Italy's most controversial interview.
On 14 March 2001, on Daniele Luttazzi's TV programme 'Satyricon', the presenter interviewed the journalist Marco Travaglio (now director of Il Fatto Quotidiano) about his latest book, 'The Smell of Money', which investigated the mysterious origin of Silvio Berlusconi's fortunes, his links to the Mafia and the real motives behind the birth of Forza Italia.
The following week, the programme was suspended and, shortly afterwards, cancelled. Luttazzi, together with Enzo Biagi and Michele Santoro, other journalists hostile to Berlusconi, were dismissed from RAI the following year.
Silvio Berlusconi sued Luttazzi and Travaglio for the contents of the book and interview, demanding tens of millions of euros in compensation, but lost all the lawsuits.
Oli ilo jakaa ajatuksia talouden ja kulttuuriin suhteesta, kiitos @TYlehti!
Talouden ja kulttuurin suhde on nykyisellään liian heiveröinen, @marcolsteinberg toteaa.
”Onko "luovuus" tapa tehdä nykyisestä järjestelmästä kuluttajaystävällisempi vai onko se strateginen kyky muuttaa talouttamme ohjaavia periaatteita perusteellisesti?” labore.fi/t&y/talouden-on-ot…

Last May, as part of our Wargaming week with @NATO_ACT, we ran a mega-game about NATO-Russia conflict over Finland. @tomlamont from the Guardian was there to watch it unfold. Over the weeks, I’ll outline all nine games involved in the event theguardian.com/politics/202…
this (and "The Santiago Boys") is very relevant to design and strategic designers- Thanks Evgeny for this great body of work the-santiago-boys.com/?s=08
Before empty signifiers like "design thinking" hijacked the minds of designers & technologists, there was also the possibility of situated political design - one attuned to geopolitical and geoeconomic context. Gui Bonsiepe, working in Allende's Chile, outlined it as follows:

Our government's rebranding-Finland strategy is gaining momentum. Italian newspaper @Corriere headlines
"3 scandals in 42 days, all tied to racisms"
suggesting latest scandal a great opportunity for PM @PetteriOrpo "to prove his zero tolerance on racism"

below a good summary thread on the sad state of affairs in Finland.
Hopefully current events help us better see + address the disconnect between how we like to portray ourselves (nordic egalitarians) and the messy & ugly reality.
1/🧵 Helsingin Sanomat, a leading Finnish newspaper, has today published an article that brings to light the racist messages of Minister Wille Rydman of Finns Party.
So, once again, let's explore the unfolding crisis within the Finnish government. hs.fi/politiikka/art-2000009…
New Finnish government closes the Prime Minister's Office analysis, assessment and research activities.
So much for knowledge-led politics. vnk.fi/en/government-s-analy…

It's out today. Grateful for joyful years of writing and learning from dogs, daughters, and people creating real change in our world. Get the “Slow Lane: Why Quick Fixes Fail and How To Achieve Real Change.” Foreword by the amazing @SlaughterAM. a.co/d/gvG7QpC #slowlane
Note to @FinGovernment
Racial discrimination is one of the most common forms of discrimination worldwide. 1 in 6 individuals globally faces discrimination based on various grounds.
The new #SDGReport emphasizes the urgent need for a Rescue Plan to reduce these inequalities.

Watching @YleAstudio tv debate with our new government in Finland. The performance of our new PM @PetteriOrpo & Finance Minister @ir_rkp was abysmal. Does not bode well for the country

Christopher Nolan doesn’t use detailed outlines.
Instead, he “draws shapes and diagrams and other structural things.”
Like this — the plot map Nolan used for Inception.
Here’s a breakdown:
We are not operating at the speed, scope, and scale of today's challenges

Sad but unsurprising conclusion "Experts say that the findings shine a light on the broader strategy to undermine and delay meaningful climate action."
