There comes that time of year when the air thickens, the asphalt turns into a radiant plate, and half the world's population finds itself evaporating while sitting and staring at a glass of ice-cold water. The official narrative tells us it's the humidity, the African anticyclone, or global warming. Our tolerance for…
There's a specific moment when civilization stops working. It comes when you realize that dialogue is a performance, words bouncing off a rubber wall, and on the other end there's someone smiling because they know perfectly well there's nothing you can do about it. In that moment, anywhere in the world...
(And science proves it, in case you don't trust me) There's a prejudice that's as hard to die as a 200 BPM guitar riff: the idea that those who listen to heavy metal are potentially dangerous, unstable, and worth keeping an eye on. The grandmother who crosses the street when she sees a black Metallica T-shirt. The…
There are moments when technology stops seeming neutral and begins to resemble a mirror. This story was born from there: from digital addiction, from the normalization of war, and from that disturbing silence that comes when you realize how fragile the world we call normal is. ETHER Fingers on the keyboard make less noise...
There's a great, reassuring myth that we adults love to tell ourselves before bed—strictly with our smartphones on the nightstand: "Young people today are lost in a screen; we need to save them from themselves." We lull ourselves into this generational superiority, convinced that our birth certificate automatically awards us the title of "village wise men." The answer of…
There are stories that traditional iconography has plasticized to the point of being unrecognizable. They tell you "Saint Anthony" and your brain automatically serves up a holy card: a white lily, a baby Jesus in his arms, reassuring pastel colors. Composed devotion. Silence. Incense. No. Remove the patina. Scrape away the hypocrisy of institutional narratives. What you find below is not an essay by…
You don't install an artificial intelligence locally like you would any other app. You set the table, shut out the noise of the world, pick up your Mac as if it were a secular altar, and begin the ritual. First you download Ollama, then you open Terminal, then you launch the model with the calm of someone who…
There's something I've come to understand, and it's been hard to understand: truth is one of the simplest things in the world. Yes or No. Black or White. Good or Evil. In its purest form, it is. Binary. Essential. Without margin for error. The problem isn't the truth. The problem is us, and...
Italy just did something typically Italian: instead of building something, it passed a law to approve the decrees that will allow it to begin thinking about building it. It's almost poetic. The Meloni government got the green light from the Chamber of Deputies for the nuclear bill, an enabling bill that—translated from bureaucratic jargon—…
Oh you, little sovereign of the shortcut, who slips into the fast lane as if it were your home, and then slips in at the last second where there is no space, between a trunk and a hood, between patience (of others) and petty infamy (yours), between two people who just want to get home or to work without meeting someone like…
