in an argument with the door to his apartment which won't let him out since he hasn't paid for it. I think he also has to argue with the fridge.

Man was a visionary.

Unfortunately.

Will electronic connected doors threaten people they will unlock if you don't pay the new monthly fee?

We already have someone sitting in the dark because of Futurehome.

@futurebird when we moved into our current house, I put a smart lock on a door that goes to the garage because I figured it would be useful to be able to let contractors in, or neighbors if something happened while we were traveling, etc.

The one non-negotiable was that the lock had to be fully mechanically functional. Keyhole on the front and thumb turn inside, both working with or without power. It's amazing how many didn't meet that very basic criteria!

@futurebird He also had a bit in a novel from the late 60s in which people had access to a global computer network, but used it to play games while they were supposed to be working.

(I wish I could send a message back in time, to tell him that I was chatting about his book with strangers on a global computer network when I was supposed to be working.)

@futurebird Ubik iirc... yes, seemed very funny at the time - and I liked the way the occupant had to wait for a visitor to call to then lend them (again) the cash to open the front door!

As I say... at the time...

@futurebird Been hoping writers will stop writing warning dystopian futures and start writing like...soap operas set in utopian futures.

Folks'll still have people issues if and when the world is better. Let's just show that. Show the world being great, and then have like..whatever human interest set on that backdrop to tell the story.

Or just do like..ted lasso stuff, but in the future, where it's all good people and sometimes people make mistakes and there's competition to have

Offensichtlich meinen einige, eine Hungersnot bestünde nur, wenn alle Menschen in einer Region (ver)hungern. Als ginge es nicht um Mangelernährung oder fehlende Medikamente oder Lebensmittel, die kranke Menschen besonders benötigen. Bin einigermaßen erschüttert über die Kaltherzigkeit einiger. #Gaza
