"Under the KMT and TPP coalition, the Legislative Yuan has turned into a political assembly line rushing to churn out products. Today, they rush to vote; tomorrow, they seize control of the narrative. Public opinion is reduced to decoration, and the procedure becomes mere installation art. With a legislative majority comes arbitrariness — they do whatever they please."

[Fresco di Stampa] - Hit parade di lacrime - Suzuki Izumi
Una donna senza nome, intrappolata in un matrimonio infelice, riceve poteri magici da una misteriosa entità: ora può trasformare il marito infedele e alcolizzato in tutto ciò che vuole. Delle studentesse annoiate rendono l’omicidio di un viscido uomo d’affari che cerca di approfittarsi di loro un rituale segreto dalle conseguenze devastanti. Una banda di pirati spaziali, alla ricerca di fauna esotica in un pianeta inesplorato, scopre un misterioso bambino abbandonato. In un’altra storia, Emma, a seguito di una relazione disturbante con un alieno che la spinge oltre i propri limiti, finisce in un istituto psichiatrico.
In tutto ciò che ha scritto Suzuki Izumi ha indagato un futuro distopico che ancora oggi ci colpisce con la ferocia della sua lungimiranza creativa, mentre i suoi racconti si dispiegano e si avverano sotto i nostri occhi.
Giorgia Sallusti - Nella terra dei ciliegi
L’opera narrativa di Suzuki continua a parlare al nostro presente, con la sua figura autoriale, il suo femminismo irriducibile a ogni schema e il coraggio con cui si è esposta al proprio tempo lasciandosene divorare ma anche cogliendone quasi profeticamente le coordinate più occulte e le trame più oscene.

vero il costo dei volumi Add è forse un po' alto ma, purtroppo, mi sembra in linea con tutto il resto in questo periodo, almeno dalle miei parti 😢
Non so quante possano essere le spese di un piccolo editore tra traduzione, illustrazione, marketing, stampa, distribuzione ecc... ma penso faccia più fatica rispetto a gruppi editoriali più grandi.
Comunque sì, la collana Asia è davvero ben fatta 😍

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem Baseballspiel. Im Vordergrund steht ein Batter in einem schwarzen Trikot mit einem Helm und einem Baseballschläger bereit, um zu schlagen. Der Catcher, in einem roten Trikot und mit voller Ausrüstung, hockt hinter dem Home Plate und bereitet sich auf den Wurf des Pitchers vor. Der Pitcher, ebenfalls in einem roten Trikot, wirft den Ball vom Pitcher-Mound aus. Der Umpire, in einem schwarzen Trikot, steht hinter dem Catcher und beobachtet die Situation. Im Hintergrund ist ein elektronisches Scoreboard zu sehen, das die Punktzahlen der beiden Mannschaften anzeigt: "GÄSTE" haben 6 Punkte, "HEIM" haben 8 Punkte. Die Anzeige zeigt auch die aktuellen Spielzahlen: 1 Ball, 2 Strikes und 1 Out. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einem grünen Rasenfeld mit Bäumen und einem Zaun.

The image features two individuals on a stage, bathed in a blue hue, suggesting a concert or performance setting. The person on the left is dressed in a dark suit and tie, while the person on the right is wearing a light-colored shirt. Both individuals appear to be engaged in a performance, with the person on the right holding a microphone stand. The background is dimly lit, with stage equipment visible, enhancing the concert atmosphere. Overlaid on the image is bold, green text that reads "FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE MAULER TWINS," with a dripping effect on the letters, adding a dynamic visual element. The text is centrally positioned, drawing attention to the event being highlighted.

Sorpresa, indurre all’astensione è un reato
Scegliere di non andare a votare è forse discutibile, ma legittimo, invitare all’astensione no: è un reato. Questa la bombetta sganciata ieri da Michele Ainis con un articolo scritto per Repubblica. A quanto pare, pure se non lo sa nessuno, lo dice il testo unico delle leggi elettorali in vigore dal 1948, all’articolo 98: chiunque ricopra una carica pubblica e cerchi di “costringere” o anche solo “indurre” all’astensione è punito con la reclusione, da sei mesi a tre anni. Con un riferimento diretto, all’articolo 51, a “voti o astensioni di voto relativamente ai referendum”.

The initiative "Ban on conversion practices in the European Union" made both.

Firmato l’accordo con cui Olivetti cede la Divisione Elettronica a General Electric.
La cessione segnerà l’uscita della Olivetti dal campo dei medi e grandi calcolatori.
Resterà però attiva nella progettazione e produzione di terminali e piccoli sistemi, grazie anche all’iniziativa dell’ingegner Pier Giorgio Perotto, che dal 1962 lavorava a una piccola macchina di elaborazione dati, la Programma 101.

Mexican Navy training ship hits New York's Brooklyn Bridge
New York (AFP) – A Mexican Navy training ship slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday, snapping all three of its masts as it collided with the iconic New York City landmark, injuring at least 22 people.Onlookers enjoying the balmy spring evening watched in horror as the ship, its sails furled and festive lights draped in its rigging, tried to pass beneath the bridge, which sheared off the masts and sent them crashing into the East River.
The Mexican Navy said in a statement that 22 people on board the training ship were injured, three of them critically.
Some US media reports suggested that sailors had been in the rigging as the ship slammed into the bridge. The Navy said in its statement that no one had fallen into the water, and that no rescue operation had been launched.
Victims were rushed to local hospitals, The New York Post reported.
According to multiple US media reports, around 200 people were on the Cuauhtemoc, a barque built in 1982 which had a mast height of 48.2 meters (158 feet), at the time.
The Cuauhtemoc had been on a training maneouver at the time and was damaged in the "mishap," the Mexican Navy said in a separate statement on X.
"The Ministry of the Navy reaffirms its commitment to the safety of its personnel, transparency in its operations and excellence in the training of future officers of the Mexican Navy," it said.

It turns out that to plan a garden, you have to think in 4D: not just how much space the plants take up and how tall they'll get, but how they'll grow over time. And it's not so straightforward because they affect each others' growth: plants in the shade of other plants will grow differently than if they're in the sun, etc. Vining plants can crowd out and stifle other plants. And some plants improve soil quality around themselves, so they can boost the growth of their neighbors.
Ultimately you're making a home for a bunch of living beings who don't move by getting up and walking, but by creating more of their own bodies in the direction of the resources they need.
Maybe I've been sitting in the forest too long, but gardening remains fascinating to me.
