MTV spegne i canali musicali in Europa: è davvero la fine di un’era?
“I want my MTV” è stato il grido di una generazione. Quarant’anni dopo, MTV archivia un altro capitolo della propria storia: entro il 31 dicembre 2025 verranno spenti in UK i canali tematici MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV e MTV Live; resterà in onda solo il flagship MTV a programmazione d’intrattenimento. La stessa strategia tocca altri Paesi europei (con ulteriori chiusure nell’Europa centrale e nel Benelux), in linea con un consumo dei video musicali ormai migrato su YouTube, Instagram e TikTok. In Italia, invece, al momento sopravvivono sia MTV (intrattenimento) sia MTV Music su Sky/NOW, un lascito che tiene accesa la fiammella della “Music Television” per gli abbonati.

Il libro dialoga con il lavoro pluriennale dell’autrice e si affianca idealmente ad una sua opera di riferimento, “Nativi Americani. Guida alle Tribù e Riserve Indiane degli Stati Uniti”, tracciando un dittico complementare: da una parte la mappa dei popoli e dei territori, dall’altra il cuore simbolico dei miti e delle pratiche spirituali. Ne scaturisce un percorso che non folklorizza né semplifica, ma accompagna con precisione e rispetto studiosi, docenti, studenti, operatori culturali e lettori curiosi e appassionati.
Questo titolo si inserisce nella vasta collana che Mauna Kea Edizioni dedica da anni alla cultura nativa, un progetto editoriale che preferisce la cura alla fretta e la responsabilità all’effimero. Non un marchio che “presenta”, ma una casa editrice che continua a farsi tramite: scegliere i testi, ascoltare le comunità, offrire strumenti affidabili e accessibili, sostenere la lunga opera di divulgazione che Raffaella Milandri – insieme ad altri autori come Francesco Spagna e il poeta Lance Henson - porta avanti con molte pubblicazioni e con un impegno coerente sui diritti umani e sulla decolonizzazione dello sguardo.

Where should I start? Absolute newb with a kit
I've never tried my own home brew before and I've been sitting on two kits for years now (got them sitting the pandemic but never found the time) and I wanted to try to start something
The original juice and hops are probably toast by now so I'll have to purchase some new, but I've got two of those jugs and the other bits that come with them.
I also have a small orchard in my back yard and wanted to try to use the thousands of plums in get every year to make some kind of lambic ale.

Pro-Israel group gets £7m from UK government to 'identify' antisemitism
The British government is giving a £7m ($9.33m) funding package to a pro-Israel organisation to deliver antisemitism training in universities.
The Union of Jewish students (UJS) has links with the World Zionist Organisation, which funds illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Under the scheme, the UJS will offer some 600 training sessions to university staff over the coming weeks to help them "identify harassment and hate" and facilitate "open, respectful debate", the Department for Education (DfE) said on Sunday.
Most British universities refer to the IHRA's definition of antisemitism, which has been slammed by opponents as an attempt to impose censorship on valid criticisms of Israel.

Saleh al-Jafarawi, the Doghmush clan, and the illusion of ceasefire
Saleh al-Jafarawi was abducted and executed by members of the Doghmush clan—an anti-Hamas faction within Gaza. He was not killed in battle, but in a context of internal militias acting under external influence.
This stark fact deserves to be front and center, because it exposes a quiet architecture of violence that functions even in moments when a ‘ceasefire’ supposedly holds. This is the occupation’s most insidious form, a war fought not through tanks or jets but through collaborators and chaos, ensuring that Gaza never truly rests. In this architecture of endless war, ceasefires are illusions, fragile pauses that conceal the unbroken machinery of control, where Israel’s hand remains unseen but ever present, orchestrating violence even in silence.
The idea of a ceasefire is deeply compromised in this model. Even when shelling or open military operations between Israel and Hamas pause, the war continues in shadow. Militia violence, kidnappings, assassinations: these are not paused by ceasefire agreements. The killing of al-Jafarawi during a period when hostilities at the border were reduced shows that ceasefire does not guarantee safety. It merely shifts some forms of warfare from open battlefields to intra-Palestinian rivalries and clandestine operations. This makes peace an illusion for many civilians, who cannot distinguish between external assaults and internal betrayals.
This is not a failure of policy but its intended outcome. Israel has long understood that total military victory in Gaza is unattainable; they have seen countless defeats. What is attainable is permanent incoherence. The tactic amounts to a form of entropic warfare: the deliberate creation of chaos to prevent reorganization. Rather than occupying territory directly, Israel governs through collapse. The breakdown of social cohesion performs the same function as a garrison. When Palestinians no longer trust their own institutions or each other, Israel’s strategic goals are met without the need for visible control. The killing of Saleh Al-Jaafrawi illustrates this invisible war.

