And now for something completely different.
How much interest in or attachment to -- if any -- do you have to the Californian past?
A lot of Texans are fascinated by Texan history, even if a common 'Remember the Alamo!" understanding of Texan history passes over ugly truths about slavery, segregation, relations with Mexico and Hispanic Americans, ethnic cleansing of Indians, racial violence, environmental horrors...
In this fascination with state history, Texas resembles other southern states. Yet the distinctive history of the Texas Revolution and Republic lends that past a special interest.
California has a very distinctive past, and those interested in US history will often take an interest in the history of California in a way they do not with, for example , Pennsylvania.
But what about Californians who are not specialists in Californian or US history? How interested in the Californian past are you/they?
The image depicts a historical scene of Yerba Buena, which is present-day San Francisco, on July 9, 1846. In the foreground, a large American flag is being raised on a flagpole in a plaza, with a group of soldiers in blue uniforms standing in formation nearby. The background shows a coastal landscape with hills and a body of water, where several ships are anchored, including a large sailing ship with multiple masts. Smaller boats are visible on the water, and a few buildings are scattered around the area. The text at the bottom of the image reads: "A View of YERBA BUENA (San Francisco). On July 9, 1846, Capt. Montgomery of the Sloop of War Portsmouth, raised the American Flag in the Plaza and seized the Region for the United States." The artist's signature, "Bartle Hall," is visible in the bottom right corner.

Good news! Environmental engineers are making progress in a new method to clean up PCBs, a dangerous ‘forever chemical’ that lingers in the water, using bacteria attached to biochar made from corn kernels.
The USA #economy has so far avoided a recession, despite earlier warnings. Reasons why include continued robust consumer spending and the #AI #bubble.
But, and you knew I'd have a 'but' right? But, we are approaching a point where several of these factors could collapse close to each other:
1. Farming: Immigration restrictions affecting labor availability and tariff wars cutting off entire markets; it comes to a head with the fall harvests
[contd]#economics
2. Consumer spending: Consumer debt is at an all-time high and price increases from tariffs are finally happening as importers and US manufacturers dependent on imported materials can no longer absorb the extra costs; the spending boom *might* last through Christmas, but it is unsustainable
3. For the first time in more than 80 years the USA is losing its edge as an arms exporter; recent moves by the Administration have caused our biggest customers to start looking elsewhere
[contd]
4. The AI bubble might not pop soon; and if it doesn't the knock on effects from continued AI investment on the economy include:
4.a People out of work as the bosses buy into the AI hype and lay off their workers – this craters consumer spending and increases social costs
4.b Capital that otherwise might flow into other industries is captured by AI, reducing opportunities for creating more resilient businesses
4.c Rapid increases in energy costs
[contd]

Il triplice tentato omicidio è avvenuto a Betzdorf, paesino di circa 10mila abitan ti nella Renania, vicino al Belgio. L'aggressione è avvenuta in casa dell' ex moglie. L'uomo, armato di coltello, avrebbe colpito prima la donna, 61enne, poi il figlio di 41 anni. Entrambi sono in gravi condizioni. Ferita lievemente anche la nipote di 14 anni.

2. Cesium-137 contamination event with origins in Indonesia, with unclear how large the contamination is. (scrap metal/shipping containers/shrimp/spices... so far... the detections are only happening when that stuff makes it to the US, where we have screening for radioactive stuff at ports).
3. EPSTEIN FILES, DID WE FORGET ABOUT THOSE?!

IL NEMICO UTILE: LA CO-EVOLUZIONE TRA HAMAS E NETANYAHU (1987–2023)
di Lavinia Marchetti
Da maggio di quest’anno ho deciso di colmare una lacuna personale: capire davvero i rapporti politici ed economici tra Netanyahu e Hamas. Si sente spesso dire “Netanyahu ha finanziato Hamas”, “è colluso con Hamas”, ma quasi nessuno sa spiegare come, quando e perché. Io stessa non lo sapevo, prima di studiare bene la faccenda, che andava ricostruita fin dall'inizio ricostruendo documenti, dichiarazioni, cronologie, inchieste e molti libri che affrontavano la questione. Il risultato è questo articolo, che prova a raccontare in modo storico e documentato la co-evoluzione tra il leader israeliano e il movimento islamista: due avversari solo in apparenza, che in realtà hanno trovato un equilibrio di potere reciproco, utile a entrambi.
potete scaricarlo qui (è lungo, lo so, sono 30 pagine): academia.edu/144170171/IL_NEMI…
Il testo ricostruisce le tappe decisive: dal sostegno israeliano alla nascita di Hamas negli anni Ottanta come contrappeso a Fatah, ai flussi finanziari indiretti che ne hanno garantito la sopravvivenza, fino alla politica calcolata di Netanyahu che ha permesso a Hamas di rafforzarsi a Gaza. Mostro come questa dinamica abbia avuto una funzione precisa: alimentare la divisione palestinese, congelare ogni trattativa di pace e presentare Hamas come il “nemico assoluto” necessario a legittimare repressione, occupazione e guerre ricorrenti. È una vicenda che riguarda vent’anni di politica mediorientale e che rivela una strategia di potere costruita sul sangue: il “nemico utile” come strumento di governo. Una strategia che ha distrutto ogni prospettiva di pace, consolidato il dominio di Netanyahu e condannato i palestinesi a un destino di assedio e massacri.
In questa dinamica rientrano anche i flussi di denaro del Qatar, transitati con il consenso di Israele e presentati come aiuti umanitari ma in realtà funzionali a garantire la sopravvivenza di Hamas a Gaza. Questi fondi hanno rafforzato l’organizzazione, legittimandola come interlocutore e mantenendo vivo quel “nemico utile” necessario al calcolo politico di Netanyahu.
Il 7 ottobre, come quasi tutti sanno, non è stato un imprevisto. È stato l’esito prevedibile di una strategia cinica: costruire il proprio potere politico e militare lasciando crescere il “nemico utile”, per poi usare il suo attacco come detonatore di una nuova fase di annientamento e conquista.

PGA silent after Ryder Cup MC leads foul-mouthed chants abusing Rory McIlroy
Extra security given but requests for decorum booed
‘Just give us the respect to let us hit shots,’ McIlroy says
The European team were expecting abuse from the people paying to attend this Ryder Cup, but not from the people the Ryder Cup are paying to entertain them while they are here. In a dismal start to what turned into one of the most rancorous day’s play in the history of the competition, the female master of ceremonies employed to inject some life into the crowd at the 1st tee was recorded using a megaphone to lead a chant of “Fuck you Rory!” before Saturday morning’s foursomes. The PGA of America, which is organising the tournament, was approached for comment but remained oddly silent.
The incident set the tone for everything that happened after. The words became a recurring chant, and by the end of the day the atmosphere around his fourball with Shane Lowry against Justin Thomas and Cameron Young had become so foul that the PGA of America had brought in a squad of state police to try to restore order.
Either way, the crowd were picking on the wrong man. McIlroy won his foursomes 3&2, and his fourball 2 up, by the time he had walked off 18 at the end of the day he had won as many points on his own as the entire US team had between them.
Sporting eh? America just What has tRump done to you?
