  3. Choejongbyeonggi Geunyeo (Lee Byung-hun, 2022) tiene acción, drama, romance entre dos adolescentes con la cabeza mal tapiada y un toquecito de surrealismo, protagonizada por una chica entrenada para ser la asesina perfecta (¿ecos de Nikita?)… pero que nunca ha matado a nadie, y un chico con traumas por superar, todo eso contenido en ocho capítulos de veintipocos minutos de duración. Menos predecible de lo que esperaba, con una narración que alcanza a decir lo necesario en poco espacio y un desconcertante cierre. Park Se-wan de protagonista, en un registro muy distinto al de su personaje en Seoul Busters.

    "Earlier this week, a Waukesha, Wisconsin, teenager and devotee of the Order of the Nine Angles, or ONA, was charged with murdering his mother and stepfather and plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump, in order to further the Order’s goals of a world plunged into chaotic violence. 'Jewish occupied governments must fall. The white race cannot survive unless America collapses,' the 17-year-old, Nikita Casap, wrote in a manifesto. 'Huge amounts of violence will be required.'

    He called himself a 'niner' (a Nine Angles devotee) and encouraged his imitators to read a variety of extremist books. In doing so, Casap drew on nearly a century of blood-drenched legacy in his pairing of violent death with a potent dose of magical thinking."

  8. How to Keep ICE Agents Out of Your Phone at the Airport

    If you’re traveling, follow these digital security practices to keep federal authorities from getting into your phone.

    Nikita Mazurov
    March 25 2026

    "With Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents deployed to more than a dozen airports across the U.S. and border device searches growing increasingly common, it’s more important than ever to consider your digital security before you travel.

    "The risks are real. Customs and Border Protection agents have the authority to examine travelers’ devices. In June, for instance, federal agents denied a Norwegian tourist entry to the U.S. after looking through his phone. (Authorities claim they turned him away for admitted drug use; he says it was over a meme depicting Vice President JD Vance as a bald baby.)

    "Immigration and Customs Enforcement have already started targeting travelers, with agents in plain clothes forcefully detaining a mother in front of her young daughter at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday after a tip from the Transportation Security Administration.

    "If you’re flying, take these steps to reduce the likelihood that your sensitive information is compromised at the airport."

  9. Was just reminded of #AnneBancroft and had no idea what particular movies I knew her from, just that the name screamed "famous! accomplished!" to me.

    Looked her up and ... only two stand out: The Graduate (which I've never actually gotten around to seeing) and Point of No Return (a US remake of Nikita with Bridget Fonda, known in Germany as "Codename: Nina").

    Also, her young face was unfamiliar to me, so I definitely only remember her later work.

    Weird what sticks with you.

  10. It is, thankfully, nearly the end of another month with Aprilness. Another ‘Autism Awareness Month’ – or as the ever-so-slightly-more enlightened have started to call it, ‘Autism Acceptance Month’. These are not labels chosen by the Autistic community (and here I deliberately use a capital ‘A’).

    This month of awareness- or acceptance-raising isn’t something any of us asked for. No, it was foisted upon us against our will, portrayed as being in our best interests (though we had no say in its conception). It is in reality a month-long advertising campaign for a multi-billion-dollar industry that can only survive as long as governments, funders, health professionals, teachers, parents and anyone else ‘affected by autism’ (ugh!) remain convinced that we who are actually Autistic have no real understanding and no real prospect of autonomy.

    Twitter banner designed by Nikita Engel to show Autistic pride, not just awareness or even acceptance

    As long as we are seen as less than fully human, parents will be persuaded (and in the US, even coerced by health insurance companies) to subject their Autistic children to ineffectual and hugely damaging behaviouralist ‘therapies’ such as ABA or PBS. This is especially the case for the marginalised among us: those who are unable to speak (but aren’t given the tools they need to communicate), those with learning disabilities, those who are Black, those who are physically disabled, those born into poverty.

