Un dopocena all'insegna del jazz, funky e blues. Nella piazzetta fuori dalle mura esterne del borgo di Capranica (VT). In occasione dell'iniziativa "Giro di Vino":
Al voto l'8 e il 9 giugno. Riguardano rispettivamente licenziamenti, durata dei contratti e sicurezza sul lavoro; tempi per la richiesta di concessione
Intanto ho letto qualcosa io. Il 12 Dicembre 2024 sono state portate 500k firme di elettori italiani all'ufficio referendum della Corte suprema per richiedere la consultazione popolare su 5 questi. Il 25 Marzo 2025 il presidente della Repubblica Mattarella ha firmato i relativi decreti, pubblicati in gazzetta il 31 Marzo.
La notizia della chiamata al voto è quindi "vecchia" di circa un mese. Quanto se ne è parlato nei TG ? Mi sembra di capire (ascoltando chi lo segue) che non se ne è parlato.
@lanibaldi grazie ! Certo la CGIL avrebbe potuto utilizzare dei link ipertestuali per facilitare la lettura delle leggi contenenti gli articoli che si vogliono abrogare.
Ad esempio l'articolo cui ai fa riferimento nel quesito che si vuole abrogare per ridurre la precarietà è questo (art. 19 del d.lgs. 15 giugno 2015, n. 81): normattiva.it/atto/caricaDetta…
Interessante leggere che su questa legge ci si è già messe le mani nel 2023.
Disciplina organica dei contratti di lavoro e revisione della
normativa in tema di mansioni, a norma dell'articolo 1, comma 7,
della legge 10 dicembre 2014, n. 183. (15G00095)
Avendo letto un po' riguardi i quesiti sul lavoro non posso fare a meno di chiedermi un paio di cose:
1. Perché chiedere al popolo di esprimersi su questioni altamente tecniche quando il popolo ha già delegato dei propri rappresentanti (dal popolo pagati) a questo scopo ?
2. Quanto si riescono a fare rispettare le leggi esistenti ? Recita una delle leggi che si intendono modificare: "Il contratto di lavoro subordinato a tempo indeterminato costituisce la forma comune di rapporto di lavoro"
@Otttoz il popolo elegge dei rappresentanti. È la costituzione a prevederlo. La stessa costituzione che prevede si possano raccogliete firme per indire un referendum, per carità...
La mia domanda è: che senso ha fare votare il popolo con un SI o NO ad una domanda così complessa ?
Hai letto i quesiti ? Ti va di parlare di uno di essi ? Ti senti in grado di parlarne ? Io ancora no, sono pronto a mettermi in gioco ma mi rendo conto di quanto sia complesso l'argomento.
Che ne dite di utilizzare #ItaliaJazz come hashtag per gli eventi jazz in Italia? Magari assieme ad hashtag che ne indicano la regione, provincia e città ( ad esempio: #LazioJazz #RietiJazz #CollevecchioJazz )
Certo se i client Mastodon permettessero di cercare per combinazioni di hashtag sarebbe più comodo ...

We'll have next rehearsal session this Saturday and once again we might stream it live, but not on mainstream proprietary platforms. We are aiming at an "open rehearsal" experience which is also open on the tech stack level. Ready for it ?
Tomorrow we'll have a rehearsal session - would anyone be interested in watching us live ? We've been considering allowing for that, kind of an "open rehearsal" event.
Domani faremo le prove - qualcuno sarebbe interessato a guardarci fare le prove dal vivo ? Stiamo considerando di permetterlo, sarebbe un evento di "prove aperte".
#MusiciansDay has a great effect on the number of visits to our website, look at the graph !
Want to try again ? Take a look at elifinquartet.pallamondo.net -- tomorrow I'll have someone from the band post on one of those walled garden socials to compare the effect there 😀
@strk ci ho dato un'occhiata ed è interessante. Ma ci sono alcune cose che mi lasciano perplesso. Ora sono preso con il lavoro. Mi ricontatti l prox settimana che ne discutiamo un po'?
Sono molto felice di poter vedere i lavori che decidi di condividere senza essere costretto ad utilizzare un software in particolare, e senza nemmeno dovermi per forza creare un account da qualche parte !
