Russia stato criminale e terrorista.
A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene. Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.

Apple è in una deriva triste. Ha iniziato a correre dietro alle spec e agli onanismi asiatici su prodotti assurdi, che non hanno alcun senso dal punto di vista della UX. Mah.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Dal punto di vista ingegneristico lo show della roadster è qualcosa di veramente impressionante, dal punto di vista del prodotto è puro onanismo (cosa a cui elone è world champion).

The new moats are the same as the old moats Every few years, we fall in love with shiny new tech and forget the basic physics of consumer software. We’re doing it again with AI. The new moats aren't new at all. They're the exact same as the old moats: network effects, marketplaces, and platforms. Right now, consumer AI is booming. New agents like Instinct, Bot, and Tomo are dropping mind-blowing experiences. The underlying tech is incredible, but almost every product being built today shares the exact same challenge: They are completely single-player. Single-player products are 100% tied to value - and in this case mostly agent : model performance. If a competitor drops an agent tomorrow that books travel faster, tracks habits better, or handles life admin more reliably, everyone can switch overnight because leaving is easy and has nearly zero friction. Especially when it is so easy to onboard with just a new message. The legendary consumer tech giants didn't win because their underlying technology stayed marginally better forever. They won because of structural lock-in: Social Networks: You don't abandon WhatsApp for a prettier UI if your friends aren't there. Marketplaces: Airbnb, Doordash, and Uber hold supply and demand in a tight loop. Platforms: Apple and Android deliver you a complete device so you take advantage of the software on top of it (though this creates opportunities too) Novelty gets you initial distribution. Multi-user dynamics give you long-term retention. If your consumer AI product doesn't become exponentially more valuable to User A when User B joins, you don't have a moat, just a temporarily superior feature set. We are seeing this in the coding agents as people jump from tool to tool based on the best performance. But… all is not lost. There are huge opportunities here. Agents will get better when more of our friends are on them and can help us coordinate and communicate to do more together. Agents that help us improve and strengthen our habits can get better as we add friends and hold each other accountable. Data flywheels are great, but social and marketplace flywheels are what actually build enduring tech giants. It’s time to stop building isolated AI tools and start building the platforms where people connect, transact, and coordinate together.

In Italia ci sono 4,6 milioni di imprese e il 94,8% ha meno di 10 addetti. Tra quelle con almeno 3 addetti, 8 su 10 sono controllate da una famiglia (ISTAT). Una parte enorme di queste aziende sta arrivando al passaggio più difficile: quello generazionale. 🧵

Il Giappone c'è passato prima: nel 2019 il governo stimava 2,45 milioni di titolari di PMI over 70 entro il 2025, metà senza successore. 6,5 milioni di posti a rischio. Da allora la successione esce dalla famiglia, anche via M&A: le aziende senza successore sono scese al 50,1%.

I was in Gaza when I condemned October 7—and I paid a heavy price for saying so. During the war, Hamas subjected me to severe intimidation and attacks because I spoke openly against what happened. I did not condemn October 7 from a distance or from safety; I condemned it from Gaza, while living through the consequences myself. My position has not changed. It comes from my conscience, my humanitarian principles, and my faith.

Of course is silly to say he would have done things differently, looking at today's Apple, but current tech leadership totally missi his level of mind and vision.