    The intention of these so-called ‘therapies’ is to make children less embarrassing for their parents and wider society – to make Autistic people invisible, to make us seem ‘normal’. In the US in particular, it’s understandable that parents of Black and/or disabled Autistic children would want that. After all, deviations from socially mandated norms are severely punished there – far too often by lethal police overreactions.

    With autism? Or simply Autistic?

    As deeply concerning as the infliction of ABA/PBS on Autistic children is – and those who administer these are a big part of that multi-billion-dollar autism industry – I want to focus just now on language, and language in its relation to power.

    Within (English-language) disability activism, there are linguistic divides.

    Some are geographical or cultural, as in for instance the general use of ‘people with disabilities’ in the US versus the preferred ‘disabled people’ in the UK. (The English name of the CRPD, which ironically isn’t ratified by the US, is the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.)

    Some are associated with particular disabilities. For instance, although d/Deaf and blind people generally prefer identity-first language, people with learning disabilities (in the UK sense) tend to prefer person-first language.

    (Just as it’s respectful when talking to an individual to use whatever terms they use to describe themselves, when talking about a group of people it’s respectful to go with the majority preference of people within the group, or to mix and match if there’s no overwhelming preference. This ought to be obvious.)

    Some language variation differentiates professional researchers and clinicians from their experimental subjects and patients. This is the case when it comes to Autistic people.

    At this point, the ‘autism professional’, a person who actually works in ‘the field of autism’, usually weighs in to say, somewhat authoritatively, ‘We prefer to say “people with autism”.’

    And then a parent of an Autistic boy, having been made aware (!) by the ‘autism professionals’ – and probably never having knowingly spoken to an Autistic adult – chimes in, ‘My son isn’t autistic. He has autism. He’s a person first and foremost. His disability doesn’t define him!’

    Yet Autistic people in English-speaking countries overwhelmingly prefer to be called Autistic people (as evidenced by countless online polls, as well as research by autism professionals!). Many of us are proudly Autistic, and see it as so fundamental to who we are that we’d say, in many ways, being Autistic does define us.

    In the context of the neurodiversity paradigm, this makes a lot of sense. We have a substantially different neurotype from most other people, but it isn’t intrinsically inferior or deficient. (Indeed much talk of deficits in research about us is premised on the presumed superiority of the ‘neurotypically developed’ brain.)

    And, yes, we are disabled in various different ways. But within the social model of disability, this can be viewed largely as something done to us, by our maladjusted environment, rather than as something inherently wrong with us, or something we ought even to be ashamed of.

    The cruelty of person-first language

    The aforementioned stereotypical ‘autism parent’ (not Autistic parent) insisted, as do some ‘autism professionals’ (not Autistic professionals), that person-first language somehow prevents the child being ‘defined by their disability’ (or ‘by their autism’). Some will also say that person-first language reminds them that Autistic people are people!

    I find it astonishing that professionals working with Autistic people – and even parents of Autistic children! – need to be reminded of our personhood. I’d say they have bigger problems than phrasing if that’s their starting point. Alarmingly, for some of them, it probably is their starting point. Ivar Lovaas, a key figure behind both applied behaviour analysis and its sibling, LGBT+ conversion therapy, famously said in a 1974 interview:

    ‘You see, you start pretty much from scratch when you work with an autistic child. You have a person in the physical sense – they have hair, a nose and a mouth – but they are not people in the psychological sense. One way to look at the job of helping autistic kids is to see it as a matter of constructing a person. You have the raw materials, but you have to build the person.’ (Interviewed by Paul Chance in Psychology Today, January 1974, p.76.)

    There is nothing inherently respectful about person-first language when you’re talking about Autistic people, or disabled people in general. It doesn’t seem to remind the people we encounter that we are people too, with the same rights as they have, including bodily autonomy. If anything, some academics and clinicians use person-first language as a euphemistic power-play, designed to put us firmly in our place, pathologising our natural way of being and patronising us at the same time.

    Thanks to Beth Wilson for letting me use their identity-first-language cartoon here!The stigma of ‘autism’

    Why is there this reluctance to let someone just ‘be Autistic’? Why do some people jump in and say, ‘don’t let it define you!’?

