Alright, a poll I’ve been waiting to do a while

[bagnabraghe]

Nel documento "Guerrilla Bands in Italy" molto significativamente non si parlava ancora di Resistenza

Se l’aiuto italiano offerto agli alleati in campo militare si rivelò nel complesso limitato, ben più cospicua fu l’assistenza prestata ai servizi di intelligence sia inglesi (SOE) che americani (OSS), che si avvalevano di una preziosa rete di informatori e agenti reclutati in loco <459, oppure agli uffici preposti alla propaganda di guerra (Political Warfare Executive nel Regno Unito e Office of…

what has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

Charles' race engineer Xavi Marcos will be replaced by Bryan Bozzi from Imola onwards while Xavi moves to a different project within the team

Ollie Bearman will be completing junior FP1 session for Haas in Imola

Ferrari tested new anti-spray wheel covers during their filming day in Fiorano (they look horrendous) - as well as the new upgrade package they will introduce in Imola

besides them, also RBR and Mercedes are bringing upgrades - Mercedes will introduce them over the next 4 races, Oscar will get full package Lando got in Miami and Sauber are set to introduce the upgrades to help with their bad pitstops

Pierre will have a special Senna tribute helmet in Imola

Jamie Chadwick scored her first podium in Indy NXT

Miami GP donated over 40 thousand portions of food that was left over from the race weekend through Food Rescue US

Marc Priestly says multiple Red Bull workers are considering departure from the team after Adrian Newey left (if you don't know him, he is maybe the most well known former mechanic)

Helmut Marko said that the rumours about Daniel getting replaced by Liam Lawson were started by Liam’s management and that’s why it was reported by a New Zealand journal first

Red Bull will present RB17 hypercar that Adrian Newey developer at Goodwood

George has a film??? Made with UBS (but it is actually a short video on social media?)

McLaren has new merch line for Monaco which is inspired by the (good) old times

German media are saying that Audi already took over Sauber and both current drivers would be out of the team

Abbi Pulling became the first woman to win British F4 race <3

the f1 Brad Pitt movie’s budget is already over 300 m AMERICAN DOLLARS

Joe Saward thinks that Alpine might be the destination for Carlos Sainz starting from next year because neither Mercedes nor Red Bull want to commit to him and rather prefer to wait and see how people shift across the teams first and since Carlos Sainz sr worked with Bruno Famin for Peugeot in Dakar, he has some links to it

speaking of, Carlos Sainz sr has been confirmed as Ford’s driver for Dakar 2025

multiple drivers or former drivers (Charles, Lando, Oscar, Zak Brown, Mark Webber, Ollie Bearman, Arthur Leclerc and even Adrian Newey) went to see Grand Prix de Monaco Historique this weekend (also just for fun: Zak Brown drove Williams FW07B

after Guenther Steiner sued Haas, Haas took a look at Surviving to Drive and they are suing him for unauthorized use of their trademark :))

Loic Serra and Jerome d’Ambrosio will start officially working for Ferrari from October

MotosportWeek spoke to Alex about his future and he refused to confirm he will drive for Williams next season (despite having a contract through 2025) and James Vowles didn’t want to comment on potentially letting him go sooner with an exit clause either

there are more rumours about Chicago GP, this time of it potentially being signed already from 2026 onwards

it’s been confirmed that the HP (ew) deal is worth 100m dollars a year with additional benefits and all technique equipment from the company (laptops, computers, printers, 3D printers etc) to Maranello

Ford confirmed their targets for 2026 RBR power unit are being met, the rumours about them being behind in the development are nonsense and they obviously don’t know where others stand with their engines

Helmut Marko said that if he was in Newey’s position he would choose red (or something like that I am paraphrasing oe24.at)

Besides Eliot, were there any prominent writers or critics who were Shakespeare haters?

Yes. Enlightenment-era writers, with their neoclassical aesthetics, took issue with his perceived irrationalism: Voltaire is the most famous example, but even Samuel Johnson in England made a number of sharply critical remarks in his own work on the plays. The Romantics were mostly "pro," but the belatedly neoclassical Byron also dismissed Shakespeare as a vapid plagiarist in his letters, inferior in sublimity to Milton. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the biggest names are Tolstoy, Shaw, and Wittgenstein. All three had some version of the same underlying complaint: his work is unrealistic, sensationalist, and puts forth no coherent, edifying worldview. It's not that different from Eliot's complaint; Pound, too, preferred Chaucer as closer to political and social realities.

In all these cases, we see a reaction against the Romantics, who most valued Shakespeare for his imaginative freedom and "negative capability." (I wrote about some of the anti-Romantic critique here, drawing on George Steiner's eloquent, summative bard-skeptical essay "A Reading Against Shakespeare," collected in No Passion Spent.) I've also suggested—in one of my Invisible College lectures—that Joyce is an undercover Shakespeare hater on more political grounds, anticipating feminist, Marxist, and postcolonial critiques.

