'First' sunbeams.

On the Road

Too misty for a caption.

No title needed

Friday is Skyday

Out of focus.

Hello World.

Our lovely grandchild
as she / he looked like tonight,
four past eight p. m.

Grazie, Maestro!

Today, on the – shhhh :) – xth birthday of my dear friend Giulio, another wonderful Milanese died: Claudio Abbado. Thankfully and with deep respect I am bowing to a noble character and extraordinary artist.  

Nothing to worry

Flickering candle
going to die very soon.
Nothing to worry.

Friday is Skyday

What sunset, said I.
There will be rain tomorrow,

Fuckwits, basically, are fuckwits

A "fuckwit" is a person who has consistently failed to obtain any degree of 'clue'.

To cut it even shorter:

Fuckwits, basically, are fuckwits.

Who would have thought

Seven studies using experimental and naturalistic methods reveal that upper-class individuals behave more unethically than lower-class individuals. In studies 1 and 2, upper-class individuals were more likely to break the law while driving, relative to lower-class individuals. In follow-up laboratory studies, upper-class individuals were more likely to exhibit unethical decision-making tendencies (study 3), take valued goods from others (study 4), lie in a negotiation (study 5), cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize (study 6), and endorse unethical behaviour at work (study 7) than were lower-class individuals. Mediator and moderator data demonstrated that upper-class individuals’ unethical tendencies are accounted for, in part, by their more favourable attitudes toward greed.