    Well, some people come straight out with it, and compare being Autistic to having something like cancer. (Yes, people really do say that to justify their use of language: ‘You wouldn’t call someone “a cancerous person”, would you?’). These are usually the same people looking for a ‘cure’ for autism. (That’s another big money-spinner in the autism industry, alongside trying to make sure people like us are never born. Eugenics went out of fashion with the Nazis, but now it’s back – and so are they.)

    So it basically boils down to the thought that being Autistic is somehow a tragedy or a curse, something that should be spoken of, if at all, in the hushedest of hushed tones. And in a take every bit as bad as Lovaas’s opinion that we’re not born as people, far too many parents of Autistic children imagine that there’s a ‘normal’ child trapped inside by this terrible thing called ‘autism’. You might think I’m exaggerating, but as recently as 2009, a well-known and very well-funded US autism charity (almost universally reviled by Autistic people) produced an absolutely horrific TV ad promoting this view – ⚠️ massive content warning for ableism and much else! Read the transcript if you wish, but I won’t link directly to the terrifying ad.

    People naturally want to distance themselves (and their loved ones) from terrible things, and in English, person-first language is one strategy for doing that for things that people suffer from. We do in fact talk about people who have cancer, and talk about them battling it, despite the fact that it’s actually just their bodies developing in an undesirable way thanks to a chance mutation. But even cancer-sufferers can usually distance themselves from the affected parts of their bodies – and indeed wish to be without those parts. They don’t normally think that they’d be somehow less themselves without them.

    On the other hand, there’s no part of my body that I can point to and say, ‘There it is! There’s my autism!’ It’s an intrinsic part of who I am. It’s the way my brain developed, and probably (given the co-occurrence of various physical conditions) the way much of the rest of me developed too. Without getting deeply into philosophical arguments about the nature of personhood, I think I can safely say that if I wasn’t Autistic, I wouldn’t be me. It’s my way of being in the world.

    So I’m not sure what this thing is that I’m supposed to have, but clearly it’s supposed to be bad, something to be suppressed, or even removed from my system if possible, something I’d have been better off not having had in the first place. What people like those from the US autism charity are hiding behind with their person-first euphemisms is that they see me as bad, they think I should act more like them, or even be changed into one of them, they think it would have been better if I hadn’t been born.

    The thing is, I am very happy with who I am. I don’t want to be anyone else. Yes, I consider being Autistic in an environment tailored to neurotypical people’s needs to be disabling at times. Aside from that, I have weaknesses and strengths just like anyone else. And I am a human being, and I have the right to be me, regardless of how badly I might fit into the cookie-cutter capitalist machine.

    We need to stop talking about ‘autism’

    The world’s problems can’t be solved just by tweaking the language we use to talk about things. But language that frames things unhelpfully can be a barrier to seeing a way forward. As long as we talk about autism awareness or autism acceptance or autism anything, our language obscures what we’re talking about, which is actually Autistic people (or Autistics, or Autists). Funny how person-first language can make you forget that!

    The problem is that ‘autism’ is an abstraction away from Autistic people to something that we seemingly have in common (though we are quite diverse too).

    Abstractions can be useful, but in everyday speech we usually prefer concreteness. A Black feminist academic may develop a thesis turning on the social idea of Blackness, which is clearly an abstraction away from the idea of being Black. But Black people in everyday speech don’t talk about themselves as having Blackness, or even about their Blackness affecting how they’re treated in a racialised context. That level of abstraction isn’t usually the easiest way to think about things.

    Part of the problem here (linguistically) is that while abstract nouns like Blackness, femaleness, ethnicity and womanhood are clearly derived from adjectives (Black, female and ethnic) or concrete nouns (woman), the noun autism appears to fall in the class of (less obviously derived) -ism nouns denoting pathological conditions – rheumatism, alcoholism and so on – which have derived adjective/noun forms ending in -ic (autistic, rheumatic, alcoholic). (There are also derived -ism words, but most of these denote ideologies and ideology-like concepts: capitalism, Marxism, colonialism and so on.)

