Puntin Ennio, Sandra e sorella, 1961

[pettirosso1959]

Ad un turista che giunge a Roma e poi ordina due Hamburger e quindi posta sui social lo scontrino con l'esoso, per lui, conto... Cosa gli fareste?

Io:

Ma le segrete del Castel Sant'Angelo sono ancora aperte? E il marchingegno che fu ideato dal dottor Joseph-Ignace Guillotin è ancora funzionante? Magari con un po' di coppale, una lubrificatina alle pulegge, un'affilatina alla lama...

Poi lo spettacolo sul ponte di Castel Sant'Angelo tutto infiorato con gerani, gardenie, due azalee.

Inoltre con queste belle giornate di sole, come dicevano i romani? "Peccato che nun ce sii l’impiccato!".

All'inizio di gennaio di un anno qualsiasi,

con amori e nomi già selezionati,

con le ossa mature nel mezzo della mia vita,

mi  RIPROMETTO solennemente di non soffrire troppo.

Se mi colpiscono, che mi colpiscano,

se mi centrano, che mi centrino,

e se perdo alla lotteria,

sarà perché ho giocato.

I dolori mi infastidiscono,

sono allergica alla rabbia,

con la fronte accigliata

sembro uno strano feto.

Anno nuovo, vita nuova

(Che sano cliché!)

Una nuova luce illumina

il mio ascensore, stanco

di salire al momento sbagliato

di comunicare,

di esprimere l’ansia nei versi,

di  perdere tempo invano,

di disseminare la mia insonnia

di puntine e chiodi.

Nel bel mezzo della mia vita

sorrido e spalanco la porta,

- non voglio finire nei corridoi

con il cuore roso dalle tarme -.

PROMETTO di non affogarti

di nuovo nelle mie lacrime,

di non soffrire ancora,

senza un giustificato

motivo.

Gloria Fuertes, da Opere incomplete, 1975

Of all the characters in Poppy playtime, which one would you rather have as a roommate.

Only condition is that you are perfectly safe around them.

I think Mommy LongLegs or Kissy would be my best option. Like yeah I could go with Poppy but there is a higher chance of me puntin her porcelain ass out the window in the dead of night than the other two.

Catnap would drug me for fun.

Huggy would loom over me in the night with the same vibe of a toddler that just threw up.

Ms. Delight would give me heart palpitations with her constant weeping angel bullshit.

La mia Fiat 500 d'epoca torna a ruggire!

Finalmente, dopo mesi di attesa e di lavoro duro, la mia Fiat 500 d'epoca è uscita dal garage del meccanico, tutta rinnovata e più brillante che mai. Questa storia non è solo di una riparazione, ma è la storia di una grande passione.

La Disavventura Estiva Mi ricordo ancora quella giornata d'estate in Toscana, quando, all'improvviso, la mia amata 500 ha deciso di non muoversi più. Nonostante avessi fatto una bella revisionata prima di partire, il motore ha detto basta, lasciandomi a cuocere sotto il sole di luglio, con tanta rabbia e delusione. È stata l'inizio di un'avventura non prevista, costosissima, che mi ha insegnato un sacco sulla tenacia e l'affetto verso queste piccole grandi protagoniste su quattro ruote. (in pochi capiscono questa cosa) La Sfida Mettere a posto la mia Cinquecento non è stato per niente facile.   All'inizio, sembrava un rompicapo senza soluzione: abbiamo cambiato bobina, spinterogeno, puntine e candele, ma il problema era ancora lì, bello tosto. Poi, grazie all'aiuto di un esperto, abbiamo capito che il guaio veniva dalle fasce elastiche, di dimensioni maggiori delle originali per correggere la tenuta in un motore con i cilindri usurati. Queste, verosimilmente per il maggiore attrito, non reggevano il caldo estivo e causavano un sacco di problemi, dal surriscaldamento alla deformazione delle valvole. Quindi abbiamo dovuto cambiare un bel po' di pezzi, dalle valvole ai pistoni e ai cilindri. Si torna a casa! Il giorno che mi hanno detto che la mia fiat 500 d'epoca era pronta, ero al settimo cielo. Vederla lì, brillante sotto il sole, è stato un momento top. Oltre alla meccanica hanno fatto un opera di pulizia e lucidatura, bellissima!! Sono tornato a casa con il motore che andava che era una meraviglia e una felicità che solo chi ha questa passione può capire. Più di una semplice auto             La Fiat 500 è un sacco di cose: libertà, avventure, un pezzo di Italia che ci fa ancora sognare. Ogni volta che metto in moto, è una grandissima emozione!

