Una parola, anzi una comic strip definitiva sul voto elettronico (e sulla Regione Lombardia, che in Italia spinge da matti per questa pratica irreale). Ovviamente XKCD.

Una strana storia che coinvolge Vice e una youtuber cinese. Il punto di vista della youtuber.

Money quote: "When the Vice reporter came in January 2018, I showed them around Shenzhen for three days. During this visit, I brought the reporter to my home, long enough for the reporter to get an in-depth idea of my circumstances. In my home, I worked on an automated bartender project I had built for a friends bar- to address with the best possible evidence the ongoing Internet smear campaign against me that only a White man could do work like mine. All this was apparently not juicy enough for Vice. Frankly, it’s very rare I get accused of not being click-baity enough just being myself."

Volere meno, avere meno, vivere meglio.

Money quote: "I’ve noticed — after doing quite a bit of emotional reparation and resilience training since — that money did, in fact, play a marginal role in changing me. It made me kinder, more optimistic, more generous, more understanding, more compassionate and more even-keeled. I treat my parents like old friends. I give back to my community. I gently support political candidates I agree with. I share long, luxurious meals with people I adore. and don’t blink when the tab comes.

Minor inconveniences — flat tires, parking tickets, Buffalo Bills losses to the New England Patriots — no longer enrage me. Drifters no longer scare me. I don’t live and die from day to day. That’s what “enough” money can do for you — should you let it. It’s a light, yet powerful, feeling. It’s one I want to hold onto a while."

Incontrare Vladimir Putin faccia a faccia. Il racconto del primo incontro con Barack Obama neopresidente, fatto dall'ambasciatore Usa a Mosca dell'epoca

Money quote: "As I remember it, Putin spoke uninterrupted for nearly the entire time scheduled for the meeting, documenting the injustices of the Bush administration. This was a guy with a chip on his shoulder. Obama listened patiently, maybe too patiently. I was amazed. There was no way I could have sat for a full hour without saying something. I was also nervous. The meeting was scheduled for sixty minutes, and by minute fifty-five the U.S. president had not said a thing. It was my assignment to read out this meeting to our press corps later that day. I couldn’t tell them that Obama had merely listened the entire time!"

Il più grande exposé della storia: ecco a voi il sistema di riciclaggio (e non solo) della Russia rivelato e spiegato da OCCRP

Money quote: "The main purpose of the system we’ve named the Troika Laundromat was to channel billions of dollars out of Russia. But it was much more than a money laundering system: The Laundromat allowed Russian oligarchs and politicians to secretly acquire shares in state-owned companies, to buy real estate both in Russia and abroad, to purchase luxury yachts, to hire music superstars for private parties, to pay medical bills, and much more.

To protect themselves, the wealthy people behind this system used the identities of poor people as unwitting signatories in the secretive offshore companies that ran the system.

Read on below for the details."

In tempi di fake news bisogna andare oltre il vero e il falso. Salvini e Trump l’hanno capito da tempo. Anche se a lungo abbiamo pensato il contrario. I soliti filosofi di sinistra...

Money quote: “As Avicenna, the father of Medieval Aristotelianism, declared:

Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned.”