    If we as Autistic people want full acceptance as a neurominority with the same worth, rights and dignity as any other group, I propose we stop using the name of the so-called condition we’re all supposed to have, ‘autism’. When someone talks about ‘autism awareness’, let’s not push for ‘autism acceptance’ or ‘autism understanding’. No, we are Autistic. And if someone wants to write a sociological paper on the shared understanding of Autistic people, let them coin a new term, one that is clearly derived from the adjective (or concrete noun) we use to describe ourselves: Autisticness or Autisticity perhaps? Let’s be proud of our way of being in the world. Don’t let others define us!

  12. Paris World Summit of Conscience, International interfaith gathering #2

    Mobilization of conscience on a global scale that will enable humanity to meet this great challenge confronting us.

    Continuation of Paris World Summit of Conscience, International interfaith gathering #1

    Being aware that 2015 is a dramatic year for making key choices for Humanity the pre-meeting in Paris called for us to to reinvent how we tackle the major challenges that face us and our planet. This calls for new ways of living and acting.

    Filipino environmentalist and Senator Loren Legarda said:

    “I come from a country that is 0.3 percent emitter of carbon in the world and yet we are one of the most vulnerable nations as you have seen and witnessed with Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. Being a vulnerable nation that is not the cause of this vulnerability, we hope that the Philippines will be the first to show the outcome of this Summit,”

    As a notable advocate of Climate Change Awareness having numerous achievements in the fields of social development and human rights advocacy on her palmares, chairing the Senate committees on Environment and Natural Resources, and Climate Change, she stated her commitment to launch a Summit of Consciences for the Climate in the Philippines.

    “I will write a memo to President Benigno Aquino III and we will initiate and launch in all the cities and municipalities, barangays, and state universities and colleges all over the country our own Summit of Consciences for the Climate,”

    she said.

    M. Kofi Annan, Chair of “the Elders”, Chairman of the “Kofi Annan Foundation”, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, who was greatly blessed by the birth of a third grandchild, which caused him to reflect on the world as he has known it and how it may look by the time this child would reach his age.

    It was a sobering moment. I know that if action is not taken immediately to stop and reverse current climate trends, my grandson will live in a world where the average global temperature could be several degrees higher than when I was a child. The result will be suffocating heat waves, severe droughts, disastrous floods, and devastating wildfires. Entire regions would experience a catastrophic decline in food production. Glaciers and ice sheets would disappear, leading to rising sea levels – drowning cities such as New York or Venice and small island states.

    This brings to mind what Nikita Khrushchev said when reflecting on the impact of a potential nuclear war:

    “the living will envy the dead”.

    He stressed that

    “The earth is not ours; it is a treasure we hold in trust for our children. We must be worthy of that trust.”

    We well be close to reaching the tipping point beyond which man-made climate change risks denying many children and their generation the right to a healthy and sustainable planet, we should know it is no science fiction, no movie and certainly not too late to take action.

    Climate change is a challenge, which can and should be confronted. The history of humanity is a story of ingenuity when faced by grave threats.

    It is good to hear that we already have success stories to inspire us and that since the the 1980s, when satellite photos revealed a massive hole in the ozone, already several steps are taken in the good direction.

    Africa is already experiencing the damaging impact of climate change; yet no region has done less to contribute to global warming than Africa.

    In 2012, Sub-Saharan Africa – without South Africa – emitted only 2 per cent of total global
    greenhouse gas emissions. So it is unfair of our industrialised capitalist countries not to avoid that climate change will turn vast areas of productive land in Africa into dust
    bowls, creating widespread hunger and mass displacement of rural populations.

    Also in the talks at the Vatican was it made clear that our way of polluting and industrialising plays a big role how the life chances of people are. It is reprehensible how certain concerns like Nestlé go to take away the drinking water in India and South America to sell it at a high price in our regions. Having more places where lack of water, to much drought or dryness makes wastelands, creates increased competition and conflicts over arable land and fresh water amongst local communities and provokes tensions between states.

