TIK HOT VOL202

If you don’t come back tomorrow for more after seeing this, I honestly have no idea what else to do to hook you, make you crave it, or turn you into a regular. Between you and me, marketing was never my thing.

FIGHTING A FASCISM THAT ONLY EXISTS IN THEIR HEADS

Some people are obsessed with seeing fascism everywhere. They call it out in governments, laws, and pretty much any opinion they don’t like. “Fascist alert!” they cry. But real fascism, the textbook kind, is crystal clear: it’s all about force. About using the State as a weapon—extreme nationalism, a cult of personality, militarism, systematic suppression of freedoms, a single-party rule. And let’s be honest: that’s just not happening in Europe or the US today.

The irony? The only real violence I’m seeing comes from the very people claiming to fight fascism. They’re the ones yelling, pointing fingers, getting aggressive, and trying to shut you down if you don’t agree with them. And no matter how they dress it up, that reeks of authoritarianism too.

So when I see images like these from FEMEN, I can’t help but wonder: are they protesting something real, or just fighting a monster they made up in their heads?

FROM FREE HUGS TO FREE SEX

Remember the "Free Hugs" viral thing? That handwritten sign on a piece of cardboard, held by someone standing in the middle of the street, hoping some brave soul would go in for a little spontaneous affection. It became a full-blown phenomenon a couple of decades ago—a simple, feel-good gesture that, at the time, actually felt kind of revolutionary.

It all started with the “Free Hugs” movement back in 2004 in Australia, when a guy named Juan Mann hit the streets with his sign, just looking for a bit of human connection. It didn’t take long for the video to blow up on YouTube and turn into a symbol of hope, empathy, and human closeness—at a time when the world was already getting lost in screens and fast-paced routines.

A lot has changed since then. And while the cardboard + message + spontaneity combo is still around, let’s just say it’s taken a few… interesting turns.

THE NUDES OF GIOACCHINO DELL ERBA

Gioacchino Dell Erba, photographer and chef. Whether behind the camera or in the kitchen, he fully immerses himself in the expression of his creativity. For him, photography—both digital and analog—is a powerful tool that allows him to capture not just images but also emotions and deep narratives. Each shot is an opportunity to tell a story, to immortalize a unique moment that conveys a particular mood or feeling.

Both worlds, photography and gastronomy, share fundamental elements such as craftsmanship, patience, and meticulous attention to detail. In both fields, Gioacchino dedicates himself entirely to his craft, always striving for perfection in every creation while never losing sight of the beauty found in imperfection and the spontaneity of the moment.

TED TALKS

TED Talks (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) are those short but punchy presentations — usually under 18 minutes — where smart, interesting people share ideas they believe are “worth spreading.” And to be fair, a lot of them actually are.

They started back in the '80s as a half-tech, half-artsy kind of event, but really blew up in the 2000s when the talks were posted online for free. That’s when it all went viral. Now there’s TEDx — local versions popping up in cities everywhere, with speakers of all kinds: scientists, activists, artists, teachers, ex-cons, even kids.

The talks are super polished, both in content and delivery. Everything is packaged like it’s the idea that’ll change your life. Sometimes it is. Sometimes... not so much. But the format hooks you: good storytelling, clear messaging, and a closing punch that leaves you thinking (or reposting it to look deeper than you actually are).
