Chris Robinson Brotherhood - BIg Moon Ritual (2012)
Che Chris Robinson fosse un inguaribile 'fricchettone' è un dato di fatto che ormai dovrebbe essere risaputo. Che fosse però così fricchettone ed anacronistico forse non se lo aspettava nessuno. Così, chiusa (temporaneamente, speriamo tutti) l'avventura dei Black Crowes, il frontman della Georgia si lancia anima e cuore in questa nuova avventura solista, realizzando il terzo disco della carriera lontano dal fratello Rich. Forse, però, non dovremmo neppure definirlo come un disco solista. Già dai due album del 2003 e del 2004 (l'altalenante New Earth mud e l'esaltante This Magnificent Distance) Robinson si era circondato di una vera e propria band, ribattezzata New Earth Mud, e non solamente da un gruppo di turnisti scelti per l'evenienza... rootshighway.it/recensioni/crb…

How Zohran Mamdani Stunned New York and Won the Primary for Mayor
Mr. Mamdani’s victory upended city politics and reverberated nationally. He relied on a memorable message, charisma and a strong ground game.
By Nicholas Fandos, Benjamin Oreskes, Emma G. Fitzsimmons and Jeffery C. Mays
July 1, 2025 Updated 3:58 p.m. ET
"Where Mr. Cuomo lectured from a distance, Mr. Mamdani took his campaign to the streets and asked questions. When other #progressives traded 10-point plans, Mr. Mamdani offered simple, concrete ideas for a city buckling under spiraling costs: free buses, child care and a rent freeze. He may have been outspent on TV and dismissed by newspaper editorial boards, but he turned his candidacy into something closer to a movement that jumped from social media to an army of volunteers."

It’s too easy to make AI chatbots lie about health information, study finds
Well-known AI chatbots can be configured to routinely answer health queries with false information that appears authoritative, complete with fake citations from real medical journals, Australian researchers have found.
Without better internal safeguards, widely used AI tools can be easily deployed to churn out dangerous health misinformation at high volumes, they warned in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
“If a technology is vulnerable to misuse, malicious actors will inevitably attempt to exploit it - whether for financial gain or to cause harm,” said senior study author Ashley Hopkins of Flinders University College of Medicine and Public Health in Adelaide.
