July 19, 20241 yr Italian officials slam tourist who ‘mimicked sex acts’ on a statue of Bacchus in Florence Quote Italian officials are trying to identify a young woman who was filmed kissing, humping and grinding against a statue of Bacchus, the god of wine and sensuality, in Florence over the weekend. The country’s culture ministry and officials in Florence have expressed their fury over the incident after pictures went viral on social media, with the Florence mayor’s office calling it an act that "mimicked sex.” Florence City Hall said the tourist had not been identified yet and suggested that she was "presumably in a state of inebriation.” They said that if identified, she would be fined and could be banned from the city for life, in line with an ordinance that prohibits any sort of abuse of cultural heritage in the country. The statue is a replica of the original created in the 16th century by sculptor Giambologna, who was influenced by Hellenistic sculpture and the works of Michelangelo and who settled in Florence in 1552. His original Bacchus is kept in the Bargello Museum in the center of Florence. The replica stands on a street corner near the Ponte Vecchio bridge. The act has sparked a wide range of reaction on social media platform X – from outrage to ironic amusement. The eternal unruly tourists Misbehaving tourists have been plaguing Italian authorities for years now. Back in 2022, a man was charged after a Maserati was driven down Rome’s famed Spanish Steps. That same year, tourists were fined for surfing up Venice’s Grand Canal. In 2023, a group of young tourists posing for pictures to post on social media were accused of toppling a valuable statue at a villa in northern Italy. Back in Florence in the same year, a tourist was detained, accused of damaging a statue in the 16th-century Fountain of Neptune in the Piazza della Signoria.

July 23, 20241 yr Mexico City police chief shot dead in ‘drug cartel hit’ Milton Morales Figueroa reportedly killed by gunmen while enjoying a family day out Mexico City’s head of intelligence and police operations has been gunned down in an apparent drug cartel hit. Milton Morales Figueroa, 40, is reported to have died instantly in a hail of bullets in the town of Coacalco, just north of the Mexican capital, on a family day out on Sunday. He was hit at least twice in the head when gunmen jumped out of two SUVs with darkened windows which had suddenly pulled up as the police commander and relatives stopped at a small supermarket in a residential street. Two other people were reportedly injured. One is thought to have been a bodyguard and the other a family member. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/22/mexico-city-police-chief-shot-dead-drug-cartel-hit/

This is the homework they gave me: Spoiler That’s it for today. Thank you for sharing. Our next session will start on August 22nd. Between now and then, the Olympics will take place. The opening ceremony is on Friday, July 26th. As you watch coverage of the Olympics, we’d like you to keep this session in mind. Next month we’ll be asking about similar topics. We’d like you to pay attention to anytime you hear an athlete, commentator, or broadcaster mention a social issue during the Olympics. Please pick one of the following sports and pay close attention to coverage throughout the Olympics: gymnastics, track & field, or swimming. You can follow along on any platform you’d prefer (social media, TV, online outlets, etc.). Next month I’ll be asking you to share stories, videos, articles, or photos from the Olympics that touch on social issues. These can anything from social media posts, news articles, sports clips, photos or videos you take yourself, or something else. Try to keep track of anytime you see something that makes you think of this session so that you have 2-3 things to share next month! I'm wondering if I should cheat and post articles about any uproar over snoop carrying the torch by crotchety boomers.
