Protesters could target Basel during the week of the Eurovision Song Contest, as Israel’s participation continues to generate anger amid the war in Gaza.
The city is hosting the 2025 contest, after Switzerland’s Nemo won last May in Sweden with The Code, which explored them coming to terms with their non-binary identity.
About 1,300 Swiss police officers will be on duty in Basel this week.

As Switzerland kicked off Eurovision 2025 on Sunday, May 11, the first time hosting since 1989, protests erupted over the inclusion of "Israel" amid its ongoing war on Gaza.
While artists walked the turquoise carpet, pro-Palestine demonstrators waved Palestine's flag and chanted, “Stop the genocide” and “End the occupation,” while others held banners that read: "Ceasefire now" and "Israel kills children."

12 MAGGIO 1977, L'OMICIDIO DI GIORGIANA MASI
Giorgiana Masi, 18 anni, viene assassinata a Roma da colpi d'arma da fuoco esplosi dalla Polizia a seguito della manifestazione per celebrare il terzo anniversario della vittoria del referendum sul divorzio. Quel giorno il Ministro dell'Interno Cossiga vieta pervicacemente il diritto di manifestare. Tantissime persone, quel pomeriggio, tentano di opporsi al divieto cercando di riconquistare un diritto costituzionale e vengono contrastati con cariche, lacrimogeni e decine di colpi d'arma da fuoco. Alla fine di una delle giornate più nere della storia repubblicana, a Ponte Garibaldi, Giorgiana muore.

@PeterMotte @BradRubenstein It all depends on context. For things like legal documents and science documents, precise definition of the important terms is very important.
Orthography is als helpful, because it makes texts a lot easier to read. It should not be used to ridicule people who make mistakes though.
Same for grammar rules - they should be a language acquisition tool, not a penalizing tool.
Linguistic prescriptivism / normativity only makes sense from a socio-linguistic perspective. I won't get the job I want if I refuse to learn and follow the rules of situationally correct speech & writing. That employer will not care about my thoughts about prescriptivism as he tells me "no thanks".

Finished out my vacation week with a strong push on mugs, and a few bud vases.
I *think* these mugs will be 12-14oz after 14% shrinkage. Large but not massive. I'll also make some 6-8oz versions.
Need to experiment more with different vase dimensions. Stretching the same slightly-coned mug form.

The image features a vibrant green gecko with distinctive red spots on its back and head, perched on a large, glossy green leaf. The gecko's body is elongated, with a textured skin that appears bumpy and scaly. Its head is slightly turned, showcasing a large, round eye with a vertical pupil, and a small red spot near the eye. The gecko's limbs are spread out, with visible toes that have adhesive pads, allowing it to cling to the leaf. The leaf has a smooth, shiny surface with a central vein running down the middle, and there are small debris particles scattered on it. The background is blurred, suggesting a natural, possibly tropical, environment.

Die Schmetterlingsflecken sind hauptsächlich in Grautönen gehalten, mit feinen, dunklen Punkten und Linien, die ein Muster bilden. Die Flügel sind leicht geöffnet, was die Details der Musterung deutlich macht. Die Oberfläche, auf der der Schmetterling sitzt, hat eine Textur, die an eine gestrichene Wand erinnert, mit kleinen, runden Erhebungen und Senkungen, die das Licht variieren lassen.
