Fuck Trump!

Election after election exit polls show that those who consider their economic security as poor vote for the neo-fascist AfD. We need an antifascist economic policy instead of a revival of 90s style neoliberalism. This has become only more urgent in face of the energy crisis.

"he spoke of Monument Valley.“It’s not American. It’s another world, not the material one,” he said. “It wasn’t put there so westerns could be shot, but as a place to meditate.” The Native Americans were right, he added, to consider it a spiritual landscape." And, I did not know of Owens Lake

Jupiter is a lot larger than Earth & its lighting storms are lot more powerful, too. Data from NASA's Juno probe indicate that Jovian bolts can pack 1 terajoule of energy--equivalent to an atomic bomb. Also: Storms of grapefruit-size water-ammonia hailstones. 🔭🧪 news.berkeley.edu/2026/03/23/l...

L armata Brancaleone va alla guerra in Iran, humour nero e la realtà supera la satira

In 2021, researchers from Boston University & Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute aboard the Schmidt Ocean research vessel Falkor had a rare encounter with Vitreledonella richardi, the GLASS OCTOPUS. This mesmerizing creature, rarely seen, has a nearly transparent body with visible eyes & gut.

Israel has blocked access to the Al-Aqsa mosque on Eid al Fitr for the first time since 1967. And the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, for “the first time in centuries”.

i negazionisti al governo ti costano soldi, tanti soldi, la Spagna ha raddoppiato le rinnovabili nel tempo che noi avevamo Cingolani e Pichetto Fratin come ministri del non più ambiente ma sicurezza energetica, ed è ancora peggio, un paese che crede di produrre energia autarchica perchè l'ENI

"Why is not one, at his god, speaking justice; being a supporter of truth; (but) is settled just like a wicked person?" In this ancient Babylonian dialogue, this is the friend's answer to why he feels gloomy. He answers with a question. Why, he asks, is not even a single person being good?

a miss in a sport where Israel IDF excels: killing journalists.

toh, c'è ancora un processo in corso contro le Brigate Rosse "Many of the witnesses are extremely old and most have difficulty remembering. A lot of the ‘evidence’ appears to be books published by historians or Red Brigades members. All of the carabinieri present at the shoot-out have died"

To capture the cultural shift in Paris around cycling : yesterday *two* French films were released in which the heroes ride bicycles through Paris. It’s even on the poster for one of them. And in the other, according to a viewer here, the heroes chase a taxi by bike because "they’ll go faster."

A grim parallel between US escalating a trade war w/ China & realising that China has serious leverage in the form of rare earths & US launching a war vs Iran & realising Iran has serious leverage in the form of being able to blow up the world economy. Failure of statecraft.

“Socialism or barbarism” is a phrase we‘ve all heard many times. But it’s never felt it so viscerally true before now.

A charming #Egyptian drawing of a #cat acting as a servant to a #mouse. Drawings of animals acting as people were meant as satire of the society and politics. Dating 13th/12th century BC, probably from Deir el-Medina, #Egypt. 📷 Musées Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire, Brussels 🏺

"Frederiksen’s party has proposed an annual 0.5 per cent tax on assets worth more than 25mn kroner (about $3.9mn) for individuals as her main policy proposal in early elections" Niels Christiansen says it would “drain quite a lot of capital out of companies” www.ft.com/content/5d28...

Settler terrorism continues in the West Bank. At the end of centuries of colonial violence, the slow annihilation of the Palestinian people proceeds with government complicity. Let us not forget what lies behind the current escalation with Iran and Lebanon

"nel mondo esistono tre SMR operativi: uno in Cina, due in Russia. Un quarto è in costruzione: in Argentina, con 12 anni di cantiere all’attivo e costi lievitati del 700% (..) i russi e quello cinese hanno anch’essi impiegato 12 anni invece dei 3-4 previsti, con sforamenti di costo del 400% e 300%"

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Sì, il Covid era un “known known”: avevamo persino un piano pandemico. Eppure per due mesi nel 2020 nessuno pensò di comprare mascherine e respiratori. Nel 2019 invece passammo mesi a imporre gli allarmi per i seggiolini auto, per un caso confermato a decennio. I politici sono cosplayer.

Trump 2 is VIXMaxxing, or VolatillityMaxxing, look no further for a purpose of a predatory presidency

"Trump says ending Iran war will be 'mutual' decision with Netanyahu" Tail wags the dog. America is actually fighting Israel's war, in fact fighting a war against herself since there is not a single American interest (security or otherwise) that is being promoted by this war.

What is @economist.com talking about ? That war has a strategy - and political goals too. Only, they are Israel's - the USA got taken along for the ride, and now the only way is down.

un'altra crisi nel golfo e l'Italia che entra di gran carriera nel prossimo shock energetico perchè, ENI, il Piano Mattei, la coldiretti e le belle arti, buttare sangue quando si ha una chiara opportunità di sostituzione del gas con le rinnovabili, quella "affordability" che si parla in USA e UK