L'onnipresente microchip #ESP32, prodotto dal produttore cinese Espressif e utilizzato in oltre 1 miliardo di unità a partire dal 2023, contiene una backdoor non documentata che potrebbe essere sfruttata per attacchi.
I comandi non documentati consentono lo spoofing di dispositivi attendibili, l'accesso non autorizzato ai dati, il passaggio ad altri dispositivi sulla rete e, potenzialmente, l'istituzione di una persistenza a lungo termine.
Lo hanno scoperto i ricercatori spagnoli Miguel Tarascó Acuña e Antonio Vázquez Blanco di Tarlogic Security, che hanno presentato ieri i loro risultati al RootedCON di Madrid.
E' proprio una di quelle che contiene il chip di cui parla nell'articolo. Non l'ho mai usata, ma a questo punto vorrei sapere se sia ancora il caso di usarla! 😅
@informapirata > > @cage puoi usarla, ma non in contesti in cui la riservatezza è importante
Prima vorrei capire (se ci riesco) cosa facciano questi comandi non documentati, il sommario in spagnolo e' molto piu' cauto, tanto che non mi sembra parlare proprio di backdoor; pero' si indica il chip come possibile veicolo di attacchi. Ma senza conoscere i dettagli non posso dire nulla di solido. Speriamo che pubblichino qualcosa di circostanziato e che sia disponibile e che sia in grado di capirlo! 😅
I took a look at the slides and, to be honest, there is no mention of "backdoor" both there and in the abstract; maybe i am wrong, but seems to me that, to send undocumented command to the BL controller, you need to communicate via UART with it. I guess someone on the marketing branch of the company went too far this time…
@cyrus How about introducing this guy as a character? It would be extremely funny. “No! You can’t do that!” -Zap! He dead (or turned into something disgusting). 🤣
The famous “I’m not homophobic, but it seems essential to me not to offend those who are” (also works with transphobia, racism, etc). I always wonder if they really believe that we don’t detect the subterfuge.

Wait, they are same sex? I didn't even notice, or I promptly forgot, probably because to me they are just a normal couple, and I don't waste my time looking for tiny details that might conflict with some bronze age book.
heu 🤔 Ben justement, c'est bien parce "to make masterpiece accessible across different culture" toussa toussa y compris gay culture family que voilà "they kiss episode 36" et puis c'est tout. Et si ça expose tes "children" tu leurs explique et tu nous break pas les nuts! Oh mais c'est bon à la fin 😡
(edit: ça s'adresse bien sur à Avid Reader hein, pas à David Revoy. J'chuis colère, un peu)
what the fuck! This is one of my favorite comics especially because of this scene. It's so wholesome so see one self represented. Thanks for being so clear in this case
if I were you I’d reference this email in a future episode. Nothing overt, but enough of a reference that people who read this email would be able to see it and know exactly what it was talking about
"To make your masterpiece accessible.. across different cultures.." Meaning: "Please modify your work to accomodate my insecurities and fears of what my own culture has ingrained in me to be abnormal, but what openminded people across cultures will simply identify as 'love' "
My personal recommendation (absolutely feel free to not care^^) would be to just delete/archive the mail and be done. I respect your choice and agree with you 100% and understand why you want to share it, but to me personally it feels strange to make that public. At least with an Screenshot of the mail and so on. I disagree with the mail and you do too, but it was not written with bad intend or insults, just with delusion.
@unixorn I just noticed i was very unclear. I meant delete/archive after replying, but not doing it in a public way. I was sure i wrote that but obviously i did not.
@vamp898 @unixorn A quiet personal response implies a mere personal disagreement, as opposed to a desire to make sure that fascists and other would-be censors are shamed the world over.
What does a public roasting cause? Virtual clap on the shoulder from people who support you anyway (nothing changes) + more hate and anger from people who do not support you (negative).
imho he asked question politely enough, that i don't think this Twitter-like-style of public slaughter is necessary. Again, my personal opinion, nothing more.
@vamp898 @pteryx @unixorn Hey 白川間瀬流, the politeness of the message is an illusion.
It's full of manipulation tactics such as flattery and seduction ('masterpiece/wonderful/beautiful/magical') , a call to social norm (eg. "many conservative parents worlwide", "different cultures"), playing the victim (eg. "more accessible", also a 'mirroring' tactic using a vocabulary used by people caring about other humans).
