"While the destruction of buildings and infrastructure in Gaza is visible in every video we see, less visible is the parallel destruction of ecosystems and means of subsistence. Before the 7 October atrocity that triggered the current assault on Gaza, about 40% of its land was farmed. Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged. That’s roughly 200 hectares – the only remaining area directly available to feed more than 2 million people.
Part of the reason is the systematic destruction of farmland by the Israeli military. Ground troops have demolished greenhouses; bulldozers have toppled orchards, ploughed out crops and crushed the soil; and planes have sprayed herbicides over the fields.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) justify these attacks by claiming that “Hamas often operates from within orchards, fields, and agricultural land.” And apparently from hospitals, schools, universities, industrial estates and any other resources on which the Palestinians depend. All the IDF needs to do in order to rationalise destruction is to suggest that Hamas has operated or might operate from the thing it wants to destroy. And if there’s no evidence – sorry, too late.
The IDF is steadily expanding the “buffer zone” along Gaza’s eastern border, which happens to contain much of the Strip’s agricultural land. As the human rights specialist Hamza Hamouchene points out, rather than “making the desert bloom” – a mainstay of Israeli state propaganda – it is turning fertile and productive land into desert."
Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I've made a little progress with my Snake game, slow partly because I've been ill this week, but got the 2-player mode working, added some customisability to the game and a smattering of power ups / downs. Still a fair amount of bug-fixing to do before I consider a release.

I miti creati dalle Business School di stampo anglosassone – alimentati dai valori della tradizione puritana – hanno oramai esaurito la loro potenza narrativa e la loro efficacia attuativa.

Rime. Raccolta di opere di Isabella Morra, poetessa del XVI secolo che fu vittima di un delitto d'onore ad opera dei fratelli (non ne abbiamo ritratti, l'illustrazione di giovane in abito del xvi secolo è opera di AI). La raccolta, molto apprezzata dal Croce, si può scaricare gratis, in pdf, da:
Dall'incipit del libro:
I fieri assalti di crudel Fortuna
scrivo piangendo, e la mia verde etate;
me che 'n sí vili ed orride contrate
spendo il mio tempo senza loda alcuna.
Hay niveles de maldad que son de puta coña. De villanía caricaturesca de peli de los 80. La gente que ha hecho esto va en limusina fumando puros y una pandilla de chavales con su perro se lo quiere impedir. Es que no se puede ser más basura.

"Bäume. Sie spenden Schatten, senken die Umgebungstemperatur und verbessern so das Mikroklima. Doch sie fehlen, weil Städte versäumen, sie vorzuschreiben – obwohl sie es könnten."
Versiegelte Parkplätze heizen die Städte auf. Bäume könnten dem entgegenwirken. Doch unsere Datenrecherche zeigt: Städte kümmern sich kaum darum – obwohl sie es könnten.
Una notizia di coglie di sorpresa e ti sconvolge. Purtroppo è così. Si piange, tanto, si ricorda e ci si sente dispiaciuti per tante occasioni perse. Ma le leggende e le belle persone saranno sempre tali. Nonostante la debolezza di noi che rimaniamo

"Vielleicht kommt der Tag, an dem das Fernsehen eine Stunde für die Gedanken einer Frau reserviert und nicht für ihr Make-up. Es wird Zeit, dass wir neue Bilder von Kompetenz schaffen. Bilder, auf denen wir ein bisschen verschwitzt aussehen dürfen, weil wir mit dem Fahrrad gekommen sind. Oder ein paar Falten mehr haben, weil es uns lieber ist, gelebt zu haben als gespritzt zu sein." - Hatice Akyün

I don't know what it means, but suddenly there's a proliferation of homespun paper advertising put into my hands and also left on my door, in my mailbox and on the car. It's not even professionally printed and the last one (on very nice sage green paper, conveniently blank on the whole back side for reusing) was about a seminar on my last chance to become an internet influencer. Maybe the economy has ratcheted down a notch?
