Ti voglio bene, amico.
Avevo appena finito di dire “Santa Barbara di oggi”, ma vedo che sul portale di Rivista Studio la rubrica appare troncata a 2/3: trattandosi oggi di un giorno di vacanza, non credo l’errore verrà aggiustato prima di (X). Ecco il testo originale, tutto intero.

OH HAI LADIES, you may want to skip Rome. →
feathers:
I trust you on this one - I’ve never lived in Rome. I always thought of it as a quite tolerant city (safety in numbers and all that). Sadly, it seems I was mistaken.
As strange as it may sound, Italian provincial cities may be a bit faster on the uptake - I’ve been living in a small town for the past year, and no one bothers me - except for the occasional “OH HAI,...

Italian MP Paola Concia and Her Partner Harassed... →
feathers:
Concia said that of all the many passers-by on the via Campo Marzio near the Italian parliament, only one woman and a conservative politician, Antonino Lo Presti, came to her and her partner’s defence. Some people even took the ‘homophobic’ man’s side, she said, adding that it was not the first time she had been publicly insulted.
It should perhaps be noted that Rome is the...

feathers:
When Jonathan Williams and James Bull went on their first date together, it is doubtful their hopes for the night involved ending up on the front page of a national newspaper (see Guardian), appearing on national radio (see Radio 5Live) and becoming social networking heroes (Twitter, Facebook).
After enjoying a meal in Covent Garden, the couple had headed for the John Snow pub in...

E’ arrivata la prima puntata di Santa Barbara, dove si butta sul tavolo la Questione della Cultura e dell’Identità, una settimana alla volta.

WatchPatton Oswalt on the dearth of rock music within liberal talk radio.
“When did conservatives steal rock’n’roll from us? When did that happen? Bill O’Reilly will play the White Stripes; then you turn over to NPR, their break music is a sad, lonely saxophone, echoing through a sewer pipe somewhere.”

This exists. →
And I just finished writing an essay on such a topic, which besides me uttering the occasional “we have to go deeper” * meant spending a lot of time reading journals of psychiatry.
I like working. Yes, I do like my work.
Also, Batman.
( * consider it a byproduct of that vague, yet persistent feeling of one not quite being up to a task of her own choosing.)

E come si dice in questi casi, "buona lettura".
Da oggi trovate in edicola “E - il mensile di Emergency”.
Dentro, se volete, ci potete trovare una mia rubrica.
Si chiama Decoder, e ogni mese andrà a guardare quali frame narrativi vengono sovrapposti a un fatto di cronaca nel momento in cui qualcuno decide di farlo diventare una notizia.
Il nome l’ha scelto il condirettore Gianni Mura, l’idea l’ho avuta io.

”[…] Initially, it seemed absolutely ludicrous to me that audience members were complaining about how Sheen’s show was a nonsensical fiasco. It’s like they enthusiastically bought a boarding pass for a guaranteed train wreck and were disappointed when it actually crashed. But on the other hand, such a reaction should’ve been totally predictable. These people ...
