EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country? TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Gli italiani vogliono davvero il ponte sullo Stretto di Messina? Secondo il ministro Matteo Salvini, la «larga maggioranza dei cittadini» è favorevole all’opera. Vediamo se ha ragione oppure no.

La politica sta ignorando il caso del gruppo Facebook “Mia moglie”. Finora la notizia non ha avuto risalto tra i partiti ed è stata commentata quasi soltanto da esponenti già attive nel contrasto della violenza contro le donne.

Secondo Fratelli d’Italia, il governo Meloni ha raggiunto un «altro primato»: il PIL pro capite italiano avrebbe infatti superato quello del Regno Unito. Ma è davvero così? Vediamo che cosa dicono i numeri.

È stato sgomberato il Leoncavallo. Ogni volta che si parla dello storico centro sociale milanese, torna a circolare una vecchia storia che vorrebbe Matteo Salvini come un assiduo frequentatore in gioventù dello spazio occupato. È una leggenda priva di riscontri [articolo di novembre 2024] ⬇️

Da almeno tre anni Matteo Salvini ripete un numero sbagliato sui posti di lavoro creati dal cantiere sul ponte sullo Stretto di Messina. Lo ha fatto di nuovo di recente: ha detto che saranno 120 mila, ma è falso.

Lots of discussion of this story yesterday but what really hit me in the solar plexus was the chat transcripts where he desperately pleads ‘I hope you are real’ and ‘please be real’. It assures him “she” is and gives him a (fake) NYC address to visit. He wasn’t Meta’s customer. He was their prey.

In June 1941, Soviet authorities deported ~45,000 people from Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania. Hundreds of thousands more were forced to leave. Since 2022, 2.8+ mln Ukrainians have been deported or forced to leave for Russia. Different century. Same crimes. #StopRussianImperialism

Oh my god. God damnit.

The EU must take the US’ withdrawal as leader of the free world as an opportunity to step into that role: to fund where USAID retreats, to hire talent, to boost its industry and defense, to step up and reinvigorate democratic leadership. Bring people along in this future vision

Elon Musk and his aides now have access to many federal agencies’ systems and unknown amounts of data. And when people tinker with vital systems, things can go wrong. Here is our guide to backing up all of your documents.

No! AI does not “want” to promote freedom. It does not want anything at all. And the companies that make and distribute AI? They don’t want freedom either. They want to monetize you & your info, even if that means destroying your privacy, and wreck both the environment and information ecosphere.