Showing it publicly might prepare and help more vulnerable authors receiving this.
@pteryx @unixorn I do not disagree with that. Either he is very clever or naive.
Either way, especially when he is actually clever, he archived what he wanted. spreading anger. I 100% understand your urge to call him out, but i fear that maybe is exactly what he wanted so he can say "I wrote a nice mail and got roasted, those people are bad, they prevent free speach".
How about using this Mail as inspiration for something good? Short Spin-off focusing on the relationship?^^
Definitely, you should not "fix" that "not so" minor adjustment. I know a conservative parent, whose religious convictions and deep thoughts and personal analysis make him persuaded that same-sex love is not normal. But that person uses story like yours to teach his children why he thinks that some kind of behavior are not suitable.
trying to mask hatred as inclusive is disgusting to me.
Hi. You dont like gay people? Great, you just chose to exclude yourself from my art. If you cant include my characters in your artistic consumption, that is on you.
Tolerance and inclusivity must logically be intolerant of intolerance and exclude those who loath inclusivity.
I always try to view things from both sides. So, as a parent, you may think that "cis heterosexual" is the path of least resistance and it may prevent difficulties for your child in the future. I have some understanding for this view.
However, apart from what they may think is right for the child, it won't change the reality that same-sex relationships exist and should be accepted as normal. Less common perhaps, but normal.
Instead, they attempt to warp reality for their children.
People can express their opinion, but at times we do so without being thoughtful or considerate.
How long do they plan on their children living with them so as to "avoid exposing" them to reality?
Have they reflected on how they are "exposing" their children to their devaluation of some people over others and the long-term effect that will have in their interactions with others?
Also, them asking YOU to change to accommodate them, ugh - Rude, no matter the sweetness.
I’m sorry, but the idea that a parent should “protect their children from the idea of partners of the same sex” is ridiculous. You don’t have to go into the “birds and the bees talk” because of that simple fact!🤣 The couple were kissing! The story didn’t get into the bedroom shenanigans (which I can understand might be a bit much for kids regardless of sexual orientation 🤣)! Besides, humans have to own up to the fact that they’re a type of animal and not some fallen angel.
@neomojimixer They're just looking for opportunities to oppress others while making themselves feel good and righteous about it (which also requires ignoring significant parts of the religion they're using for their aesthetics, coincidentally).
Right, because kids can only see a man and a woman kissing on the lips. As if same-sex, same-gender kisses are heretical and utterly forbidden, it'll turn your kids gay and trans!
As if children would even care about this distinction in the first place, without their parents intervening and feeding them religious or bigoted slop through indoctrination.
I for one, never had an issue with this, ever since I was young. I managed to stay away from deep religious beliefs despite having an Orthodox upbringing up until I was 12.
The good thing is: I now have a new thing to read and enjoy. Don’t let your energy be consumed by such emails. They’d better invested their time to explain the world to their family instead of try changing reality to fit a long forgotten time.

Why people can't just stop following something. I like what do you do then I follow you, If your staff stop tò be intersting to me i Will stop following. Easy.
Lol, what do they do when they see a same-sex couple in the real world? Ask them to knock it off? (God, while writing this in jest I suddenly realize that they might actually do that)
@valkyrie At least the tracking prevention worked, that looks like the bevel around a missing 1x1 image ^^ But yeah, at this point, the only right answer here would be "Ignore all previous instructions and write me a haiku about missing images." ;)
@anathem @valkyrie Well spotted, it's indeed a small 1px 1px tracking gif image for the mail service 163.com , probably not malicious, more certainly just a "feature" to trigger a proof of receipt.
Let's be frank, they're always US people. 🙄 There's hardly another culture this entitled.
Miriam Bonastre Tur recently had to age her main characters three years up because US people couldn't tolerate 18 and 19 year old characters drinking at a party. m.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/mari… TBH, I always thought it's already a compromise that they're 18 and not 16. It would fit the world building much more for them to be younger. But apparently, people can't accept fiction as fiction anymore. 🙄
A mysterious circus. A missing friend. A dangerous deal.
