Gordon Ramsay is bringing Kitchen Nightmares to Missouri, which immediately has Riz reminiscing about the horrifying realization that he once ate at a restaurant featured on the show. Nothing improves a cherished dining memory quite like watching Gordon Ramsay walk through the kitchen afterward and scream about what was living in the refrigerator.Welcome to another funny show from The Rizzuto Show, where we discuss whether Gordon's legendary rage is mostly an act, why “Gordo” is an underrated nickname and then move directly into the intellectual gauntlet known as the Riz Quiz.The rules are simple: 45 seconds of basic trivia, no skips and one wrong answer ends your run. Sounds easy until someone asks you the capital of France and suddenly Paris becomes forbidden knowledge.The callers battle through questions about guacamole, spiders, Pinocchio, sports, traffic lights and geography for concert tickets. We get some legitimately impressive runs — and then poor Bill steps up looking for redemption and immediately says a dried plum is a raisin.Bill, buddy. We love you. It's a prune.Then the crew decides to play along with a tiebreaker question: How tall is the Space Needle?King Scott guesses 465 feet. Moon guesses 615. Rafe goes with 820.And Lern?12,549 feet.For perspective, the actual answer given on the show is 605 feet. Lern has apparently constructed a Space Needle so massive that visitors need oxygen and possibly clearance from air traffic control. She admits she's “measurement blind,” which quickly becomes one of the great understatements in funny show history.That leads us into a completely reasonable discussion about whether anyone on the show could accurately estimate the height of the studio window, followed by the more concerning question of how everyone would escape if they couldn't use the door. Chairs are considered. The soundproof glass is analyzed. Rafe volunteers to Kool-Aid Man himself through the window because apparently being the show hero now includes testing your body against commercial-grade glass.And somehow that brings us to the incredible story of a University of Georgia student who survived an eight-story fall from an apartment window after dancing on a couch. She reportedly landed on a cushioned metal bench and survived with serious injuries, which has the crew marveling at an unbelievably lucky landing — and wondering who decided furniture belonged directly next to floor-to-ceiling windows in the first place.So we've got Gordon Ramsay, Kitchen Nightmares, trivia meltdowns, Paris confusion, raisins pretending to be prunes, a skyscraper-sized Space Needle and Rafe preparing to launch himself through the studio glass.Just another educational funny show from The Rizzuto Show.We're all learning together.

I genitori parlano male dei propri figli: torna a grande richiesta un format attesissimo di Pinocchio.

"I tramezzini di Rocco Schiavone" di Antonio Manzini e "Quanto splende questo nero" di Marco Amerighi Anatomia di Rocco Schiavone, personaggio dei noir di Antonio Manzini molto amato dal pubblico, comparso per la prima volta nel 2013 nel romanzo "Pista nera". Carattere ruvido, incline al pessimismo, ironico e sarcastico, burbero, talvolta anche manesco. Personaggio dolente e scontroso, capace di momenti di grande malinconia. Tutte le sfumature di Rocco Schiavone, l'anatomia appunto in senso figurato, vengono narrate nella raccolta di racconti "I tramezzini di Rocco Schiavone" (Sellerio). Racconti che spaziano dall'infanzia alla giovinezza di Rocco, con gli amici inseparabili Brizio, Furio e Sebastiano, alla sua attività di vicequestore trasferito da Roma ad Aosta. Un modo per conoscere il personaggio a 360 gradi. Ma Antonio Manzini non è solo Rocco Schiavone. A volte si concede qualche pausa dal suo personaggio come nel caso di "Quando Pinocchio non c'era" (Sellario) una raccolta di racconti di scrittrici e scrittori, curata da Manzini: Valeria Parrella narra il Grillo Parlante, Fabio Stassi racconta Geppetto, Maurizio Maggiani ha scelto Lucignolo, mentre Manzini ha tenuto per sè il Gatto e la Volpe. Tutti hanno narrato cosa facevano questi personaggi di Collodi prima di incontrare Pinocchio.Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Quanto splende questo nero" di Marco Amerighi (Bollati Boringhieri). Un romanzo sulle passioni e le ossessioni: quelle di Lorenzo Viani per la pittura e quelle di Enrico Dei proprio per l'arte di Viani. Lorenzo Viani è vissuto a Viareggio a cavallo fra l'Ottocento e il Novecento: famiglia povera, fin da piccolo scarabocchiava con la punta di un legno fuligginoso, impara il mestiere del barbiere, ma l'ossessione per il disegno e la pittura è sempre dentro di lui. Va a vivere fra i senzatetto e i vagabondi, poi va a Parigi. I critici lo definiscono eversivo, irregolare, caotico. Eppure è stato il primo pittore espressionista italiano, sicuramente incompreso. La sua storia si intreccia a distanza di anni con quella di Enrico Dei, oggi ottantenne, che sviluppa per l'opera di Viani una vera e propria ossessione: raccoglie le sue opere, le cataloga, si definisce il suo ultimo testimone. Questa è la storia di due uomini che si incontrano virtualmente a distanza di anni (Viani è morto nel 1936 prima della nascita di Enrico Dei), eppure fra i c'è un'identità forte di pensiero e di emozioni.

