The image features a pie chart with a title at the top that reads "REASONS I BUY THINGS:". The chart is divided into two sections. The larger section, colored in a peach or light orange shade, occupies the majority of the pie and is labeled "IT'S ON SALE." The smaller section, colored in a light teal or mint green, represents a smaller portion of the pie and is labeled "NEED IT." The background of the image is plain white, and the text is in a simple, handwritten-style font. The overall design is minimalistic and uses a limited color palette.

Nessuna bomba d’acqua a Milano, nubifragio causato da una “squall line”: cos’è e come si forma

@scienza

Il forte maltempo che ha colpito Milano nella giornata di ieri con violenti nubifragi, esondazioni del Seveso, grandine e alberi caduti (uno dei quali ha ucciso una donna a Robecchetro con Induno), è dovuto al passaggio di una “squall line”, una fascia di temporali allineati lungo un fronte freddo proveniente dall'Islanda. Nonostante le forti piogge, però, non c'è stata nessuna “bomba d'acqua”.

From David Graeber's 2013 piece - A practical utopians guide to the coming collapse


Am Montag letzte Woche, dem 30.06.2025, war der 31. Todestag von Halim Dener — er wurde im Alter von 16 Jahren von einem Polizisten in Hannover erschossen, nachdem er Plakate einer PKK :PKK: nahen Organisation am Steintorplatz aufgehangen hat.

Genau hier demonstrierten wir als Linksjugend ['solid] :Linksjugend_Solid: um an alle Opfer von Polizeigewalt zu gedenken und eine Aufarbeitung zu fordern. Bis heute unterstützt die BRD den türkischen Staat, trotz ihrer Unterdrückung der kurdischen Minderheit. Diese Repression unterstützt auch der deutsche Staat wenn er im Namen des Kampfes gegen die PKK zufällige Kurd:innen verhaftet aufgrund von vorgeworfener Nähe.

The video features a woodpecker with a striking red cap and black and white plumage, set against a backdrop of dense green foliage and a fallen log. Initially, the bird is seen foraging among the plants, its head moving as it searches for food. The natural lighting suggests it is daytime, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting a soft glow on the scene. The bird's movements are subtle, with slight shifts in its position and orientation, indicating its active search for food.

As the video progresses, the woodpecker continues its foraging behavior, occasionally pecking at the ground and plants. The background remains consistent, with the greenery and fallen log providing a natural habitat. The bird's head is often raised, possibly scanning its surroundings, and it occasionally turns its head to the side, suggesting alertness to its environment.

Throughout the video, the woodpecker's actions are deliberate and focused, with its movements being slow and methodical. The bird's position changes slightly, with it moving closer to the camera at times, offering a clearer view of its distinctive features. The lighting remains consistent, with the sunlight enhancing the natural colors of the scene.

In the final frames, the woodpecker is seen standing on a fallen log, its head turned slightly, possibly observing its surroundings. The video concludes with the bird maintaining its position, blending into the natural environment, with the dense greenery and fallen log providing a serene backdrop.

Matinée malfatto - Live: Ruen (doom folk punk) + Salivation (death folk) + Flo Spaguetty (stornelli speziati punk)

Domenica 13 luglio, dalle 17:00 alle 00:00, presso SOS Fornace, Rho, via Risorgimento 18

collettivo malfatto & SOS Fornace presentano:

MATINÈE MALFATTO
per piccole e grandi persone

Domenica 13 luglio 2025 - Dalle 17:00
SOS Fornace - Rho - Via Risorgimento 18

--------------------

dalle h. 17:00 APERTURA SPAZI: per tutto il pomeriggio free skateboarding sessions nello skatepark autocostruito Mattoni DIY e spazi di gioco libero e spontaneo per grandi e piccoli: verranno allestite due aree, una con albi illustrati e giochi in scatola e l'altra con materiali per costruire capanne, tane e qualsiasi altra cosa possa immaginare la vostra fantasia!

