Germany announced it will give Ukraine €170 million in emergency winter aid, on top of boosting military support. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the funds go toward infrastructure to shield Ukraine’s winter supplies from the impact of Russian terror.


A Russian drone that crashed in Moldova ended up right outside the Russian ambassador’s office in Chișinău. In response, seasoned diplomat Oleg Ozerov fell back on Cold War-era tactics, spouting absurdities.

He claimed the drone was originally shot down over Kharkiv and bizarrely suggested Ukraine repaired and relaunched it. Hard to say how many in Moldova are buying into that fantasy.

Despite leaked phone calls, the Kremlin says it's still waiting for "detailed contacts" with US envoy Witkoff. Peskov brushed off the leaks, which suggest Witkoff was pushing a Kremlin-drafted "peace plan" behind the scenes, as nothing serious.

Well good, because the Witkoff plan is indeed nothing serious.




Moldovans dragged a downed Russian "Geran" drone to the Foreign Ministry building in Chișinău and summoned the Russian ambassador to deliver an official protest.

RE: a2mi.social/@george/1156113143…

In which an economist realizes what most of us already knew, which is that treating the economic benchmarks established in the 1960s like some kind of founding fathers nonsense which is somehow eternally correct and inviolate is a ridiculous mistake.

And he still somehow doesn't reach the conclusion that the poverty line as a concept and the assertion that some percentage of Americans need to be struggling for the sake of the country's financial health is entirely arbitrary and only exits as a means of reinforcing white supremacy through economic policy.

That is, that some rich dudes decided in the early 1960s that the status quo at the time was the ideal to target for continued economic success without ever caring to consider precisely _who_ was struggling at the time or whether anyone should be struggling in the first place.

Da quanto ho capito, con tale legge ogni uomo diventa ricattabile dopo un rapporto sessuale. In pratica, per farlo, dovremo munici di avvocato e 2 testimoni per cautelarci. Il problema è che io uomo devo dimostrare il "sì" cosa che forse è anche anticostituzionale, perché si è innocenti fino a prova contraria, ma qui invece si è colpevoli fino a prova contraria.
Poi magari ho capito male io... e lo spero, magari qualcuno più esperto potrebbe farmi capire meglio.

@Bastacosi ormai ho appeso il cappello al chiodo e la questione mi tocca marginalmente, ma qui si rischia di passare da un eccesso all'altro. Poniamo che due passino una bella serata, poi la donna si incazza per qualche cosa e il disgraziato si ritrova con un'accusa di violenza sessuale. Come fa a dimostrare il contrario? Quando si è in intimità non sempre la comunicazione è verbale, anzi non lo è quasi mai. Dovremo far firmare un consenso scritto?

@Bastacosi @ulisse62 non solo, persone intelligenti vi prego non cadete nella trappola di Salvini: non è vero che l'onere della prova passa all'accusato. L'accusante deve dimostrare che non aveva dato consenso. Invece di dover dimostrare minacce col coltello o esibire lividi perché se no "allora ci stavi", può dimostrare anche che la coercizione è stata di altro tipo. Se no, ragazzi, secondo voi quanti preti hanno abusato di giovani ambosessi minacciandi col coltello?

Ma vi rendete conto quanto siamo indietro? Quanto pesa la nostra arretratezza culturale nelle vite dei cittadini?

Nel podcast non ne parlo per ora, ma prima o poi lo farò, perché cose come questa mi spingono a lasciare l'Italia al pari delle malattie che sopporto. Ed è tutto dire.