This week, Sarah's world's collide as her and MJ are joined by her former co-host, Barry Levitt to talk about 1940's Pinocchio. They run the gamut through the film's astonishing animation, its simple but effective storytelling, and all the subtle and not so sublte ways the film has seeped into the DNA of Spielberg's films over the decades.

Welcome to the new week!  College football’s second week featured a few upsets and some late game rallies (nicely done, University of Texas!).  The NFL’s Week #1 finally got underway with a few surprises.  In golf, America’s best female players were defeated by Team Europe in Sunday’s Solheim Cup final matches. But first… Remember those scrolling football scores at the bottom of your TV screen? That never-ending ribbon of both college and NFL scores seems to have vanished from ESPN’s family of companies beginning this football season. Why? ESPN recently said, “By removing the BottomLine during live action, we’re creating a cleaner presentation that keeps the focus where it belongs – on the field.” Sorry, Pinocchio.  I’m not buying that one. It is my opinion that the sports giant ditched the popular score ribbon so that TV viewers would not be able to easily locate a more compelling game to watch (especially if that other game is being carried on a competitor’s network). My own Saturday night proved that point.  I watched much of the Louisiana Tech vs LSU game from Baton Rouge. LSU emerged from a narrow 10-7 halftime lead to post an easy 45-14 victory as the Tigers’ offense caught fire in the final two quarters. In years gone by, I would have been following the ESPN score ticker along the bottom of my TV screen in search of a more compelling game.  Fortunately for me, I checked in on the Ohio State vs. Texas game at the end of three quarters. The #4 Longhorns trailed by 20 points against #1 Ohio State entering the final quarter.  Texas caught fire offensively to score the game’s final 21 points and take a thrilling 24-23 win on a touchdown with just 25 seconds remaining. What is the real reason that ESPN dropped the on-screen sports ticker? Money, of course. They are trying to get viewers to stay with one football game as long as possible.  The sales teams for the ESPN family of companies has likely heard complaints from its major advertisers – especially those buying ads in the second half of games.  The network’s viewer-friendly sports ticker has accidentally created viewer defections toward more competitive match-ups. Viewers could change to watch a more compelling game being carried by a competitor such as FOX Sports, NBC, or even the CW Network.  If the self-proclaimed sports leader had not received negative feedback from its advertisers, the sports score ticker/ribbon would still be on your screen during football games. The departure of ESPN’s score ticker at the bottom of your television screen will have another desirable effect for ESPN.  Millions of frustrated viewers will visit the ESPN.com website to receive their score updates. ESPN’s website traffic will balloon on game days and, of course, represent a new advertising vehicle. But keep this in mind.  ESPN’s television advertisers may find that fans will become more likely to neglect watching their very pricey ads.  Viewers will now utilize more time during ESPN’s lengthy three-to-four minute commercial breaks to search online for other scores. I turned on ESPN and the SEC Network earlier today (Monday).  I was a bit surprised to find that (gasp!) the bottom line sport ticker was still in use on weekdays! Yes, ESPN is utilizing it primarily to, among other things, promote their own slate of shows and upcoming football games. I’m not falling for the excuse that “It’s cleaner for viewers to enjoy the game experience”. If true, why not remove it from all of your shows during the rest of the week, too? College Football – Week #2’s game of the week Fans of wrestling legend “The Undertaker” could appreciate how the Texas Longhorns came to life after nearly being pronounced dead at the start of the fourth quarter. Austin, Texas reached a scorching 101 degrees on Saturday.  The heat and the pressure finally got to #1 Ohio State late in this game.  Ohio State surrendered a 23-3 fourth quarter lead to give the rejuvenated Horns a 24-23 come from behind victory on Saturday night. Texas was able to exact a little revenge after Ohio State’s 14-7 win last season in Columbus.  Texas (2-0) just replaced the Buckeyes as #1 in the AP’s way-to-early Poll released on Monday.  Ohio State (1-1) dropped to #6. Duck hunting season began in Stillwater Saturday afternoon! As mentioned here last week, the much ballyhooed Oregon Ducks did not look like national title contenders after barely taking down Boise State in Week #1. The Ducks flew eastward to Stillwater, Oklahoma last Saturday and were attacked by swarms of Oklahoma State hunters.  