No it actually doesn’t help perchΓ© come esempio sarebbe rilevante se l’ITALIA fosse stata colonizzata dalla Cina, che posso garantirti non Γ¨ mai successo. Non c’è bisogno di tirare fuori strawmen per vincere un argument su Sanremo. Per β€œl’aggiornati”, lol - maybe check the bio first next time

cultural appropriation sottintende una disparitΓ  di potere ed Γ¨ una conseguenza di politiche coloniali quindi il tuo esempio Γ¨ irrilevante, hope it helps x

All madness aside, quello che mi sconvolge di sta storia Γ¨ che in UK chiunque sembra poter diventare ambasciatore..? Niente master all’ISPI? Nessun esame da preparare in un anno intero? Nessuna carriera iniziata come sottosegretario di legazione a timbuktu? Basta avere amici influenti? Wow

Recupero ora la cerimonia di apertura e sono orripilata che la Rai abbia scelto di non mostrare la faccia di Ghali nemmeno per un secondo. Il suo nome non fatto. Una damnatio memoriae che Γ¨ una vergogna tutta italiana. PerΓ² le moine per Charlize Theron si. Che schifo

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.

It’s also the β€˜cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🀯

No esatto, Γ¨ 50% retorica e 50% cercare di battere il ranking SEO di google per quelli che non leggono il NYT e sperano di trovare la risposta alla domanda su internet

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

OPINION: When Roman Oleksiv described seeing his dead mother under the rubble of a hospital hit by Russian missiles, Ievgeniia Razumkova, the interpreter translating his words, broke down in tears.

It was not inefficiency, but care made visible.

I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, I’ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardian’s site.

If you click on a relevant news story, you’ll see a β€œdrop box” of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.

Also, there’s absolutely nothing wrong in not knowing something and having to Google it! The world is granular and we’re all have different interests - one of the remaining good things about the internet is the easy access to knowledge it provides us..
