la spantofolanza autodistruggente porta alla fine di ogni momento (pantofole usurate malamente in 2 anni)
Ok… lo so che tutto sommato non freca a nessuno, e anche io forse mi sentirei meno peggio se non dovessi più fare questo tipo di post, ma… Mi si continua a rompere letteralmente ogni immaginabile cosa!!! E così, non solo proprio negli ultimi giorni per il WiiU è uscito uno spacc nuovissimo, che però ora non spiego, in quanto sarebbe un enorme deja-vu, ma ultimamente mi si è rotta anche una cosa completamente a caso, ossia la pantofola… Le pantofole, a dire il vero, ma dopo mesi in cui non ci ho prestato la minima attenzione ultimamente si sono consumate ad un livello non più ignorabile. 😳
Mannaggia a tutti gli spiriti della demolizione non autorizzata e del caos entropico!Livelli di distruzione così stupidi che fatico a credere che, in tutto il mondo, proprio e solo a me devono capitare di continuo. Pantofole non-so merdinose dell’unica azienda-che-non-nomino (e che ho censurato pure dalle foto, perché non voglio querele, grazie) che vende solo pantofole, eppure vende pantofole appunto merdose, spesso di cartone (o qualunque cosa sia quello strano materiale suppongo da 4 soldi che spero abbiano tutti in mente), che si rompono in appena un (1) anno di uso… Beh, queste qui sono un modello non di cartone, e infatti sono durate ben di più… due (2) anni, minchia che qualità. In ordine cronologico, più o meno, la caduta di questo paio di cosi si è avuta così: 💥
La parte di gomma sotto che si è parzialmente ben consumata (non completamente, e comunque tecnicamente da non considerarsi una rottura… è usura normale e penso non evitabile nemmeno con materiali di altissima fattura, ma va detto)
La copertura di stoffa interna (che ricopre il materiale duro tipo gomma) che si è parecchio consumata…
Prima tipo restringendosi di circa mezzo centimetro più in dentro (wtf?), almeno sulla parte esterna…
Poi staccandosi e piegandosi su sé stessa verso sinistra, nella parte più interna, per la pantofola destra…
E poi ancora, in qualche modo bucandosi proprio, nella zona più interna: per entrambe le pantofole, sono usciti buchi di dimensioni comparabili alle dita del piede, nella stoffa… e non ho idea di dove sia finita la materia che stava lì, fisicamente, in realtà
A causa dei pollicioni (si, lo so che si chiamano alluci, ma non mi piace, sembra un nome che ha a che fare con le malattie o con insetti disgustosi), si sono a tutti gli effetti aperti dei buchi nella parte alta delle pantofole…
Qualche mese fa uno nella destra, che ora è diventato così grande che il dito quasi ci esce fuori…
…E proprio ultimamente mi sa, perché non ci avevo fatto caso prima di poco fa, anche nella sinistra se ne sta facendo uno.
Infine, la goccia che ha fatto traboccare il vaso: si è, in qualche misura a me non troppo ovvia, rotto il cosino di metallo che aggancia la linguetta orizzontale della pantofola sinistra, che ha tipo iniziato a non stare più fermo bene, quindi facendo completamente uscire la linguetta, e allentando in modo terribile la pantofola.
Tutto ciò è veramente da manicomio… Ed è proprio per questo che, almeno l’ultimo danno, stasera l’ho sistemato… con la colla a caldo, come nessuna persona normale farebbe per delle pantofole. Non è il massimo, forse la tenuta ora è leggermente più stretta di come fosse prima che si rompesse, ma si va avanti. Tutto il resto, ovviamente, non ci sta versi di acconciarlo, e si vede che relativamente a breve farò bene a comprarlo, uno stramaledetto paio di nuove pantofole… Però boh, se queste fanno schifo, quali cavolo dovrei comprare? Considerato che il negozio locale è mal fornito… o spero nel fatto che cercando a settembre, anziché facendo tardi come al solito e arrivando quindi a fine novembre, si trovi effettivamente qualcosa… o sennò dove cazzo devo cercare, su AliExpress??? 💔
P.S., ecco un fatto pantofoliaco non particolarmente divertente, ma importante per la lore: queste pantofole le ho da letteralmente quasi 2 anni, nel senso di 2 anni di uso ininterrotto… perché sono tecnicamente invernali, ma non sono davvero pesanti, e quindi è successo che per questi 2 anni le ho usate anche per tutta l’estate…yikes. Questo perché verso l’estate scorsa ho cercato ciabatte estive che non fossero di plastica (quelle le uso al mare, ma in casa non gradisco), ma non le ho trovate, mentre quest’estate… da un lato la cosa mi è sfuggita di mente, visto anche come l’estate stessa mi è un po’ scivolata dalle mani, ma dall’altro lato mi ero semi-rassegnata a fare come l’anno precedente. Quindi, ok, c’è sicuramente anche questo da tenere in conto per l’usura… però che tremendicità assoluta comunque!!! 🥴
The Brennan Center obtained an internal oversight report detailing the two-months-long exposure of federal, state, and local intelligence about Americans.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta this week joined eight attorneys general in calling for the review of the Wireline Competition Bureau’s abrupt suspension of the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) order capping the cost of phone and video call rates for incarcerated people and their families, indefinitely postponing these reforms without adequate justification. Communication services play an important role in keeping incarcerated people connected to their loved ones and support systems, ultimately reducing disciplinary actions in prison, improving the likelihood of rehabilitation, and mitigating the negative impacts of incarceration on the community. These services can be provided at a reduced cost without sacrificing accessibility or safety, as California and other states that have opted to provide these services free of charge have clearly demonstrated.