PM Starmer says UK ready to help in removing Hamas weapons
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his country is ready to assist in monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza.
He offered the UK’s experience in Northern Ireland to help in the decommissioning of Hamas’s military capabilities.
“We stand ready in relation to monitoring the ceasefire and decommissioning Hamas capability and weaponry, and that’s drawing on our experience in Northern Ireland and the IRA [Irish Republican Army], which we dealt with in particular in relation to decommissioning,” he said.

Growing number of US veterans face arrest over ICE raid protests

US military veterans increasingly face arrest and injury amid protests over Donald Trump’s deportation campaign and his push to deploy national guard members to an ever-widening number of American cities.
The Guardian has identified eight instances where military veterans have been prosecuted or sought damages after being detained by federal agents.
The latest incident occurred in Broadview, outside Chicago, where 70-year old air force veteran Dana Briggs was charged with felony assault on a federal officer on 29 September.

DISTURBED's Belgian Show Cancelled Over DAVID DRAIMAN's Photo Signing IDF Missiles
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The mayor of Vorst, Belgium, has officially banned an upcoming Disturbed concert, citing public safety concerns stemming from frontman David Draiman’s outspoken support for the Israeli army – namely that one picture where he's signing missiles that'll kill people shortly thereafter.
Disturbed was scheduled to play Vorst Nationaal on Wednesday, October 15, but the plug has now been pulled following a police order issued by Mayor Charles Spapens (PS) according to De Standaard.

Dude has always been an edgelord in some capacity. He probably thought it would be edgey to sign a bomb, regardless of who made it and who it would kill.
Though, I have zero doubts that David also has some questionable viewpoints on that stuff as well. I'm not aware of any, but I also haven't really heard anything from that band since the late 90s/early 2000s.
Good job getting cancelled buddy. Enjoy obscurity.
Samantha Power secretly colluded with Israel to enhance UN role, leaked emails show
Behind closed doors, the noted ‘humanitarian interventionist’ successfully lobbied for Israel’s inclusion on important UN committees even after the Human Rights Council accused it of targeting civilians in Gaza.
The leaked emails also reveal that Israel furnished Power with a dodgy dossier on Syrian chemical weapons as she pushed regime change in Damascus.
Former US ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power secretly coordinated with a top Israeli diplomat to secure Israel’s access to multiple prestigious UN committees, leaked files show.
Power used her platform at the UN to thunder for military intervention in Syria, frequently exploiting the US-backed opposition’s questionable claims of chemical attacks to make her case. And from almost the moment she entered her position, Israel was feeding her cooked intelligence apparently alleging that Syria held a vast arsenal of WMD’s.

Vance warns 'deeper' cuts ahead for federal workers as shutdown enters 12th day
JD Vance on Sunday said there will be deeper cuts to the federal workforce the longer the government shutdown goes on, adding to the uncertainty facing hundreds of thousands who are already furloughed without pay amid the stubborn stalemate in Congress.
Vance warned that as the federal shutdown entered its 12th day, the new cuts would be “painful,” even as he said the Trump administration worked to ensure that the military is paid this week and some services would be preserved for low-income Americans, including food assistance.
Still, hundreds of thousands of government workers have been furloughed in recent days and, in a court filing on Friday, the Office of Management and Budget said well over 4,000 federal employees would soon be fired in conjunction with the shutdown. The effects of the shutdown also grew Sunday with the Smithsonian announcing its museums, research centers and the National Zoo are temporarily closed going forward for lack of funding.