OSU was embarrassed by regional rival Tulsa 24-10 in its first game.  The Cowboys came into Saturday’s match-up with Oregon having lost 21 straight games to FBS (large division) schools. Okie State dominated this game from start to finish. They rolled-up 554 yards of total offense compared to Oregon’s 281. Oklahoma State has a new head coach (Eric Morris from N. Texas) who signed dozens of his former Mean Green players from last year’s 12-2 team to join him. James Madison tied an NCAA record Sun Belt Conference member James Madison trounced Wagner from the FCS 87-3 on Saturday in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  The 84-point win erased Louisiana Tech’s 80-6 win over Northwestern State in Week #1 as the largest rout of the 2026 season. Did you know that the JMU Dukes scored three of its touchdowns on punt returns? Two came via the conventional route as Michael Scott fielded two punts and returned them for scores.  A third punt-related touchdown came after the visiting Seahawks from Staten Island, New York had a punt blocked by JMU.  The loose ball was picked-up by special teamer Michael Halbert who ran it in for a touchdown. This trifecta of touchdowns scored by James Madison off the opposing team’s punts tied an NCAA record. Southern Cal was the last FBS team to accomplish this feat in 2013. The NFL’s Week #1 featured few surprises but… If you are a fan of the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, or Cleveland Browns, it’s time to create an appropriate paper bag to wear while watching your team this fall. They stink – again. A Super Bowl rematch featuring Seattle and New England produced a 13-10 win for the Seahawks as Patriots’ quarterback Drake Maye tossed an ugly interception deep in Seattle territory to end the game. Minnesota Vikings new starting quarterback Kyler Murray went down in the first quarter with a concussion.  The Vikings opted to turn to veteran Carson Wentz and not former first round pick J.J. McCarthy.  This turned out to be a good move as the Vikes reeled-off 22 straight points in the final quarter to down hated rival Green Bay 39-22. Didn’t you expect the Dallas Cowboys’ defense to be a little better this year?  They were 32nd out of 32 teams last year. Alas, the visitors from Texas allowed 29 first downs and nearly 400 yards of total offense as the New York Giants claimed a 28-20 win over the Cowboys. A bigger concern for Dallas fans was the puny 244 yards of total offense generated by its highly paid offense.  The $60 million dink-passing quarterback Dak Prescott completed 22 of 34 passes for only 175 yards. The biggest surprise from Week #1 for me was the Los Angeles Rams’ 27-7 loss to NFC West rival San Francisco.  This game was played in front of 100,000 fans in Melbourne, Australia.  Los Angeles’ vaunted offense tallied just 290 total yards as the 49ers controlled this game from start to finish. The Rams have said this season is considered “Super Bowl or Bust”.  They now have a flat tire to repair after Week #1. Golf news – Europe smashed US women to reclaim the Solheim Cup Team Europe apparently took offense after USA’s Jennifer Kupcho rolled in a 93-foot birdie putt on hole #17 and then added a 25-footer on #18 Saturday to win her Solheim Cup match.  Kupcho roared “Vamos – Let’s Go!” and taunted the crowd as the day ended with the Solheim Cup matches tied at eight points apiece. The team competition was over.  Sunday’s singles matches would decide the winner. Team Europe came out Sunday wearing their “Do Not Adjust your TV Set” vibrant blue and yellow golf apparel. Thousands of Netherlands golf fans helped to try and unravel the American golfers.  Speakers around the course blared loud music much like at a LIV Golf event.  Local fans even chanted the refrain from The Beatles’ “Hey, Jude” for several minutes. It worked as Team Europe earned a 15-13 victory Sunday.  The final point which was clinched after Jennifer Kupcho of the US lost in her singles match. Europe won the Solheim Cup to honor their recently retired 39-year old Swedish team captain Anna Nordqvist.  It was the fourth European win in the past five of these biennial golf matches. The 2028 Solheim Cup comes to Louisville, Kentucky’s Valhalla Golf Club.  There will be plenty of enthusiastic American golf fans, music, and, of course, some colorful golf apparel on display. In the men’s Ryder Cup and the women’s Solheim competitions, Europe has dominated the past few decades by focusing on teamwork.  The US needs to foster more camaraderie long before these matches begin.