In the days following the murder of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, his friends and allies have called for revenge against all kinds of groups, including trans people and the so-called radical left, even as the motivations of the alleged shooter, who was reportedly raised in a Republican household, remain far from clear. Now, some of those same rightwing figures are homing in on another target: colleges and universities, which they blame for radicalizing both the alleged shooter and, more broadly, people they accuse of celebrating Kirk’s death.
“These universities should not receive a single American tax dollar.”
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old Utah man who is accused of shooting Kirk, reportedly attended just one semester of college at Utah State University in 2021. He later enrolled at a technical college, where he was a third-year electrical apprentice. Those facts make it clear that traditional higher education factually could not have played a meaningful role in what led him to allegedly shoot Kirk. But that logic hasn’t mattered to figures like MAGA activist and Trump confidante Laura Loomer, who tweeted on Sunday that it was “time to defund American universities. You don’t need to go to college. Charlie Kirk didn’t go to college.” (At 18, Kirk dropped out of an Illinois community college after one semester to dedicate his time to activism, with funding from Turning Point co-founder Bill Montgomery; after high school, Kirk unsuccessfully applied to West Point.)
In her tweet, Loomer tagged Harmeet Dhillon, an Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, who responded, “I’m on it. And all the other haters at our American funded schools.”
Dhillon is one of the Trump-appointed officials who has been deeply involved in the push to try to expose, embarrass, or fire anyone speaking ill of Kirk or seeming to celebrate his murder. She praised actions taken against faculty members at Clemson University, where one person has been fired and two instructors suspended after making what the university called “inappropriate” remarks about Kirk following his death.
Dhillon called Clemson’s actions “a good start,” adding, “Federal funding for higher education is a privilege, NOT a right. The government is not obligated to fund vile garbage with our tax dollars.”
This general line of argument—that federal funding should be pulled from universities whose employees say things Trump and his allies don’t like—has animated the administration’s long-standing attacks on higher education. But since Kirk’s death, it’s been widely repeated in a new context. Take Representative Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who issued a press release on Monday calling on the Department of Education to cut off “every dime of federal funding to any elementary, secondary, or post-secondary school who refuses to remove or discipline staff who glorify or justify political violence.”
“This is why these universities should not receive a single American tax dollar,” tweeted Lara Logan, a former CBS journalist turned conspiracy theorist, while reposting a report about a University of Michigan professor accused of celebrating Kirk’s death. “They preach hatred of this country, which is Marxist doctrine. It is helping to destroy this country from within—wake up.”
Other figures, like Federalist editor-in-chief Molly Hemingway, called for what could credibly be described as affirmative action to make schools more conservative. “All public universities should be required to have minimum 50% of their staff be conservative professors by spring 2026,” she tweeted. “In each department.” When a journalist on the site asked if she supported affirmative action, Hemingway responded, “No, I want to remove the left-wing oppression that has destroyed American universities.”
Beyond calls to defund colleges and universities, other figures have said that such institutions need more surveillance and campus activism from conservative students. The group includes longtime sting video maker James O’Keefe, who said his company O’Keefe Media Group “will be distributing hidden cameras nationwide to those who are witness to abuse in their school and who are willing to expose it.” O’Keefe added that he would host a livestream this week “where we will put campus corruption on blast and issuing a clear call to action: it’s time to rip the rot out of America’s education system.”
