Wow, the pope rugby-like tackles recent embarrassing developments on Italian tv, where Sachs’s lies and absurdities were presented as facts or, at best, interpretations. Amen
The media cannot and must not separate itself from the destiny of truth. Transparency of sources and ownership, accountability, quality, clarity, and objectivity are the keys to truly opening citizens' rights for all peoples.

.@JohnFetterman @SenFettermanPA @giselefetterman This is a deeply disturbing story. I was not aware of it. I don't think many Democrats are aware of it. But it's a story that must be told and re-investigated. Fetterman's story makes no sense IMO. https://t.co/fFOYYV0Opw

There’s definitively more but: 1) Different social capital (Putnam) 2) Different past political institutions (A&R) 3) Centralized ineffective state-formation (Ziblatt) 4) A dysfunctional constitution (T&P)
I have never understood the massive economic divide in Italy. Why is the North with its various industries one of the wealthiest areas in Europe, but the South so extremely poor? Same country, same language, same laws and taxes. Can someone please explain?

Last month, the Committee finally acknowledged that ideas, not capital, made the modern world. They gave the prize to Philippe Aghion, a French theorist, and two empirical scientists, the Canadian Peter Howitt, and my dear friend, the Dutch-Israeli-American Joel Mokyr. Hurrah!

Just FYI, cosmic rays are many, many orders of magnitude more powerful in outer space than they are in Earth’s surface.

My wife and I never imagined our conservative family would end in a federal prosecution for trying to produce a TV series that brings light to the Government corruption in Hawaii... We’re one of thousands of forgotten Americans left out of the clemency conversation.

International Reporters maschera la propaganda putiniana come giornalismo. Sappiamo da tempo che è un progetto di disinformazione, nato con il sostegno del Cremlino e con il finanziamento di enti statali russi.
Un'inchiesta di @RSF_en ha rivelato che nel 2024 il sito International Reporters, di cui fanno parte anche i propagandisti italo-russi Andrea Lucidi e Vincenzo Lorusso, ha ricevuto almeno 27mila euro dall'agenzia digitale Dialog, finanziata dal Cremlino e sanzionata da UE e USA.

We're partnering with @Google to build & launch sats for their new Project Suncatcher! ☀️🛰️ This bold moonshot will test their TPUs in space as an experiment to harness the 24/7, unfiltered sun for power, and cold background of space for cooling, towards a future

Addio a Giorgio Forattini. Con la sua matita ha saputo far sorridere il Paese. Il suo tratto inconfondibile e familiare, la sua ironia pungente, hanno attraversato decenni di storia, raccontando l'Italia senza fare sconti a nessuno. Ha osservato e interpretato l’attualità
