In the past year, The Heritage Foundation — the conservative think tank behind Project 2025 —  has held seven meetings with MEPs.

For European politicians, it's a way to get access to Trump’s people. For Heritage, it's a way to extend influence.

Sei milioni di italiani non possono curarsi, 1,5 milioni in più dell’anno prima (dati ISTAT). L’Italia è il peggior Paese dell’Eurozona per calo dei salari reali dal 2021 (-7,5%). Il governo Meloni decide di dare l’85% delle risorse del taglio Irpef ai più ricchi.

Utrecht Paleogeography model in prep!

We're integrating our detailed reconstructions of orogenic belts and lost subducted plates into one plate tectonic and paleogeography model. We'll launch the updated Paleolatitude.org soon, and more tools for geodynamic, paleoclimate, and paleobiology studies!

Every time I post a picture of a seismic signal, I am using #python software. Please read this thread from @python.org (I here have screenshotted the three posts that I think contain what you need to know.)
I applaud the Python Software Foundation for taking this stand.

Our npj Natural Hazards @natureportfolio.nature.com study explores how long-term seismic coupling affects fault-based hazard models. Only ~60% of tectonic slip in Italy’s central Apennines is released seismically—ignoring this can bias #SeismicHazard estimates.

EU chiefs lost some credibility at the EUCO summit yesterday when they failed to get a deal to fund Ukraine using Russian assets.

And Volodymyr Zelenskyy could still lose a lot more.
