Posizione forte e rispettabile, a cui si aggiunge anche questa perla.

The devil is in the details.

Nobel Prize candidate.

• Last year struck Iranian nuclear sites.
• Threatened to annex #Greenland.
• Invaded #Venezuela and kidnapped its president.
• Tightened a crushing embargo on #Cuba.
• Now #Iran is bombed again while negotiations still alive.

#Trump the peacemaker. #Peace through bombing.

The risk is an intimidating effect on those exercising a fundamental right: dissent, the very core of #Democracy.

How long will democratic checks and balances continue to hold?

In this climate, the increasingly frequent use of administrative subpoenas to obtain data and identities of anonymous users who criticize #ICE on social media is deeply concerning.

In recent months the domestic policy of #Trump has taken on increasingly aggressive tones: repeated attacks on federal courts and the principles of #RuleOfLaw, pressure on non-aligned states, growing hostility toward the #FreePress, and threats to universities through the leverage of federal funding

"IL GIORNO DELLA CIVETTA" DI LEONARDO SCIASCIA • Let's Book La recensione del libro "Il giorno della civetta" di Leonardo Sciascia, pubblicato da Adelphi Edizioni nel 1993

Scritto nel 1960, "Il giorno della civetta" di Leonardo Sciascia (Adelphi) denunciò per primo la mafia lasciandoci un’eredità sociopolitica importantissima.

Defending #HumanRights in words while denying them in practice is complicity.
For this reason, I stand in support of Francesca Albanese, whose calls for accountability and protection of civilians deserve attention, not dismissal.

Israel has crossed every limit set by #InternationalLaw and by the fundamental principle of #ProtectCivilians.
Even more serious is the political responsibility of the governments that continue to support, justify, or arm this course, in Europe as well as in the United States.

After more than two years of systematic destruction, tens of thousands of civilians killed in #Gaza, cities devastated, and an entire population deprived of homes, medical care, and safety, it is no longer possible to speak of “complexity” to avoid naming reality.

It’s flavorful, irreverent, and surprisingly rich beneath the grime.

Brancalonia, born in Italy and now available in English, takes the familiar 5E chassis and twists it into the “Sinister Boot”: a picaresque world steeped in Italian folklore, dirty roads, hungry knaves, strange saints, tavern recipes, and wonderfully grounded NPCs drawn from regional tradition.

I’d strongly suggest Numenera and Brancalonia.
Numenera offers a deeply stratified far-future setting where layers of lost civilizations shape every discovery. It gives the GM unusual narrative freedom, with tools that encourage wonder, mystery, and improvisation rather than strict structure.

I'd like to add a clarification. When there's a family history of colon cancer, it's best to start checking for occult blood in the stool at age 35-40. If the result is positive, proceed with a colonoscopy.

She deserves full solidarity. The hope is that she will soon be able to leave the war zone and find a new professional position.

Within this context stands the case of Lizzie Johnson, dismissed while still in Ukraine. For over a year she had been working in critical material conditions, with limited resources and in a high-risk operational environment.

However, in recent years the paper has gradually softened its direct confrontation with Trump, while Bezos’ interests extend far beyond publishing. There is no proof of a causal link, but the timing has raised questions even within the newsroom.

Layoffs at The Washington Post have been explained by economic factors: heavy losses, declining readership, and a transforming media market. This alone can justify even a severe restructuring.

E, sicuramente, nei prossimi 5-10 anni dovremo abituarci a usare come tale quello che a tutti gli effetti è uno strumento. Il discriminante sarà essere bravi a farlo.

Oltre a ciò, se "addestri" l'IA a masticare letteratura scientifica, è un aiuto non da poco: dai paper tradotti e ridotti all'essenziale (per capire se ti interessa davvero approfondirli), al ragionamento su cosa e come fare (sempre basandosi sulla letteratura), può diventare un aiuto non da poco.

Chiedo a ChatGPT: guarda, sul ventilatore marca x e modello y ho questo problema e mi dà questo errore, cosa posso fare? 15 secondi dopo avevo la risposta e l'errore era stato risolto in meno di un minuto.

~6 mesi fa, un ventilatore da rianimazione mi segnalava un errore che nessuno dei presenti aveva mai riscontrato. Vecchia soluzione: prendi il manuale da centinaia di pagine (o il PDF) e sfoglia/fai search per trovare il problema. Ah, alcuni manuali, in edizione europea, sono accorciati.

Buondì.
L'IA, come buona parte dei prodotti tecnologici, può essere usata anche da persone non avvezze a studio/ricerca e con un basso livello di scolarizzazione.
Personalmente la trovo utile anche in ambito sanitario, se ben adoperata:

It’s a sick society, but not only in the U.S. In other countries, too, there are people who cheer for ICE and loudly demand to see it operating in their own streets.

For many people, chaos and suffering are acceptable—at least as long as they don’t affect them directly. Until then, abuses meant to restrict the freedoms of those deemed “different” are fine. They even provide a certain satisfaction.

if by Monday it’s still unclear what Trump intends to do with Iran, there will be significant sell-offs on Wall Street as well.
And no, the opening of a new war front in the Middle East cannot be considered positive just because cryptocurrencies lose value.

In reality, it wasn’t only Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general that collapsed. Yesterday there was also a sharp drop in precious metals (silver above all, but gold also performed poorly). And if the main stock indices didn’t fall, it’s only because they’re closed over the weekend:

I'm so excited.
The party for my #Eberron campaign is almost ready. We already have:
• Air Genasi – Storm Sorcerer
• Human – Artificer (Mark of Making)
• Changeling – Cleric (Twilight Domain, Dol Arrah).

Only the fourth player is missing, he is still deciding. But in two week we'll start.

Thank you for sharing it for free.
I purchased Daggerheart, but I only had time to skim through the rulebook—and some of the mechanics are very interesting.
I’ll take a look at your work. I wouldn’t mind playing a one-shot.