Il cuore pulsante del capitalismo non batte solo nelle catene di montaggio delle fabbriche o sulle scrivanie degli uffici, ma anche nelle nostre case. Il lavoro domestico e di cura sono il motore di un sistema che ha costruito il proprio dominio sul lavoro invisibile delle donne, appropriandosi del loro tempo, dei loro corpi e delle loro emozioni. Senza salario, senza riconoscimento, senza diritti. Se non quelli “amorevolmente” concessi.
Dopo Oltre la periferia della pelle, Federici torna in Italia, con un’opera fondamentale, finalmente in edizione completa: La rivoluzione al punto zero. In questo libro, sono stati condensati decenni di lotte e analisi su temi che vanno dallo sfruttamento del lavoro riproduttivo, alle conseguenze per le donne del colonialismo, diventando nelle sue varie edizioni un pezzo fondamentale della storia del femminismo e del pensiero radicale contemporanei.
La Rivoluzione al Punto Zero è un’arma teorica per chi vuole comprendere, ma soprattutto trasformare, il presente in cui ci troviamo a lottare. (Dalla pagina di presentazione)
Silvia Federici
Silvia Federici è una saggista di lungo corso, Di impostazione marxista, si è sempre occupata di arricchire la complessità del dibattito anticapitalista dimostrando teoricamente quella che ne è la radice stessa. Lo sfruttamento del lavoro di cura e come questo sia considerato “naturale”. Autrice e docente, da oltre 50 anni attivista nei movimenti femministi (Wages for housework). Nei suoi scritti ha sempre dimostrato come il controllo dei corpi delle donne sia alla base, ancora oggi e anzi oggi forse ancora di più, del sistema di potere capitalista.
La rivoluzione al punto zero
Il libro è una raccolta di testi scritti dall’autrice tra gli anni ’70 e gli anni ’10 del 2000. Personalmente lo ritengo un testo fondamentale che non mi limiterò solo a consigliare ma anche a diffondere. Leggendolo ho potuto riscontrare quanto anche tra i millennial bianchi e di sinistra, siano ancora diffuse convinzioni introiettate dal patriarcato. Il libro ribalta il paradigma secondo cui il lavoro domestico sia da considerarsi “naturale” e riporta al centro del dibattito la necessità di un suo riconoscimento.
Attualità bruciante
Federici analizza e smonta punto per punto tutte le contraddizioni che stanno alla base tra ciò che vogliamo essere e ciò che il sistema e il mercato ci impongono di essere. Esplorando i concetti di maternità, sessualità, riproduzione, migrazione e violenza istituzionale si vedono le radici di queste spinte contraddittorie. Nella nostra quotidianità viviamo sempre più in una tortura psicologica simile allo strappamento medievale. Se all’epoca erano gli arti ad essere tirati in direzioni opposte oggi sono le nostre identità, le emozioni e le volontà e ciò avviene in maniera subdola, costante e impercettibile. Un girone infernale chiamato capitalismo con 8 miliardi di torturati e un torturatore. Uno stile di vita i cui beneficiari sono i produttori di psicofarmaci e di sostanze da dipendenza.
Contro il mito del progresso
Come mi capita spesso di ripetere il capitalismo non potrebbe esistere senza patriarcato, cosi come i fascismi non potrebbero esistere senza capitalismo. Abbattere mattone per mattone il sistema patriarcale significa agire sulle fondamenta di quel millenario controllo dei corpi umani e in particolare dei corpi femminilli (aggiungo io di qualsiasi specie, l’autrice non parla di specismo). In questo modo la cura potrà essere restituita alla comunità e condivisa. Liberata dal dovere e dalle tassonomie di genere. Il capitalismo richiede la distruzione di qualsiasi attività economica non subordinata all’accumulazione e per farlo usa, spesso e volentieri, la guerra. Il libro cita esempi di donne che questo lo hanno compreso e hanno attuato forme di resistenza. Sono raccontati gli esempi delle cucine comuni in Cile e Perù e varie forme di gestione femminile della terra, in ottica anticapitalista, che mi riportano alla mente la poesia di James Connolly; “Vogliamo solo la terra”.
Riflessioni personali
Leggere oggi, nel 2025, di fronte a tutte le lotte sociali necessarie e urgenti non può che spingermi a fare delle considerazioni. Mi sono fermato spesso, durante la lettura, a riflettere su quanto il lavoro di cura (in particolare per sè stessi) e il tempo siano concetti correlati e quanto siano sempre più risicati e rosicati dalla società attuale.
Lavorare per vivere?
Penso a quanto sia sempre più maggiormente e obbligatoriamente delegato il lavoro di cura per i soggetti deboli (bambin*, anzian*, persone con disabilità). Assumere e pagare colf, baby sitter e badanti crea un nuovo soggetto discriminatorio e ovviamente un discriminato. Inoltre il soggetto “curato” diventa spesso un prodotto de-umanizzato. Senza considerare che chi lavora in questi settori finisce per privare se stess* e la propria famiglia dal lavoro di cura o comunque a doverlo fare doppiamente essendo pagat* la metà.
Vivere per lavorare
Tutta la vita è organizzata in maniera funzionale alla società capitalista. Affinchè questo si perpetui è necessario che il lavoro di cura non venga riconosciuto.
“Avere un salario significa far parte di un contratto sociale chiaro: lavori, non perchhè ti piace o perché ti viene naturale, ma perché è l’unica condizione sotto cui ti è permesso vivere”dal libro
Conclusioni
Una lotta che spinga gli Stati a riconoscere il lavoro di cura (come quella portata avanti dal movimento wages for housework) libererebbe da diverse ipocrisie e potrebbe avere effetti reali positivi sulla cultura e la società. Da uomo ritengo che libererebbe gli uomini dall’essere strumento attivo del potere patriarcale.
Guardiamo all’Italia. Quando i genitori lavorano entrambi fuori ed entrambi a casa (con il lavoro di cura condiviso) fanno la scelta più difficile ed economicamente meno conveniente. Per assurdo converrebbe economicamente, anche per via del gender gap, che l’uomo lavori di più e la donna di meno o che non lavori fuori per lavorare full-time (anzi extra time se consideriamo anche il servizio psicologico, sessuale etc. che serve per far accettare al marito i mali palesi del sistema capitalistico).
Inoltre l’impossibilità di curare se stess*, va a beneficio dello stesso capitalismo. Mangiare male e di fretta cibi pronti – spesso pagati più di quanto il rider che li consegna guadagna in un giorno, o serviti velocemente da camerieri sottopagati – è spesso causa problemi di salute.
Ma si sa, per i problemi causati dal capitalismo la soluzione la offre…il capitalismo. Se infatti la sanità pubblica si indebolisce e viene privata di fondi, riconvertiti al militarismo, ecco pronta per curare i mali di una vita che non è vita, una bella assicurazione sanitaria privata.