I believe those are the biggest names; as I've said elsewhere, the list of Shakespeare haters is as distinguished as the list of anti-Stratfordians, but the Shakespeare haters are far more persuasive, precisely because they're hating the man from Stratford in all his proto-bourgeois ingloriousness. I'm a Shakespeare lover myself, and indifferent to the political critique, but there's something to the argument that much of his work suffers for its lack of metaphysics, of ultimate things, something that, in some moods, can make Dante or Dostoevsky feel more profound. Steiner writes a stirring passage in this vein near the end of his aforementioned essay:

Are there specific gravities of art and literature, of our experience of and response to art and literature, which arise from the felt, indeed declared pressure on art and literature of the presence or absence (in many cases, such as Dostoevsky's or Kafka's, absence is a more radical possibility of presence) of God? The theological-metaphysical enactment of what is gravest and most constant in human questioning, of that which lies, or may lie, on the other side of language, gives to certain texts an indispensable vulnerability and stature. The anguished patience of such questioning comes to possess us in the Oresteia; in Sophocles' Oedipus, Antigone, and Oedipus at Colonus; it presses on us, almost unbearably, in Euripides' Bacchae. We hear it in Marco Lombardo's voice out of the purging smoke in Purgatorio XVI; in Ivan Karamazov's prosecution of God; in the parables of Kafka. There is a very real sense in which Shakespeare does know and say everything; does he know and say anything else?

I'm not sure this is true of King Lear or The Winter's Tale or The Tempest, but, since even these seem pagan-occult rather than concerned with the Platonic or Abrahamic God Steiner is so preoccupied by, I accept his general point.

Maybe artists criticize each other better than actual critics can, because they can in criticizing each other complete each other. Steiner, skeptical of American literature, does not mention Melville, who thought Shakespeare wrote in the fetters of his pre-American and censorious era. Therefore in Moby-Dick Melville might be said to have brought Shakespeare into what the bard had been forced to avoid: a confrontation with God.

Kublai Khan by Anige (Nepalese artist and astronomer)

A successor of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, had settled in China as a ruler after the Mongols had stormed over to Europe. To Kublai Khan in China there came from Europe a Venetian, Marco Polo. At the court of Kublai Khan, who was himself under the influence of the initiation I have previously described, Marco Polo was deeply and fundamentally influenced.

—Rudolf Steiner, Inner Impulses of Evolution: Lecture V

Síntesis libro R.Steiner sobre la educación del niño (GA 104)

Los problemas que existen alrededor de la educación son enormes y diversos: sociales, de género, pedagógicos, jurídicos, de salud, y vacías nos dejan las respuestas que la educación moderna nos da...

Este es el marco de reflexión al que Rudolf Steiner nos invita a ingresar en este sintético libro:

...todas estas cuestiones, no se van a poder resolver si no nos centramos en el problema más sustancial, más esencial, que es la naturaleza del niño en vías de desarrollo. Porque son inadecuados los medios con los que nuestro tiempo hace frente a esta demanda.

Esos “medios inadecuados” a los que se refiere comienzan por el enfoque, una comprensión, una visión inexistente en la educación actual: la naturaleza oculta del ser humano.

Uno podría preguntarse si es realmente necesario, y lo es, porque justamente esa naturaleza oculta “encierra un potencial de futuro” Y educación es “sinónimo” de futuro.

Y comprender esa naturaleza oculta nos llevará a desarrollar una imagen de proceso evolutivo que por sí misma mostrará una teoría educativa, explica Steiner.

Es por esta razón que el libro comienza con la premisa de comprender cómo está constituido el ser humano, el niño, en su cuerpo etéreo como fuerza vital, cuerpo astral o emocional y el Yo como fuente del poder de “actuar conscientemente”.

Cómo va evolucionando de una envoltura a otra, con sus efectos físicos es lo que muestra Steiner para describir “tres nacimientos” que reconoce la ciencia Antroposófica en el ser humano en relación a la primera y segunda dentición.

Este reconocimiento de la ciencia espiritual aporta una real comprensión de lo que con frases vagas y generales se habla como “desarrollo armonioso de todas las facultades y dotes…”

Y enfatiza que no pueden servir de fundamento para un genuino arte de la educación, a menos que nazca de este auténtico conocimiento de la naturaleza humana.

Steiner continúa con la importancia del educador,de la imitación y el ejemplo en la etapa previa, el sentido y valor internos, y el uso de metáforas e imágenes, en la etapa siguiente, el cuidado sobre la “intelectualidad” y cómo adaptar los ambientes a los diferentes temperamentos. La actitud moral, el sentido estético, el plano del intelecto, se abordan acorde al desarrollo de cualidades anímicas.

