There is something so profoundly moving about Rembrandt's sketches of a toddler in a bumping cap. A toddler, four hundred years ago, learning to walk and given a protective hat to wear 🥺🥺

Oggi gli Usa hanno compiuto 250 anni. Qual è il romanzo che racconta meglio l'America? Più volte ho scritto qui le mie preferenze: la pentalogia di Bascombe di Ford, la saga di Coniglio di Updike, Infinite Jest di DFWavid Foster Wallace. Mi piacerebbe conoscere il vostro parere.

[Flavia @Elutari]

@angelo_cennamo American Tabloid, il grande Gatsby, Vicolo Cannery, Washington DC, Libertà, i racconti di Flannery O’Connor, The catcher in the rye. Quand���ero piccola Jack London e ovviamente senza Via con il Vento (temo oggi illeggibile) mai sarei andata. Anche a me piace Ford, Updike meno.

Why don't airports have movie theaters?

If my layover is 4 hours, let me watch a movie instead of wandering around the terminal. I'd happily pay for that.

Il capo del CNR sta ostacolando la legge sul suicidio assistito. Andrea Lenzi, presidente del più importante ente pubblico di ricerca in Italia, ha dato al parlamento risposte inverosimili, con gravi conseguenze concrete

Of course a plane full of people who have never read a book has a bookshelf of fake books with titles like “Library”

Ormai sta diventando una liturgia: l’Inghilterra vince e poi tutti a cantare Wonderwall degli Oasis.

Next stop: Stadio Azteca. Brividi.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

A man (Samantha Tempest, here abbreviated to ST) is arguing in court that he belongs in a group for menopausal women. It is pointed out to him that menopause is the cessation of ovulation and that, being a man who never started, let alone ceased, ovulating he does not belong in such a group. He disagrees. He says he's had 'menopausal symptoms' like hot flushes and brain fog. This is like me claiming to have been in the army because I once shot an air rifle and quite like khaki.

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

📕 With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.

Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.

Io fossi nell'opposizione su questo becero ddl caccia e sul rischio di infrazione UE (milioni di euro dei contribuenti per accontentare una lobby ridottissima e soprattutto qualche regione) farei campagne infinite. E le chiamerei 'i favoritismi costano cari, a tutti quanti'