Ora, con la mia 500 a posto, ho in mente di girare per le strade di campagna, scoprire posti nuovi e godermi ogni viaggio come se fosse il primo. La magia di guidare una Fiat 500 d'epoca sta tutto nel viaggio, nelle sensazioni che ti dà, nei ricordi che riporta su. Un Grazie a chi mi ha aiutato Un mega grazie va a tutti quelli che mi hanno dato una mano in questa avventura: dal meccanico esperto ai familiari e agli amici che hanno condiviso con me questa esperienza. E un applauso va alla comunità di appassionati di Fiat 500, una grande famiglia che condivide la stessa passione e che è sempre pronta a dare una mano o un consiglio.

Guardando al Futuro Questa storia della mia Fiat 500 d'epoca e della sua riparazione è un pezzetto di vita, un esempio di come l'affetto, la determinazione e un po' di testardaggine possono fare miracoli. E mentre mi preparo per i giri che farò quest'estate, mi sento parte di qualcosa di grande, di una storia che continua a vivere in ogni Fiat 500 che scorrazza per il mondo. E Ora Ditemi la Vostra E voi? Avete delle storie epiche o dei momenti felici con la vostra Fiat 500? Storie di riparazioni eroiche, gite da ricordare o semplicemente momenti di pura gioia al volante di queste leggende su quattro ruote? Raccontatemi tutto, perché ogni storia è un pezzo di quella passione che ci lega tutti.   Read the full article

Puntine #102 - Canzoni da ricordare questa settimana

https://www.dlso.it/site/2023/03/15/puntine-102-canzoni-da-ricordare/

[moneeb0930]

The Land of Punt(Ta netjer, the “land of the gods”)

After the end of the New Kingdom period, Punt became “an unreal and fabulous land of myths and legends.”

At times, the ancient Egyptians called Punt Ta netjer, meaning “God’s Land”.This referred to the fact that it was among the regions of the Sun God, that is, the regions located in the direction of the sunrise, to the East of Egypt. These eastern regions’ resources included products used in temples, notably incense. Older literature (and current non-mainstream literature) maintained that the label “God’s Land”, when interpreted as “Holy Land” or “Land of the gods/ancestors”, meant that the ancient Egyptians viewed the Land of Punt as their ancestral homeland. W. M. Flinders Petrie believed that the Dynastic Race came from or through Punt and E. A. Wallis Budge stated that “Egyptian tradition of the Dynastic Period held that the aboriginal home of the Egyptians was Punt…”.The term was not only applied to Punt, located southeast of Egypt, but also to regions of Asia east and northeast of Egypt, such as Lebanon, which was the source of wood for temples.

Location

The oldest known expedition to Punt was organized by Pharaoh Sahure of the 5th dynasty (2458-2446 BC). Also around 1950 BC, in the time of King Mentuhotep III, 11th dynasty (2004-1992 BC), an officer named Hennu and three thousand men from the south transported material for building ships through Wadi Hammamat, and to Punt acquiring a number of exotic products including incense, perfume and gum was brought to Egypt. A very famous expedition was for Queen Hatshepsut in the 18th dynasty (1473-1458 BC). It was formed of five ships, each measuring 70 feet long, and with several sails. These accommodated 210 men, including sailors and 30 rowers, and was led by the Nubian general “Nehsi”. They departed at Quseir on the Red Sea for what was primarily a trading mission, seeking frankincense and myrrh, and fragrant unguents used for cosmetics and in religious ceremonies. However, they also brought back exotic animals and plants, ivory, silver and gold. A report of this voyage is left behind as temple reliefs in Deir el-Bahri, Egypt (see reliefs below). The reliefs shows the departure of the expedition, its arrival at the mysterious land, the landing of the ships with the gifts by the Puntine leader to Hatshepsut, and the preparations for the return voyage. The temple reliefs also showed the features of the Puntine people, who were black Africans, as well as another race much resembling Egyptians. Donkeys were depicted as the method of transporting goods, and white dogs guarding the people’s houses. Birds, monkeys, leopards and hippopotamus are also seen, as well as giraffes which are typical African animals, to live in Punt. The Nubian Nehsi is then shown in front of his tent with a banquet offered to his guests, and observing the gifts presented.

