I have asked Russia for additional information to determine the cause of the severe pneumonia and to verify media reports of a second staff member with pneumonia of unknown cause. Timely, complete and transparent information-sharing in line with the International Health Regulations is critical. #PlagueOutbreak #Russia #InfectiousDiseases

The author argued that socialist regulations in Spain had severely damaged trust between landlords and tenants, which they said was necessary for a properly functioning market. They claimed squatters had been rewarded and tenants who did not pay rent had been protected from eviction, making it hazardous to rent out property in Spain. #España #Alquiler #Socialismo #ES

“You cannot preach self-government and liberty to people in a starving land. Only a well-fed, well-housed, well-schooled people can enjoy the blessings of liberty.” — Fiorello La Guardia, former mayor of New York La Guardia was making a simple argument: people cannot fully enjoy liberty if they lack the basic conditions that make independence possible. That should make Danes stop and think. Denmark is not a starving land. We are wealthy, highly educated and protected by one of the world’s most extensive welfare states. And yet, look at the direction of travel. The cost of living and housing have become increasingly burdensome. Educational performance has deteriorated. And more and more decisions about how we live, work, raise our children, run our businesses and spend our own money are made through an ever-growing web of rules and regulations. So perhaps Denmark faces a different version of La Guardia’s warning. The question is no longer simply: Are Danes well-fed, well-housed and well-schooled? It is: Are Danes still being made capable of governing themselves? Because there is a difference between being provided for and being free. A prosperous welfare state can give people security. It can provide housing, education, healthcare and income protection. But it cannot manufacture the habits that liberty requires: independent thought, personal responsibility, courage, competence and a willingness to govern ourselves rather than continually asking the state to govern us. La Guardia warned that you cannot build liberty on hunger. Perhaps Denmark should ask whether security without sufficient independence can preserve it. A free society needs more than citizens who are taken care of. It needs citizens capable of taking responsibility for themselves. That is the real meaning of self-government” - ChatGPT

The French Mileists wrote that Emmanuel Macron had not deliberately sought to ruin the country and presented him as having always been a socialist. They recalled his membership in the Socialist Party and his time in François Hollande's government, arguing that his experience as a banker did not change this orientation. According to them, the presence of many socialists in the upper echelons was explained by the short-term advantages of crony capitalism. They claimed that Macron did not create French socialism, but preserved and worsened it by multiplying regulations and expenditures. They described his program as having some minor liberal reforms while judging it overall favorable to the status quo. They also attributed to him a belief in a strong state, multiculturalism, progressivism, and his own superiority, adding that he saw the state as the instrument of his genius and embodied statism. #Macron #PolitiqueFrançaise #Socialisme (translated)

Je ne suis pas du tout fan de Juan Branco, mais il a raison. Mistral est une entreprise de capitalisme de connivence. Ses liens avec la macronie sont évidents, notamment via Cédric O, ancien secrétaire d’État au Numérique, qui est entré au capital dès le départ pour 176 euros et s’est retrouvé avec une participation valorisée des dizaines de millions. C’est lui qui a ouvert les portes de l’Élysée. C’est lui qui a lobbyé l’AI Act pour que les règles européennes collent au business de Mistral. Mistral décroche des contrats grâce à cette proximité. Elle profite des régulations et de l’argent public décidés par le même pouvoir qui la porte. Tout ça pour quoi ? Pour avoir une entreprise qui n’est même pas compétitive face aux labs américains et chinois. Elle a abandonné la course aux vrais modèles frontière pour se reconvertir en intégrateur B2B et en distributeur de modèles chinois sur sa propre plateforme. Le fameux champion européen est devenu le sous-traitant et le revendeur des labs chinois. C’est ironique quand la macronie nous parle de « souveraineté numérique ». Je respecte le travail technique de Mistral et de ses ingénieurs, mais venir expliquer que vos travaux « déplaisent à certaines petites frappes » alors que votre entreprise est le produit pur du système politico-financier français, c’est fort. Mistral est la représentation même de la « start-up nation » : du capitalisme de connivence soutenu par les réseaux de pouvoir et par l’argent public alloué. #capitalisme #souveraineté #startups

"BLASTING NEWS ITALIA": SIX-SEAT REVOLUTION: FOGGIA'S NEWSSTAND THEATRE BECOMES A CASE STUDY AT STANFORD SOURCE: https://it.blastingnews.com/cultura-spettacoli/2026/09/rivoluzione-a-sei-posti-il-teatro-edicola-di-foggia-caso-studio-a-stanford-004141773.html SAN SEVERO (FG) - The Newsstand Theatre of San Severo, created from a disused news-stand, is a case study for Stanford University by Chiara Valentini The Newsstand Theatre of San Severo, in the province of Foggia, known as the smallest theatre in the world, has become a prestigious case study for Stanford University. The news, released on 19 September 2026, concerns the publication in the Stanford Social Innovation Review of the reportage entitled "The Six-Seat Revolution". The feature is entirely devoted to the innovative cultural project of the theatre company Foyer 97 and its artistic director, Francesco Gravino. The article, authored by the Foggia-born researcher Luciano Magaldi and supervised by editor David V. Johnson, appears in the magazine's Dispatches section. The Stanford Social Innovation Review is a publication that focuses on cross-sectoral solutions to global problems. The Apulian project, at the heart of this international recognition, was born from the transformation of a disused and abandoned site into a vibrant space dedicated to very small-scale theatrical performances. A six-seat stage for a unique experience The Newsstand Theatre is distinguished by its extremely small dimensions: it has just six chairs and occupies less than two square metres. Its innovative format provides for performances every 15 minutes, ensuring a high turnover of audiences. Attendance has been sold out, attracting a heterogeneous audience of young people and adults. This particular configuration drastically reduces the distance between actors and spectators, concentrating the theatrical experience in an intimate and original space created from a former news-stand. Francesco Gravino expressed his pride, linking this important recognition to the journey undertaken by the Foyer 97 company. The artistic director also mentioned the numerous requests to replicate the model received from other Italian cities, including Lucca and Rome. Gravino emphasised the urgent need to introduce specific regional regulations to facilitate the reconversion of disused sites into cultural activities, describing them as genuine "cultural outposts" for the community. Currently, Gravino and the company's actors are engaged in preparing the new programme. Foyer 97: thirty years of activity and new challenges The theatre company Foyer 97 is about to celebrate a significant anniversary. Francesco Gravino announced that "next year our company will be 30 years old", a milestone that will be celebrated with the introduction of some important innovations. This anniversary is closely linked to the resumption of activities scheduled for October and to the presentation of the new programme for the Newsstand Theatre. The "Stanford Social Innovation Review" reportage recalled that the Newsstand Theatre was inaugurated on the morning of 27 March 2026, coinciding with World Theatre Day. This event marked the beginning of a project that continues to generate interest and to demonstrate the potential of urban regeneration through culture.
