Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

COME SI CONCENTRA ELKANN LA MATTINA E ALTRE NOTIZIE FONDAMENTALI DALL’ILLUSTRATO FIAT.

Ed ecco a voi le pagine uno e due de La Stampa. Sul conflitto in #Libano? Ma quando mai. Una strepitosa raccolta di perle di saggezza di John #Elkann. Roba grossa “proprio qualche giorno fa leggevo di quanto sia importante rimanere focalizzati quando si ha un ruolo di leadership”; ma anche “ho imparato che quando si attraversano momenti di cambiamento è davvero importante rimanere concentrati”.
Urca! Livello Baci Perugina. E mentre la crisi #Stellantis è normalmente sepolta a pagina 10, nello stesso giornale troverete pomposi pezzi contro la lottizzazione della #Rai da parte dei fascisti e la difesa della libertà di stampa.
Onore ai giornalisti di #Repubblica che hanno scioperato per evitare questo spettacolo indecoroso di self promotion del loro editore. Almeno questo. Noi continuiamo ad aspettare una risposta di Elkann alla convocazione in Parlamento per parlare non di come ci si concentra la mattina, ma come si distrugge un settore industriale.

Happy 20th Birthday OpenStreetMap!

"OpenStreetMap has grown exponentially or quadratically over the last twenty years depending on the metric you’re interested in . . . The story isn’t so much about the data and technology, and it never was. It’s the people. " --@stevec, reflecting on 20 years of OSM

Kamala addresses the fact that some people don’t like her laugh. The message is quite beautiful.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

Per 5 anni, dal 1967 al 1972, ci sono stati solo loro a dettare legge sui palchi.
Adesso tutti si ricordano e celebrano solo Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbat ...
nonostante capolavori come: Proud Mary, Have you ever seen the rain?, Long As I Can See The Light, Hey Tonight, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Molina, Pagan Baby, Hey Tonight ...
