Il Buono wrote that if he ever published something like that, he would study physics at a world-class level and invent time travel so he could go back five seconds before sending the message and, by breaking all the fingers on his hands, create a time paradox that would destroy the universe. #čas #fyzika #paradox (translated)

Isa Yusibov wrote that October 17, 2003, was a day of conflicting feelings for him: he wished it had never happened, but he was also proud of it. He was 14 years old at the time and said his family had considered him an adult since then. The day after the presidential elections in Azerbaijan, in which his father played an important role according to him, Yusibov claimed to be one of the first victims of the repression against the pro-Western opposition. He wrote that he was beaten, humiliated, and spat on in front of about 300 to 400 students. Afterwards, he received his school file and was informed that he was no longer welcome because his father was considered a state enemy. Yusibov said that on his way to the exit, he made eye contact with teachers who had treated him kindly before the elections. Several teachers reportedly gestured for him to leave quickly. He wrote that the experience made him proud of his father and convinced him that the dictatorship would continue. A month later, his family reportedly fled to the Netherlands. The event compelled him to focus on geopolitics. Yusibov argued that the power transition surrounding Aliyev was a consensus among the West, Putin, Erdogan, and Iran. According to him, the West, led by Bush, had betrayed the democrats in Azerbaijan in favor of authoritarian stability. He also wrote that great power interests dictated politics in the Caucasus and that this situation had not changed 23 years later. Yusibov stated that his experiences had taught him how difficult it was to stand up for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. He wrote that he had seen the first signs of undermining democratic principles in the Netherlands as well, by parties that he believed targeted democracy. He referred to a previous interview with NRC and said he would not allow the Netherlands to become a country where the government disregarded fundamental rights. #Democratie #Mensenrechten #Geopolitiek (translated)

Journalist Joanna Stern spent a year using artificial intelligence for various activities, which led to paradoxical situations, including the emergence of forgeries of her book that examines the consequences of this experiment. #uměláinteligence #literaturafaktu #budoucnost (translated)

Laura Carvalho stated that she would disagree with Lula on that occasion. She classified the idea that little money distributed among many people represents wealth, while a lot of money concentrated in a few hands represents poverty, as a matter of macroeconomics and not microeconomics. Carvalho related this idea to Keynes's savings paradox and Kalecki's principle of effective demand. #Economia #Política #Keynes (translated)

The historical paradox of “saving Russia” has always been the same: whenever it emerged from a crisis, the Russian state returned to its familiar pattern of imperial and anti-Western policies Washington’s strategy has been to keep Russia weak enough not to pose a threat, yet stable enough to ensure

SIPONTUM (MANFREDONIA), PUBLISHED IN POPULAR ARCHAEOLOGY USA by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA "SIPONTUM, THE ARCHAELOGICAL SITE AND INVISIBLE PORT CITY OF ANCIENT DAUNIA" SOURCE: https://popular-archaeology.com/author/sardella/ At last, Siponto speaks to the world. The first major popular account in English devoted to Sipontum, the invisible port city of Daunia, has been published in Popular Archaeology USA. For those who work on the archaeological heritage of Foggia and its province, it has long been a paradox: the Encyclopaedia Britannica dismissed Siponto in two lines as a “city abandoned owing to the encroachment of lagoons”, yet no comprehensive synthesis of its history in English existed for an international readership. This article at last fills that lacuna. It narrates a longue durée history spanning 7,000 years: from the Bronze Age lagoon to the Roman maritime colony of 194 BC, whose decumanus maximus survives today as the SS89 Garganica; from the grain port cited by Cassiodorus to the basilica rendered visible by Edoardo Tresoldi; through to abandonment through malaria and the transfer ordained by Manfred of Swabia, who founded Manfredonia in 1256–1263. And, above all, it recounts the present: the 2021–2025 campaigns of Global Archaeology by the Universities of Bari and Foggia, led by Roberto Goffredo, Maria Turchiano, and Giuliano Volpe, and the new Archaeological Park of the Gargano. A fundamental step towards affording one of Italy’s most underrated sites the international visibility it deserves.

the Norwegian fund cannot invest in companies that could be essential for Norway's security. Stoltenberg noted the "paradox" that "the Norwegian fund cannot invest in companies that could be essential for Norway's security," at a time when Russia increasingly threatens to use nuclear weapons, while China is expanding its own arsenal. #Norvegia #aranucleare #investiții (translated)

Karina Michelin wrote that Edson Fachin received the Federal Police's director-general, Andrei Rodrigues, on Tuesday, October 13, and demanded that all mentions of STF ministers in the investigations be gathered. According to her, Fachin also established that any investigation against members of the Court would depend on authorization from the plenary, after a manifestation from the PGR. Michelin classified the decision as contradictory and stated that, in 2022, the STF itself had decided that a rapporteur could authorize investigations against state judges without approval from the collegiate. She added that, faced with suspicions involving the judiciary's leadership, it would be up to the ministers themselves to decide whether the investigations could proceed. #STF #Justiça #Direitos (translated)

Actu Foot reported that Mathieu Flamini co-founded GFBiochemicals in 2013, while he was still a professional footballer. The company specialized in green chemistry and his fortune was estimated at 12 billion euros by Forbes, according to the report. In remarks relayed by L’Express, Flamini explained that he dedicated part of his downtime to learning and participating in the creation of the company, rather than playing video games or shopping. He also said that English and chemistry, two subjects he did not like in school, had become central to his professional life. #ChimieVerte #Entrepreneuriat #Inspiration (translated)

Sardoche estimated that Lisnard's breakthrough reminded him of Macron's, while considering their paths to be very different. He recalled that Macron had been a minister under François Hollande, in the Socialist Party, an investment banker at Rothschild, and, according to him, supported by the Parisian politico-technocratic circles. He also noted that Macron had never been elected locally before arriving at the Élysée. In contrast, Sardoche indicated that Lisnard had never been a minister, that he had been re-elected mayor of Cannes with more than 80% of the votes in the first round, and that he had been locally established for 25 years. He also mentioned his family background as merchants, his activities as a vendor and small entrepreneur, the odd jobs he would have done to finance his studies, as well as his role as president of the mayors of France. Sardoche added that it was difficult to continue believing in a politician in 2026. He pointed out that some criticized Lisnard for a lack of charisma and a posture that was not in line with that of a great politician, but he believed that his profile was the best possible because voters might see him as a Frenchman attached to his country and foreign to the posturing games that he deemed hypocritical. #Politique #Élections2026 #Leadership (translated)
