My show _David_ opened in Louisville today. I can barely believe we made it. I've never felt quite so much a part of a group effort as this has been. I'm profoundly grateful to eveyrone who worked with us and helped us in every which way.
"There was a time, and not so long ago, when men spoke not of the Middles Ages but of the Dark Ages. We have learned that their apparent darkness is the darkness of our own understanding. When we contemplate the history of medieval art, and summon up remembrance of what its works were in their day, and see the part played in them by metal gold, we may well wonder whether we should not do wisely to call them not the Middles Ages but the Golden Age."
I'm absolutely BUZZING to announce a new hashtag#podcast that I believe is not just needed—it's going to be very special.
Yes, we may look a bit vintage (just like good radio should), but I promise you the topics will be very present, modern, and futuristic. You can bet on this.
📡 ITSPmagazine Europe: The Transatlantic Broadcast 📡 Where #cybersecurity #technology, and #society meet — across borders and perspectives.
Your Hosts: 🎙️ Marco Ciappelli (Florence/Los Angeles) - Political Science, Sociology of Communication 🎙️ Sean Martin, CISSP (New York City) - Cybersecurity Analysis & Editorial Leadership 🎙️ Rob Black (London) - UK Cyber Citizen 2024, International Relations
Our Pilot Episode: Broadcasting from Los Angeles and UK, Rob and I get the waves up in the air!
The Transatlantic Broadcast is the flagship podcast of ITSPmagazine Europe — a new editorial initiative dedicated to cybersecurity, technology, and society through a distinctly European lens.
Recorded between Florence, London, Los Angeles, NYC and beyond — the show explores the stories, policies, and people shaping digital life across Europe. With our rotating host format and guests from academia, public policy, private sector, and civil society, we highlight European perspectives while drawing occasional comparisons to developments in the U.S. and beyond.
What we're exploring in this pilot: The Birth of a Transatlantic Conversation European Approaches to Digital Transformation The Sociological Lens We're Missing Building Bridges, Not Walls Cross-Border Collaboration for a Global Digital Future
This isn't just another hashtag#tech podcast. We're creating space for European voices to explain their approaches in their own terms—not as responses to American innovation, but as distinct philosophical and practical approaches to technology's role in democratic society.
Enjoy the teaser below and watch the full pilot episode

The thing about being a Door-To-Door used newspaper salesmen is that you learn not many people are interested in paying for yesterdays news, yet they have no problem having their children and grandchildren pay for the things that make the news today, down the road.

A imagem mostra um teto com uma rede de pesca presa ao teto, envolvendo uma lâmpada pendente. A rede parece estar desgastada e amarrada de forma irregular, criando uma forma irregular e desproporcional. A lâmpada, de cor branca, está suspensa no centro da rede, com sua cúpula apontando para baixo. O teto é de cor bege, e a rede é de cor marrom, contrastando com o teto. A rede parece ter sido instalada de forma improvisada, possivelmente para capturar algo ou para fins decorativos.

I admit there is one thing I sometimes use llm's for: generating largely meaningless crap for corporate processes and buereaucracy. Maybe the use of LLMs correlates precisely with the amount of meaningless devoid-of-meaning lifeless crap in our lifes?
Calciomercato, la Carrarese chiude a +17 Tante sono le operazioni in entrata concluse dalla società giallo azzurra: 10 sono contratti pluriennali per una rosa complessiva di 29 giocatori. L’obiettivo dichiarato è avere una formazione in grado di giocare sia con il 3-5-2 che con il 3-4-2-1
Astronomers have discovered a super massive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the well-known Cosmic Horseshoe Einstein Ring system.
Using gravitational lensing effects and stellar kinematics (how an SMBH affects the motion of stars around it) and data on asymmetrically placed lensed images of another distant galaxy, the mass of the SMBH is estimated at 36 billion solar masses, close to a new record. The galaxy itself is estimated at 5.2 trillion solar masses.
The diagram below illustrates the principle of an Einstein ring, formed when light from a distant object en route to an observer is bent by gravitational forces of an intervening object (e.g., a galaxy). This occurs because a massive body bends spacetime, as predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
When the observer and objects are aligned, multiple images of the distant object can be seen in the shape of a ring.
Einstein’s theory of gravity originated from contemplating falling objects, leading to insights about light bending in gravitational fields. Though initially dismissing gravitational lensing …
The following diagram is my guess for why the two images for the other distant galaxy appear asymmetrically placed around the main Einstein Ring in post #1.
The other distant galaxy must be located slightly off-center from the line of sight through the intervening massive galaxy.
To see an Einstein Ring like no other, check out this thread for an amazing image by the venerable NASA Webb Space Telescope. 🤩 fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/11423733… 4/n
This vibrant image by the JWST is one of the most amazing images of an Einstein Ring.
It features an elliptical galaxy named SMACSJ0028.2-7537 (the egg-yolk-like smooth center) surrounded by rings of light from a distant spiral galaxy, whose light has been bent by the gravitational forces of the foreground galaxy. Multiple blue spirals and even stars of the magnified distant galaxy can be seen in infrared "colors."

Countless people are left in harm’s way because of the state’s refusal to make evacuation plans. The hurricane ends up coming through weaker than expected—but then the levees break. Within hours, 80 percent of the city is underwater.
The vector graphics in this video, about a Soviet walking robot from 1980, remind me so much of 1980s vector graphic video games. Scramble (on Vectrex), Battlezone (arcade), etc

Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro is finding real traction in niche enterprise use, like CAE's pilot training, Lowe's kitchen design visualization, and Dassault's engineering workflows.
Chuck because it was so funny and did a great job capturing the San Gabriel Valley vibe of a Best Buy store (called Buy More in the show), which was located in Burbank.
The image features two individuals in a space-themed setting. The person on the left has voluminous, light-colored hair and is wearing a black and maroon uniform with a high collar and a distinctive insignia on the shoulder. The person on the right has short, dark hair and is wearing a similar uniform with a red and black color scheme. Both individuals are adorned with large hoop earrings. The background is a gradient of blue and green, with star-like specks, suggesting a cosmic environment.

Public relations giant Edelman is helping COP30 host-nation Brazil hone its media strategy for this year’s UN climate conference – even though it also works for Shell, one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies. climatechangenews.com/2025/07/…
Shell nelle sue pubbliche dichiarazioni scrive che «il mondo ha bisogno di una strategia bilanciata e ordinata per la transizione dalle fonti fossili» ma dimentica di dire che gli effetti sul clima del suo modello di business sono noti alle aziende petrolifere da cinquant’anni. Come sono ormai accertati i cinici tentativi di disinformazione e negazionismo. Una politica che ha impedito di cominciare a prendere provvedimenti, e quindi al ritardo attuale. Per questo, avere una società che lavora per clienti dell’oil&gas e altri impegnati nella difesa del clima è un controsenso.