And then there is the story of The Shipwrecked Sailor, 2200 BC which references Punt.

Petrie, W.M. Flinders. The Making of Egypt, London. New York, Sheldon Press; Macmillan, 1939:

Page 77

“Some of the most obvious public works of the 1st dynasty were the carrying on of earlier undertakings. The great historical maces, and the irrigation works, had been developed under the Scorpion king of the Aunu, and both may have originated much earlier. Many vases and bowls bear his name.”

“Origins in Elam and Punt. The distinctive character of the 1st dynasty, which separates it from all that went before, is the conquest and union of the whole land of Egypt. It became thus subject to the falcon-bearing tribe of Horus, which was the natural enemy of the Aunu, the Set-bearing tribe. This falcon tribe had certainly originated in Elam, as indicated by the hero and lions on the "Araq knife handle”. They went down the Persian Gulf and settled in the “horn of Africa.” There they named the “Land of Punt,” sacred to later Egyptians as the source of the race. The Pun people founded the island fortress of Ha-fun, which commands the whole of that coast, and hence came the Punic or Phoenic peoples of classical history. Those who went up the Red Sea formed the dynastic invaders of Egypt, entering by the Qocier-Koptos road. Others went on to Syria and founded Tyre, Sidon and Aradus, named after their home islands in the Persian Gulf (Strabo, XVI, iii, 4). This migration formed the basis of the great spread of Puni, by the colonies of Carthage around the Mediterranean, and into the Atlantic on both north and south.“–W.M. Flinders Petrie

The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt, Ian Shaw, p. 317, 2003:

"There is still some debate regarding the precise location of Punt, which was once identified with the region of modern Somalia. A strong argument has now been made for its location in either southern Sudan or the Eritrean region of Ethiopia, where the indigenous plants and animals equate most closely with those depicted in the Egyptian reliefs and paintings.

It used to be assumed (primarily on the basis of the scenes at Deir el-Bahri depicting Hatshepsut’s expedition to Punt in the mid-18th Dynasty) that the trading parties travelled by sea from the ports of Quseir or Mersa Gawasis, but it now seems likely that at least some of the Egyptian traders sailed south along the Nile and then took an overland route to Punt, perhaps making contact with the Puntites in the vicinity of Kurgus, at the fifth cataract.

The Deir el-Bahri scenes include depictions of the unusual Puntite settlements, comprising conical reed-built huts set on poles above the ground, and entered via ladders. Among the surrounding vegetation are palms and myrrh trees, some of the latter already in the process of being hacked apart in order to extract the myrrh. The scenes also show myrrh trees being loaded onto the ships so that the Egyptians could produce their own aromatics from them (and it has been argued that this in itself may be an argument for the combined Nile-overland route from Punt to Egypt, given the fact that such plants might well have died during the more difficult voyage northwards along the Red Sea coast). These myrrh trees might even have been replanted in the temple at Deir el-Bahri itself, judging from the surviving traces of tree pits there.”

The oldest known expedition to Punt was organized by Pharaoh Sahure of the 5th dynasty (2458-2446 BC). Also around 1950 BC, in the time of King Mentuhotep III, 11th dynasty (2004-1992 BC), an officer named Hennu and three thousand men from the south transported material for building ships through Wadi Hammamat, and to Punt acquiring a number of exotic products including incense, perfume and gum was brought to Egypt.

