The Palestinian Civil Defence and the Gaza Government Media Office have issued an urgent warning to Palestinians in the Strip, on 10 December. The polar storm “Byron” will hit within 72 hours. Gaza flooding is imminent.More than 90 percent of Gaza’s residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed by the Israeli occupation. This storm threatens more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians, living in worn out tents across the Strip. Officials say that it is expected to bring flash flooding to Gaza — along with strong gusts of wind capable of uprooting tents, rising sea waves, and thunderstorms.

Per una critica anarchica dell’anarchismo
Pensiero anarchico e libertario
Tomás Ibáñez
Saggi
Elèuthera
Settembre 2025
Brossura
152 pp
L’anarchismo non fondazionale qui delineato non intende affatto proporre un nuovo modello di società, bensì spingere singoli e collettivi a costituirsi come «ingovernabili» e a mantenere accesa la resistenza, qui e ora, all’interno di qualsiasi modello di società autoritaria. Un nuovo paradigma che rimanda a un’etica della rivolta piuttosto che a un’epica della rivoluzione (dal sito)
Tomás Ibáñez
Ibàñez è uno psicologo e attivista cresciuto in una cultura libertaria antifranchista. Ma questa espressione, cultura libertaria, non è una semplice nota curriculare. Nella sua attività, e questo libro lo conferma, ha sviluppato quella necessità di approccio iconoclasta che permette all’anarchia di rimanere ancorata all’unica certezza che la mantiene sempre attuale e sempre orizzontale; il dubbio.
La casa editrice
Elèuthera continua ad essere quell’isola culturale – nel pur difficile e reazionario panorama editoriale italiano – dove chiunque abbia una esagerata idea di libertà può trovare ristoro, comunità e soprattutto materiale per nuove domande e spunti. Questo libro, caldamente consigliato, ve ne offrirà di molteplici. Sfogliando il blog puoi leggere diverse recensioni dalla stessa casa editrice. Io stesso ho già avuto il piacere di leggere Latour e Graeber.
Anarchismo non fondazionale
Nel rifiutare le etichette fisse e confinanti ho spesso usato l’espressione “ricercatore di anarchia” per descrivere il mio pensiero. Nel tentativo di far comprendere che ricercare l’anarchia significa seguire un flusso che si nutre del percorso stesso e che pretende la libertà di cercare nuove strade, di imboccare vicoli ciechi che magari sono tali solo perchè non si è guardato bene. Per questo mi sento molto vicino all’approccio non fondazionale inteso da Ibàñez. Un pensiero illuminante che allo stesso tempo rifugge e risolve le questioni poste dai non anarchici nel tentativo di spiegare l’anarchia con uno schema di pensiero non anarchico. L’anarchia non è un pensiero granitico e impeccabile. Non è un qualcosa “da uomini che non devono chiedere mai“. L’anarchia trae le sue spinte dalle imperfezioni e il suo dinamismo dalla libertà di non doversi nascondere.
Il libro
Muovendo da queste premesse il libro si snoda attraverso questioni affascinanti e tutte meritevoli di approfondimento. L’autore riprende Foucault e supera il concetto di potere espresso da Bookchin ribadendo come l’anarchismo non fondazionale sia più in grado di rispondere alle esigenze di questi tempi. Ibàñez riflette anche sulla deriva di onnipotenza della tecnica ed esprime preoccupazioni e analisi sulla cultura della “prevenzione”e su come il potere la utilizzi per ridurre gli spazi di libertà e i diritti delle persone.
Conclusioni
Quello che Ibàñez introduce è quasi una termodinamica, di Lavoiseriana memoria, ma incentrata sulla rivolta. La rivolta non costruisce qualcosa di statico ma si mantiene ingovernabile e quindi progredisce superando se stessa anzichè preferire la comoda autocelebrazione.
Un nuovo paradigma che rimanda a un’etica della rivolta piuttosto che a un’epica della rivoluzione.dalla quarta di copertina

Sectigo’s Wrongful Revocation of RustDesk’s EV Certificate: A Concerning Precedent for the Software Security Ecosystem
Overview
On December 8th 2025, Sectigo abruptly revoked RustDesk’s Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate without presenting any evidence of malicious behavior or security compromise. This unilateral action immediately disrupted RustDesk users worldwide, triggering false SmartScreen warnings, breaking enterprise deployments, and damaging trust in the software supply chain.
As an open-source remote desktop project used by millions globally, RustDesk takes security and transparency as core principles.
Sectigo’s unjustified revocation — later admitted to be a false positive — represents not only a direct harm to our project but also a serious threat to the integrity of the global digital certificate trust model.
Why Sectigo’s Action Is Unacceptable
According to the CA/Browser Forum EV Code Signing Guidelines, a CA may revoke an EV certificate only when supported by verifiable, auditable evidence such
- confirmed malicious activity,
- verified key compromise,
- fraudulent organization information, or
- legal mandate.
None of these conditions applied to RustDesk.
Sectigo’s decision to revoke a critical EV certificate based on an internal false positive — without evidence, without warning, and without transparency — is a breach of industry standards and a dangerous precedent.
If a CA can arbitrarily revoke certificates, the entire trust system that underpins software distribution becomes fragile.