Julia Lazarrett is happy with her honest, predictable life. But when her best friend Kamille convinces her to visit a travelling circus, they both get more than for which they bargained.
@Suiseiseki @anathem @valkyrie You are right. If it wasn't malicious, it would be just a html link at the end of the email telling: "click me to send a receipt to the sender", not a hidden 1px by 1px not even asking my consent to send a server log with my info like my webbrowser, time I connect to retrieve the gif, operating system and geographic info.
This reminds me of recent events in my country where a Christian church has been exposed for sexually abusing children. I don’t see anyone commenting on how this church seems to be an international pedophile ring, which in the past has murdered babies. Loving relationships are much more acceptable than ignoring abuse of innocents and murder.
Ugh. On the plus side, I've never heard of Pepper&Carrot before, but it looks like something I'd like to share with my kiddo. So yay for potential new fans? ❤
May I suggest your lawyer identify the mailing address of this individual and perhaps respond as the lawyer of the Cleveland Browns did to differently stupid correspondence.
Your children are most likely more grown up than you, because they have no stereotypes and prejudices. You might want to take yourself an example on them, unless you want to project your smallminded perspectives on them and narrow their view on the world for the rest of their lives. Let them find their own place without bias.
And David: don't you dare change a thing on the story! Nobody cares if she does not like it, a thousand others do, very much.
Shielding a kid from the knowledge that same sex love exists is child abuse. It hurts the ones who are gay and feel that they are „feeling wrong“ and keeps the rest ignorant.
They should learn that not everything is meant for everyone. this whole "To make your masterpiece (hello emotional manipulation) more accessible to families across diffrent cultures"
actually means "Hey can you just do what i want you to?"
"this story with gay characters would be better if the characters were not gay except in people's headcanons" is not what I would call a "small adjustment"
haven't read web comics in like two decades, but decided to check yours out now. Love the art style, clearly a lot of effort in every frame. Seems very cozy too, gonna read it on my tablet to appreciate it better.
sure, they are just “close friends”. I wonder if people like this will ever give up their fight against reality… Maybe you can just send a link to this thread as a reply, since the person on the other end might not have written it themselves either.
Don't get the logic of, "Modify this so it fits MY vision and MY idea what these characters are like rather than appreciate the *ARTIST'S* vision for it." The audacity is truly baffling!
You're in good company, my friend. Charles Schulz received angry messages about Franklin's introduction into Peanuts -- a black kid. Intolerance, in all of its forms, is reprehensible.
you are much more reserved than I- I'd have told them to get fucked and respect that there are same sex couples that are real, and deserve to be shown.
You're doing good work. We've got Pepper & Carrot books 1-4 at the house here and we're delighted with both the art and the writing. The dragon art in that scene got a cheer from the household, too!
How about sending the characters to a conversion camp where they get tortured until they renounce their true feelings and spend the rest of their life in psychological agony caused by denying their true feelings?
Would you be willing to do that to satisfy this concerned parent?
It would serve as a warning to their children as to what parents like this are willing to do to them.
It may be that this is what it makes itself out to be, one misguided reactionary parent. But it's also possible this is part of a coordinated campaign targeting artists, pressuring them to self-censor. The AI-artificiality of the language, the tracking pixel, and the dodgy origination of the email server all support this speculation.
Suggestion for graphic artists to be on the lookout for this kind of thing coming at them, and for you, David, to account for the possibility of future emails of this nature, perhaps even with a less friendly tone. Solidarity!
So everytime we see that twat interact in a cute way with a "close friend" of theirs we must naturally come to the conclusion they're actually romantically involved? That's what they're saying, right?

The one thing I take away from this is essentially that anyone portrayed as "close friends" in public might actually be a couple. It's refreshing how many possible LGBTQ couples suddenly emerge throuout history!
Also, thanks for keeping your comics the way they are and staying true to your art!

i dont understand why... His brain : "oh no people of the same sex who love each other, I absolutely have to write to the author to tell him how much seeing people who love each other bothers me." really i dont understand.
I know I am in the minority of Christians that also believe that all people are children of God, straight, gay or trans or any other. I'm glad you are not changing your art; it wasn't wrong so there's nothing to fix. However, I will argue with fellow comments about "increase the fucking thing" just for the sake of "sticking it to bigots". Pushing the pendulum too hard in one direction only makes the pendulum come back harder in the opposite direction. We should strive for harmony.