There is still some debate regarding the precise location of the mythical land of Punt:

Breasted, James Henry, Ph.D., Ancient Records of Egypt, Historical Documents, Vol. II, 1906:

Pages 102-104

“These are undoubtedly the most interesting series of relief’s in Egypt, and form almost our only early source of information for the land of Punt. They are as beautiful in execution as they are important in content. They record an important expedition of the queen thither, which was successfully concluded just before her ninth year.”

“The only earlier evidences of intercourse with Punt are as follows: In the Fourth Dynasty a Puntite negro appears as the slave of one of the sons of King Khufu, in the Fifth, King Sahure sent an expedition thither, and King Isesi sent another, which brought back a dancing dwarf; in the Sixth, an officer of Pepi II, named Enenkhet, was killed by the Sand-dwellers on the coast, while building a ship for the Punt voyage, and another expedition thither under the the same king was led by assistant treasurer, Thethy; in the Eleventh Dynasty, Henu, chief treasurer of King Senekhkere-Mentuhoptep III, dispatched an expedition to Punt, which he accompanied only to the coast of the Red Sea; in the Twelfth Dynasty, an officer of Amenemhet II, named Khentkhetwer, records his safe return from Punt; and finally there was also an expedition under Sesostris II.”

“The question of the location of Punt is too large for discussion here, but is was certainly in Africa, and probably was the Somali coast.”

“Historically, it is important to note that Thutmose III appears only once in the Punt reliefs, and that in a subordinate position, so that, as far as this source is concerned, the queen is the author of the expedition, which she undertakes in accordance with an oracle of Amon”.

Page 117

Punt under the Queen

“But I will cause thy army to tread them, I have led them on water and on land, to explore the waters of inaccessible channels, and I have reached the Myrrh-terraces. It is a glorious region of God’s-Land; it is indeed my place of delight. I have made it for myself, in order to divert my heart, together with Mut, Hathor, Wereret (Isis), mistress of Punt, the mistress, ‘Great in Sorcery’, mistress of all gods. They took myrrh as they wished, they loaded the vessels to their hearts’ content, with fresh myrrh trees, every good gift of this country, Puntites whom the people know not, Southerns of God’s-Land. I conciliated them by love that they might give to thee praise, because thou art a god, because of thy fame in the countries. I know them, I am their wise lord, I am the begetter, Amon-Re; my daughter, who binds the lords, is the king [Makere] (Hatshepsut). I have begotten her for myself. I am thy father, who sets thy fear among the Nine Bows, while they come in peace to all gods. They have brought all the marvels, every beautiful thing of God’s-Land, for which thy majesty sent them: heaps of gum of myrrh, and enduring trees bearing fresh myrrh, united in the festival-hall, to be seen of the lord of the gods. May thy majesty cause them to grow. My temple, in order to delight my heart among them. My name is before the gods, thy name is before all the living, forever. Heaven and earth are flooded with incense; odors are in the Great House. Mayest thou offer them to me, pure and cleansed, in order to express the ointment for the divine limbs, to offer myrrh, to make ointment, to make festive my statue with necklaces, while I am making libations for thee. My heart is glad because of seeing thee.”–James Henry Breasted

Vladimir Bondarenko è un ex ingegnere aeronautico e blogger di Kyiv che pubblica su Ukraine Today contenuti particolarmente critici verso le autorità dell’Ucraina.

Irina Kerimova è la caporedattrice del sito web. Insegnante di chitarra di Kharkiv, la seconda città più grande del Paese, e impegnata anche lei nella propaganda anti-ucraina.

Ma c’è un piccolo dettaglio. Bondarenko e Kerimova non esistono. Sono stati costruiti da una intelligenza artificiale voluta dalla propaganda anti-Ucraina di Puntin. Lo ha scoperto Ben Collins, giornalista della Nbc che ha denunciato la clamorosa fake news su Twitter. Collins ha scannerizzato al dettaglio le due immagini. C’è un particolare visibile anche così: le orecchie innaturali dell’uomo in fotografia.

uhm...sarà...ma quelle orecchie l'ho già viste...dai.
