Suddenly, Democratic Politicians Are Running Away From AIPAC
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/48345159
When he launched his campaign last week for a Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, Representative Seth Moulton made sure that one of his first moves was to announce that he is returning campaign donations that he received from individuals affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and would no longer accept campaign support from the group. Also last week, popular podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan pressed Senator Cory Booker to answer whether he considered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal; The Ringer’s Van Lathan told Governor Gavin Newsom that Lathan would not support a 2028 candidate who took money from AIPAC, resulting in the governor literally squirming and using the word “interesting” repeatedly; radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Governor Josh Shapiro if AIPAC donations improperly influence U.S. decisions on Israeli-Palestinian issues; and MSNBC’s Eugene Daniels asked Kamala Harris if Israel’s actions over the last two years constitute genocide.

2 injured, including a US Marshal, after an ICE agent’s weapon discharged during LA immigration enforcement operation
Two people were injured, including a US marshal, during an immigration enforcement operation early Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Department of Homeland Security said.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s weapon discharged when the agent tried to grab an individual who apparently rammed into a vehicle that was part of a team of ICE and US marshals engaged in immigration enforcement, a law enforcement source tells CNN.

Dal 2007: La Scienza Svela perché il Retinolo è l'Alleato Infallibile Contro i Segni del Tempo
Per decenni, il Retinolo, derivato della Vitamina A, è stato il "Santo Graal" della cosmesi anti-età. Ma questo mito è supportato dalla scienza? Assolutamente sì, e la prova risale a un rivoluzionario studio del 2007. Diciotto anni fa, una ricerca pionieristica dell'Università del Michigan ha dimostrato che il Retinolo non solo riduce le rughe, ma agisce in profondità, stimolando la produzione di procollagene e glicosaminoglicani, essenziali per l'idratazione e la struttura della pelle.
Da allora, la scienza ha trasformato questa intuizione in una certezza, rendendo il Retinolo il "gold standard" raccomandato dai dermatologi. Oggi, le sue azioni - aumento di collagene ed elastina, e accelerazione del rinnovamento cellulare - sono ampiamente confermate. Il segreto è la consapevolezza: un uso graduale e, soprattutto, una costante protezione solare. Il mito è reale, e la scienza lo celebra.

Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files
The partial records are from the third batch of documents produced by Epstein's estate. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee say they include phone message logs, copies of flight logs and manifests for aircraft, copies of financial ledgers and Epstein's daily schedule.
In addition to Musk and Prince Andrew, the files released publicly also contain the names of other prominent figures including internet entrepreneur Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon, a former adviser to US President Donald Trump.
The files turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate appear to show that Musk had been invited to the financier's island in December 2014.

Why is it that my sister and I have different latest kernel versions, even though we both have Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon?
My kernel version is ‘6.8.0-87-generic’ and hers is ‘6.14.00-33-generic’. My brother, who uses CachyOS, has kernel version '6.17.1-2-cachyos'. So it makes a little sense that the kernel is different. Even though I always thought that there was just one kernel that all Linux versions use.
But why is there a different kernel for the same distro?

Biden’s ex-press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre: ‘Why are Democrats not fighting back?’
While this is nominally an account of past events, I can't in good conscience place a book-tour piece in U.S. News.
When CJ Cregg exits the White House for the last time, a passing tourist asks her if she works there. “No,” she replies in the final episode of The West Wing, “No, I’m sorry I don’t.” The former press secretary casts a wistful glance back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, knowing life will never be the same.The evanescence of power is now familiar to Karine Jean-Pierre, who in real life served as White House press secretary for two and a half years under the presidency of Joe Biden. She was the first Black person, first openly gay person and – born in the Caribbean to Haitian parents – first immigrant to hold the title.
But the old saying that all political lives end in failure applies to their spokespeople too. Jean-Pierre spent her final months in the West Wing parrying questions about Biden’s mental acuity, an exercise that increasingly came to be seen as defending the indefensible. She watched as her boss’s legacy was undone, his numerous accomplishments eclipsed by his failure to prevent the return of Donald Trump.
That the whole experience ended on a sour note is made clear by the publication of Jean-Pierre’s memoir Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines. Its front cover offers an image of the White House, seen not through Cregg’s rose-tinted gaze but rather a cracked lens.