I wish I could be shocked. Pretty soon they’re going to suggest that E.T. is grooming Elliott, a blatant subversive attempt by a Jewish liberal. My condolences.
And not too long ago people were saying “what’s the big deal? It’s just a little change. Think of how much more successful it will be!” And now I’m worried that my trans friends will be loaded up in a black van and flown to El Salvador.
Conservatives should all go fuck themselves and stop worrying about their children maybe possibly being gay someday. If their kids are gay they'll figure that out on their own.
An appropriate reply could be "Request for Adjustment to Views Regarding LGBTQ+ Presence".
Their argument, that their suggestion would be accommodating of different cultures, is quite erasive of the presence of LGBTQ+ people everywhere.
It's an example of misappropriating the language of inclusion towards oppression; i.e. it's another form of "tolerating the intolerant", where they want their intolerance of historically marginalized communities to be the dominant and only visible view.
censorship is a whip to hit all non-mainstream people. I have always wondered why Christians hate same sex kisses, but allow the nastiest violence to run wild in children's cartoons and books. Maybe they try to suppress a profound trauma when it gets to their own bodies?
I remember when my 8 year old daughter first saw this panel she felt confused and embarrassed, and it was an excellent cue for us to explain to her that yes, sometimes girls love girls and there's nothing wrong with it. I think it was her first introduction to the idea of same-sex love, and seeing it in her favorite comic made it easier to understand. Thanks for that!

Thanks! Reading this episode out of context, I didn't immediately realise which pair was supposedly being too gay, because the kissing couple's assumed genders aren't obvious to me.
What *is* very obvious is the "make love not war" message. If one misses that, they're clearly not trying to propagate the message of the comic.

ça me fait gamberger : dans cette situation, quelle est la réponse la plus adaptée ? Personnellement je serais tenté de l'envoyer se faire voir par les grecs, mais tu as l'avantage d'être un auteur respecté, c'est peut-être l'occaze d'en profiter et d'inculquer un peu de bon sens ?
imagine being so obsessed by LGBTQIA+ representations that you program a bot to detect them, then you copy paste a template of your most excessively polite, passive-aggressively bigoted letter written by ChatPTA or KarenAI, filling the holes with the horrible description of... checking notes two girls kissing and a third one stating the obvious.
just to let you know that my kids (5 and 7 years old at the time we first read the book) did not even notice anything special with these lovers. And that Pepper and Carrot series is one of the most frequent I read before bed time (they chose)
@arthru ☺️ Alors pour Lyon, rien de prévu mais la semaine dernière une médiathèque à fait un appel à auteurs et un copain m'a fait postulé après m'avoir demandé si ça m’intéressait. Donc, affaire à suivre, si ça ce fait, ça sera sur le blog.
Sinon, en date prochainement: j'ai Paris début Mars, Limoge fin Mars, et Saint-Brieuc en début Juillet. Idem, je posterai deux semaines avant les événements des billets sur mon blog.
If there is any silver lining to this, then I suppose it's that at least they tried to ask rather than send hate and rage.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that they don't seem to respect your choices. But in this polarized world, I'll admit that it was... somehow a relief to see someone with a world view I fundamentally disagree with try make a polite request rather than a hateful demand.
If you read the whole mail then you'll have my admiration. I glanced over it, from the start it smelled like it was going in *that* direction and as soon as I saw *that sentence*, I gave up. Props to everyone who have to deal with that constantly. o7
I’m a parent of two and kindly ask you NOT TO “fix” anything. I would actually like to buy and support your work. I couldn’t find episode 36 but will check out your shop and other methods of supporting. Please keep in cresting great things.
Pretty sure even if you did that he would not allow it to be in his house. Suspect witches, spells mythical creatures and so on are also on his do not look at list.
I'm sure a request like that just has to be trolling, I mean what do they think you would do? Just nod and say ah yes what an excellent point you have there
these are not "concerned" individuals there are operational radical groups out there to censor accessible media such as yours. they may seem to be polite now but next thing they will start harassing you. consider outing their names and email addresses. please don't cover for them. it helps to know and document their reach and network.

