Think of a number. Don’t tell anyone what it is. Now think of all the other numbers you didn’t think of, and how they must be feeling. I hope you’re proud of yourself.

In merito alle dichiarazioni del Presidente del Senato Ignazio La Russa l’Istituto nazionale Ferruccio Parri – Rete degli istituti storici della Resistenza e dell’età contemporanea -, per rispetto alla verità storica, dichiara:

L’ attacco partigiano di via Rasella fu un legittimo atto di guerra (...) A seguito dell’attacco i Tedeschi fucilarono alle Fosse Ardeatine 335 fra antifascisti, partigiani, ebrei, detenuti comuni.

Nuove prove a sostegno dell'esistenza dei draghi che non possano più quindi essere liquidati come creature leggendarie. Effetti antropogenici stanno rendendo il clima attuale in grado di ricreare le condizioni ottimali per riportare in vita questi splendidi animali.
E’ quanto riportato su un articolo pubblicato il 1 Aprile del 2015 sulla prestigiosa rivista Nature da un team di ricercatori statunitensi. https://urly.it/3th9v

Far-right Austrian lawmakers walked out of the country's lower house of parliament on Thursday during a virtual address by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, protesting that it was an “infringement” of Austria’s neutrality status.

In his address, Zelensky thanked #Austria for its humanitarian aid, adding that it is “important not to be morally neutral towards evil."

16,200 Ukrainian children are known to have been deported by Russia.

Their abduction is a horrible reminder of the darkest time of our history, war crimes.

With #Ukraine and #Poland, we want to help find them by:

- Holding a conference to take all measures needed to establish their whereabouts

- Assisting UN bodies and international organisations in collecting information, including on children adopted by Russian foster families

These children must return to Ukraine.

Chi ha ucciso il sogno di una internet globale?
C’è ancora speranza

Esce domani il libro “Internet fatta a pezzi” in cui si racconta nel dettaglio la nascita e la corruzione del sogno di un mondo unito, attraversato da flussi di bit che trasportano idee, emozioni positive e relazioni tra le perso­ne; e si discute quello che tutti noi possiamo fare per cercare di tornare alle origini

Una preside di una scuola a Maiolo, nel riminese, dispone che non si possano tenere benedizioni cattoliche in orario scolastico, come prescrivono le sentenze e suggerisce il buon senso. Ma il primo cittadino di Pennabili non ci sta: si mobilita con un’ordinanza per assecondare l'invadenza clericale, imponendo lo svolgimento del rito pasquale durante l’attività didattica, con tanto di «allontanamento momentaneo» dei non cattolici.
Tutto normale in un paese clericale!

My fav retro computing coding story:

“He told me it came upon him when he was drunk and whacked out of his brain, he coded it up in assembly overnight before he passed out, but now could not for the life of him remember how the algorithm worked.”
