A really clarifying question that I think should be asked of basically every politician out there is "what do you imagine power to be and why do you want it?"

France is the current "sick man of Europe". Germany's budget found opposition in the EU. Meanwhile, former PIGS countries, Italy included, are showing surprising fiscal discipline.

At any other time in recent history, the Italian government may have been tempted to use the budget chaos in France as a pretext to let its own discipline slip. But PM Giorgia Meloni hasn’t succumbed — and financial markets are rewarding her government.
Markets are rewarding Meloni for resisting French temptation
Yields on debt for the two countries are converging, thanks to instability in Paris and a Rome government that has managed to divide the opposition.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

Hydro 38%
Wind 31%
Nuclear 28%
Bioenergy 4%
Zero coal or gas.

This is what the ideal neighborhood looks like: housing for all types in a walkable area (where everyone can still own a car), within walking distance of a train and bus station.

I am thankful for a social media site that’s not run by disinformation-pushing maniacal billionaire, not controlled by an algorithm design to censor news and much-needed debate, and not overrun by mean-spirited people who encourage and celebrate ignorance. Thankful, indeed.

Wow. It took only a couple of days to reverse my skepticism.
It's refreshing to join a social media where you don't feel like a consumer, but just an user. It's the first in a long while.

Not sure if Trump would have been elected without Twitter/X/Musk. So in theory anyone who used it helped Trump. So fucking stop using it. Bluesky is available now and there is absolutely no reason to help them spread their hate.
