Adam may be the first man, but he will never be as iconic as Ron Swanson

On the May 22 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, guest Patton Oswalt says Jon Favreau told him he intentionally referenced the famous Parks and Recreation filibuster scene for a moment in "The Book of Boba Fett"

To double check, we've paired the two together and it's spot on

Elon Musk, language courses and questionable fashion from 2013 (21st of January 2025)

Dear reader, it's been days where I wanted to write something about my life in Finland, but not much is happening and sadly something is stealing my attention.

I won't lie. I'm overwhelmed with fear when I see Elon Musk doing what he did yesterday. I'm Italian, this brings out the darkest memories of my country and it's so scary seeing someone embracing it.

I wonder where the empathy of people like Musk is, when did something break in people like him? I saw a post of him proudly defending Tesla on X (not hard to respect other's name changing, right?) from some homophobic BS back in 2018 and now? Is it really all about money? I feel like at some point in his life, he found himself once having an unpopular opinion about LGBTQ+ folks, and then his phone sent him down an affirmation bias tunnel of similar information until he started simply hating. Basically, what could have happened with J.K. Rowling. When she said her first bitter words towards trans women, somebody should have said: "Sweetie, this opinion is kind of problematic. And I don't want to insult you by saying this, but I want to help you elaborate." And maybe now, she'd still be the inclusivity ally she was supposed to be once. And maybe Elon Musk himself would be kinda better. Do opinions really go hand-in-hand with money? And what is going to happen with LGBTQ+ rights all around the world?

I'm not able to give you data and political elaborations, consider this a vent. Carrie Bradshaw has at least once vented in her column, right? So I'll do the same on my very cool Tumblr blog.

Why do people need to hate, cut out, gatekeep, and make life harder for others? And... why can't people read, form their own opinions, and stop polluting the world with bitterness? I say this to the supporters of Musk, I say this to the HRs that leave me on read, the HRs that happen to be Musk supporters. And if you are an HR and you'll find this blog of mine: you've been digging too far, hire me and you won't regret it, I promise.

I wonder where we'll all move if Meta becomes a bit too much. Tumblr? Bsky? MySpace?

Also, just to turn into a bit of a lighter conversation, as we were on a podcast: I predict all the aesthetics related to 2013 to be back. We need "ObamacOre" apparently. We need Tumblr, we need Marina (& the Diamonds), the galaxy backgrounds I have already mentioned, Tumblr, fake hipster moustache painted on fingers, questionable fashion, Miley Cyrus with short hair and songs like "Hands in the Air," "Hunger Games," and... we can't go back in time, right? We also need series like "Parks and Recreation." We totally do.

As I was elaborating again my words, I received a message. Apparently, soon I'll start an advanced course of Finnish so I can have broader chances at finding a job! I couldn't be happier. It's relieving in some way. What's tricky about Finland is that I need to work, but I also need to learn Finnish to be able to work. Until then, I guess, it will be like my graduation meant nothing, my experiences meant nothing, and here it is, the inclusive but tricky Finnish world.

I am still grateful, in many contexts people migrating to Italy are left to themselves when it comes to learn, and sometimes they have to find themselves the courses and context to experiment inclusion and become active citizens. Maybe I'm too critical with myself, but I hope this doesn't come off as too generic, you know what I mean?

I've gotta go now. It's time for a snack! Take care and stay well covered, Nicola
