I malnati: com'era essere gay negli anni '60
Di romanzi sullâaccettazione dellâomosessualitĂ in unâepoca meno tollerante della nostra ne ho letti fin troppi. Ben due solo questâanno: Swimming in the Dark (ambientato in Polonia negli anni Ottanta) e Young Mungo (ambientato in Scozia negli anni Novanta). Chi lâavrebbe mai detto che per una variazione sul tema avrei dovuto leggere un romanzo italiano fuori commercio del 1960? I malnati segueâŠ

AI startups will need âquality of revenueâ to raise in 2025, seed VCs warn
Fundraising in 2025 will continue to be a âtale of two cities,â VC Renata Quintini, co-founder of early-stage VC Renegade Partners, said onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt last week.
âSome companies, really having the promise of going after big markets growing fast, [will be] receiving a lot of funding and momentum.â But on the other side, the âcompanies that need to build real businesses and efficient businessesâ will struggle to raise cash, Quintini warned.
Sheâs referring to the tight fundraising market that startups have faced in the era of higher interest rates. In 2023, some 3,200 startups died after they easily raised money during the party times of 2021. In 2024, VCs stampeded toward funding AI companies, and many other early-stage startups struggled to raise and more deaths occurred. Fintech was particularly brutal in 2024.
As 2025 arrives, the best chance of getting venture funding will be to have solid business fundamentals. (Unless youâre, say, a world-renowned AI scientist.) That means selling a product or service at a profitable price point that serves a sizable customer base.
But wait! There will be more to it than just landing paying customers, VC Corinne Riley, partner at Greylock warned onstage.
âThere is no set milestoneâ of sales or growth that will turn VCsâ heads next year, Riley says. âThere is no key number that if you achieve it youâre going to raise a successful Series A. What weâre looking for is actually the quality of the ARR [annual recurring revenue], and not the quantity of ARR.â
In other words, are customers sticking around once theyâre on board? Do they tend to increase their spending with the startup over time? The startup might actually have fewer customers than competitors, and less revenue, but if the customers it signs stay, investors will write checks.

The Conference Pear
How the Conference #pear became the dominant variety of British pear
One of the joys of autumn is the appearance of indigenous pears on supermarket shelves, October 4th marking the start of this yearâs British apple and pear season. While there may be over five hundred varieties of pear, according to the Defra National Fruit Collection, the odds are that the British pear you will see on the shelves will be a Conference, which, at 15,600 tonnes in 2020, accountedâŠ

đžđž đđđđ, "đđȘđ°đ€đ° đđȘ đđČđ¶đąđ„đłđą"
«Oggi impareremo un incantesimo di difesa che funziona unicamente contro gli attacchi fisici Lâincantesimo si chiama ScĂčtum e si casta muovendo la bacchetta in due piccoli cerchi»Â
Ruby: [...] si volterebbe verso «Knox!» a richiamarne lâattenzione e guadagnare il suo fianco, borbottandole piano e a voce bassa «senti, io sono stufa di questi che ci colpiscono e noi che facciamo da bersagli a caso» mettendo in sospensione per cause di forza maggiore ogni diatriba «facciamo squadra squadra e suoniamogliele» guardando i due piĂč grandi armati, aggiungendo un «in qualche modo». E annuirebbe alla compagna, borbottando un «ci penso io» prima di mettersi bene al suo fianco e sfruttare lo scudo che questa creerĂ per difenderle. Punterebbe quindi la bacchetta in avanti, spostandosi quel che basta per uscire dalla sfera protettiva di Alexa, ed individuare Alyce, puntandole la testa e cercando quanto piĂč precisamente puĂČ alla fronte di questa, visto che si Ăš rivelata essere la piĂč brava con quellâarnese, per un «ConfĂčndus!» urlato prima di ritrarsi nella protezione e gridare «CORRI!» perchĂ© chi si ferma Ăš perduto.
Lex: [...] Prima che lo spettacolo cominci, sente chiamare il suo nome «Eh?» da quando la MacFusty le rivolge la parola? «squadra? tu ed io?» inarcando un sopracciglio, un po` confusa «beh io... posso fare lo scudo...» perchĂš in effetti, non ha idee migliori «poi sei tu quella con le SUPER ideone qui, no?» e a quel punto tenterebbe di stare abbastanza vicina a Rubinia con l`intento di poter riparare anche lei. Tornerebbe quindi ad osservare i quintini, e, non appena li vede apprestarsi a sparare, bacchetta in posizione e «ScĂčtum!» esclama per la seconda volta, eseguendo due cerchietti col catalizzatore, e visualizzando nuovamente una barriera protettiva pararsi davanti a sĂš -ed eventualmente alla Compagna-
Lâincantesimo di Alexa Ăš un poâ frettoloso questa volta e cosĂŹ la sua barriera non si concretizza come voleva e il primo proiettile di Alyce la colpisce alla spalla. ma Rubinia, beh, questa volta usa Alexa come suo scudo e, la cosa si rivela piuttosto efficace.

mentre Ăš la mano destra che poi, fermatasi davanti alla porta dell`armadietto, si infila al di lĂ del colletto della camicia bianca, un`occhiata a Daemon nel farlo, persistendo nell`atto di tirare su la catenella con la chiave appesa, fra una sottile sfida o forse per dispetto, con il sorrisetto, nel ricordare chi ha il potere qui, giocosamente. Recuperato l`oggetto tanto agognato da molti studenti, Ăš aprendo la porta del suddetto armadietto con una certa intrinseca soddisfazione - sotto strati di nonchalance - che quest`ultimo si mostra ai due quintini: una stanza rettangolare, stretta e lunga, dalle pareti molto alte, nascoste dagli scaffali colmi di bocette, vasi, barattoli.Â

Historic Urban Farming and Byproducts of the City (Potager du Roi, Versailles)
The Paris region has a long history of urban agriculture through âLa culture maraĂźchĂšreâ or the market gardening practices within the centre of Paris throughout the nineteenth century and the innovations of the Potager du Roi, Versailles in thee seventeenth and eighteenth century. Â
When Louis XIV ordered the design and construction of Versailles to the south west of Paris (beginning in 1661) he also required the necessary infrastructure in order to feed the palace and the surrounding town. He employed Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie to develop an urban vegetable garden within the centre of Versailles. Throughout his coming years at the Potager Quintinie developed sophisticated systems and microclimates within the walled gardens that enabled him to produce fruits and vegetables outside of their traditional growing seasons and within an urban context. It has been argued that the success of urban farms such as the Potager and the culture maraĂźchĂšre of Paris was not only the reduced distance between product and market but was also the proximity and availability of waste products that were integrated into the agricultural production methods (such as residual heat, water run-off and manure from the stables). This is an interesting approach to historic urban farming which helps to integrate food production fully into the workings of the city, not by creating the space as a standalone model but by embedding food production with the byproducts of the cityâs processes and systems.Â
