First day with the new software.

2 autres petits copains sur lesquels jai compulsé pendant des heures de zenitude. J'adore mettre du fini. Vous ne le voyez pas tant sur les photos après mais sur celles avant vous pouvez voir qu'ils se sont pas nettoyés.

J'ai stabilisé le chaton et j'ai ajouté des plumes sur le dos de l'oiseau et je les ai signé aussi.

Me reste les fées qui vont attendre. J'ai besoin de créer 🤸‍♀️✨️

Heureux dimanche !

Il Tempo: Capezzone: gli zatteranti e l'ombra dei legami con Hamas

«Era già tutto previsto». No, non si tratta della canzone di Riccardo Cocciante, ma della mediocre chiassata inscenata dalla sinistra sul caso (prevedibilissimo, direi scontato) dell'ennesima «missione» della Flotilla.
Serve a poco che Elly Schlein e i suoi cari, rimasti praticamente muti sulle violenze del 25 aprile ai danni della Brigata ebraica, si siano messi a strillare come aquile gridando contro la presunta «pirateria internazionale» di Israele.

I comunicati fiammeggianti di Pd, Avs e soci assumono perfino un aspetto patetico se confrontati con le immagini dei preservativi e della droga sequestrati sulle barchette Pro Pal (il necessario per una festicciola sotto coperta), oppure con i video degli attivisti che fanno la verticale e qualche capriola sui materassini da yoga delle navi israeliane da cui – nel racconto amorevole della sinistra italiana–sarebbero stati «sequestrati».
Ora basta: sarebbe venuto il momento di comportarsi da persone serie. Il mondo è in fiamme, con due guerre in corso, una crisi energetica in atto ed una probabile recessione economica alle porte. Davvero vogliamo perdere tempo con le sceneggiate vittimistiche di chi sapeva perfettamente che la Marina israeliana avrebbe fermato la missione?

Del resto, erano stati ripetutamente avvisati: eventuali aiuti umanitari potevano essere consegnati attraverso i canali ufficiali che erano a disposizione degli «attivisti». Esattamente come l'altra volta, quando la Flotilla rifiutò ben tre opzioni di consegna (inclusa una che prevedeva un ruolo del cardinale Pizzaballa): perché in realtà voleva a tutti i costi l'incidente con Israele.
Semmai la rete internazionale degli zatteranti farebbe bene a rispondere alle domande che Il Tempo oggi torna a porre. Esistono membri della GSF (Global Sumud Flotilla), cioè del network transnazionale di riferimento, a carico dei quali pendono accuse di affiliazione o legami con Hamas. Trovate qui tuttala storia. Ci parlino di questo, e anche di chi finanzia l'operazione. Il resto è commedia.

Capezzone: The raft-makers and the shadow of ties with Hamas

“It was already all foreseen.” No, this isn’t the song by Riccardo Cocciante, but the mediocre uproar staged by the left on the case (predictable, I’d say, even sconted) of the Flotilla’s “mission.”

It’s pointless that Elly Schlein and her associates, practically silent about the violence of April 25th against the Jewish Brigade, started screaming like eagles against the alleged “international piracy” of Israel.

The blazing statements from the PD, Avs, and associates even take on a pathetic appearance when compared to the images of condoms and drugs seized on the Pro Pal boats (enough for a little party under cover), or with the videos of activists doing handstands and somersaults on the Israeli yachts from which – according to the Italian left’s loving account – they had been “seized.”

Enough is enough: it’s time to behave like serious people. The world is aflame, with two wars underway, an energy crisis in progress, and a possible economic recession on the horizon. Do we really want to waste time with the victim-obsessed theatrics of those who knew perfectly well that the Israeli Navy would have stopped the mission?

After all, they had been repeatedly warned: any humanitarian aid could have been delivered through the official channels available to the “activists.” Just like last time, when the Flotilla refused three delivery options (including one involving Cardinal Pizzaballa): because they really wanted the incident with Israel at all costs.

Meanwhile, the international network of rafts would do well to answer the questions that Il Tempo today is again posing. There are members of the GSF (Global Sumud Flotilla), i.e., the transnational reference network, facing accusations of affiliation or links with Hamas. You can find the whole story here. Tell us about this, and also about who funds the operation. The rest is comedy.

Gli zatteranti e l'ombra dei legami con Hamas

It went well! Friday night on Thames:

My live improv set was on a boat as part of NAUS #2, an intimate live electronics night curated by Stephen Shiell as part of his residency on board. Two others on the bill amazed me: Tom Hirst playing his self-built synth modules very smoothly! and Mohammed Rowe with feedbacky textures and transients using Max!

I was the final one. A classic: Mid-set my GameBoy running LSDJ tracker ran out of battery! But I spontaneously switched to SameBoy LSDJ emulator alongside my Cardinal patch and it was OK to keep improvising. Some of the audience sat around on the floor to see things happen up close, which I liked. I definitely was not sending emails from the stage :D

A proper reflective writing with full sounds and credits is on its way on my new blog elifyalvac.com/blog

But for now, two mini excerpts merged in this clip: Cardinal and LSDJ.

Thank you @dreamer and @falktx - Cardinal live first time on a boat on the Thames worked out! And thanks again @mosgaard for recommendations!
