Majakovsk has defined Trump’s “disaster” as even more serious, claiming that the U.S. Treasury could not use a license to circumvent the federal law that prohibited imports from Russia. He added that any potential policy change would require a 30-day advance notice to Congress and that, in his view, Russian ships would not be able to clear goods and would remain in port without unloading them. The author criticized the political class, accusing it of acting without respecting the rules and of not knowing them. Regarding the tanker headed for the United States, he stated that it probably carried fertilizer, perhaps urea, and not diesel: he specified that no data on the cargo was available and that confirmation would only come upon docking. He also argued that the timing did not match and that in the past tankers had already transported fertilizer instead of oil. Finally, Majakovsk predicted a sharp decline in pro-Russian bots on X. While acknowledging that there was no circumstantial evidence of farm bots on Yandex, he claimed that state control was so strong that their presence was “practically certain.” According to him, the disruption of bots and services on Yandex would likely have made many accounts on the platform less active as well. #Trump #Russia #Politica (translated)

Maddalena Loy had recalled a phrase attributed to Goebbels about the repetition of lies and had defined the accusation from the opposition that the Meloni government had cut funding for public health as false. Loy had contested the data from the Gimbe Foundation, led by Nino Cartabellotta, on the 18.8 billion euros of “invisible cuts.” According to her reconstruction, the figure did not indicate resources taken away from hospitals but the difference compared to what would have been allocated had the ratio between the national health fund and GDP of 2022 remained unchanged. She argued that Gimbe’s headline had led publications like Repubblica to present the figure as an actual loss and called that interpretation a political attack on the government. In comparing allocations, Loy pointed out an increase of 8.2 billion euros between 2011 and 2019, under the Monti, Letta, Renzi, Gentiloni, and Conte governments; of 11.6 billion euros between 2019 and 2022, during the Conte government; and of 17.5 billion euros between 2022 and 2026, with the Meloni government, which would raise the fund from 125.4 to 142.9 billion euros. She described the latter as the largest accounting increase in peacetime. Loy also mentioned monthly increases of around 400 euros for doctors, peaking at 600 euros, a plan to hire 1,000 doctors and 6,300 nurses, coverage of over 2,000 new services, and a flat tax of 15% on overtime for doctors and nurses. She finally contested the statements of Senator Castellone on L’Aria che tira regarding cuts to healthcare. #SanitàPubblica #GovernoMeloni #FakeNews (translated)

Majakovsk has argued that the amount of diesel that the United States would buy or unlock from Russia would be insufficient to cover American needs and would mostly arrive just before or after the midterm elections. In his view, the initiative would primarily serve a propaganda function. He added that many estimates would consider Russian production capacity without accounting for the growth of domestic consumption. Before the war, he wrote, Russia produced 80-90 million tons of diesel per year, exported about half (40-45 Mt), and consumed 35-38 million internally. According to 2026 data cited by Majakovsk, production would have dropped to about 70-75 million tons, while domestic consumption would have risen to 48-55 million, also due to the needs of the war machine and logistics. Majakovsk stated that, during certain periods, including planting and harvesting or offensives, Moscow would be forced to temporarily suspend exports to meet domestic demand, relying on strategic reserves for the rest of the year. He then argued that a significant increase in Russian exports would not be sustainable and that overseas sales would be capped. Referring to Donald Trump's move, Majakovsk called it a worrying political signal, especially for the diplomatic and symbolic rupture it would represent; he added that the influx of new capital into the Russian war machine would remain marginal. #Ucraina #diesel #politica (translated)

Elisabetta Aldrovandi wrote that a document recovered from the Prosecutor's Office in Pavia confirmed the absence of genetic material on the spoon used by Chiara Poggi on the morning of the crime. She contrasted that document with the documentation provided to PM Muscio, which she claimed contained DNA that was manually reconstructed because it was unclear, but attributed without doubt to the victim. Aldrovandi also argued that the documentation reported a large quantity of DNA on the pedal of Alberto Stasi's bicycle, initially identified with certainty as blood and later indicated as such with a high probability. She recalled that a handwritten note from then Captain Marino instead reported the absence of blood and that the machine used for electrophoretic runs had produced two negative results for that DNA. The author stated that the data clarified what might have happened in the laboratory in September 2007. She deemed it unacceptable and unforgivable, in addition to the errors, any potential concealment of them, arguing that this could have contributed to biasing the investigation against Stasi, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison, of which he would serve nearly 11, with severe consequences for his life and reputation. #garlasco #giustizia #DNA #garlasco (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that Ferrari had been very quick with the medium tires, but in SQ3 they lost the necessary tenths to fight for pole when it was crucial to extract the maximum from the tires and especially from the engine. In his view, the car was competitive in various phases and direction changes, but it lost speed on the straights due to aerodynamic drag and low power. He added that the gap to Mercedes and Red Bull increased on the straights and decreased in parts of the mixed sections. Albano called Leclerc's lap “super” and wrote that Hamilton had risked everything in SQ3 but had made several mistakes. Until that moment, according to him, Lewis seemed to have an even better pace than Charles, but the Monegasque finished with two very strong laps. The author attributed pole to Verstappen, noting it had yet to be confirmed, and described Red Bull as the strongest team at the moment. According to his analysis, the car was very fast on the straights, stable in the mixed sections, and capable of limiting losses in slow corners. Verstappen had gained 0.3 seconds on Leclerc already at the end of the first sector, all on the straights, Albano wrote. In his opinion, Red Bull had found the right setup, and the data reminded him of 2022: the car had less downforce, but Verstappen's driving style hid the effect, while speed on the straights remained decisive. Albano described Mercedes as disappointed: Russell had clocked 0.5 seconds faster than Antonelli, but the update package, which he described as extensive, costly, and awaited, was not working. He added that Kimi had also refused the new wing. According to the data he examined, the front end was no longer functioning well, exhibiting understeer in medium-speed corners and difficulty turning the car in slow corners; the increase in aerodynamic drag also hindered deployment. Albano wrote that Antonelli struggled even under braking because he no longer trusted the front end and that, despite the differences between the Singapore and Sepang tracks, what he had seen so far reminded him of the same script. According to Albano, McLaren was not far off but had disappointed in terms of track characteristics and seemed to struggle with a lack of grip, especially when maximum performance was needed. He noted that Ferrari and McLaren, on one side, and Red Bull and Mercedes, on the other, were developing different concepts that ended up producing similar characteristics, except for the Mercedes updates, which in his view were not working. Finally, Albano wrote that the sprint would show whether those cars would be able to create overtaking opportunities or if the race would turn into a train, awaiting the decisive qualifying for Sunday. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Motorsport (translated)

Pope Leo XIV wrote that intelligence should not be limited to associating data, an activity in which algorithms are now faster than humans, but should remember lived experiences and the goodness they make the human soul perceive. He added that every good begins "in the sign of the Holy Spirit" and carries with it a breath, a dynamism, and a sense of communion which, once experienced, remain engraved in the heart. https://t.co/wRoRV6Ix7L #Intelligenza #Esperienze #SpiritoSanto (translated)
