Plant Parenthood
"Just as Instagram makes us feel as if our lives, our bodies, and our friendships are inadequate, so too does it make us feel that we are bad plant parents because our plants aren’t in picture-perfect shape, pristinely arranged around a tasteful side table."[In Italian] - Jovanotti ti vuole far raccogliere monnezza 16 ore di fila per un panino. Insieme alla Coop.

"To really make sure workers aren’t routinely exploited in countries around the world, individual fixes won’t solve the problem. The whole business model needs to change."[Video] - WOKE BRANDS
"Can a product be truly progressive? How can I free my skin? Let's discuss!"[In Italian] - Dentro il gruppo Facebook dove i finanzieri parlano di uccidere Carola, i politici PD e di golpe

"When you explicitly tell an Android app, 'No, you don’t have permission to track my phone,' you probably expect that it won’t have abilities that let it do that. But researchers say that thousands of apps have found ways to cheat Android’s permissions system, phoning home your device’s unique identifier and enough data to potentially reveal your location as well."Yuruchara
"Yuruchara are anime-style cartoon mascots that represent the various prefectures of Japan. Each yuruchara character can be seen on posters, brochures, and websites that treat visitors to a fun and inviting symbol of the area."
that's it for now.
