sta sul cazzo perché prende per il culo il perbenismo di sinistra e lo fa con la consapevolezza di una persona di sinistra che piace anche alle persone di sinistra. Quindi non c'è nessun motivo per cui non dovrebbe starti sul cazzo, ma dovresti riconoscere che la sua satira sociale è molto più sofisticata di quanto non sembri.
Checco Zalone è l'Ugo Fantozzi del tempo attuale:
1) Paolo Villaggio smascherava il finto progressismo della classe dirigente e la complicità obbligata delle vittime
2) Luca Medici smaschera il politicamente corretto delle élites e l'adesione pigra ad esso da parte di chi non ne capisce più il significato profondo eooriginario, ma lo professa lostesso per non sembrare stupido e rozzo.
Se ti sta sul cazzo, allora significa che puoi essere ancora salvato
@giorgiosarto non so se hai ragione tu, ma non hai tutti i torti sul paragone con Villaggio. Io per un paragone avrei pensato più a Sordi, ma Checco Zalone è molto più surreale e in questo somiglia molto a Fantozzi (o al Fracchia dei libri)

@informapirata Checco Zalone lo ritengo bravo, lo ricordo soprattutto a Zelig. I suoi film si possono vedere, ma non sono capolavori. Quelli di Sordi sono capolavori, ma Sordi era un Artista con la A maiuscala a tutto tondo.
Prendiamo il Marchese del Grillo, il personaggio è molto più profondo di un qualsiasi protagonista di Zalone.
Un film come un Borghese Piccolo Piccolo non lo potrà mai fare Zalone. Quindi per me è più vicino a Villaggio (che per me è più bravo).

Anche la falsa vicinanza alle idee progressiste fatta solo per convenienza, è come un foruncolo di quelli che ti scavano dentro. Pensi che ti stiano vicini e invece ti stanno usando. BISOGNA smuovere le radici, di questa pustola qua. E Zalone prova a farlo. A modo suo.
Io invece più di Zalone trovo antipatico Angelo Duro. Lì non percepisco comicità, è volgare. Sporco. Cerca la risata di pancia senza poi arrivare alla riflessione. Poi oh, se tipo a qualcuno fosse piaciuto sentir dare della putt... a una bimba piccola che urla...
Essere scorretti e la normalità nella stand up comedy, come ci hanno insegnato gli americani. Non devi stupirti che dia della putt*** a una bambina che piange, visto che quella trovata fa ridere proprio perché è un qualcosa che non si fa, è sbagliato sotto tutti i punti di vista e nessuna persona normale lo farebbe mai
@elettrona non sono d'accordo. Si può ridere di tutto, ma dipende se lo sai fare e dipende dal pubblico. Tutti i limiti sono superabili, ma bisogna avere il fisico e l'allenamento tecnico per farlo.
Angelo Duro si prova a superare il limite, ma non ha né il fisico né la tecnica per farlo e quindi può far ridere un teatro pieno di gente che viene là appositamente per ridere, ma non è un grande standup comedian

We intend to use Russian assets to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine for at least two more years. This step is not about prolonging the war, but about bringing the war to an end as soon as possible.
I believe this is a very important message, as it gives both Russia, Ukraine and USA a clear message, responding to Putin’s vague statements about “achieving his goals as long as it takes” with a specific tangible metric that may not look actually looks so optimistic from Russian side.

🇺🇲 The fiscal 2026 NDAA provides $800 million for #Ukraine - $400 million in each of the next two years - as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays U.S. companies for weapons for Ukraine's military.
It also authorizes the Baltic Security Initiative and provides $175 million to support Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia's defense.
Natural gas prices in Europe have all but returned to normal since Russia's full scale war in Ukraine. In fact, the only reason for the spike in 2021 and 2022 has been Russia's energy war against Europe, which started even before the full scale invasion of Ukraine. The numbers clearly say that.
It proves many things:
Russian energy was never cheap, neither politically nor economically.
Russian energy was always unreliable.

I thinking of uninstalling the excellent #Wordpress #ActivityPub Plugin and defederating my sites from the #Fediverse. For technical reasons only. CPU goes through the roof when new posts are boosted for the first time, causing 508 errors.
Does anyone else suffer from this problem and have any suggestions to lighten the load?
Maybe I’m overreacting and should just live with the minute or two of daily downtime?
I have Litespeed cache installed.
Affected sites: @dinotoyblog @blog@animaltoyforum.com @blog@monstertoyblog.com
Exactly. Maybe there are there some Litespeed settings I could tweak?
Thanks for your interest and help.
is this "only" a problem when you post new things?
so there is always the option to tweak the scheduling, to not send all pings at the same time. the only downside is, that this can take some more time until every of your follower receives the new post.
I will put it on the backlog.
idea: an option to chose between different scaling/load levels.
1. publish as fast as possible (high load)
2. reduce bulks and increase pauses between sending
3. take your time ☕️

@pfefferle Only when I post new things, but for each new post there are two CPU peaks associated with CPU faults. One when it is first published, then a larger one later when I (or someone else with a moderate following) boosts it directly on Mastodon.
Happy for pings to take their time. Thanks for looking into it, I’m also working through the suggestions as far as I’m able.
Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)