Small businesses and states ask court to uphold orders striking down Trump’s tariffs
Lawyers for small businesses and states challenging President Donald Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs on almost all goods imported into the United States urged the Supreme Court on Monday to leave in place rulings by lower courts that struck down most of the tariffs. One group of small businesses told the justices that the tariffs “have equated to the largest peacetime tax increase in American history,” while another contends that the tariffs “upend[] a century of trade law.”
Trump’s executive orders relied on a federal law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, that gives the president the power to take action to “deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States” if he declares a national emergency “with respect to such threat.” When there is a national emergency, the president under IEEPA can “regulate . . . importation” of “property in which any foreign country or national thereof has any interest.”
In Washington, D.C., a pair of small businesses that make educational toys and products went to federal court to challenge the tariffs. The companies, Learning Resources and hand2mind, contend that the tariffs will cost them $100 million this year – nearly 45 times as much as they paid during 2024

Trump-GOP Giveaway to Big Pharma Will Hit Taxpayers With $9 Billion in Higher Drug Costs
The CBO initially projected that the provision, known as the ORPHAN Cures Act, would cost around $5 billion over the next decade. But the office said Monday that its earlier assessment did not take into account several major, high-priced drugs that will be exempted from Medicare price negotiations as a result of the Trump-GOP law.
Among the drugs included in the new CBO analysis is Keytruda, a cancer medication sold by Merck that carries a list price of $24,062 every six weeks. The Trump GOP-budget law delays Keytruda’s eligibility for Medicare price negotiations by at least a year, postponing significant potential savings for taxpayers and patients.
Merith Basey, executive director of Patients for Affordable Drugs Now, said in response to the updated CBO analysis that “the ORPHAN Cures Act is a wildly expensive handout to Big Pharma that will harm patients, drain taxpayer dollars, and weaken the government’s ability to rein in high drug prices.”

Who is paying for Donald Trump's new White House ballroom? "I view this enormous ballroom as an ethics nightmare," says former chief ethics lawyer
The US president has said that he personally will pay for significant portions of its construction, and suggested that some still anonymous donors would be willing to spend more than $20m to complete the project.
The funding model has sparked concern among some legal experts, who say it may amount to paying for access to the administration.
"I view this enormous ballroom as an ethics nightmare," Richard Painter, a former chief ethics lawyer in the Bush White House between 2005 and 2007, told the BBC.
"It's using access to the White House to raise money. I don't like it," he added. "These corporations all want something from the government."
A dinner for potential donors held at the White House on 15 October included senior executives from prominent American companies including Blackstone, OpenAI, Microsoft, Coinbase, Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Amazon and Google.

Huawei e l'indipendenza energetica europea
Huawei è una importante azienda cinese che opera anche sul mercato del fotovoltaico controllando la produzione di gran parte degli inverter che vengono installati negli impianti fotovoltaici, rendendo quindi la produzione di energia solare dipendente dai prodotti di questa azienda. Pare sia stata coinvolta in una inchiesta per corruzione nei confronti di alcuni deputati del parlamento europeo.
In questo articolo del 11 ottobre 2025 di Giulio Cavalli, dal titolo: "Il caso Huawei e la contraddizione dell’Ue sull’indipendenza energetica" su Lettera43 se ne parla, mettendo in evidenza la dipendenza industriale dell'Europa, soprattutto dai produttori cinesi.

The AWS Outage Was a Nightmare for College Students
When Abby Fagerlin tried logging into Canvas, a popular educational technology platform, to check on her assignments Monday morning, she couldn’t get in.That meant the 19-year-old college sophomore, who is studying physics at Pasadena City College, was unable to access materials she needed for her three classes, which were hosted on or linked through the learning management system. After searching online, she realized the Amazon Web Services outage that crippled much of the internet Monday had also temporarily taken down Canvas.
Fagerlin also couldn’t be sure if she’d missed a message from her professors—some of whom she said communicated exclusively with their students through a messaging system hosted on Canvas. Going to talk to one of her professors to ask for physical materials from his class, meanwhile, posed a separate challenge.
“His office hours are [posted] on Canvas,” she said.
It wasn’t just Fagerlin having problems. More than a dozen students at colleges and universities across the country told WIRED the Canvas outage threw off their schedules, preventing them from not just submitting and viewing assignments but also from participating in-class activities, contacting professors, and accessing the textbooks and other materials they need to study.
[...]the disruptions to students are a testament to just how popular Canvas is on college campuses—and how much of modern educational life is increasingly centered on a handful of educational technology platforms.

