Marco M.M. wrote that high-resolution weather model analyses indicated a phase of bad weather for the following day over part of Italy, with locally intense precipitation possible. According to the author, an Atlantic disturbance coming from the western Mediterranean would have triggered humid southern currents, whose interaction with the mountain ranges and the convergence of winds at the surface would have favored the stronger phenomena. Liguria would have been the region to monitor with greater attention: downpours and thunderstorms could have begun as early as the night, especially between the western and central sectors, before extending to the east. Marco M.M. specifically noted the Savonese, the Genovese, and later the Spezzino, where accumulations in a few hours could have caused hydrogeological issues. The author also forecasted widespread precipitation in Piedmont, particularly in the western and northern areas, in Aosta Valley, and in Lombardy, especially to the west and in the Alps. In Emilia-Romagna, the worsening weather would have mainly affected the western sectors and the Apennines; in the Northeast, the phenomena would generally have been less intense, although rain was expected in the alpine and prealpine elevations. Tuscany would also have required attention, with possible strong thunderstorms from the afternoon and especially between evening and night along the coast, in Lunigiana, Versilia, Garfagnana, and in the Apennine mountains. The location of the most intense cells remained uncertain, he clarified. The worsening weather would then extend to Umbria and Lazio, especially to the west and north. In Marche and Abruzzo, less widespread precipitation was expected. In Sardinia, scattered and locally intense downpours and thunderstorms were possible, especially in the west and north; part of the more organized activity could have remained over the surrounding seas. In the South, according to Marco M.M., dry intervals and clearings would have prevailed, without excluding localized instability between the Ionian Calabria and eastern Sicily. The author also predicted a strengthening of southern and southwestern winds, with strong gusts over the Tyrrhenian Sea, around Sardinia, and along the exposed coasts. He urged caution without alarmism and noted a new disturbed impulse between Wednesday the 21st and Thursday the 22nd, accompanied by a moderate temperature drop of 3-5 °C over most of the Peninsula. #Maltempo #PrevisioniMeteorologiche #Autunno (translated)

Mauro had called some analyses absurd and criticized those who formulated them, arguing that they did not know the subject. In his opinion, listening to some trap songs would have shown what the boys who broke windows to steal the latest Nike model or a phone had in mind: not a revolutionary consciousness or demands for justice, but the desire to satisfy consumerist needs. #trap #musica #consumismo (translated)

“STANFORD SOCIAL INNOVATION REVIEW (INSTAGRAM)” — “LA RIVOLUZIONE A SEI POSTI: UN REGISTA TEATRALE (FRANCESCO GRAVINO) HA TRASFORMATO UN’EDICOLA ABBANDONATA IN UN’ESPERIENZA TEATRALE RADICALMENTE NUOVA” by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA https://ssir.org/bios/luciano-magaldi-sardella SOURCE: https://www.instagram.com/p/Deor7xKlwNH/ Nella città di San Severo, nel sud Italia, un’edicola arrugginita è stata trasformata nel teatro più piccolo del mondo e in un modello replicabile di rigenerazione urbana creativa. Nel numero autunnale di SSIR, Luciano Magaldi Sardella descrive come questo teatro da sei posti sia una risposta alle forze digitali e demografiche che stanno svuotando intere parti di città ovunque. Il “Teatro-Edicola” è “non tanto una dichiarazione sulla piccolezza fine a sé stessa, quanto un’ipotesi sulla prossimità, l’intimità e l’accesso come motori della partecipazione culturale. … L’esperienza è, per sua stessa struttura, relazionale piuttosto che transazionale. (Francesco Gravino)”.

RADIO ARC 101:“EDICOLE, “RAZZE IN ESTINZIONE” COME I BAR: SOLDI PERSI E SPERANZE DA STANFORD” by NANDO SILVESTRI SOURCE: https://radioarc.it/edicole-razze-in-estinzione-come-i-bar-soldi-persi-e-speranze-da-stanford/ Le edicole sono un altro scrigno di umanità e conoscenza per molti versi simili ai bar, almeno per quanto concerne l’infausto epilogo che riguarda molte di esse. L’odore di carta stampata, di cartoncini colorati, copertine variopinte, buste a sorpresa e cellophane, era una melassa olfattiva che un tempo inebriava grandi e piccini e rappresentava, al contempo un’ ambita meta di passeggiate e pause giornaliere. Passare per l’edicola significava attingere alla conoscenza, allo svago, alla cultura, alla fantasia e alla creatività. Tutte prerogative perse a causa dei surrogati informi e amorfi diffusi dal web. E’ questo il motivo principale della chiusura cunulata e ricorrente di moltissime edicole italiane: in economia si parla di comparto a caduta della domanda. Ma non chiude solo un’edicola, chiude un pezzo di economia locale e nazionale. Da 35000 edicole nel 2005 a circa 20000 nel 2024: -43%. Con loro se ne va un fatturato diretto di oltre 400 milioni l’anno, ma il vero buco è l’indotto che non si calcola mai. Ogni edicola media in un paese generava distribuzione per 15000€/anno di margini per distributori locali, corrieri, tipografie. Inoltre, il cliente che comprava il giornale prendeva il caffè, il biglietto del pullman, la schedina. Write on Medium Si deve pensare che senza edicola, il cinema di paese perde il suo unico punto promo fisico, senza parlare delle perdite in materia di pubblicità. Quando chiude, non perde solo l’edicolante. Perde il bar, perde l’autista, perde il tipografo. In Irpinia negli ultimi 5 anni Avellino ha perso 6 edicole, Ariano Irpino 3, Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi 2. La perdita totale in Irpinia ammonta a circa il 22% di punti vendita. Tutto ciò significa che molte delle chiusure succitate hanno sottratto ai bar irpini diverse decine di clienti danneggiando lavoratori, distributori e fornitori. Sono posti di lavoro che non fanno notizia, ma esistono. Un altro duro colpo inferto all’economia locale e nazionale in nome di un finto progresso che favorisce quasi sempre gli affari dei faccendieri e dei soliti noti. Tuttavia, ciò che accade in Puglia, a pochi chilometri dall’Irpinia, apre scenari di rinnovamento basati proprio sulla riconversione delle edicole dismesse. Si tratta di prospettive talmente uniche ed innovative da aver suscitato l’interesse di tutto il mondo, in special modo dell’Università di Stanford. Si tratta di notizie di enorme portata che pochi notiziari hanno divulgato in nome di una perenne prelazione delle tecnologie sprezzanti di buonsenso, tradizioni e arte. A San Severo (Foggia), a 40 km dall’Alta Irpinia un’edicola abbandonata da 6 anni in via Matteo Tondi è diventata il 27 marzo 2026 il Teatro-Edicola Foyer’97: 6 sedie, 4mq, idea di Francesco Gavino. Gli apprezzati spettacoli di 10/15 minuti hanno incuriosito l’università di Stanford. La sua rivista accademica Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), ha scelto il Teatro Edicola di San Severo come caso di studio internazionale con il reportage “The Six-Seat Revolution”. Perché Stanford ci guarda? Perché ha capito che quei 4 mq possono tornare a generare indotto. Difatti, 60 spettatori in un pomeriggio possono diventare 60 caffè al bar vicino. Con un biglietto simbolico di 5€ si parla di micro economia culturale. Senza contare l’indotto di turisti e giornalisti che arrivano e frequentano B&B e ristoranti. È il modello che serve all’Irpinia: non lasciare il buco, ma riconvertirlo virtuosamente. Ogni edicola chiusa può diventare info-point, micro-cine, box servizi. Altrimenti continuiamo a contare solo le saracinesche abbassate, senza contare i soldi che non girano più.

