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.”