Y nos da ejemplos sobre cómo crear imágenes reales, no conceptuales, sobre temas que podrían parecer abstractos, como la importancia del alma.

Pues la parábola habla no solamente al intelecto sino también al sentimiento y alma toda del niño.

Este libro tiene como intención enunciar algunos aspectos de una futura pedagogía, finaliza Rudolf Steiner, en la que se resolverán las contradicciones que plantea la civilización moderna y que “claman” por un fundamento del que a la larga no podrá prescindir y es el que puede aportar la Antroposofía.

Holden wins! Given that he’s pretty flush with cash (gee, Jim, how come the economy lets you have two sugar daddies?), actually, that makes sense.

Grayson Carlyle should think about that. Get a patron or two that likes your product and wants you to have a little walkin’ around money.

The music, the mixture and respect of various cultures, the magic, the freedom to decide one's own destiny, such are the pillars and flavours of Corto Maltese's youth in Cordoba. So, it is not so surprising that this modern Ulysses wanted to sail in quest of treasure, adventure, and free ways of thinking. His line of chance would not trace a destination, but a course in the book of intentions, an imperfect route of uninterrupted travel where enrichment comes from the diversity encountered along his way. While imposing harsh tests, Poseidon himself, the god of the sea, let Ulysses free to pursue his quest and finally complete the loop to reach a destination that is basically a return. In 'The Ballad of the Salt Sea', the Pacific Ocean will grant salvation to a mariner crucified on his destiny of freedom because, as the Egyptian director Youssef Chahine said in his film 'Le Destin (Destiny, 1997)', "Ideas have wings and no one can stop their flight."

What has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

(it's very long again, so the roundup is under the cut)

Franco Colapinto becomes a new Williams driver for the last 9 races of the season, Logan Sargeant was dropped with immediate effect

apparently Franco found out on Monday only and he knows he won’t get the seat in 2025 because Carlos has already been confirmed

as a result, Oliver Goethe moves up from F3 to F2 immediately with MP Motorsport in Franco’s place and Noah Stromsted drove in his place in F3 for Campos in the last race of the season in Monza

also gentle (not so gentle) reminder that Roman Staněk was with Trident for the last race weekend in Monza and everything after is uncertain for him

the whole story is: he has two main sponsors, one of them is his own father who decided to stop supporting him, so he can no longer afford it, he got an offer for 2025 from DAMS, but they ask for € 4.7 mil

Roman got replaced by Christian Mansell for the rest of the season (he is not related to Nigel btw) in Trident

Zak O’Sullivan is in a similar situation, Monza was his last race because of funding issues despite being a part of Williams driving academy, he got replaced by Luke Browning from F3

And on top of that, there are rumours that Richard Vershoor is also unhappy in the team and looking for a way out

Also since Kevin the icon he is, got a race ban for Baku, Ollie will step up for him and Gabriele Mini from F3 will fill in for Ollie in Prema to create an all Italian lineup for Italian team

Leo Fornaroli is stepping up to F2 with Invicta Racing next year

Ferrari announced a new technical structure: Loic Serra (technical director chassis), Fabio Montecchi (chassis project engineering), Marco Adurno (vehicle performance), Diego Tondi (aero), Matteo Togninalli (track engineering) and Diego Ioverno (sporting director and head of chassis operations), Enrico Gualtieri (power unit division)

Safety car crashed in Parabolica during a high speed test before Monza but both driver and passenger are ok and there was also another safety car ready if they are needed during the race weekend (what is concerning is a message I saw somewhere about it potentially being a brake failure)

apparently drivers were not very happy with the changes in Monza track and discussed it in length in the WhatsApp group, their main issue was that these track modifications are not communicated with drivers beforehand

last week George did Pirelli testing for Mercedes and Liam Lawson for Red Bull and Ollie did a wet weather test for Ferrari

also did you know Ollie has a younger brother who will race in EURO F4 in Spielberg

Lenovo becomes F1’s global partner, so they will have naming rights for 2 races in 2025

Pato O’Ward will be driving in an FP1 session in Mexico for McLaren

Williams started their Komatsu-Williams Engineering Academy for young talents

Maya Weug joined 7th round of FRECA in Imola with KIC Motorsport

Newey joined Aston Martin, so expect them to have big psychological advantage (they had a press con to announce it, he spoke about wanting to work with either Lewis or Fernando, he spoke about British bias and how it was involved in Abu Dhabi 2021…, he will start working for them early in 2025, he will also become a shareholder in the team with more rights than other teams could offer him besides being a leader of technical division)