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang criticized Germany's lag in future technologies. While Huang pointed to German talent and technical know-how, he saw the problem in Europe's tendency to overthink projects. Boeminghaus reacted sarcastically to the notion that such concerns were a fairytale. At the same time, Boeminghaus referred to a planned collaboration between Nvidia and the German government, according to Handelsblatt. This involves investments of several hundred million euros in industrial AI, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and open AI models. The partnership is scheduled to be presented on October 19 in Berlin; the Nvidia developer conference GTC is set for October 20 to 22. https://t.co/pQ0vPFd1rX #Deutschland #Technologie #KünstlicheIntelligenz (translated)

Research shows that with a lot of AI usage, you have less brain activity; you become dumber. With mass usage: smarter models and we collectively become dumber. This leads to less critical, resilient citizens. That affects democracy. Tech companies want that; they want power. Laurens Dassen #Buitenhof #Buitenhof (translated)

Alessandro Orsini defined Paolo Meloni and Gentiloni as responsible for a failed strategy in Ukraine. He argued that the devastations endured and the loss of the richest and most strategic regions, as well as almost all access to the sea, had compromised the country's prospects for prosperity. To describe the situation, he compared it to an Italy deprived of Lombardy, Veneto, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna and almost entirely lacking access to the sea, with only the port of Ginostra. Orsini accused Paolo Meloni of emptying the arsenals of the Italian army in an attempt to defeat a superpower that, according to him, possesses 5,500 nuclear warheads, using a very weak country. He said that the price would be paid by the Ukrainian people, to whom he expressed solidarity, and asked who could bring Ukrainian children back to life. He added that he warned Giorgia Gentiloni that the situation would end badly and told Paolo Meloni that policies regarding Ukraine should protect the lives of children, but he was insulted and defamed. Finally, he thanked those who participated in the presentation of his new book at the Feltrinelli bookstore in Largo Argentina, Rome, and announced that he would present it in Milan in November. https://t.co/k0zRzkER1b #Ucraina #PoliticaItaliana #Solidarietà (translated)

Alessandro Orsini defined Paolo Meloni a failure and argued that Gentiloni and Meloni deserved to be considered the "two failures of Italy" for their strategy in Ukraine. According to Orsini, the devastation and loss of the wealthiest and most strategic regions, as well as almost all access to the sea, had compromised the country’s prospects for prosperity. To describe the situation, he likened it to that of an Italy deprived of Lombardy, Veneto, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna with only one port, that of Ginostra. Orsini accused Paolo Meloni of having emptied the warehouses of the Italian army in an attempt to defeat a superpower that, according to him, has 5,500 nuclear warheads, relying on a very weak country. He said that the price would be paid by the Ukrainian people, to whom he expressed solidarity and closeness. He also stated that he had warned Giorgia Gentiloni that the situation would end badly and Paolo Meloni that the policies in Ukraine should protect the lives of children, but that he was not listened to and was insulted and defamed. He asked who could bring Ukrainian children back to life. Finally, he thanked those who had participated the night before in the presentation of his new book at the Feltrinelli bookstore in Largo Argentina, Rome, and announced that he would present it in Milan in November. https://t.co/k0zRzkER1b #Ucraina #PoliticaItaliana #Solidarietà (translated)

Gr@ntlɘr wrote that Karl Lauterbach is going viral. The author pointed out that the former Health Minister has now taken over the chairmanship of the Committee for Research, Technology, Space Travel, and Technology Assessment. He also mentioned Lauterbach's previous work with model calculations and what Gr@ntlɘr referred to as mask theater. According to the article, Lauterbach stated that Macron's electric duck is the future, while Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster is "grotesque." This assessment is being spread worldwide as an example of "Made in Germany 2026," wrote Gr@ntlɘr. #KarlLauterbach #MadeInGermany #Viral (translated)
