Money quote: "Situated right next to the longest runway at JFK—and outfitted with a full covered bar serving up food and cocktails and a turquoise infinity pool should you need to cool off—you couldn’t find a better planespotting vantage point than the rooftop at the TWA Hotel. And given the building’s history, it’s no surprise. In 1962, Finnish architect Eero Saarinen designed what was then Trans World Airlines’ main terminal or “head house,” now serving as the hotel’s entrance, in a style befitting a time when flying captivated the world. He envisioned the terminal’s exterior, with its swoopy silhouette and large windows overlooking the runways, as not only practical, but an effort to “interpret the sensation of flying,” and “express the drama and specialness and excitement of travel,” according to Eero Saarinen: an Architecture of Multiplicity."

Non so se viviamo nel migliore dei mondi possibili (dal punto di vista dello sviluppo socio-tecnologico sì, senza dubbio). Sicuramente però viviamo nel mondo più strano e singolare. Come questa storia delle scimmie delle nevi giapponesi che sono state portate, tra tutti i posti del mondo, in Texas. Chissà perché, mi sono chiesto prima di leggere questa storia. Ovviamente, c'è un perché. Strano, ma c'è.
Money quote: "Her name was Pelka. She was ten years old and recently had a baby. I was at La Moca reporting on a story for the Daily Texan about the first-ever roundup of a troop of macaques that had been transplanted in 1972 from their sanctuary in the snowy, pine-shaded peaks of Stormy Mountain (Arashiyama in Japanese), outside of Kyoto, to the most unlikely of places: this sun-strobed ranch near Laredo. Pelka and I were surrounded by volunteers with laps full of sleepy monkeys. A couple dozen of the 176 resident macaques had been captured and tranquilized so that researchers could examine, inoculate, and tattoo them. We were keeping our charges safe until they had recovered enough to be released back into the electric-fenced, 108-acre enclosure, where the rest of the troop roamed freely."

Sono un appassionato di storie di truffe e truffatori. Appena l'ho visto, non ho potuto resistere all'inchiesta di Rachel Browne sull'artista delle truffe Patrice Runner. Da adolescente di Montréal, Runner era innamorato dei testi provocatori degli annunci di vendita per corrispondenza, soprattutto di quelli che assomigliavano a biglietti scritti a mano. Immaginate di essere così persuasivi sulla carta stampata da farvi spedire per posta i numeri vincenti della lotteria e i segreti della fortuna e della ricchezza. Nel corso degli anni, oltre un milione di canadesi ha ceduto al fascino di Runner, facendogli guadagnare 200 milioni di dollari. E poi?
Money quote: "In early 2022, I wrote a letter to Runner in prison, asking if he would consider being interviewed. While the so-called Maria Duval letter scheme had attracted extensive media coverage, Runner had never spoken to a reporter. “I got your letter yesterday evening. First I was surprised and then moved by it,” Runner said to me over the phone from a detention centre in Brooklyn, New York. “I was intrigued by the fact that it was handwritten. Was it done on purpose to intrigue me? Because it’s unusual today to receive, especially from a professional, a letter that’s handwritten with no letterhead. . . . You’re a good copywriter.” Over the following year, I interviewed Runner dozens of times—in person at the prison, via email, and over the phone—in the lead-up to his trial.
Runner told me that while he always tested the limits of business, he never crossed a legal line. “Maybe it’s not moral, maybe it’s bullshit,” he once said. “But it doesn’t mean it’s fraud.”"

A quanto pare il ondo della tecnologia consumer non finisce mai di stupire. In alcuni modelli di Chromebook prodotti da Dell si può abilitare la "modalità sviluppatore" che consente di installare Linux. Ma bisogna prima rimuovere una vite dalla scheda madre! In futuro si prevede che sarà necessario scrivere solo con la mano sinistra.