American higher education has long been depicted on the right as a hotbed of Marxism. Yet Kirk’s organization Turning Point USA itself could not have been created without institutes of higher learning; it was explicitly created to promote conservative views in high school, college, and university campuses—and it has thrived on many. Kirk himself said earlier this year that he thought his messaging was working, tweeting that he felt college students were becoming more conservative, even if the institutions themselves remained more liberal.
The right’s renewed pledge to attack universities is just one piece of what the White House has said will be a government-wide push to dismantle “radical” organizations following Kirk’s murder, which Trump has repeatedly blamed on the “radical left.” In practice, this appears to mean threatening left-leaning organizations with defunding and investigation. Speaking on Monday as a guest host of Kirk’s podcast, Vice President JD Vance also threatened to “go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates and engages in violence.”
All systems go at SFO! Waymo has received our pilot permit allowing for commercial operations at San Francisco International Airport.
We’ll partner with SFO to prepare our operations at the airport in phases, beginning with employee testing soon ahead of welcoming Bay Area riders. Pickups and dropoffs will initially start at SFO’s Kiss & Fly area – a short AirTrain ride from the terminals – with the intention to explore other locations at the airport in the future.
This is a major milestone that strengthens Waymo’s impact on the region and offers residents and visitors an innovative way to travel. With years of experience serving riders at Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) and operations beginning soon at San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC), we’re accelerating our efforts to serve more airports in more cities as we scale.
“Across San Francisco, we are expanding safe, reliable, and modern transportation options—supporting our city’s economic comeback, boosting our tourism industry, and connecting residents and visitors to everything our city has to offer,” said Mayor Lurie. “We announced in March that we wanted visitors to be able to ride in a Waymo as soon as they arrived in San Francisco, and today, we are taking another important step to get there.”
“Bringing the Waymo experience to San Francisco International Airport is about more than just a ride—it’s about providing a safe, reliable, magical way for Bay Area residents and global visitors to connect with the places and people that matter most,” said Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO, Waymo. “We’re grateful for the partnership with SFO and the vision of Mayor Lurie in making this a reality.”

A new Harvard survey found that 41% of Amazon employees get their schedule less than two weeks ahead of when they are scheduled to work, a practice known as “just-in-time” scheduling. For many employees — especially for those with responsibilities outside of their Amazon job, like caregiving, education, or additional jobs — just-in-time arrangements are unworkable.
(...)
Just-in-time scheduling could have other consequences beyond leaving workers with little control over their own schedules and lives. The practice could mean that workers aren’t given enough hours, forcing them to become part-time workers with virtually no notice or ability to budget accordingly. Workers in the warehousing and transportation sectors are particularly likely to report high rates of anxiety, stress, and lack of control over their jobs as compared to other sectors — on top of elevated risk of injury and illness. And Amazon’s use of just-in-time scheduling could be indicative of other unfair scheduling practices, like “on-call” requirements — which force workers to remain available for shifts that may or may not come to be — or refusal to reschedule workers.

The nationwide, bipartisan movement to eliminate so-called "junk fees" for renters has reached Massachusetts, where landlords are now forced to share the total price of what they are renting out with a future tenant before asking for any personal information.
Massachusetts is only the latest in a series of states which have introduced similar legislation against hidden fees in the rental market in recent years, including California and Colorado, as Americans struggle with a housing affordability crisis.
A study by the National Consumer Law Center found that junk fees cost American tenants hundreds of millions of dollars a year, disproportionately impacting the lowest-income and marginalized renting households, who spend a higher share of their wages on these hidden costs.
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, over 21 million renter households—the equivalent of about half of all renter households—spent more than 30 percent of their monthly income on rent in 2023, enough to be considered cost-burdened.
The nationwide, bipartisan movement to eliminate or limit so-called rental "junk fees" is growing, as lawmakers try to offer relief to struggling tenants.
The federal government on Wednesday proposed rescinding a Bureau of Land Management rule that allows the department to consider conservation as part of its multi-pronged approach to federal land management.
The change comes as the Trump administration continues pushing for increased resource utilization of public lands, including through logging and mining.
The proposal drew immediate reactions — with political leaders praising the reversal as helpful to energy production but conservation groups decrying it as another harm to public lands access.
The New York Times on Monday published a blockbuster report detailing how US President Donald Trump’s administration gave the United Arab Emirates access to high-powered artificial intelligence chips just days after receiving a massive investment in Trump’s cryptocurrency startup.
