Pippo Baudo was the most prominent Sanremo host. He even made the score #Sanremo2026 opened up with. His family is in the audience tonight, and this is our first festival without him
Now, as Carlo says, we pick up from where we left... aka, with Olly!

I don't post on Substack because I already have my own site where I post stuff, and have done for 27 years, and because Substack makes a lot of money off Nazis and fascists and I'd really rather not, thanks. I do have an account there but it's to secure my name. It has a cat photo.
LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not.

a photo of a brindle pittie with an almost entirely white face looking up at the camera adoringly. his ears are back so he looks extra seal-like, and the corners of his mouth curl up in a smile.
This is Larry Football. His human likes to sell things on Facebook Marketplace. Larry is always there to greet customers. Because every transaction should include a dog. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: Stephanie Sprowls)

haha no i’m fine
I checked this today, it’s seriously a godsend. I was thinking about building something like this myself but it’s already out there :D
Oh, this is neat.
I've mostly moved to RSS for newsletters, where possible. When not, there's kill-the-newsletter.com
That way, my email remains my mail and I can consume articles from a completely separate app.
oh that’s cool!!!
will look into it, thanks for the tip.
I got the news today in my mail and I’m over the moon. I’m someone that subscribes to so many newsletters because content FOMO, ma then has a hard time sifting through those to get to my important messages.
Love it.
If you're into fragrances, as I am, go to real perfumers. Some of my favs:
AbdesSalaam Attar: Self-taught Sufi perfumer who only uses natural ingredients. Many of his perfumes feel like you're walking through a Middle Eastern bazaar. Milano Caffe, Cuoio dei Dolci, and Tabac are worth a sniff.
Today I've published my 4th article of ricc-reads-the-news.netlify.app , blogging about Politics and Tech. This week it's all about this new DeepSeek, and how China got there.
Lady Minerva loves to go enjoy a summer rain shower!
Vultures = Clean!
They purify the environment by efficiently removing dangerous toxins (their digestive systems can neutralize anthrax, botulism, rabies, etc) and they spend a lot of time keeping clean themselves, too! 🪶

Minerva turned 42 this year!🎉
Did you know that vultures are such long lived birds?
Turkey vultures like Minerva can live into their 50s, and larger vultures like Andean Condors can make it into their 60s and 70s, possibly even older than that! 🪶

a gray hairless gremlin squints at the camera with the look of a bad motherhecker. she’s scowling, but wearing a pink fleece jumper with cherries printed all over. the cognitive dissonance is strong. upon further inspection, this may just be a hairless chihuahua, but you can’t blame us for the misunderstanding.
We only rate dogs. This is Samuel L. Jackson in a cute sweater and a bad mood. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10
a tan cocker spaniel is being held by their human like a toddler over their shoulder. the pup smiles toward the camera. the back of the green 'tell your dog i said hi' shirt displays a sleeping dog in a summery scene featuring a big wave and moon.
This is Kiara. She's here to announce that our summer collection of 'tell your dog i said hi' designs is officially here! Shop now through the link below ☀️

a tiny white fluffy pomeranian is belly-up in a person’s lap. she looks a little nervous, and her front paws are being held in the person’s hands. all four paws have the teensiest little black toe beans, each one small and perfect. she’s got nothing to worry about.
This is Miso. She is reporting for her weekly paw inspection. All toe beans are accounted for and are as teeny tiny as ever. Inspection passed with flying colors. 12/10 (IG: lifewith_miso)
A teeny tiny brown floofy pup looks sassy as he is held by a medical professional in a clinic.
Scotty is embraced by his new forever mama on a sunny day.
The pup smiles with his silly tongue hanging out of his mouth on a beautiful day. He is wearing a cute team harness and a matching leash.
This is Scotty. He’s a little guy with bad behavioral problems. With your help, he was able to enter a specialized training program to work on that. Through positive reinforcement, he's made incredible progress. He's now happily adopted — and will continue working with his trainer, who adores him ❤️🩹
a poorly drawn cat with black spots resembling ghostface from the scream movies
a white cat with black markings on its head and ears, lying stretched out on a concrete surface at night. the black spots on its head resemble the ghostface mask from the scream movies
what’s your favorite scary movie?
This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying
wear a respirator mask and dont put anything besides water or saline in your eyes if you get sunscreen or riot control agents in them