AI Can Build Ten Prototypes. It Still Can't Tell You Which One Is Right. AI will hand you ten prototypes before standup ends. It cannot tell you which one deserves to exist. That gap is where this conversation lives. Jared Hall-Dugas has spent 20 years designing for Warner Bros., the US Air Force, and now National Grid. He sits down with Rina Alexin to talk about product and design collaboration when the tools got fast, why a polished prototype is often a shop with no electricity, and the exact point in your process where cutting design out starts costing you rewrites.  Key Topics: Product and Design Collaboration Under AI Pressure Judgment is the job now Jared can look at ten AI-generated prototypes and tell you which one will land and why. That call is not automatable yet. He argues judgment is the thing product and design both get paid for. The output looks done. It isn't. Buttons that go nowhere. Data that doesn't reconcile. Jared calls it a Pinocchio problem: the shop window looks ready to open, and there's no electricity inside. Somebody in the room has to say so. Where cutting design out gets expensive Design belongs in the room from day one. If that's impossible, Jared names the non-negotiable: the moment discovery converges into a defined solution. Skip it there and you're rewriting later. Why Listen to This Episode? In this thought-provoking episode, you'll gain: A sharper answer to "what part of my role is safe" that isn't wishful thinking A test for spotting AI output that looks finished and isn't, before it reaches a VP The one point in your process where a designer is non-negotiable, and the language to argue for it A repeatable way to move AI culture inside a slow, regulated, 50,000-person organization  Jared's closing line is the one worth sitting with: your designer is just as unsure about all of this as you are. Related Resources Check out these additional tools and resources to add to your PM belt: Productside Resource Library More Productside Stories Podcast Episodes Explore Productside Courses

Marco Fortunato"Caos ed esattezza"Festival Filosofiawww.festivalfilosofia.itFestival Filosofia, ModenaVenerdì 18 settembre 2026, ore 18:00Marco FortunatoCaos ed esattezzaIl Totò-Pinocchio come paradigmaLa comicità e il paradosso possono diventare strumenti per comprendere la realtà nelle sue forme più contraddittorie e imprevedibili? I novanta secondi in cui Totò offre una mirabolante "interpretazione" di Pinocchio contengono riferimenti cifrati a quattro grandi figure antropologico-esistenziali che nel loro complesso coprono quasi per intero lo spettro della vita dell'uomo: l'infanzia, il conflitto, l'arte e il sogno, in cui sono rinvenibili le tracce del caos e quelle dell'esattezza.Marco Fortunato , saggista filosofico, ha riflettuto e scritto sulla problematica esistenziale, sulla dialettica, sul pensiero critico-negativo, sul grande saggismo filosofico dell'Otto e Novecento e sull'opera di tre decisivi pensatori italiani (Leopardi, Rensi e Michelstaedter). Il suo lavoro esplora fra l'altro i dispositivi narrativi e immaginativi attraverso cui la comicità e il paradosso rivelano la capacità del linguaggio di sovvertire continuamente convenzioni assodate e identità consolidate.Fra i suoi libri, Alternative alla vita. Esistenza e filosofia (Genova, 2004), Decisione - Indecisione. Dramma della decisione e utopia dell'indecisione (Roma, 2013), Tre frasi del padre. Il potere - L'io - La malinconia (Milano, 2022) e Sulla vita dell'uomo. Filosofia di Totò-Pinocchio (Roma, 2026).Marco Fortunato""Sulla vita dell'uomo"Filosofia di Totò-PinocchioCastelvecchi Editorewww.castelvecchieditore.comTotò diceva che in Italia bisogna morire perché finalmente si dica che si è stati bravi. La sua vicenda personale sembra confermarlo: colpito in vita da una critica miope e sprezzante, è stato riconosciuto solo dopo la morte come uno dei massimi artisti italiani del Novecento. Questo libro compie un passo ulteriore: legge filosoficamente qualche minuto di un suo film a colori, in cui Totò, vestito da Pinocchio sul palcoscenico di un teatrino di burattini, offre una straordinaria interpretazione muta, tutta affidata alla mimica del volto e del corpo. Da quella sequenza emergono quattro figure decisive dell'esistenza – infanzia, conflitto, arte e sogno – la cui analisi suggerisce altrettante possibilità di vita alternative a quella dell'uomo occidentale, competitivo e aggressivo. Una filosofia di Totò-Pinocchio che, dietro la maschera comica, interroga radicalmente il senso stesso dell'esistenza.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Vært Henrik Heide Medvirkende Thomas Djursing, journalist Ingeniøren Jeppe Findalen, journalist Ingeniøren Louise Olifent, journalist Ingeniøren I denne uges Transformator I Disneys version af Pinocchio er det Den blå Fe, der gør trædukken uafhængig af dukkeføreren. Nu kunne han bevæge sig helt uden kontrol eller hjælp. Hvis de selvkørende biler skal opnå det samme inden for bare en overskuelig årrække, skal producenterne finde frem til feen. For selvom de fremviser biler, der kører omkring i diverse hovedstæder uden chauffør, så sidder der faktisk en skyggechauffør et eller andet sted i verden. Måske en teenager med rat og pedaler i Filippinerne. Selvom OpenAI's topchef, Sam Altman, hævder at hade reklamer, så har han lige hældt dem ind i ChatGPT herhjemme. Firmaet påstår, at det ikke påvirker de svar, vi får. Men tør vi stole på algoritmens black box, mens vi sidder og fører personlige samtaler og prompts med sprogmodellerne? Fingeraftryk er ofte politiets vigtigste kriminaltekniske redskab, men de har svært ved at anvende dem, fordi det er lykkedes at slette koderne til titusindvis af fingeraftryk. Så nu kan mordere og voldtægtsforbrydere gå frit omkring, fordi en migrering af data ikke lige gik som planlagt. I denne uges Transformator ryster vi på hovedet af biler, advarer mod ChatGPT og undres over politiets hemmeligholdelse af egne fejl.