The way the author closed the issue is a bit sketchy but what's weirder is that the OOP doesn't state any of the arguments of his so called deleted forum posts, and instead just makes ungrounded accusations pointing to "supposed security risks others are talking about".

Dieci racconti dell’orrore e del Thriller
Alex Badger
Thriller/horror
18 marzo 2025
Independently published
320 pagine
Mostri orribili, lupi mannari, presenze da altre dimensioni, metamorfosi, ritorni dall’oltretomba, violenza e spargimenti di sangue. Gli ingredienti per un classico racconto dell’orrore, gli elementi adatti a dare senso alla definizione stessa del genere, ai quali però si aggiunge un ulteriore elemento, molto più reale e terribile: la cattiveria umana. L’invidia, il sadismo, l’ossessione, la mancanza di affetto, l’avidità, l’intolleranza, la mancanza di empatia, la disistima di séstessi, la consapevolezza della propria iniquità e della malvagità delle proprie azioni, sono tutte caratteristiche capaci di spaventare molto più di un mostro, un fantasma, un evento sovrannaturale. Nonostante questo, non viene negato, nelle storie, un messaggio di speranze. Se vi sono, in esse, personaggi capaci di atti spregevoli, ve ne sono anche altri capaci di sentimenti e atti positivi, come l’amore, l’amicizia, il senso di protezione nei confronti dei propri affetti, anche a costo di metodi discutibili. Poiché questo è l’uomo. Fatto di luci e di ombre, di bianco e di nero e del grigio che lo rende così sfaccettato.

Racconti horror italiani
“Orrore Italiano: Dieci racconti dell’orrore e del thriller” è un titolo che non lascia spazio a dubbi. In questa raccolta, Alex Badger esplora il lato oscuro dell’animo umano attraverso dieci storie di pura emozione. L’autore oscilla con maestria tra il paranormale e il realismo crudo, intrecciando tematiche forti e contrastanti che mettono a nudo il dolore dei protagonisti, fino a spingerli verso l’atto estremo: l’omicidio o il suicidio.
Il filo conduttore: il dolore e la solitudine
Nonostante la diversità di ambientazioni, situazioni e personaggi, i racconti sono legati da un unico, potente filo conduttore: il binomio tra dolore e solitudine. Nelle pagine di Badger, questi sentimenti si intrecciano inevitabilmente con la follia e il desiderio di vendetta.
La morte non è vista solo come fine, ma come un atto punitivo o, paradossalmente, di liberazione; una meta finale necessaria dopo anni di sofferenze indicibili. L’autore esaspera vissuti e comportamenti, inserendo schegge di realtà brutale all’interno di cornici paranormali. È in questo confine sottile, dove la fantasia si mescola alla quotidianità, che il lettore ritrova le paure più autentiche del nostro tempo.
Bullismo e omofobia: quando l’orrore è sociale
Uno dei temi più toccanti della raccolta è quello del bullismo e dell’omofobia. Badger scava nella paura del “diverso” e in quelle convinzioni retrograde che vorrebbero un mondo immobile e uniforme.
Esemplare è la storia di Gianluca e Lorenzo, una giovane coppia che cerca di sostenersi a vicenda in un contesto di giudizio e odio. La loro vicenda, che culmina nel peggiore dei modi, ci spinge a una riflessione profonda: perché l’amore non può essere semplicemente amore? Chi ha il diritto di decidere chi siamo autorizzati ad amare? Il dolore della solitudine che scaturisce dall’esclusione sociale emerge qui in tutta la sua forza distruttrice.
Il silenzio assordante dell’indifferenza
In un altro racconto, l’autore affronta il tema dell’indifferenza familiare. Protagonista è un figlio ignorato, quasi maltrattato, considerato dai genitori come un errore biologico. Il suo unico desiderio — essere visto, amato, ascoltato — rimane inascoltato.
L’analisi psicologica qui si fa finissima: il bisogno di accettazione da parte delle figure affettive primarie è vitale. Se chi ci ha messo al mondo ci considera “zero”, come possiamo sperare di essere accettati dagli altri? La paura costante di essere invisibile condurrà il protagonista a un gesto estremo, un errore fatale di cui si pentirà quando il tempo sarà ormai scaduto.
Il mito della perfezione: la storia di Lara Barzaghi
Infine, Badger rivolge lo sguardo ai disturbi legati all’immagine di sé con il personaggio di Lara Barzaghi. Bella e fragile, Lara è vittima del bisogno di approvazione e dei canoni estetici imposti dai media. Nonostante la sua bellezza oggettiva, si vede sempre inadeguata, ossessionata da una perfezione irraggiungibile.
Il racconto si configura come una chiara denuncia alla società del perbenismo, un sistema che, anziché guidare e guarire le fragilità, finisce per ammalare le menti più sensibili.
Perché leggerlo? “Orrore Italiano” non è solo una raccolta di genere; è un labirinto di emozioni forti e riflessioni costanti sulla natura umana. Se cercate un libro che sappia spaventarvi ma anche farvi riflettere profondamente sulla società odierna, l’opera di Alex Badger è una lettura imprescindibile.
Biografia
Profilo dell’Autore: Alex Badger
Alex Badger, pseudonimo di Alessandro Errico, è uno scrittore italiano nato a Bari il 23 ottobre 1987. La sua formazione è profondamente legata al mondo dell’immagine e della narrazione visiva: ha frequentato il Liceo Artistico De Nittis, dove tra il 2002 e il 2006 ha consolidato la sua passione per il cinema, il fumetto e la letteratura di genere.
Formazione e Influenze
La sua poetica è influenzata dai grandi maestri dell’orrore e del fantastico. Tra i suoi riferimenti letterari figurano:
- Stephen King e Clive Barker per la capacità di scavare nelle paure umane.
- H.P. Lovecraft per l’orrore cosmico e l’ignoto.
- Il mangaka Go Nagai, che ha segnato il suo immaginario visivo.
Oltre alla scrittura, Badger nutre un forte interesse per il disegno, che considera, insieme alla narrativa, la forma d’arte più libera per esprimere la propria fantasia senza i vincoli economici tipici della produzione cinematografica.
Percorso Letterario
Ha iniziato a dedicarsi seriamente alla scrittura nel 2008. La sua opera “Orrore Italiano: Dieci racconti dell’orrore e del thriller” (pubblicata inizialmente nel 2017 con Europa Edizioni e successivamente con BookSprint Edizioni) rappresenta una sintesi della sua visione del genere: un mix di elementi classici (mostri, magia nera, paranormale) e drammi umani profondamente radicati nella realtà sociale, come il bullismo e l’intolleranza. Il libro viene ripubblicato in autonomia il 18 marzo 2025.
Oltre a questa raccolta, ha pubblicato anche “Incubi e drammi: Storie di orrore e di tragedia”, continuando a esplorare il tema della “cattiveria umana” come il peggiore dei mali possibili.

