pazzia topastica, pensando e facendo tomi nella mia marciscenza

Forse sarà semplicemente il caldo, o forse sarà più probabilmente il fatto che la mia relativa vecchiaia terribilmente e costantemente avanzante mi rende a poco a poco sempre più insofferente nei confronti dell’esistenza mia stessa già di per sé pesante oltre ogni accettabile grado, ma… ultimi e ultimissimi giorni, e sto davvero impazzendo e marcendo più del solito. Non ancora al punto da decompormi per davvero, e di questo ovviamente un po’ me ne dispiaccio, ma comunque ho l’acqua stagnante nella testa, che è un po’ ops. 💧

Tra tutto, i tomi, in questo inizio settimana che sa come al solito anche da weekend lungo a causa del mio ineluttabile stato di disoccupazione, mi stanno dando in particolar modo alla testa. I fottuti tomi! Eh si, purtroppo, perché l’altra giornata [è ruotata] esclusivamente [attorno al] sito [dei] tomi, oggi [sono accadute e/o mi sono concessa] solo cose di margine coi tomi — che magari tangono o forse non c’entrano con il principio cardine di questa mia tomomania; tra cui il semplicemente mettermi sul lettino con qualche tomo cartaceo in mano per più tempo del solito, sperando o che arrivi la notte o che il mio temporaneo gusto del marcire passi — e invece, nel mezzo… 🐸

…Ho effettivamente davvero raggiunto lo stato di pazzia tomastica e correlato bruciamento del tempo più assurdo mai anche solo concepibile dalla mente umana, e dunque giusto al limite di cosa è esprimibile in un linguaggio corrispondente. Completamente agli antipodi tra loro per tutti gli aspetti secondo cui queste azioni sono all’atto pratico definite: se prima, in preda ad un rapidissimo raptus delirante, ho scritto di mia mano 6 righe di testo privo di alcun senso che vagamente danno una perversa idea di filastrocca riguardo i tomi… poi, dal nulla, mi è saltato in mente di far scrivere un intero “tomo sui tomi” a ChatGPT. 🥴

Ero talmente fuori di testa — evidentemente molto più di oggi — quando ieri tra mattina e pomeriggio mi è venuta questa idea, priva di alcun senso pratico, davvero soltanto perché il mio cervello ha sul momento pensato che la cosa facesse ridere… e ora che tale stronzata esiste davvero non mi capacito di come io abbia mai potuto pensare qualcosa del genere. Tra il mio classico perdere tempo e le altre cose che ho fatto, ieri ho dato solo l’idea all’LLM, mi sono fatta dare la scaletta, e gli ho fatto scrivere i primi 3 capitoli; stamattina invece gli ho fatto generare il resto, ho giusto sistemato gli heading e rimosso le emoji a caso che all’IA piace inserire, e ne è dunque uscito fuori un PDF di quasi 100 pagine in formato ISO B5: “Un Tomo sui Tomi“. Non l’ho ovviamente letto affatto, e mai lo farò, era giusto per generare spazzatura. 😈

Quindi boh, questo è tutto. La mia anima è insomma al momento presa interamente in ostaggio da ciò che i tomi rappresentano, la mia mente è stata completamente divorata dalla parola tomo (o meglio, dal lemma tomo, per rimanere sulla stessa lunghezza d’onda di disagio linguistico-esistenziale) e dai concetti ad essa associati, e le mie viscere sentono il bisogno assoluto del contatto perenne con la cellulosa. Tempo uno o due ulteriori giorni in questa condizione tragicamente psicotica, e vi giurerò di voler diventare a mia volta un tomo, un blocco rettangolare e robusto di carta e cartone, l’oggetto fisico che più accuratamente può sintetizzare la mia stessa essenza vitale in confronto al noioso default di ossa e carne. 💥

The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused the European Union of acting as an “apologist” for Israel after the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas raised concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme.

In a post on X, Esmaeil Baghaei directly addressed Kallas, urging her to “please stop acting as the aggressor’s apologist”.

He also said: “How can you express concern over Iran’s peaceful program that is under the most robust IAEA inspections and ignore the fact that the Israeli regime has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons?!”

The Trump Organization has launched Trump Mobile and plans to release the T1, a smartphone that it says is "made in USA" at the same time that the iPhone 17 will launch. The problem is, the phone was made in China.

Marking ten years after the launch of Donald Trump's original presidential campaign, the Trump Organization has decided to launch its own mobile phone network. Dubbed Trump Mobile, it is a network that is being promoted as an All-American service," and heavily leaning on the Trump brand.

While the launch of a new mobile phone network will certainly draw an audience of Trump followers, it feels more like a cash-in on the Trump brand rather than a real attempt to take on the U.S. mobile market.

Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to federal prison on Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. The New Jersey Democrat has been mocked for the crimes as “Gold Bar Bob,” according to his own lawyer.

Menendez’s lawyers revealed in court papers last month that he is expected to be housed at a facility in eastern Pennsylvania that has both a medium-security prison and a minimum-security prison camp. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp.

Pleading for leniency, Menendez told a judge at his sentencing in January: “I am far from a perfect man. I have made more than my share of mistakes and bad decisions. I’ve done far more good than bad.”

Menendez has also appeared to be angling for a pardon from President Donald Trump, aligning himself with the Republican’s criticisms of the judicial system, particularly in New York City.