Riesci a leggere un libro in italiano? E soprattutto… fino a che livello riesci ad arrivare? In questo articolo lo scopri con un test di lettura completo, dal livello A1 al livello C2, costruito su frasi vere prese da sei capolavori della letteratura italiana: Pinocchio, Cuore, Il fu Mattia Pascal, I Malavoglia, La coscienza di Zeno e I promessi sposi. Alla fine saprai esattamente qual è il tuo livello di lettura, e conoscerai anche qualche segreto sui libri più famosi d'Italia. Il Grande Test dei Classici Italiani da Pinocchio ai Promessi Sposi Le regole sono semplicissime. Per ogni livello troverai un brano di uno dei sei classici, seguito da due domande: una di grammatica e una di vocabolario. Un livello è "superato" se rispondi correttamente ad almeno una domanda su due. Il tuo livello di lettura è l'ultimo livello che riesci a superare. Se fai due su due… complimenti, livello superato a pieni voti! Mi raccomando: niente dizionario e niente traduttore, altrimenti il test non vale. Prima di iniziare, puoi anche dare un'occhiata alla nostra guida sui libri italiani da leggere. Livello A1 — "Le Avventure di Pinocchio" di Carlo Collodi (1883) Cominciamo con il libro italiano più tradotto al mondo: Pinocchio! Piccola curiosità: "Collodi" non era il vero cognome dell'autore. Lui si chiamava Carlo Lorenzini, ma scelse come nome d'arte il nome del paese toscano della sua mamma: Collodi, appunto. Ecco l'inizio del libro, uno degli inizi più famosi di tutta la letteratura: «C'era una volta… — Un re! — diranno subito i miei piccoli lettori. No, ragazzi, avete sbagliato. C'era una volta un pezzo di legno.» Un consiglio prima delle domande: al livello A1 non serve capire ogni parola! Per rispondere ti bastano quelle che conosci. Ah, e "diranno" è il verbo DIRE al futuro semplice: un tempo che si studia al livello A2, quindi niente panico. Domande del Livello A1 Grammatica: nel testo c'è "avete sbagliato". Qual è l'infinito di questo verbo? Vocabolario: che cos'è il "legno"? A) un animale del bosco B) il materiale degli alberi: serve per fare tavoli e sedie C) un tipo di pane Soluzioni del Livello A1 L'infinito è SBAGLIARE. "Avete sbagliato" è un passato prossimo: verbo AVERE al presente + participio passato (sbagliato). E il legno è ovviamente la risposta B: il materiale degli alberi. Infatti Pinocchio è proprio un burattino fatto di legno. Livello A2 — "Cuore" di Edmondo De Amicis (1886) Saliamo di livello con Cuore, il diario di un bambino di Torino, Enrico, che racconta un anno di scuola. Questo libro ha fatto piangere intere generazioni di italiani: ancora oggi, quando una storia è molto commovente e sentimentale, diciamo che è "da libro Cuore"! «Oggi primo giorno di scuola. Passarono come un sogno quei tre mesi di vacanza in campagna! Mia madre mi condusse questa mattina alla Sezione Baretti a farmi inscrivere per la terza elementare: io pensavo alla campagna e andavo di mala voglia.» Prima delle domande, una nota importante: hai visto "passarono" e "condusse"? Sono al passato remoto, un tempo che troverai spessissimo nei libri. Per ora ti basta riconoscere che è un passato: "passarono" = "sono passati", "condusse" = "ha accompagnato". "Inscrivere" è semplicemente la forma antica di "iscrivere". Ultima cosa: "andare di mala voglia" significa andare malvolentieri, senza voglia. Tieni a mente questa espressione: tra poco tornerà utile! Domande del Livello A2 Grammatica: nel testo c'è "QUEI tre mesi". Perché si dice "quei" e non "quelli" o "quegli"? Vocabolario: che cos'è la "campagna"? A) il contrario della città: un posto con campi, alberi e animali B) un tipo di scuola C) una stagione dell'anno Soluzioni del Livello A2 Il dimostrativo QUELLO, davanti a un nome, si comporta esattamente come l'articolo determinativo. Ecco lo schema: ArticoloForma di QUELLOEsempioilquelquel libroloquelloquello studentel' (maschile)quell'quell'amicola / l' (femminile)quella / quell'quella casa / quell'amicaiqueiquei mesigliquegliquegli amicilequellequelle case Quindi: "mesi" vuole l'articolo "i" → QUEI mesi! La campagna, invece, è la risposta A. Attenzione però: in italiano esiste anche la "campagna elettorale" o "pubblicitaria" — come l'inglese "campaign" —, ma qui Enrico parla proprio di prati, alberi e aria pulita. Livello B1 — "Il Fu Mattia Pascal" di Luigi Pirandello (1904) Ora si fa interessante! Luigi Pirandello, premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1934, ci racconta la storia di Mattia Pascal, un uomo che… viene creduto morto da tutti! "Il fu", infatti, è un'espressione burocratica che si usa per le persone defunte: "il fu Mattia Pascal" significa "il defunto Mattia Pascal". E lui, invece di correggere l'errore, ne approfitta per cominciare una nuova vita con una nuova identità. «Una delle poche cose, anzi forse la sola ch'io sapessi di certo era questa: che mi chiamavo Mattia Pascal. E me ne approfittavo.» Domande del Livello B1 Grammatica: "mi chiamavo Mattia Pascal": che tipo di verbo è "chiamarsi"? E perché qui è all'imperfetto e non al passato prossimo? Vocabolario: "approfittarsi