--------------------

h. 17:30: Presentazione di "Milano Horror Stories. Incubi dalla rigenerazione urbana" (AFA edizioni) con l'autore Hurricane.

La vorace webserie a fumetti di Hurricane sulla Milano della rigenerazione urbana infestata e costantemente predata dai femelici Succhiasuolo - sempre a caccia di cittadini a basso reddito e aree urbane da gentrificare - è diventata un libro autoprodotto da AFA (Autoproduzioni Fichissime Anderground): il volume raccoglie le strisce della serie uscita sui social più materiale inedito e una preseentazione di Lucia Tozzi, giornalista e studiosa di politiche urbane.

--------------------

h. 18:00: Spettacolo di clownerie "Lost In Rock" con A. Vallin, A. Palumbi, S. Locati (Freakclown)

Tutto quello che non andrebbe fatto loro lo fanno, un gioco di ruoli tra incomprensioni, giochi, slapstick portano i tre pseudo musicisti a confrontarsi con le loro debolezze, che mettendosi a nudo davanti al pubblico ci mostrano il loro lato migliore, quello del clown indifeso che abbandona le sue sicurezze per giocare con tutto quello che ha intorno, prima di tutto il pubblico rendendolo partecipe dello spettacolo, e poi ogni pretesto diventa fonte di gioco, e allora gli amplificatori degli strumenti si trasformano in pupazzi, gli strumenti diventano racchette per un improbabile partita a tennis, le bacchette della batteria vengono utilizzate come clave da giocolieri, ma soprattutto veniamo resi partecipi del gioco del clown che si instaura nel terzetto, della sintonia che ci trasmettono questi freak – clown moderni che rifacendosi all’antica arte circense rivisitano questa figura in chiave contemporanea.

--------------------

Dalle 19:30: Musica live

RUEN (Doom Folk Punk)
SALIVATION (Death Folk)
FLO SPAGUETTY (Stornelli speziati)

Ruen e Salivation, due gruppi folk punk con membri provenienti da Portogallo e Olanda, sono in tour europeo per raccogliere fondi a sostegno del Disgraça, centro sociale di Lisbona a rischio sgombero e repressione. Assieme a loro gli stornelli speziati più punk che potete immaginare ad opera di Flo Spaguetty.

--------------------

Per tutta la giornata
Bar e cucina a prezzi popolari
Open air spaces
Giochi per grandi e piccoli
Free skate
Chill areas

--------------------

Come sempre in Fornace:
No fasci + No razzisti + No machi

Pratica autogestione, diffondi autonomia, ama e difendi gli spazi sociali!

#Trump threatens extra 10% #tariffs on #BRICS as leaders meet in Brazil

Trump said the #US will impose an additional 10% #tariff on any countries aligning themselves with the "Anti-American policies" of the BRICS group of developing nations, whose leaders kicked off a summit in Brazil on Sunday.

in reply to Nonilex

With forums such as the #G7 & #G20 groups of major economies hamstrung by divisions & the disruptive "America First" approach of #Trump, #BRICS is presenting itself as a haven for multilateral diplomacy amid violent conflicts & #trade wars.

In a joint statement from the opening of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro released on Sunday afternoon, the group warned the rise in #tariffs threatened global trade, continuing its veiled criticism of Trump's tariff policies.

#Economy #Geopolitics

in reply to Nonilex

Hours later, #Trump warned he would punish countries seeking to join with the grouping.

"Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump posted.

Trump did not clarify or expand on the "Anti-American policies" reference in his post.

Just when I get used to an interface, the UX folks have to justify their existences by changing it. I’m also over 30, so there’s that.
in reply to haskins

@haskins Or perhaps there are genuine reasons for changing it, beyond UI developers "justifying their existences". But that would require actually reading things, such as the Design team meetings and Bugzilla reports, to see the justification for the change. But no, easier to pretend they are just "justifying their existences". Whatever works for you 😉
