Basically, a writer, but also much more: an astrophysicist, a comic book lover, a cat lady :P, a very curious person :).

Before Warsaw, we have another occasion to meet :). This Sunday I will attend La Fonte Vienna Festival. My event is at 4 p.m. at the Odeon Theater. See you there!

Big news ahead! I will attend Targi Fantastyki in Warsaw! I will be there on Saturday the 26th and in Sunday. Hope to see you there!!

Clearly they are Italian.

Monte Cavo on a Sunday morning: the lakes, sacred places, the marks we left behind while living.

The odds of an impact from the asteroid 2024 YR4 just went up a teeny bit. That's expected, but the good news is we're getting JWST observations of it in a few weeks! That'll help nail down its size and maybe help with an impact prediction. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/jwst-to-ob... 🧪🔭

That time of the year they call me prof and I teach Jonathan Stroud’s books :P.

Same place, same picture, 20 yrs later. Munich is still holds a special place in my heart 🖤💛

Sad to report I just lost my job at nuclear, after 40 years of faithful service overseeing the US nuclear arsenal. My job was keeping all the nukes from exploding by pressing the don't explode button every 48 hours.

Last bits of München.

Yesterday we went to a Destroy Boys gig here in Munich. The place was amazing, the support act - Girlband! - fantastic, and the people, oh, the people… I felt like I finally belong, among punks, goths, antifascist, queers people. This is my people, the place where you will always find me.

The most tragic thing with humankind is that in the end we are nothing, but we behave like we are everything. (This is one of the lakes near my house, and they are dying because of anthropic activities).

Grazie mille agli insegnanti e ai bambini della Scuola Elementare Rosa Di Feo, che non solo mi hanno fatto un sacco di belle domande, ma pure un regalo e, mentre parlavo, mi hanno ritratta :).

My last DIYproject: Ginzan Onsen by Anavrin. A bit frustrating to assemble but really beautiful when completed.

Which one is the less traveled by? 🤔

Ho fatto un altro video sull’asteroide 2024 YR4, in cui spiego perché è normale e non necessariamente preoccupante che la probabilità di impatto possa aumentare :). www.instagram.com/reel/DFxmDhl...

Stasera sarò ospite di Splendida Cornice; vi parlerò di fantasy e appropriazione indebita 👀

Tempo fa un erudito post del FT sosteneva più o meno questa teoria: gli Stati Uniti falliscono nel contrastare una deriva autoritaria perché, a differenza della vecchia Europa, non avendo mai avuto la malattia non ne hanno sviluppato gli anticorpi istituzionali. 1/3

Articolo bellissimo sul quel lavoro un po' eroico che è scrivere letteratura popolare. www.ilpost.it/2025/01/30/c...

Always looking for occasions to use my pseudo-japanese umbrella :P.

Yesterday evening, out with a friend :).

At down.

This was one of the reasons I got out of organized skepticism. I wanted to focus more on the positive. Debunking has its place (I have some in Tuesday's newsletter!) but I didn't want it to remain my main focus.

Castelli Romani, the Shire.

I've never seen a subsun until now! wow 🤯 so beautiful !!

I have this theory: democracy is like vaccines, it pays its own success. People under 45 never saw what dictatorship means, and barely know someone who did. Then, they cannot understand what living without freedoms means.

Qualcuna la stiamo già ripristinando.

Finally finished. Too frustrating for me , I prefer DIY sets that require to joint pieces and not glue them, but in the end it is quite beautiful :). Next challenge: assembling a huge onsen that really scares me 👀.