di qualcosa" significa: A) dimenticare qualcosa B) trarre vantaggio da qualcosa C) avere paura di qualcosa Soluzioni del Livello B1 "Chiamarsi" è un verbo riflessivo.Qui è all'imperfetto, "mi chiamavo", perché non indica un'azione conclusa, ma uno stato che durava nel tempo. Per gli stati e le descrizioni nel passato si usa l'imperfetto; per le azioni concluse, il passato prossimo. Confronta: FraseTempoPerché"Da bambino abitavo a Roma"imperfettoStato / descrizione nel passato"Nel 2010 mi sono trasferito a Milano"passato prossimoAzione conclusa in un momento preciso "Approfittarsi", risposta B, significa trarre vantaggio e si costruisce con la preposizione DI: "approfittarsi DI qualcosa". È proprio per questo che nel testo trovi "me NE approfittavo": quel piccolo NE sostituisce "di questo"… segnatelo, perché al livello C1 il NE tornerà da protagonista! Ultimo bonus per i più curiosi: "ch'io sapessi" è un congiuntivo imperfetto, e "ch'io" è l'elisione di "che io". Livello B2 — "I Malavoglia" di Giovanni Verga (1881) Voliamo in Sicilia con Giovanni Verga e il suo capolavoro del verismo: la storia di una famiglia di pescatori di Aci Trezza. Curiosità deliziosa: il vero cognome della famiglia è Toscano, ma tutti li chiamano "Malavoglia" — che letteralmente significherebbe "poca voglia di lavorare" — anche se in realtà sono dei grandissimi lavoratori! In Sicilia questo soprannome di famiglia, spesso ironico, si chiama "'ngiuria". E "mala voglia" ti ricorda qualcosa? Esatto: proprio come Enrico di Cuore, che andava a scuola "di mala voglia". «Un tempo i Malavoglia erano stati numerosi come i sassi della strada vecchia di Trezza; ce n'erano persino ad Ognina, e ad Aci Castello, tutti buona e brava gente di mare, proprio all'opposto di quel che sembrava dal nomignolo, come dev'essere.» Domande del Livello B2 Grammatica: "proprio all'opposto di QUEL CHE sembrava dal nomignolo". Che cosa significa "quel che"? E con quali altre espressioni possiamo sostituirlo? Vocabolario: che cos'è un "nomignolo"? A) un soprannome B) un documento d'identità C) un piccolo insulto Soluzioni del Livello B2 "Quel che" significa "quello che", cioè "ciò che", "la cosa che". Si chiama pronome relativo doppio, perché unisce due elementi in una sola espressione: un dimostrativo (quello) + il relativo (che). Puoi consultare la guida completa sui pronomi relativi per approfondire. Nel testo: "all'opposto di quel che sembrava dal nomignolo" = "il contrario della cosa che il soprannome faceva pensare". Altri esempi: "Non capisco quello che dici." "Ciò che conta è la salute." E già che ci siamo, due bonus: "erano stati" è un trapassato prossimo, per un'azione anteriore a un altro momento del passato; e "ce n'erano" nasconde la combinazione CI + NE ("lì c'erano alcuni di loro"). Il "nomignolo", risposta A, è un soprannome, spesso affettuoso o scherzoso: viene da "nome" più il suffisso "-ignolo". Livello C1 — "La Coscienza di Zeno" di Italo Svevo (1923) Livello C1: entriamo nella mente di Zeno Cosini, l'uomo dell'"ultima sigaretta". Zeno vuole smettere di fumare e scrive dappertutto la data della sua "ultima sigaretta"… peccato che di "ultime sigarette" ne fumi centinaia. Praticamente il nostro "da lunedì mi metto a dieta". Curiosità incredibile: Italo Svevo è uno pseudonimo — il vero nome era Ettore Schmitz — e il suo insegnante privato d'inglese a Trieste era… James Joyce! Sì, proprio l'autore dell'Ulisse: i due diventarono amici e Joyce aiutò a far conoscere il romanzo in Europa. «Vedere la mia infanzia? Più di dieci lustri me ne separano e i miei occhi presbiti forse potrebbero arrivarci se la luce che ancora ne riverbera non fosse tagliata da ostacoli d'ogni genere, vere alte montagne: i miei anni e qualche mia ora.» Domande del Livello C1 Grammatica: nel brano ci sono due particelle NE: "me NE separano" e "la luce che ancora NE riverbera". Che cosa sostituiscono? Vocabolario: quanti anni sono "dieci lustri"? Soluzioni del Livello C1 Tutte e due le particelle NE sostituiscono la stessa cosa: la mia infanzia! "Più di dieci lustri me NE separano" = "mi separano DA essa" (separare DA qualcosa); "la luce che ancora NE riverbera" = "la luce che ancora riverbera DA essa". Ti ricordi il piccolo NE di Pirandello, "me ne approfittavo", che sostituiva "DI + qualcosa"? Ecco il salto di qualità: il NE può sostituire anche i complementi con DA. E non è finita: anche "arrivarCI" si riferisce all'infanzia ("arrivare A essa"). Tutta la frase ruota intorno a una parola che Svevo nomina una sola volta, all'inizio. Per approfondire, puoi consultare la guida sulle particelle CI e NE. Bonus per il ripasso: "potrebbero arrivarci SE la luce non FOS

It's the Spielberg-Kubrick vision of the future no one was sure about at the time, but later got some pretty big acclaim. 2001's AI: Artificial Intelligence remains a Marmite movie, so how will Hannah and Mick feel about this Pinocchio story of a robot who wants to be a real boy? Where can we get us one of those robo-teddies? And having witnessed Jude Law as a rent-a-pump mecha, will Hannah ever sleep soundly again? Learn more about your ad choices.