    Though Kofi Annan thinks there is hope:

    But by tapping into its vast potential of renewable energy, Africa can boost economic growth, create jobs, and avoid the high-carbon pathway that has brought the world to the brink of catastrophe.

    His Excellency M. Michael Higgins, President of Ireland finds that climate change is the great challenge of our time, already challenging most severely those already poor, for whom, if we do not act, it will deliver devastation.

    Ours may be the final generation with the opportunity to effectively respond to the now urgent effects of climate change.

    he says, finding this year marking a defining moment for the future of humanity.

    In this year 2015 we will decide on what must be a shared universal response to climate change – and on a practical agenda for action.
    We will also this year decide on what should be sought as ‘development’ in the wake of the Millennium Development Goals, in response to global poverty and increasing global inequality.

    The meetings in Addis Ababa, New York, Italy and again here in Paris, taken together, constitute a sequence of proximate and interlinked moments where the governments of the world are confronted with urgent choices, choices that cannot be avoided and may give us some positive expectations knowing that several people who have something to say, are listened at by those in power in different states all over the world.

    From previous debates and summits we have learned that we may not be too optimistic but have to be realistic, knowing that lots of ego‘s have to be convinced of the necessity to put the hands together and to join forces.
    Leaders and their representatives the last few years have been presented with enough research documents by scientists and by enough opportunities to construct a new
    order for humanity and for our planet.

    The political and technical decisions that are to be made over the coming months may be complex, but ultimately the great challenges of our time are ethical and intellectual in their nature. It is especially fitting then, that we have been offered this opportunity by President Hollande to consider what are questions of conscience, of inter-generational justice, and that we do so here in Paris, a city at the heart of a great French intellectual tradition.

    said Mr. Higgins.

    Those in charge of governments should put their own ego and their political party’s ego aside and should listen more to specialised people. They must begin with an acceptance of the evidence of science. For the Irish president it is now clear that failure to respond to the scientific reality of climate change may ultimately lead to the destruction of life
    on our planet.

    We must therefore unequivocally reject the position of those who would obscure the scientific reality of climate change in their protection of any narrow and short-term self-interest. The first ethical test is in accepting that there can be no compromise with truth.

    Those valuable intellectual and spiritual contributions we have seen coming into the open for the general public, should not only inform that public but also inform a new ethical framework on which a new harmonious and sustainable paradigm not only of  development, but of true security, can be built, hopes the Irish president.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger, President and founder of R20 says:

    “This year alone we will dump 40bn tonnes of carbon emissions into our atmosphere. The World Health Organization says that air pollution causes over 7 million premature deaths every year and all over the world we can see flooding, monster storms, droughts and wild-fires that are completely out of control.”

    “When it comes to moving the world to a sustainable, low-carbon, clean energy future, I believe the Science is in, the debate is over and the time for action is now. But despite clear scientific evidence and overwhelming support of the people, our national and global leaders are failing to seriously combat climate change. That’s why I have made a clean energy future my mission through the R20, just as I have done with Physical fitness for decades. And I strongly believe that religious and faith leaders can demonstrate in their respective pilgrim cities that this better future is possible, inspiring hundreds of millions of pilgrims to take action, just like Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi inspired human rights revolutions.”

    Prince Albert of Monaco finds that our mobilization proceeds from a personal journey which falls under our profound choice, meaning we want to give to our existence.

    What we do, how we live, will have consequences for our children and those who come after them. The work committed by the different groups all over the world should get the world leaders to think and should get it also to them to allow each browse the turn, giving the intellectual, material and moral of understanding through education, information, training, tirelessly alerting our contemporaries. Giving them concrete prospects for change, progress and hope, according to the prince.

    David Nussbaum, CEO of WWF-UK, having gained two theology degrees (though not sure those count as ‘spiritual achievements’!), and Chair of the international WWF Network’s Global Climate and Energy Initiative.

    David Nussbaum, CEO of WWF-UK, grew up on a rural university campus, and had annual holidays in the hills of north Wales – so the natural world was usually close at hand.  For him

    Some theological study of eschatology pointed me to renewed creation (rather than merely ethereal existence) as the end vision.  Years later, working in the packaging industry, we were getting to grips with the need for more recycling and improving the environmental credentials of our processes and products.