Cesare Pavese
Raccolta di poesie
giugno 2023
Rilegato
128
Pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1936 – mentre Pavese si trova al confino a Brancaleone Calabro – la raccolta poetica “Lavorare stanca” racchiude i temi che resteranno centrali in tutta la sua opera. Con i versi lunghi, di tredici o sedici sillabe, e uno stile semplice e diretto in contrasto con quello dell’epoca, Pavese apre la strada a un nuovo mondo narrativo, in cui le poesie hanno l’aria di racconti, microstorie. Nonostante i riferimenti a luoghi a lui conosciuti, l’autore dona a ogni elemento – le stelle, l’alba, le colline, ma anche la città, gli uomini e le donne – una dimensione mitica, universale, e fa emergere tra le pagine fitte, distinta, la presenza di un «Io» ingombrante, pur se mimetizzato negli altri. Un viaggio che evoca con nostalgia non solo il passato, ma anche un futuro su cui egli già proietta tutto il senso di inadeguatezza e l’irrimediabilità della propria solitudine. Prefazione di Simona Mingardi.
Rileggere Pavese come se fossimo noi a tornare a casa la sera.
Non ci può essere migliore recensione, per un libro di poesie, se non quella che lo stesso autore scrive. Probabilmente questo lo sapeva anche Pavese che nei due testi in appendice alla sua opera spiega perfettamente le percezioni che la lettura mi aveva dato. In particolare a pag. 120 leggiamo:
Definito “Lavorare stanca” come l’avventura dell’adolescente che, orgoglioso della sua campagna, immagina consimile la città, ma vi trova la solitudine e vi rimedia col sesso e la passione che sevono solo a gettarlo lontano da campagna e città, in una più tragica solitudine che è la fine dell’adolescenza […]
C’è una stanchezza che non passa. Non quella delle braccia, ma quella che scava dentro e non trova nome. Quella di chi lasciava le Langhe per la scintillante città e le sue promesse. Quella di chi si sottrae alla carezza della brezza marina e allo sguardo delle esperidi per un nebbioso posto fisso (non parlo di Pavese). Ma anche di chi è strappato alle proprie radici dall’istinto di sopravvivenza. Pavese siamo noi nel tempo e nello spazio alla ricerca spesso di un orizzonte che si sottrae ad ogni passo. E che per ogni passo in avanti che ci sembrerà di fare non sarà mai più vicino rispetto al punto dal quale eravamo partiti. È come se il percorso obbligato di crescità che la modernità ci ha imposto non facesse altro che allontanarci dall’essere umani mentre ci affanniamo a diventare persone.
La città mi ha insegnato infinite paure
Poesie e poetica
La sua lingua è nuda, prosastica, quasi sgraziata. È il contrario della poesia come la immaginavano gli altri: Pavese non vuole consolare, vuole far vedere.
C’è il lavoro, sì, ma dietro il lavoro c’è l’assenza. L’impossibilità di stare davvero con gli altri, la solitudine come condizione naturale. In questa raccolta, l’uomo è un animale separato: guarda, ricorda, desidera, ma non si muove più. Il mito — quello che Pavese inseguirà sempre — qui è solo un’eco lontana, un sogno che non sa ancora di esserlo.
Cosa rimane
Eppure qualcosa resta. Nella polvere delle Langhe, nei paesi immobili, nei versi che sembrano camminare e non arrivare mai, c’è una specie di pietà. Pavese non giudica ma osserva. La sua poesia è stanca ma lucida, come chi ha smesso di cercare risposte e continua comunque a fare domande.
La vite, la vite e la donna
Come già egregiamente espresso nella recensione de “La Luna e i falò”, scritta da Cristina Desideri per il nostro blog, l’uva e il lavoro che la circonda è un tema centrale anche in Lavorare stanca. Una vite che è la vita stessa che assorbe e rimanda le personalità di chi gli vive intorno, come fa con i profumi e gli aromi delle erbe che crescono nelle sue vicinanze. Una vite che si confonde poeticamente con il desiderio e quindi, per Pavese, con la donna. Un appagamento fugace di felicità terrena e di senso di libertà che si può raggiungere talvolta in un orgasmo etilico o erotico.
Questa raccolta, infine, è un bazar di profumi e sensazioni. Talvolta disturbanti. C’è quasi bisogno, tra una poesia e l’altra di annusare dei chicchi di caffè, come facevano alcuni profumieri del passato, per resettare il naso e predisporlo a una nuova esperienza sinestetica.
La casa editrice
Una menzione di merito va certamente alla casa editrice “4 Punte Edizioni” che ha scelto di ripubblicare questa raccolta. I chiodi a “4 Punte” erano uno strumento di sabotaggio e resistenza usato dai partigiani. I libri “resistenti” che fanno parte della collana #ilTrenoVersoSud ci rinnovano la necessità di sabotare con ogni mezzo controculturale l’egemonia indifferente e repressiva che troppo spesso si respira in questo paese.
L’eccellente prefazione di Simona Mingardi riesce a spaziare in poche righe tra i sentimenti e le opere di Pavese, aiutandoci a comprendere la raccolta.
Un piccolo aneddoto
Cesare Pavese fu vittima della repressione fascista che lo costrinse al confino, presso Brancaleone (RC) tra il 1935 – 36′.
Lo scorso agosto, durante un evento di presentazione di una mia raccolta di poesie svoltasi a Bova Marina (RC), ho avuto modo di conoscere il fratello di un altro confinato politico antifascista. Anch’egli confinato sempre a Brancaleone, nello stesso periodo di Pavese. Il fratello mi ha raccontato che Pavese, essendo un ospite di “spicco”, riceveva talvolta delle sigarette o altre piccole gentilezze dai carcerieri ma non era solito condividere tali “gioie” con gli altri reclusi che certamente non apprezzavano questa caratteristica. Una piccola storia nella storia che certamente nulla toglie al grande poeta ma ci dona una punta di colore nell’affresco del poeta.