As the Times report documented, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) ruling family, had one of his investment firms deposit $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, the startup founded by members of the Trump family and the family of Trump Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
Just two weeks later, wrote the Times, “the White House agreed to allow the UAE access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced and scarce computer chips, a crucial tool in the high-stakes race to dominate artificial intelligence,” despite national security concerns about these chips being shared with China.

The Trump administration on Monday added Colombia to a list of nations failing to cooperate in the drug war for the first time in almost 30 years, a stinging rebuke to a traditional U.S. ally that reflects a recent surge in cocaine production and fraying ties between the White House and the country's leftist president.
Even as it determined that Colombia had failed to comply with its international counternarcotics obligations, the Trump administration issued a waiver of sanctions that would have triggered major aid cuts, citing vital U.S. national interests.
Thanks to a unique corporate ownership structure that gives him complete control of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg has essentially created his own personal California super PAC, allowing him to spend Meta’s money on politically protecting his priorities in the heart of the tech industry — and, possibly, against the interests of his corporate rivals. Meta confirmed that the company plans to spend tens of millions of dollars as part of the initial investment and said that it would figure out who had ultimate decision-making power over candidates to back, and whether Meta’s own social media products were used to promote those candidates, once the super PAC was up and running.
“It’s essentially a way for [Zuckerberg] to spend the company’s money on his political choices, whereas at a company like Google, there’s not a single person who’s a majority shareholder who can dictate what the company does,” Rick Hasen, a UCLA law professor specializing in election law, told The Verge. “It’s interesting, because Zuckerberg could just spend his own personal money to do this. But instead, he’s doing it through the company.”

For the hundreds of men who were detained at Alligator Alcatraz, entering the gates of the makeshift migrant detention center in the Everglades meant exiting the labyrinthine but familiar federal immigration process and entering what several immigration attorneys described as an alternate system where the normal rules don’t apply.
One Guatemalan man detained at the tent site was accidentally deported to Guatemala before a scheduled bond hearing, his attorney said, reminiscent of the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
A 35-year-old Cuban man could not be located at the California detention facility where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said they had sent him, leaving his family and attorney frantically trying to determine where he was for more than a week, they said.
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald. The Herald had obtained the names from two detainee rosters.
Texas Tech University declined to say Monday why its police officers arrested a student who was filmed in a heated exchange at a vigil for Charlie Kirk — an incident that drew national attention, with Gov. Greg Abbott cheering her arrest for mocking the conservative activist’s assassination.
The university police department would only say that the student, 18-year-old Camryn Giselle Booker, was charged on Friday with simple assault, a class C misdemeanor that typically does not result in jail time. The department said the arrest happened in a “free speech area” near the student union. She was booked into the Lubbock County jail at 4:52 p.m., and released the next day at 2:11 p.m. after paying a $200 bond, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office said.

O’Rourke has acknowledged that his group sent more than $1 million to Democratic groups in the Texas House. But he’s said the money had no strings attached and didn’t demand any actions as Paxton has claimed. He said they simply were supporting Democrats like any other political action committee is allowed to do in the name of supporting free speech.
The case continues, even though the Democrats who fled the state have returned and the redistricting maps are now passed.
Paxton may still be winning a larger battle against O’Rourke by forcing him and Powered By People into court, where they’ve now had to spend nearly $400,000 in legal fees on the case, according O'Rourke. And until Friday’s ruling, the group’s accounts were frozen, making it unable to do any of its usual activities.
Amid a conservative firestorm over online speech, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr on Tuesday rejected the notion that the government should crack down on social media posts following conservative organizer Charlie Kirk’s assassination. “I think you can draw a pretty clear line, and the Supreme Court has done this for decades, that our First Amendment, our free speech tradition, protects almost all speech,” Carr told POLITICO’s Alex Burns on stage at the POLITICO AI & Tech Summit.
An appeals court ruled Monday that Lisa Cook can remain a Federal Reserve governor, rebuffing President Donald Trump’s efforts to remove her just ahead of a key vote on interest rates.
The Trump administration is expected to quickly turn to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch bid to unseat Cook. The Fed’s next two-day meeting to consider its next interest rate move begins Tuesday morning. And Cook’s lawsuit seeking to permanently block her firing must still make its way through the courts.
The White House campaign to unseat Cook marks an unprecedented bid to reshape the Fed’s seven-member governing board, which was designed to be largely independent from day-to-day politics. No president has fired a sitting Fed governor in the agency’s 112-year history.
In case you were wondering how media in different countries assess the US' situation, one of Austria's most read newspaper did a cover story on the Kirk assassination, describing it as the US edging closer to civil war. Apologies that it's in German, I've translated the title at least.
