per conoscere, per riflettere, per costruire reti

Più emergono particolari, più si fa inquietante il quadro generale. Decine di ditte, subappalti, operai stranieri in nero. Al di là delle cause del disastro, una giungla nella quale i diritti dei lavoratori e la loro sicurezza non sembrano davvero priorità. #Firenze

“The most surprising thing about the disclosure that King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer,” writes Miranda Carter, is “that it’s been disclosed at all.”

Things I wish I’d known sooner about large academic conferences: -You don’t have to attend every session -You don’t have to meet loads of people -Exploring the city you are in is okay to do and not a waste of time -You don’t have to go to all dinners (eating in room is fine)

It turns out that the FDA, the agency that helps set drug expiration dates, has long known the shelf life of some drugs can be extended, sometimes by years. In fact, the federal government has saved a fortune by doing this.

Da più di 25 anni politica e informazione che in Italia si oppongono alle destre lo fanno con le stesse formule e gli stessi toni e gli stessi approcci: è dimostrato che non funzionano, anzi. O è pigrizia o è un deliberato e sterile gioco di ruolo, a cui piace essere minoranza.

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter gives him direct access to tens of millions of brains. He is making a zealous effort to change and control those brains by flooding them with hate and misinformation.

L’ospedale #Nasser è stato bombardato nelle prime ore di questa mattina, nonostante le forze israeliane avessero detto al personale medico e ai pazienti che potevano rimanere nella struttura. L’ordine di evacuazione per migliaia di sfollati era arrivato il 13 febbraio.

No, the biggest threat to the election isn’t AI, nor is it social media. It is humans: Trumpists, insurrectionists, fascists. Technology is a distraction... The biggest online threat to 2024 elections isn’t AI

Sono sul treno che va da Genova a Milano. Lo prendevo da ragazzo, per andare a fare teatro. Era il 1990, ci metteva un’ora e quaranta. Poi siamo andati su Marte. Il treno per Milano da Genova ci mette sempre un’ora e quaranta. Quello del 1990 era anche più bello, il treno.

Fifteen or so years ago when I started a Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism, I, too, thought the problem was business models. I was wrong. It is journalism. That is why I helped start Engagement Journalism. That is why I argue for more radical reinvention still.
