"È giunto il momento di riflettere. La natura sta scomparendo. Bisogna andare lontano dalla città per trovare il silenzio, per respirare il profumo delle piante che crescono liberamente o per ascoltare il sussurro di un ruscello." (Aurore Dupin, alias George Sand - 1872, Le Temps) #Letteratura

letsbook.org"TORMENTA" DI RUSSELL BANKS – Recensione • Let's BookLa recensione del libro "Tormenta" di Russell Banks, pubblicato nel 2026 da Einaudi nella traduzione di Massimo Birattari

22 Sept

In “Tormenta”, romanzo di Russell Banks (Einaudi, trad. di Massimo Birattari), il clima del Vermont riflette il dramma interiore di un protagonista che finisce sempre per mettersi nei guai. Un titolo ideale per una storia imperniata sull'analisi introspettiva. #lettorinonsinasce

Guerra in Iran, rapporto al Congresso Usa su perdite e scorte ridotte

l.euronews.comGuerra in Iran, rapporto al Congresso Usa su perdite e scorte ridotteIl presidente Trump continua a minimizzare queste preoccupazioni, sostenendo che gli Stati Uniti dispongono di scorte "praticamente illimitate". Il Pentagono fa invece la conta dei danni a mezzi e basi e presenta il conto, oltre a denunciare i livelli rischiosi delle scorte militari

6 Aug

L’approccio di Alberto Angela è così immersivo da rendere la lettura di “Cesare”, il suo ultimo libro pubblicato da Mondadori, un’occasione di incontro reale nonostante i millenni che ci dividono dall’epoca in cui il grande condottiero romano visse. #lettorinonsinasce #libri

🧵 Quanto ci costerà davvero la crisi climatica in Italia? Uno studio accademico, passato quasi inosservato sui media, quantifica per la prima volta i danni al 2050: fino a 52 miliardi nel turismo, 30 nell'agricoltura e un debito pubblico che rischia di superare il 200% del PIL. Impatti devastanti

Our #PictureOfTheWeek features Cold War codebreaking specialists. This group of highly skilled Black women were recruited as cryptologists to decipher intercepted Soviet messages. Their role in Cold War intelligence operations has been largely overlooked, until now. 📸: NSA

Dear @paizo.com team, I am writing to you as a long-time supporter and customer. I have been following and buying your products since the very first edition of Pathfinder, and I own effectively the complete collection of manuals translated into Italian,

But my choice as a consumer is the only leverage I have, and I have decided to use it: as of today, I am suspending my purchases of your manuals. I am well aware that there are thousands of people who, like me, supported Paizo precisely in the name of those values.

And I am certain I am not the only one who feels this way. I am writing because I care about this hobby and I have cared about you. I sincerely hope that you will reconsider, or that you will find an arrangement that preserves what made Paizo different. Kind regards, Simone Grosso

Many of the new players of these recent years chose you for this. A decision that strikes a free resource, run by unpaid volunteers, one that for years has served as the main entry point for new players — "the rules are free" is often the first thing we say when introducing the game to a friend

— risks eroding exactly that trust. It risks placing you, in the eyes of many, on the very same level from which you had distinguished yourselves. I understand that my individual purchases will not move a balance sheet.

It was with regret that I read the news of the end of your partnership with Archives of Nethys. I understand that licensing decisions involve management costs and intellectual property considerations, and I do not question your right. I would like, however, to respectfully express my dissent.

When Wizards of the Coast attempted to revise the OGL, thousands of players around the world moved to Pathfinder precisely because Paizo had positioned itself as a bulwark: the opposite model, the company that put the community before short-term value extraction.

for both the 1st and 2nd editions — every rulebook, every bestiary, every translated adventure path, and every sourcebook. At current retail prices, that is an investment well over €2,000. I am writing to you, therefore, as someone who has invested years and a far from negligible sum in your work.

In “Io sono Adele”, secondo romanzo sulla vita della “Governante” anch’esso pubblicato da Marsilio, Csaba dalla Zorza racconta passato e presente di un personaggio che è improntato a un femminismo sfaccettato seppur rivesta un ruolo spesso collocato ai suoi antipodi. #lettorinonsinasce

Mia figlia ha 8 anni. Due anni fa ho cominciato a spiegarle perché il #25aprile è festa nazionale. Oggi, quando in casa ho fatto partire "Bella ciao", le ho chiesto perché avremmo festeggiato. Mi ha risposto "festeggiamo la #liberazione dal fascismo". Non bisogna dimenticare, ma tramandare.

Nobel Prize candidate. • Last year struck Iranian nuclear sites. • Threatened to annex #Greenland. • Invaded #Venezuela and kidnapped its president. • Tightened a crushing embargo on #Cuba. • Now #Iran is bombed again while negotiations still alive. #Trump the peacemaker. #Peace through bombing.

In recent months the domestic policy of #Trump has taken on increasingly aggressive tones: repeated attacks on federal courts and the principles of #RuleOfLaw, pressure on non-aligned states, growing hostility toward the #FreePress, and threats to universities through the leverage of federal funding

17 Feb

In this climate, the increasingly frequent use of administrative subpoenas to obtain data and identities of anonymous users who criticize #ICE on social media is deeply concerning.

17 Feb

The risk is an intimidating effect on those exercising a fundamental right: dissent, the very core of #Democracy. How long will democratic checks and balances continue to hold?

After more than two years of systematic destruction, tens of thousands of civilians killed in #Gaza, cities devastated, and an entire population deprived of homes, medical care, and safety, it is no longer possible to speak of “complexity” to avoid naming reality.

Israel has crossed every limit set by #InternationalLaw and by the fundamental principle of #ProtectCivilians. Even more serious is the political responsibility of the governments that continue to support, justify, or arm this course, in Europe as well as in the United States.

Defending #HumanRights in words while denying them in practice is complicity. For this reason, I stand in support of Francesca Albanese, whose calls for accountability and protection of civilians deserve attention, not dismissal.

Layoffs at The Washington Post have been explained by economic factors: heavy losses, declining readership, and a transforming media market. This alone can justify even a severe restructuring.

"Lizzie's a terrific reporter who's done great work in a very difficult situation for us, and I'm incredibly grateful to her and in awe of her courage and her talent. I don't blame her for being upset. That's a natural reaction, and it's understandable," Matt Murray on firing a reporter in Ukraine.

Within this context stands the case of Lizzie Johnson, dismissed while still in Ukraine. For over a year she had been working in critical material conditions, with limited resources and in a high-risk operational environment.

She deserves full solidarity. The hope is that she will soon be able to leave the war zone and find a new professional position.

However, in recent years the paper has gradually softened its direct confrontation with Trump, while Bezos’ interests extend far beyond publishing. There is no proof of a causal link, but the timing has raised questions even within the newsroom.

Hi guys! I'm back on #DnD and #TTRPG. I’ve just finished rewriting the opening hook for Forgotten Relics, #Eberron: Rising from the Last War. I felt the original intro was particularly weak, so I restructured it to give it more narrative weight, clearer motivations and a stronger sense of momentum.

The new version leans loosely on Murder on the Orient Express, to give it a more pronounced noir tone. The result is a 12-page PDF in Italian. Happy to share it if anyone’s interested in taking a look or using it at their table.

The firing of Joseph Tirrell isn’t just a technical dismissal—it’s the removal of an ethical safeguard. The DOJ loses an impartial voice and hands oversight to political appointees.
