TikTok’s mob wife aesthetic is far from the harsh reality of women in Italy’s world of organised crime

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 6, 2024

She has dedicated her life to him, keeping her family together while he was serving time in different prisons across Italy.

Key Points: 
  • She has dedicated her life to him, keeping her family together while he was serving time in different prisons across Italy.
  • Signora Anna is someone who might be called a “mob wife”, but her world and look are galaxies away from the mob wife aesthetic that has become popular on TikTok.
  • It is a commercial product rather than a reflection of the gritty reality of Italian mafias and organised crime.
  • From my experience of real mob wives, this lies in direct contradiction of the very essence of mafias.

The real mafia women dress code

  • Italian mafia wives are different from American mafia wives because a structured Italo-American mafia developed during the 1930s within a different historical context of capitalism and the American dream.
  • These are glamorous women who appear as trophies on the arms of their men without a care in the world, rather than normal women with daily concerns.
  • These films also inspired many different images of mafia women that confuse and overlap our understanding of them.
  • In this way, Italian mafia women have always been portrayed as passive and ignorant bystanders, not visible and loud mob wives.
  • Important Italian mafia women may like branded clothes, luxury and exotic holidays but they will never show off.

TikTok glorifying the criminal underworld

  • The use of Instagram and TikTok have exploded among the young.
  • Naples is a particular hub of TikTok production with many focusing on mafia images, symbols and messages as well as neomelodica music (Italian pop music).
  • Women are part of this showing off of social status in posts flaunting their latest clothes, their plastic surgery and holiday destinations.
  • The TikTok trend is fundamentally a distraction from addressing the real hardships that girls and women deal with within organised crime spaces on a daily basis.

Lunar science is entering a new active phase, with commercial launches of landers that will study solar wind and peer into the universe’s dark ages

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 6, 2024

And thanks to new technologies and public-private partnerships, these projects will open up new realms of scientific possibility.

Key Points: 
  • And thanks to new technologies and public-private partnerships, these projects will open up new realms of scientific possibility.
  • NASA’s commercial lunar payload services program, or CLPS, will use uncrewed landers to conduct NASA’s first science experiments from the Moon in over 50 years.
  • Rather than NASA building the landers and operating the program, commercial companies will do so in a public-private partnership.

CLPS launches

  • The first two CLPS payloads are scheduled to launch during the first two months of 2024.
  • There’s the Astrobotics payload, which launched Jan. 8 before experiencing a fuel issue that cut its journey to the Moon short.
  • Next, there’s the Intuitive Machines payload, with a launch scheduled for mid-February.

Radio telescopes on the Moon

  • The Moon – particularly the far side of the Moon – is an ideal place to do radio astronomy and study signals from extraterrestrial objects such as the Sun and the Milky Way galaxy.
  • On Earth, the ionosphere, which contains Earth’s magnetic field, distorts and absorbs radio signals below the FM band.
  • The Moon has no ionosphere, and with about 2,000 miles of rock between the Earth and the far side of the Moon, there’s no interference.
  • The same kind of discharge happens on the Moon from the charged gas, but it’s potentially more harmful to astronauts.

Solar and exoplanet radio emissions

  • The Sun’s surface releases shock waves that send out highly energetic particles and low radio frequency emissions.
  • We’ll use the radio telescopes to measure these emissions and to see bursts of low-frequency radio waves from shock waves within the solar wind.
  • If we detect the same kind of radio emissions that come from Earth, this will tell us that the planet has a magnetic field.

Cosmology on the Moon

  • The Lunar Surface Electromagnetic Experiment at Night, or LuSEE-Night, will fly in early 2026 to the far side of the Moon.
  • LuSEE-Night marks scientists’ first attempt to do cosmology on the Moon.
  • Since the far side of the Moon is uniquely radio quiet, it’s the best place to do cosmological observations.
  • That process is going to start in 2026 with the LuSEE-Night mission, which is both a fundamental physics experiment and a cosmology experiment.
