Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…

Meloni ditches Trump-supporting CPAC in Italy amid US-Europe tensions Italy’s ruling party, Fratelli d’Italia (FdI), led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, is opposing the possibility of hosting a future edition of the US Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)…

Italy is not gonna host the #MAGA convention and offer #Trump leverage against EU.

Official reason: "Too many nutjobs on stage."

"[...]the guest list prepared by the American organisers might include figures considered excessively radical or controversial, [...]"

Old tablet died.

Wanting to give iPads a chance as new family shared device.

Found out iOS does not allow to have multiple user profiles!

A basic feature we've had for ages on Android phones and tables, or on computers, is completely missing. In 2025.

How many other basic things are missing?

Musk Email Reaches Italian Workers. It Did Not Go Well. Employees at the Aviano Air Base who serve American forces got a familiar demand to list their achievements. Unions say Italy “is not the Wild West like the U.S.”

"Unions say Italy “is not the Wild West like the U.S.”"

Knowing the people in that region, I am feally surprised they didn't respond to #Musk 's "name 5 things you did Last week" request with "YOUR MOM" x 5.🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹

Non sono cazzi tuoi, #Elon.
#Unions, capìsc? 🤌

MAGA wants peace in the same way a guy that beats his wife just wants a happy marriage.

While Donald is kissing Putin's ring and echoing his propaganda on Ukraine as the good Russian asset he is, on Russian national TV they explain how they would nuke the U.S.

Ardent #MAGA / #Trump Cuban activist reportedly taken by #ICE and in line for #deportation.
If Cuba refuses to get him, the following step might be Guantanamo.

It is being reported by multiple sources, yet it is hard to believe it is true.

A WTF #MAGA story:
She spent thousands... How fucking expensive are those eggs over there in the U.S.A.?

Nata Per Te This is the true story of Luca, a single Catholic man who in 2017 adopted Alba, a Down's syndrome child left in hospital shortly after being born.

Loved watching "Nata per Te", the first case in Italy of a single succeeding in adopting a child.

Alba is a girl born with the down syndrome rejected by her parents, Luca is a gay single who wants a family.

For weeks in the top10 Netflix movies in Italy.

Cool idea. I'll start.

What are two or three of the major tensions and sources of attrition in your world?

Yes, this.
This is the reasonable thing to do.

Usually games get the GOTY treatment after a couple of years from release, and get a significant price cut while bundled together with all the additional content released post launch.

Italian far right PM Giorgia Meloni wants a deal to handover Italian military comms to Starlink.

Her in 2020: "Delivering once again a strategic infrastructure to foreign speculation is a real act of betrayal"

Now she is upset one of her predecessors said she is obedient to Musk and Trump.