Lawrence will apparently pay him massive amount of money (rumour has it it is Eddie Jordan who is asking for a big pay check for himself and many teams said no to that), after Newey and de la Rosa and Honda, he is also looking to sign Max Verstappen (and there is a possibility to get him in the team, Lance could head to WEC instead) – next thing you know he will also sign Christian Horner and Checo Perez to have a full RBR

Nico Rosberg, Guenther Steiner (and somebody else I freaking forgot, maybe Ted Kravitz) spoke about neither Kimi nor George having their seat secure for 2026, because Toto Wolff is still eyeing any opportunity to sign Max Verstappen

The team also sold stakes in the team to HPS and Accel

All teams were in compliance of the cost cap rules for 2023, BUT Honda and Alpine were found of procedural breech (aka none of them spent more money on catering, but these two made a mistake sort of not submitting the paperwork on time or filled incorrectly…)

Ella Lloyd is the wildcard entry for F1 Academy’s race weekend in Singapore

Red Bull junior academy signed Christopher Feghali, Ernesto Rivera, Rocco Coronel and Jules Caranta

Not only is the situation messy in junior series, it is also kinda messy in FE (Nato stays with Nissan while Fenestraz is out, Wehrlein and da Costa stay with Porsche, Günther will drive for DS Penske…)

Rumouredly, Val received an offer from Audi for one year, he was asking for more – at least 1+1 deal, besides him Binotto has Bortoleto highest on his list (and Theo Pourchaire further down the list) with McLaren potentially letting him go from their junior program if Audi wants him

Zak Brown spoke about the papaya rules shit and said how they will probably back Lando now because he is in mathematical contention for the title and Oscar will help him however he can and whatnot

Fun fact: in rally Greece, Seb Ogier spoke shit about Thierry Neuville that the “championship leader is not that fast) and then he crashed and Thierry won

For the first time ever, 4 women finished inside top 10 in NASCAR

James Vowles would apparently like Ferrari to release Carlos early so he could join them for post season test in Abu Dhabi

Santander is officially out of Ferrari with Unicredit taking their place and instead, they will become the partner of F1

Hyundai is ending in WRC next year and they would rumouredly like to join WEC

Ferrari Challenge will be a supporting series for the Las Vegas F1 GP

According to Ted Kravitz, Liam Lawson could be replacing Daniel as soon as for this weekend (that goes along what James Vowles said about trying to sign Liam for the rest of the season but Red Bull not wanting to let him go since they might need him for at least 3 races this season)

Nico the professional shit-stirrer he is, claimed that he got an offer in his e-mail inbox to buy Alpine for 1 billion dollars

Another fun fact: Ferrari already collected more points than they did for the whole season last year

Red Bull is running their engines on lower modes due to reliability concerns (part of the reason why Max had the lowest speed of all in a speed trap during the Monza GP)

All front wings are under compliance with the technical rules as per FIA (clarification that apparently Red Bull and Ferrari asked for, especially taking McLaren and Mercedes into consideration)

There is a funky feud for racing number 12 going on behind the scenes with Doohan asking for it first publicly and Mercedes asking for it for Kimi even before “secretly”, so now both teams are waiting for the result

This was meant to go into one of the previous roundups but F1 is talking to the teams to see if after season rookie race would be possible for them, which could give opportunity especially to driver who won junior series but never got into the sport

McLaren signed a sponsorship deal with NTT Data for their F1 Academy team

Also rumours and gossip from my fave source: Red Bull hired Rob Wilson to help Checo Perez get his lost form back (he is basically an observer, watches you drive and then gives you a long list of stuff you need to improve to get faster)

Williams got Globant sponsorship deal thanks to signing Franco for the rest of the season

Due to sustainability concerns, F1 might combine Canada and Miami to be a double header

There are also rumours that Ferrari tried to sign GP as a race engineer for Lewis next year

Non-sport fun

Oscar posted from a cockpit of a plane with a funny caption and then deleted because he posted it on 11th September

Max, Lando and Nico flew together to Baku for some reason

Charles won the karting marathon with his friends for LC8 team, spoke at yacht conferences and predicted weather

Lewis was sat with Noah Lyles and Anna Wintour at US open which is honestly kinda iconic

Charles and Goerge met up with Domenicali at what might be Briatore’s yacht party???

I just found out Kimi Antonelli’s girlfriend is from Czechia thanks to my sister lol

Hamda Alqubaisi from F1 Academy apparently got engaged so congrats!!!! (I thought she is like 16 I am so sorry Hamda)

Apparently Fernando Alonso got a new AM Valkyrie car that immediately broke down while he was driving it in Monaco and he was unable to fix it (he also said that they don’t get discounts on the cars from the team)

oh and kinda sports related but it is completely out of question right now BUT there is talks about F1 coming to Brno with the new resurfaced track and possible new facilities as they return on the MotoGP calendar for 2025