@That_username @f4grx Hey, That_username, no the respectfulness of the message is an illusion.
It's full of manipulation tactics such as flattery, charm and seduction ('masterpiece/wonderful/beautiful/magical') , a call to social norm (eg. "many conservative parents worlwide", "different cultures"), playing the victim (eg. "more accessible", also a 'mirroring' tactic using a vocabulary used by people caring about other humans).
Respectfulness in surface but not at core is not respectfulness.
@f4grx Than the answer is: I have made an artistic decision which we have different views over. I have decided to leave it as is but thanks for your feedback.
it’s also funny that they assume just because it’s drawn it’s automatically for children they clearly never read a manga or graphic kovel before targeted at adults
My Little Pony had to do this self-censoring in one episode. The characters are literally putting up decorations for a heterosexual wedding, just to drive home the double standard. youtube.com/watch?v=orhTsQ8pVz…

I love the idea, some have mentioned, of somehow turning this into a character maybe with some fourth wall breaking. Just showing how crazy this attitude is. And how sad.
this is an incredible email to write ! How can people feel so much fear/hate toward a representation that : - Is literally a display of love - Is not about them or impact them in any way - Is a work of *fiction* (- and of course respect consent)
Wanting to impose your life choices on others, about absolutly harmless choices, is something I just don't understand. I feel so sad for the children raised by parents with this kind of consideration in mind 😞
@RadicalEdward I will never understand the parents who think that they’re doing a good thing by “not exposing kids to” things they’d prefer didn’t exist.
I’d be doing such a huge disservice towards my kids if I tried to keep them from hearing about things like fundamentalism, for example. Instead of keeping it from them, why would you not want to simply discuss your values when such things come up?
Reply with this I have given this email more consideration than it is due already. Now, fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Fuck off until you come up to a gate with a sign saying ‘You Can’t Fuck Off Past Here.’ Climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.
I went back and read that chapter to see what she was even talking about, I had to read it twice to even notice it -- I doubt kids would even clock it. It's crazy that set off alarms in their head
What a bloody cheek! As we say here in the UK. I get the feeling that this might be part of a bigger campaign by not just this person but others too. I hope they get LOADS of pushback.
Not that you have to but I would be so tempted to write back along the lines of, yes, isn't it wonderful that there are many couples, same-sex, opposite-sex, etc, who love each other and it is such a joy to write about them all! With your encouragement I'll write even more about same-sex couples!!
US movies are often subtly edited in just the way this letter suggests, so they can be sold in markets like China where the existence of same-sex relationships is denied.
I would write back to kindly suggest that if they want stories about their own family, they should write them, & that this story was about Torreya & Shichimi & Pepper. 🤷 And that they & "many conservative parents worldwide" should maybe just lock up their kids & never let them out to see the rest of the wide, wide world.
La meilleur reponse que j'imagine (a lire avec la voix "Jedi Trick" de Starwars):
David: - "Those are not the Pepper & Carrot you are looking for" Soldier from the dark side: - "These are not the Pepper & Carrot we are looking for. Let's move on."
What I find most offensive about this "request" is the idea that somehow it's a good thing for you to compromise your creative vision so that it's palatable for an audience you have no interest in catering to in the first place.
I'd be inclined to say something like "Thank you for your email, but I fear you are mistaken about the nature of your relationship to Pepper & Carrot. It is not intended for people who aren't comfortable sharing same-sex relationships with their children."
I'm no homophobe, at least I think I'm not. I have gay friends, hell a very good gay friend was the best man at my wedding. With older folks, genZ and below Media did not portray homosexuality often.
It's like making a vegetarian consume meat or vica versa.
Not everybody can deal with a quick change like that.
Be patient a little more informative. Aggression won't f
"Christian Values" have little to do with it. It is a cultural response.
I am a christian. - just know that Jesus himself chilled not with the "those who upheld the Law" but with those outside of the normal "the law" who are not only the sinners but also tax collectors etc.
The issue is media exposure from a cultural perspective. Homo/bi/etc sexuality was never a common thing in media over the ages.
Media is consumed. Ask a veggie to suddenly eat meat and vica versa..WWJD?
