Happiness is…when you can be present in the moment and have no desire to change anything.

Meloni capisce che deve intervenire subito dopo le parole di Trump (“Al G7 chiedeva foto con me, mi fa pena”) e registra un video sui social in cui risponde al tycoon con parole nettissime: “Certe cose meritano una risposta immediata: le dichiarazioni di Donald Trump sono dichiarazioni totalmente inventate, sono francamente allibita". E spiega: "Non so perché il presidente degli Stati Uniti si comporti così con i propri alleati, non è per il resto la prima volta che accade. Ma una cosa se la deve ricordare: io e l'Italia non imploriamo mai!".

"I managed to fool myself for a long time... But I was walking down the street in Oak Ridge, and I passed a department store with a dress in the window. I thought, 'Arline would like that dress.' And then it just hit me like a rock. I burst out crying in the middle of the sidewalk. I realized that the mind can calculate the path of an atomic blast, but it cannot calculate how to live in a world where the person you love has ceased to exist."

- Richard Feynman, in a private letter to his mother (1947)

You need to be attention-span-maxing.

Watch 3 hour talks. Read books for hours at a time. Watch the entire movie, without taking a break. Stare into space losing yourself in thought and imagination. Do not check your phone. The opposite of brain-rot is the will to focus in a culture which wants to pull you every other way.

The insane abyss hidden beneath Lake Como, Italy 🇮🇹

Out of curiosity 👇

Lake Como, one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the deepest in Italy, holds a mind-blowing secret that most people floating on its glamorous surface with an Aperol Spritz will never fully grasp

The lake’s surface sits at approximately 653 feet (199 m) above sea level

Its maximum water depth reaches about 1,345 to 1,394 feet (410–425 m), with the deepest point located between Argegno and Nesso

Because of this extreme depth, the actual bottom of the lake (the sediment-covered floor) already lies more than 719 feet (~219 m) below sea level

This makes it a classic cryptodepression: the lake bed is literally underwater even relative to the ocean

But here’s where it gets truly fascinating

Beneath the thick layer of sand, silt, and glacial debris that forms the visible lake floor, seismic and geological studies indicate the presence of an ancient buried valley system carved into the bedrock

This structure is interpreted as the result of long-term river erosion, later strongly modified and deepened by repeated glacial advances during the Ice Ages, and possibly influenced by older pre-glacial geological events in the region

Some geophysical reconstructions suggest that the deepest bedrock surface of this buried system may extend to roughly 2,300 feet (~700 m) below sea level in certain sectors, although this is not directly observable and depends on model interpretation

From the calm surface of the lake down to these deepest reconstructed geological levels, the total vertical relief approaches nearly 3,000 feet (~900 m)

In other words, if the lake were hypothetically drained, what would be exposed is a wide, complex glacially carved valley system with thick sediment infill and deeply eroded bedrock, shaped over millions of years

You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice.

You thought it was you. It is not you.

Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse.

Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like.

The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation.

Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first.

What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland.

Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved.

They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data.

The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment."

The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible.

This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis.

The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world.

Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

A Gaudí siempre le preguntaban cuando acabarían lss obras, y el siempre respondía que su cliente no tiene prisa.

Para Antoni Gaudí, que murió tal día como hoy, hace 100 años, ingresado en un hospicio porque lo tomaron por un mendigo tras ser atropellado por un tranvía, habría sido un sueño saber que el Papa, los Reyes de España, el presidente del Gobierno y de la Generalitat, el alcalde de Barcelona y una larga lista de autoridades estarían, un siglo después, rindiéndole homenaje y mirando al cielo para ver cómo se iluminaba la torre de la iglesia más alta del mundo.

La epopeya de la Sagrada Familia, 144 años en construcción, y que aún no ha acabado, ha tenido uno de sus días para la historia con la solemne ceremonia religiosa que ha culminado con la bendición del Papa a la Torre de Jesucristo.

Otro momento que hará que la imagen de Barcelona dé la vuelta mundo, con 9.000 personas dentro del templo y 130.000 en el exterior

Y lo de los drones eso ya no se como expresarlo, mejor verlo.

Protests in Albania are exploding for a seventh straight day like nothing before.

Thousands of Albanians are refusing to surrender their land to Jared Kushner’s elite private island wish.

They are also demanding the immediate removal of their prime minister for colluding with Jared Kushner and Israel.

Durante los Juicios de Núremberg, Hermann Göring concedió una entrevista al psicólogo Gustave Gilbert y dijo:
«Por supuesto que la gente no quiere la guerra. ¿Por qué querría un pobre agricultor arriesgar su vida en una guerra cuando lo mejor que puede esperar es volver a su granja de una pieza?
Naturalmente, la gente no quiere la guerra. Nadie quiere la guerra en Rusia, Inglaterra, Estados Unidos, ni siquiera en Alemania. Eso es evidente.
Pero, al final, son los líderes de un país quienes determinan la política. Y siempre es sencillo arrastrar al pueblo, ya sea en una democracia, un Estado comunista, un parlamento o una dictadura fascista.»
Gilbert objetó:
«Pero hay una diferencia en una democracia: el pueblo tiene voz a través de sus representantes elegidos.»
A lo que Göring respondió:
«Eso está muy bien, pero, tenga o no tenga voz el pueblo, siempre puede ser llevado a obedecer a los líderes. Eso es fácil. Todo lo que hay que hacer es decirles que están siendo atacados y denunciar a los pacifistas por falta de patriotismo y por exponer al país al peligro. Funciona igual en cualquier país.»

A young woman carefully outlines her lover’s shadow on the castle wall before he departs to join the Crusades, hoping to preserve a final image of him before he leaves for war.

The Shadow (1909) was painted by Frederic Leighton, one of the most celebrated artists of the Victorian era.

The painting shows a young woman carefully tracing the silhouette of her lover’s shadow onto a wall before he departs. The scene draws on the ancient Greek legend of the Corinthian maiden, a story long regarded as the mythical origin of drawing. In the original tale, a young woman outlines her lover’s shadow by lamplight on the eve of his departure for war, creating an image she can keep after he is gone.

Leighton reimagined the story in the age of the Crusades, replacing the classical Greek setting with a medieval castle. The lover stands outside as the woman records his outline, preserving a final trace of him before he leaves.

Beyond its romantic narrative, the painting can also be seen as a meditation on the purpose of art itself. The woman is creating an image to hold onto someone she cannot keep, transforming a fleeting moment into something lasting. In this way, Leighton presents drawing as an act of defiance against time, separation, and mortality, giving the scene a beauty that is both tender and quietly heartbreaking.

La cadena española Meliá dejará de operar 15 hoteles en Cuba por las sanciones de EEUU a la empresa estatal "Gaviota SA", ligada a la compañía GAESA de los militares cubanos, que es la que controla el turismo en la isla y es la dueña legal de esos hoteles.
Hay otros 20 que esperan una decisión de la empresa para seguir operando.
La mayoría de estos hoteles ya estaban cerrados desde hace meses por la crisis energética, la falta de combustible y el desplome del del 56% en la llegada de visitantes en los primeros meses de 2026.
Meliá operaba en Cuba desde 1990.
Se suma a Iberostar que cerró 12 hoteles y a los 62 de la canadienese Blue Diamond, que también se retiró recientemente.
El turismo aporta históricamente entre el 10 % y el 12% del PBI cubano.
