The longevity of the Mafia in Italy serves as a warning that, once this style of rule embeds itself in the state, it is “very difficult to extract,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.

Wonderful to see an American pope! And one who seeks to venerate the Voltaire-like presence of Leo XIII!
What a great day! 🙂

From Benjamin Libman — an intimate memoir in essays through familial history and personal memory, unafraid to question deeply cherished beliefs about Jewish identity while reconciling his own values with those inculcated in him.

Jeff Pulver leading a discussion about generational change at VONevolution summit.
I’m at the #VONevolution & cpaasaa event in #London and I’m loving what @jeffpulver.bsky.social is saying about building apps for current & upcoming generations. Don’t design for dinosaurs! App-based chat & video calling is rising. CPaaS is the future. #CPaaS #Videocalling #API #Twilio