Dutch government seizes control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia
BRUSSELS — The Dutch government has granted itself the power to intervene in company decisions at Dutch-based Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia.
The highly unusual step, announced late Sunday, grants the country the power to “halt and reverse” company decisions — meaning Nexperia cannot transfer assets or hire executives without Dutch government approval, according to national media.
The move is a significant escalation in relations between the Netherlands and China and could inflame wider trade tensions between Beijing and the European Union, with Europe caught in the middle of a tit-for-tat chips war between the U.S. and China.

Opinion | A new era in abortion services may be over before it ever really began
This past week, Republicans dialed up the anti-abortion pressure campaign on the Trump Food and Drug Administration when virtually every Republican senator signed a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asking the FDA to impose new restrictions on mifepristone, a drug currently used in the majority of abortions nationwide.The senators ask the FDA to suspend further generic approvals, prohibit telehealth access to mifepristone, and immediately stop mifepristone distribution altogether by declaring the drug to be an “imminent hazard” under federal law.
The Trump administration has undertaken a study of mifepristone, which abortion opponents believe will lead to the restoration of pre-2016 restrictions that disallowed telehealth.
Republican senators turn to RFK Jr. to lead the latest attack on abortion access
Republican lawmakers in states like Louisiana, Missouri, Idaho and Texas hope the Supreme Court will decide that the FDA had no authority to approve mifepristone or permit telehealth access to it.Mary Ziegler (MSNBC)