Quando si conclude un progetto, possono affiorare sentimenti di perdita, disperazione, tristezza o vuoto. Questo articolo aiuta a comprendere meglio il lutto creativo e capire perché e come si verifica. È anche una buona lezione su come funzionano le nostre emozioni.
Money quote: "Partiamo quindi dall'inizio, o meglio, dalla fine di un progetto, per scoprire cosa sta succedendo. La psicologa Natasha Frome suggerisce che ci sono molte ragioni per cui una persona può provare sentimenti di lutto creativo, ma nella maggior parte dei casi si tratta di un senso di perdita. Spiega: "Il lutto, nella nostra concezione tradizionale del termine, è la reazione fisica e mentale alla perdita di qualcosa o di qualcuno. In relazione a un progetto creativo, può essere una perdita di identità o di scopo quando si è investita molta energia in un progetto o in un lavoro. Una volta che è sparito dalla vostra vita o è uscito nel mondo, ne avete perso il controllo. Avete perso la connessione con una parte di voi stessi e forse con un gruppo più ampio di persone con cui avete lavorato. Questo senso di perdita può lasciare una sensazione di vuoto nella propria vita"".

There's a way to get healthier without even going to a gym. It's called NEAT
All those daily activities we'd rather avoid — taking the stairs, cleaning the house, etc. — have a big metabolic payoff. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis can help manage weight and boost health.

Si vede praticamente tutto, quindi come farci mancare anche questa? Una lista di libri da leggere se avete voglia di piangere
Money quote: ”I’ve curated this reading list because I want to unpack our cultural and personal attitudes toward crying. Do our tears mean less if they’re free-flowing? How valuable are the movies and books that move us to tears? From where do we develop our attitudes about crying? How do our cultural upbringings, race, gender, and sexuality factor into our individual and collective relationships with emotional expression? What does it mean to cry in communion with others? Can tears be understood through a lens of rebellion and power?”

C’è una Influencer che sta mettendo sottosopra l’idea che correre faccia bene e sia fighissimo. Quella simpatica ossessione che fa fare la maratona a migliaia e migliaia di persone e ha costruito persino il successo di emittenti radiofoniche (vedi Linus per Radio DeeJay) in realtà andrebbe un attimo ripensata.
Money quote: ”Since Erin began chronicling her adventures on social media, she’s done as much for the world of running as some record-setting athletes. She deploys goofy antics and self-deprecating humor to reveal hard truths about the sport: that it isn’t always pretty, that you don’t have to do it perfectly for it to matter, and that it can, as she says, fricken hurt. And she’s found success by challenging the notion that the only reason to run is to run faster and better. These views, like Erin herself, are out of place in the highly polished veneer of most social media sports accounts, but clearly strike a chord, which is why she now has nearly a million followers on TikTok alone.”

Spiazzante e anche un po’ ”problema da primo mondo”, se non fosse che dietro c’è un tipo di sofferenza che è difficile non ridicolizzare. Vale una lettura capire perché il New Yorker si interroga sui motivi per cui bisogna punire Barbie.
Money quote: ”At my prep school in Los Angeles, popular girls were _everywhere_, spritzing themselves with the Gap perfume called Heaven and presumably all gathering at the same Beverly Hills mansion to snort coke, get waxed, and act aloof around the same boys who only ever spoke to me if they were asking to borrow my TI-82 graphing calculator. It only got worse when I became friendly with two of these popular girls--we ran cross-country together--and found them wickedly funny, and (worse) genuinely _nice_. It all seemed like a cosmic clerical error, a lopsided allocation of assets. The story that was helping me survive my own adolescence--that the popular girls were hopelessly vapid and morally bankrupt--had collapsed; now I had a more robust vision of their superiority, validated and verified, to wear like a hair shirt. Turns out that Barbie was just the first name I gave to the lifelong project of punishing myself with the imagined perfection of others.”

Il business di quelli che fanno libri finti, cioè solo le spine da mostrare bellamente allienate sugli scaffali. Perché c’è un business anche per quello.
Money quote: ”During the pandemic lockdown in 2020, remote work created increased demand for the company’s services. ”People were requesting books for Zoom meetings,” Mr. Roberts said. ”They wanted classic literature, cookbooks or other things for their backgrounds, kind of like props but also to reflect their personality and tastes. People wanted to avoid getting made fun of for having a romance novel in their background.”
While it mostly specializes in the sale of real books, the company has also dabbled in the world of faux ones. The book seller has cut books -- so only the spines remain -- and glued them to shelves for cruise ships, ”where they don’t want to have a lot of weight or worry that the books will fall off the shelves if the weather gets bad,” Mr. Roberts said.”
