Il Tempo: Conte, ipocrisia a 5 stelle. Pizzicato a pranzo con l'inviato di Trump...

Un'ipocrisia a 5 stelle quella di Giuseppe Conte, alias "Giuseppi", che dopo mesi di attacchi politici contro la Casa Bianca è stato pizzicato nel corso di un pranzo con Paolo Zampolli, imprenditore italo-americano nominato da Trump come "inviato speciale in Italia per le partnership globali". Un incontro, riportato dal quotidiano Libero, che sta sollevando polemiche sulla duplice natura di Conte: prima in furia contro il presunto vassallaggio verso Washington e poi in veste diplomatica che incontra riservatamente suoi esponenti.
"Di giorno anti americano e pacifista, di notte incontra uomini di fiducia del presidente Trump. Ecco il vero volto di Giuseppe Conte: opportunista e incoerente" lo stuzzica Forza Italia, in un post social su X.
L'ex premier ha però risposto a Mario Sechi, direttore di Libero, negando la riservatezza dell'incontro che sarebbe avvenuto su richiesta di Zampolli stesso: "Quale leader di un partito di opposizione ho ritenuto di accettare l'invito a questo incontro e non avendo segreti di sorta ho preferito io stesso che avvenisse in un luogo pubblico, in un ristorante del centro di Roma". Curioso, per il segretario di un partito che spinge costantemente verso la rottura politica con gli Usa. Ma tant'è, e Conte sottolinea di aver detto quello che pensava a Zampolli raccomandosi di riferirlo a Trump: rifiuto alla guerra, all'utilizzo delle basi, sì al diritto internazionale. Evidentemente, l'occasione migliore era farlo in un pranzo riservato.

Count, five-star hypocrisy. Snapped up for lunch with Trump’s envoy…

It’s a five-star hypocrisy of Giuseppe Conte, alias “Giuseppi,” who was caught during a lunch with Paolo Zampolli, an Italian-American businessman appointed by Trump as “Special Envoy to Italy for Global Partnerships.” An encounter, reported by the newspaper Libero, which is raising controversy about Conte’s dual nature: first furious against the alleged subservience to Washington and then in a diplomatic capacity meeting with his own officials.

“From day to day anti-American and pacifist, but at night he meets trusted men of President Trump. Here is the real face of Giuseppe Conte: opportunist and inconsistent,” Forza Italia teases on social media on X.

The former prime minister responded to Mario Sechi, editor of Libero, denying the confidentiality of the meeting, which took place at Zampolli’s request: “As leader of an opposition party, I considered it appropriate to accept the invitation to this meeting, and having no secrets whatsoever, I preferred to have it take place in a public place, in a restaurant in the center of Rome.” Curious, for the secretary of a party that constantly pushes for a political break with the U.S. But it’s okay, and Conte emphasizes that he said what he thought to Zampolli, urging him to report it to Trump: refusal of war, the use of bases, yes to international law. Evidently, the best opportunity was to do it at a private lunch.

These are not the #Republicans of my youth - back when this level of bigotry was considered extreme. Did #Reagan's 11th Commandment remove a facade, allowing the #bigots to emerge?

If anyone wants to take part in an anti-war movement from an otaku perspective, they’re free to do so.
But anti-war sentiment isn’t the consensus view of all otaku, nor is it a requirement for being an otaku; and certainly, we’re under no obligation to listen to ‘those sort of people’ lecturing us with statements like ‘if you don’t take part in the anti-war movement, you’re not an otaku’.
That goes without saying.

Excited to be collaborating with two friends for this performative Hot Glass Hangout at Urbanglass on Friday, September 3rd, from 6-8. Its now less than a week away!

https://makertube.net/w/8so2baXj4s5QEFhpmEQY7J

That is a video of the plotter I use- a vinyl cutter that I put paper and a refillable paint pen in to make a big bold line drawing robot.

Find out what the pattern says by going to the hot glass hangout at Urbanglass in Brooklyn, (NYC) on April 3rd, 6-8pm. Free and open to the public with light snacks and some things for sale. Its a fun time, there might be some audience interaction, will be some light snacks and things for sale, and my friend Alex will be on a microphone explaining the glassblowing things happening.

Dale Chihuly once put a bunch of neon in blocks of ice. We gave it a try. Partially frozen with water on the top and my hand didn't get any zappy current :)
