There are dates that mark a before and after in history: October 12, 1492, with Columbus's mistaken course; July 14, 1789, with the storming of the Bastille; February 13, 1919, when Charles Strite patented the automatic toaster. Then there's September 9, 1956. That evening, the world didn't see governments fall: it simply saw bourgeois decorum crumble...
The most beautiful words I've heard these days were spoken by an actor disguised as a comedian, with the face of someone about to tell a joke and instead gracefully stabbing you in the chest: "No one laughs in a foreign language. No one cries in a foreign language. Parents worry…
There comes a point, in every self-respecting project, when you stop asking yourself "Can I do this?" and start asking yourself "Why haven't I done this yet?" For Il RickyVerso, that moment came with a simple question: why should a blog about experimentation, AI, music, and technology settle for just being... a website? From today, Il RickyVerso is also a Progressive Web...
Yesterday, while I was in a customer's waiting room, my eye fell on a small painting hanging on the wall, with the unmistakable image of Albert Einstein and his tongue sticking out. I leaned closer to read the text around the photo: "We can't expect things to change if we keep doing the same things…
There are nights when sleep slips into a steady stream, and others when the mind decides to rev up before the alarm even dares to ring. It all began on Tuesday evening, in the most banal and domestic setting imaginable. I had just put the bike away, and it was time to get into…
A thought aloud, amid drones in Leipzig, repurposed metal sheets, and the forgotten wisdom of Herodotus. I suspect—and I'm sure I'm not alone—that someone is subtly pushing Europe toward war, shaping it into a script already written but never spoken aloud. No paranoia from…
But when is the vote? ...What?... We still don't know? Oh, we don't even know what electoral law it will be? So why does it feel like we're in the midst of a feverish election campaign? Aside from the party spokespeople, who scare me to death when they appear on the news—with that fixed, expressionless gaze,...
It's all Pascal's fault. It's all Pascal's fault. And it's a fundamentally sensible quote of his, though probably expressed under the influence of some substance: "The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing about." From then on, entire generations have brandished this maxim as a universal pass to turn off the brain...
There was a country party in Arcella, a neighborhood in Padua known for something completely different, and there was a broomstick dressed as a metalhead who didn't know he was so close to one of the few artistic certainties he would carry with him for the rest of his life. I'll get to that later. Let's start with the facts: Dolly Parton left us on…
Remember the scene in The Matrix where Neo, after taking the red pill, finds himself in a pod full of tubes and it turns out that humans are nothing more than fuel and a source of energy for the machines? Science fiction… And yet, in part, it's already like that, and we don't even realize it…
