Un Cane Lupo, ch'era stato messo
de guardia a li cancelli d'una villa,
tutta la notte stava a fa' bubbù.
Perfino se la strada era tranquilla
e nun passava un'anima: lo stesso!
nu' la finiva più!
Una Cagnola d'un villino accosto
je chiese: — Ma perché sveji la gente
e dài l'allarme quanno nun c'è gnente? —
Dice: — Lo faccio pe' nun perde er posto.
Der resto, cara mia,
spesso er nemmico è l'ombra che se crea
pe' conservà un'idea:
nun c'è mica bisogno che ce sia.
Trilussa, Er nemico

Domani Francia e Marocco si giocano un posto in semifinale. I nordafricani sono molto agguerriti, ma certamente anche il Marocco darà il massimo.

🚂 Taormina-Giardini: Il Binario del Tempo
Non è una semplice stazione, è un set cinematografico rimasto intatto dal 1928. Se il Liberty e l'Art Nouveau avessero un passaporto, questa sarebbe la loro residenza estiva.

Un luogo dove l'attesa di un treno diventa letteratura. Non si viaggia solo nello spazio, si viaggia nel tempo.

Artemis II is not just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space.

It’s all about orbital mechanics.