Evacuations underway in parts of WA with ‘catastrophic’ flooding expected
“Catastrophic” flooding is expected to hit parts of Skagit, Snohomish and King counties Thursday as rivers swell and the region is drenched in rain.Authorities have ordered evacuation for parts of Orting in Pierce County, parts of Skagit County, including Mount Vernon, and Ebey Island east of Everett. An estimated 100,000 Washingtonians could face evacuation orders as floodwaters continue to rise, Gov. Bob Ferguson’s office said Wednesday afternoon.
Ferguson already declared a state of emergency, and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said she’s working to get federal assistance for those impacted.
In Grays Harbor County, a nearly century old dam in Lake Sylvia State Park is showing signs of stress. Although it hasn’t failed yet, it could get worse if these weather conditions continue.
The Carbon River near Fairfax; Cedar River near Renton; Puyallup River near Orting; Elwha River near Port Angeles; Snohomish River at Snohomish; Stillaguamish River at Arlington; and the Skagit River at Concrete and Mount Vernon were all expected to either swell above their record height or come within inches of the record.
The Skagit is expected to rise aggressively until a peak around 4 a.m. Thursday in the Concrete area.

Parts of the US are getting dangerously hot. Yet Americans are moving the wrong wayThe Census Bureau’s new map of the last decade’s population trends shows big growth in the west and on the coasts – and declines in the inland east coast and Great Lakes region.
Now compare that map to ProPublica maps documenting the areas most at risk of extreme heat, wildfires and flooding, and you see the problem. While there has been some recent anecdotal evidence of pragmatic climate migration, overall the census data shows America’s population growth is shifting out of areas that may be the best refuges from the most extreme effects of climate change, and into many areas that are most at risk.
Some of the examples are genuinely mind-boggling. For instance, upstate New York is considered one of the country’s most insulated regions in the climate crisis – and yet almost all of upstate New York saw population either nearly flat or declining. At the same time, there were big population increases in and around the Texas Gulf coast, which is threatened by extreme heat and coastal flooding.
I take issue with the mind boggling quip, this level of stupid is after all why we're in this mess.
They want to pretend that nothing must fundamentally change – even though we’re already seeing that everything is changing faster than ever.

in reply to Darkenfolk • • •... what though? This sounds like an "unhinged" comment. Why is using the alphabet in a point grading system "unhinged"? (Respectfully) wtf are you talking about? You understand how kids get graded in number values, but the alphabet letters signify a certain range of numbers?
I dont know why I try... I hope I can help someone/anyone being reasonable or logical or moral.

And then we wonder why there are so many morons.