Anika and Liz, very much against their better judgement, watch The Puppet Episode. Yes, it's Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Level Five Transporter Accident", and we are using words like "I regret having a Star Trek podcast" and "it's a crime against humanity".  Hey, it's not as offensive as "Four and a Half Vulcans" Anika talks about the ancient art of puppetry, commedia dell'arte and Punch and Judy This episode does not understand the point of the "leave one human and the rest of the characters are played by Muppets" meme In fairness, it also does not understand why Muppets are funny The "joke" about Pike's chair This is the third episode of the season where Spock is seeing things Spock: what is wrong with this allegedly grown man  "My girlfriend has been having a hard time and I did not reach out to support her, why did she break up with me?" "So all of that happened for no reason." La'an the reverse Pinocchio (not even the first woman in SNW who aspires to become an object!) Liz got so irate she gestured violently and knocked over her water bottle. We are not good at podcasting. We are sorry.   Manchild instrumental by Janette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcpU4-auc54; song by S. Carpenter, A. Allen and J. Antonoff

Florida is a red state, but it's never without interest and intrigue. Byron Donalds is going to destroy everybody in the Republican primary for governor. He's been a Trump loyalist, has Trump's endorsement, and all the rumors about Casey DeSantis running amounted to a hill of beans. Alex Vindman will likely win the Democratic Senate primary before losing to Ashley Moody in November. But the more interesting races are farther down the ballot, where several people may be out of politics forever when this is over.Florida's newly redrawn 22nd District has seven Republicans competing for what'll likely be a safe Republican seat. It's also where I finally found my line on AI-generated political content. A website attacking Belinda Keiser includes an AI image depicting her having sex with Jeffrey Epstein. I've had a lot of tolerance for campaigns turning metaphors and fantasies into images, but I guess my line in the sand is a candidate getting piped by Jeffrey Epstein. Now we know. David Burke appeared to be surging at the end, but there isn't much reliable polling.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The race I'm watching most closely is Florida's 7th District, where Corey Mills is seeking a third term against former television sports reporter Ryan Elijah. To say Mills is scandal-plagued is to say Pinocchio is only helping Monstro's dental health, babe. Mills has faced allegations involving two former girlfriends, while the House Ethics Committee is examining possible sexual misconduct, inaccurate financial disclosures, campaign-finance violations, improper gifts, special favors tied to his office, and misuse of congressional resources. He denies wrongdoing. Sparse public polling suggests he could lose, and Republicans in Washington are desperately hoping he does.In Florida's 20th District, redistricting pushed Debbie Wasserman Schultz into a traditionally Black seat. She's running against former representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, Dale Holness, Elijah Manley, and Uncle Luke himself, Luther Campbell. With four Black candidates dividing the vote and no runoff in Florida primaries, Wasserman Schultz only needs a plurality. I think she'll win. Let the sun shine down and reveal the truth as Florida votes — and start a stopwatch when the polls close, because these races will probably be called within about 90 minutes. Shocking how fast that can go. Just saying.Congressional Democrats are preparing another war-powers challenge after Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it obstructs efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. They've been looking for another non-affordability way to hit Trump over Iran, and this is a good strategy. It's a historically unpopular war, and they want to tie him to it every way they can. Meanwhile, the administration has paused construction of a border wall inside Big Bend National Park while CBP reviews the project. Not all border is created equal. Big Bend accounts for a small share of crossings, and there are easier, lighter ways to patrol an area where somebody might still have to walk for three days after crossing.ABC has also filed a First Amendment lawsuit accusing the FCC of retaliating against the network for its editorial decisions. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has threatened to revoke ABC's license amid his fight with the network, particularly over Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's death. It's not surprising that ABC is bringing a legal challenge, even if only as a predicate to any FCC action. If you're ABC and the chairman of the FCC threatens your license, it would be malpractice not to take him seriously and prepare in case it actually happens.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:08 - Florida Races00:20:49 - Oman00:25:47 - Border Wall00:28:02 - ABC Sues FCC00:29:35 - Brian Brushwood on the Nuances of Texas' Electorate01:25:20 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

