Quel mistero buffo del pelo pubico. Cioé: cos’è e a cosa serve? E soprattutto, toglierlo fa male?

Money quote: “It’s that last part that’s key — removing pubic hair can cause abrasions, irritation, and even infection, but it’s the removal itself that does it, says Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB/GYN and author of the upcoming book ‘The Vagina Bible’. “There are a lot of studies that talk about the trauma of pubic hair removal,” she says. “We see burns from hot wax, we see injuries from razors, abscesses, things like that. There definitely are a fair number of visits to the emergency department every year, and also to the gynecologist’s office, related to the actual injuries from pubic hair removal.” But again — it’s not being without pubic hair that’s risky, but the removal itself.”

Dietro le quinte del business e della tecnologia ci sono dei tecnici di alto livello che pochi conoscono ma che in realtà sono fondamentali. Sono i generali degli eserciti che fanno vincere una ideologia rispetto all'altra, una posizione rispetto all'altra. Alla fine, sono le creature che possono fare la differenza, a prescindere che uno abbia "torto" o "ragione" (ammesso che tali concetti esistano nel mondo del business). Una di questi, forse la più brava, è una donna ch lavora per Goldman Sachs.

Money quote: "Nearly 20 years into her career at Goldman Sachs, Kiely, the global head of semiconductor and automotive banking, has helped buy and sell multibillion-dollar companies, watched deals crumble over international trade wars, and fought on behalf of semiconductor giants like Qualcomm, Micron, and Nvidia.

She's one of the most high-powered women in investment banking and the semiconductor industry, both known for having largely male C-suites and executive boards. And she happens to be well liked among the companies that hire her."

Questa intervista al New Yorker di Haruki Murakami sta diventando talmente importante che non voglio aspettare domenica per lasciarvela come lettura lunga del fine settimana. Casomai mettetela da parte
Voi, se non avete tempo. È importante però. Se non altro perché si scopre che l’uomo ha fatto il dj all radio e che scrive quando vuole lui cosa vuole lui quanto vuole lui. Altro che blocco dello scrittore.

Money quote: “A subtle stylist and a self-willed Everyman, Murakami is a master of both suspense and sociology, his language a deceptively simple screen with a mystery hidden behind it. In his fiction, he has written about phantom sheep, about spirits meeting up in a netherworld, about little people who emerge from a painting, but, beneath the evocative, often dreamlike imagery, his work is most often a study of missed connections, of both the comedy and the tragedy triggered by our failures to understand one another.”

Sul perché dovremmo rileggere (o leggere per la prima volta) Leopardi. Oggi ancora più attuale di sempre.

Money quote: “Trained all his life to pursue knowledge, Leopardi’s simple intuition was that, once found, knowledge did not help you to live. On the contrary, it brought despair. And once learned, it could not be unlearned. His enormous contribution, in the 18 years that remained to him, would be to explore this modern, godless state of mind in all its ramifications and implications, to reflect on how it had come about, and to look for strategies on how to live with it. In an age when so many people, particularly young people, are at a loss to give life meaning and direction, Leopardi is essential reading. ‘No one,’ Schopenhauer would observe, had handled the theme of life as ‘tragic farce’ so ‘thoroughly and exhaustively’ as Leopardi. Yet he did so ‘in such a multiplicity of forms and applications, with such wealth of imagery, that he never wearies us, but, on the contrary, is throughout entertaining and exciting’.”