My first months in cyberspace
In early 1995 I was 23 and living in a terraced house in Bristol with four friends, about 18 months after leaving university. I’d given up on trying to be an illustrator, had a bit of freelance work making models for Aardman Animations, and would soon be the only one of my friends not to have permanent work. I was increasingly interested in technology and this brand new thing: Internet.

Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating
This does unfortunately happen multiple times per day. Sometimes it’s smaller incidents where the tram driver can get out and collapse the car’s mirror. Other times the owner of the car comes out of a nearby house after the tram used its bell extensively (like today) and moves the car. And then there are times when police needs to get involved to tow the car which often takes upwards of 1 hour.
The truly infuriating part is that if the tram damages a poorly parked car, the transportation company will have to pay the damages. Poorly parked vehicles never get fined and the owners will only need to pay if the car ends up getting towed.
Why do we accept that drivers sabotage a city’s public transport infrastructure like this?

Toyama (Japan) (AFP) – A Japanese court handed down an eight-year jail sentence Tuesday to the father of a woman who publicly accused him of rape, a rare case in the country where many victims stay anonymous.Koji Daimon was convicted of raping his daughter Riho Fukuyama in 2016, when she was in high school.
He admitted to the act but maintained his innocence, arguing that "my daughter was in a state where she could have resisted".
In the ruling, judge Toshiaki Umezawa said that "given that the victim continues to suffer physical and mental distress to this day... the consequences must be deemed grave."
Fukuyama says the rapes began when she was in junior high school when her mother was not at home.
Fukuyama went public in March last year following the arrest of her father.
Just a handful of other victims of similar crimes have revealed their identities in Japan.
"I was relieved" after hearing the ruling, Fukuyama told reporters gathered outside the court in Toyama, a coastal city in central Japan.
"I want to tell the world sexual violence within families does exist. Please don't look away from victims."
Fukuyama said at a press conference earlier this year that she had worried that people wouldn't believe her claims of sexual abuse.
"I want a society where, even when you tell others you've been victimised, the immediate response is 'It's not your fault'," she said at the time.
Among victims who have chosen to go public with their accusations are journalist Shiori Ito, who won a landmark civil case against a prominent TV reporter who raped her.
And in 2021, Rina Gonoi accused fellow soldiers of sexual assault and three of them were later given suspended sentences. She left the military after the assault.
Both women were praised for their bravery in coming forward but also received a barrage of online hate, which forced Ito to move to London.
In a recent high-profile case, an Osaka prosecutor accused her former boss of raping her, but she remains anonymous as she hopes to return to work.
Even though there has been no major #MeToo movement like those elsewhere around the world, modest-sized rallies against sexual violence sprang up across Japan after several alleged rapists were acquitted in 2019.
Law changes have also helped. The definition of rape was broadened in 2017, while the need for victims to prove violence or intimidation was removed in 2023.
As Fukuyama's assaults predated the law changes, the local prosecutors office indicted her father under the then-applicable offence, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun daily.

Child rapist mentality.

Thanks.