What makes the perfect gateway horror movie? Is it a family-friendly introduction to the genre, the movie that personally traumatized you as a kid, or simply something so fun that it leaves you craving another scare? Griffey, Sam, Heath and Sophia draft the movies they believe create lifelong horror fans. The picks range from The Lost Boys, The Monster Squad and Hocus Pocus to Pinocchio, Beetlejuice and Poltergeist. Along the way, they debate whether Disney movies count as horror, revisit the VHS covers and childhood nightmares that warped their young minds, and discover that Sam may only understand gateway horror as "hot teenagers fighting vampires." Who built the best list? Vote for the winner in the comments and tell us which movie first opened the gateway to horror for you.

Which version of you shows up when you pray?In this reflection on Psalm 55, John Ortberg explores a surprising truth about prayer: God doesn't want the cleaned-up, polished, "Disney version" of you. He wants the real you.The Psalms aren't theological essays or collections of perfectly polished emotions. They're raw prayers from real human beings bringing fear, anger, anguish, confusion, and desire honestly before God.John connects this idea to the original story of The Adventures of Pinocchio, which is much darker and more spiritually suggestive than the famous Disney adaptation. Pinocchio is lovingly created by his father, rebels against him, rejects his conscience, and longs for something he cannot accomplish on his own: to become real.And that's where Pinocchio's story intersects with ours.Transformation doesn't begin when we finally become the person we think God wants. It begins when the person we actually are becomes willing to stand honestly before Him.In this episode:Psalm 55 and honest prayerWhy every emotion in the Psalms isn't necessarily an instructionBringing our troubled thoughts before GodThe surprising theology of PinocchioConscience, rebellion, and the love of the FatherBiblical echoes of Jonah and the Prodigal SonMoving from a heart of stone to a heart of fleshWhy transformation begins with getting realScriptures:Psalm 552 Timothy 3:16–17Hosea 11:3Luke 15Jonah 1–2Matthew 12:38–40Ezekiel 36:26#Psalm55 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #Psalms #Pinocchio #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #HonestPrayer #Transformation

In light of the dismal Disclosure Day (2026), we return to two films that show Spielberg tackling alien visitation (or invasion) stories while at the height of his powers. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and The War of the Worlds (2005) are decades apart, yet united by a single image and devotion to their audiences. The first is as Disneylike as Pinocchio; the second conjures memories of 9/11. Both show domesticity under great strain as families and infrastructures break down; one ends with hope while the other simply stops. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. The War of the Worlds is based on H. G. Wells's 1898 novel, which you can purchase here. Please subscribe to the show and consider leaving us a rating or review.

Jim Hill and Drew Taylor take a Fourth of July detour on Fine Tooning for a deep dive into the first 50 years of Disney animation directors. With Ron Clements' memoir now pushed to October and The Great Mouse Detective celebrating its 40th anniversary, Jim and Drew trace how Disney's animated features evolved from Walt's hands-on oversight to the rise of the CalArts generation. Along the way, they revisit Snow White, Dumbo, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, The Rescuers, The Black Cauldron, and the film that helped set the stage for Disney animation's next era. HIGHLIGHTS • Ron Clements' long-awaited memoir, Making Disney Magic, gets another release-date delay. • The Great Mouse Detective turns 40, giving Jim and Drew the perfect excuse to revisit Disney animation's directing history. • Walt Disney's role in shaping Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi gets a fresh look. • The wartime package films reveal how Disney kept animation alive during a difficult stretch for the studio. • The conversation follows the handoff from veteran Disney directors to the CalArts generation that changed feature animation. FEATURE • How early Disney animated features used supervising directors, sequence directors, and Walt's final creative say. • Why Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, and Sleeping Beauty marked a major postwar rebuilding period. • How Wolfgang Reitherman's run helped define the studio's animated output after Walt's death. • Why The Rescuers, The Fox and the Hound, The Black Cauldron, and The Great Mouse Detective became turning points for the next generation of Disney storytellers.