    Working subsequently for Oxfam, I saw at first hand the dependence of people living in poverty on their immediate natural environment. Connecting this to biblical themes of justice and stewardship creates an imperative to action – recently captured in the papal encyclical ‘Laudato Si’ – ‘On Care for our Common Home’.

    Cardinal Peter Turkson, Ghanaian president of the Vatican’s Pontifical council for justice and peace, who helped Pope Francis write the encyclical on human ecology published last month, said that the climate is a common good. The pope had asked the unprecedented ecological statement should be seen as an appeal for responsibility and a moral challenge to the global indifference to climate change.

    “It is a global common meant for all but the costs are being borne by those who have least contributed to it.

    This is something what we cannot overlook. We in the ‘West’ have lived like everything was at our disposal and could use everything nature provided, like nothing. Living in industrialised countries we should take our responsibility, and as I said in previous postings, we should be very careful what resources we use and from where we get our products at what cost.

    The cardinal gave as message:

    “At stake now is the wellbeing of the earth, our common hope. What we need is care. When we care for something it is with passion and commitment of the heart. That’s why Pope Francis called for care of the earth. A sense of passion is needed.”

    It is now up to politicians and those responsible for great industrial concerns to show the world how they are concerned and how much they care.

    Concerto pianoforte a quattro mani con Duo Soro (Angela Gennaro e Pedro Robert, pianoforte)

    Nato nel 2023, il duo Soro è una promettente formazione cameristica nella scena musicale classica. Angela e Pedro si sono conosciuti negli anni del Conservatorio dove hanno scoperto una connessione artistica speciale e un interesse comune per il pianoforte a quattro mani. Hanno realizzato numerose presentazioni in Italia e all’estero, esibendosi recentemente per la stagione concertistica 2025/26 della Fundacion CorpArtes nel prestigioso Teatro CorpArtes a Santiago del Cile e per l’inaugurazione della scorsa stagione alla Martha Music House Academy a Palermo.

    Pedro Robert si è laureato col massimo dei voti alla Universidad Católica de Chile, poi al Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Torino e successivamente al Royal College of Music di Londra, dove ha conseguito il Master in piano performance. Ha studiato sotto la guida di Claudio Voghera, Enrico Pace, Alexander Romanovsky e Danny Driver. Lungo la sua carriera ha ricevuto diversi premi e riconoscimenti, è stato borsista della De Sono associazione per la Musica, di FONDART (Ministero delle arte e la cultura del Cile) e della Fondazione di Amici del Teatro Municipal di Santiago. 

    Angela Gennaro si è laureata presso il conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Torino sotto la guida dei Maestri Daniela Carapelli e Giacomo Fuga. Si è esibita per diverse realtà italiane e straniere partecipando al VII festival “Lo Matta Cultural 2024” e alla VI edizione di “Tertulias Musicales” a Santiago del Cile. Ha frequentato corsi di perfezionamento e masterclass con Alexandar Madzar, Nikita Fitenko e Christa Butzberger. Allo studio del pianoforte ha affiancato esperienze corali presso il coro Artemusica e orchestrali, in qualità di clarinettista, nella Cororchestra del Piemonte. Dal 2018 al 2020 è stata assistente dei docenti delle classi di pianoforte 2° strumento al Conservatorio di Torino. Attualmente entrambi i musicisti affiancano alla docenza attività concertistica solistica, in duo e in trio.

    #FutoVoice zum Offline-Transkribieren von Podcasts und Sprach-Memos?

    Wir hatten und ja schon über #FUTO Voice ausgetauscht.

    Ich suche nun wieder mal dringend ein Tool auf Android, mit dem ich zumindest #Sprachmemos, besser auch Podcasts, offline transkribieren kann (voice recognition).
    Ich dachte, ich hätte das Einlesen einer Sounddatei in FUTO schon mal hinbekommen gehabt, finde jedoch nun nichts mehr. :(