La tocca piano il Crosetto. Chapeau.
Ho letto e ascoltato, come spesso accade, molte cose inventate di sana pianta sulle scelte di bilancio che riguardano la Difesa. Telefonate dai toni duri, scontri e discussioni tra me, il Presidente Meloni e il Ministro Giorgetti. Sapete quante telefonate di questo tipo ci sono state negli ultimi sette giorni? ZERO. Non una o due, che sarebbero anche normali. Zero. C’è stata una riunione. E non avevo bisogno che qualcuno mi spiegasse cosa sta accadendo all’energia, ai carburanti, all’inflazione o ai debiti sovrani. Lo capisco benissimo. Per questo mi sono limitato a dire che ritenevo già importante poter contare, per la Difesa, sullo 0,3% del PIL previsto per il 2027, rinviando a tempi migliori il ragionamento sulle ulteriori necessità. Senza discussioni. Senza lotte. Senza obiezioni. Senza vincitori né vinti. La sicurezza che oggi dobbiamo garantire è anche quella economica delle famiglie, di fronte a una crisi che arriva dall’esterno e colpisce tutti. Oggi, invece, scopro dalle parole di un sedicente leader dell’opposizione che il Governo avrebbe deciso di spendere «14 miliardi in più in armi». Il Governo proporrà al Parlamento di utilizzare la clausola di salvaguardia europea, nata per le spese di difesa e oggi estesa anche alla sicurezza energetica, per finanziare sia la sicurezza sia gli interventi contro il caro energia. La Difesa ha aperto la strada a una flessibilità che consente anche di aiutare famiglie e imprese. Una scelta intelligente e utile. Ma sono utili anche le spese per la Difesa, presidente Conte. E ridurle tutte alla parola «armi» significa ignorare, o fingere di ignorare, ciò di cui si parla. Su 100 euro destinati alla Difesa: • 60 vanno al personale: donne e uomini di Esercito, Marina, Aeronautica, Carabinieri e personale civile. Complessivamente, 278.000 persone. • 10 servono al funzionamento quotidiano: carburanti, manutenzioni, divise, mense. Risorse che alimentano il lavoro di migliaia di commercianti, artigiani e piccole imprese. • 30 finanziano gli investimenti, che comprendono anche gli armamenti necessari ad assolvere il nostro compito: difendere i cittadini e la democrazia. Quegli investimenti sostengono un comparto che dà lavoro a oltre 300.000 persone. Non soltanto Leonardo, Fincantieri o Iveco, ma centinaia di grandi, medie e piccole aziende. E alimentano una crescita tecnologica e scientifica con ricadute fondamentali anche nella vita civile. Chi attacca in modo superficiale e indiscriminato le spese per la Difesa colpisce quindi il personale, il lavoro, le imprese e la capacità di innovazione del Paese. Soprattutto, dimentica il compito al quale queste risorse servono: quella difesa della Patria che la Costituzione definisce «sacro dovere del cittadino». A questo punto, però, mi sia consentito distinguere. C’è chi si oppone per un pacifismo sincero o per profonde convinzioni morali. Ha il mio pieno rispetto. C’è chi lo fa per convenienza politica, perché essere contro, senza approfondire, può portare voti. Ne comprendo il calcolo, ma non condivido questo modo di fare politica. E poi c’è chi lo fa perché sta dalla parte dei nostri nemici. Per questi ultimi ho solo disprezzo.

I reviewed the IDF's document identifying 170 Gaza journalists it says were terrorists. For the first 67 entries, the IDF provides a military ID, unit, and rank. Most of these also include an official Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) "martyrdom poster," or a photo of the individual in uniform. In other words, Hamas and PIJ already claimed these men as their own. Roughly a third of this group served in their faction's military propaganda or combat information units. For them, journalism and military roles often overlapped. The other two-thirds held combat posts, including snipers, anti-tank operatives, engineers, and squad and company commanders. For entries 68–170, the detail drops off sharply. Nearly all list only "Military Operative in the Military Wing," and 58 of the last 60 include no military ID. The news outlets track the factions almost perfectly. All 15 Al-Quds al-Youm staffers on the list are PIJ, as are those from Palestine Today and al-Quds Radio. Al-Aqsa TV, Sawt al-Aqsa, Felesteen and Shehab staffers are nearly all Hamas. The news outlets appear to function as personnel pools for their factions. Several family clusters also appear, including at least six likely sets of brothers. PIJ military IDs run low and sequential, and one tight block of IDs belongs almost entirely to media-linked commanders. Fourteen individuals allegedly took part in the Oct. 7 invasion. One caveat: most of the names tied to international outlets fall in the less-detailed tiers, among them Al-Jazeera, Reuters, AFP, the BBC and Anadolu. Those cases deserve closer scrutiny.

Documentario, non ricostruzione fantasiosa. Partiamo da qui, poi parliamo del resto.
Watch the full documentary The Killing Roads, about the October 7th massacre. Set aside the time to watch it through. Then share it with someone who knows the date but has only seen the headlines.

The Killing Roads is a gripping documentary exposing the terror unleashed on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched coordinated terror attacks across the roads of southern Israel. Through raw, unfiltered stories from victims, survivors and first responders, the film documents the unimaginable violence that turned Israel’s peaceful roads into scenes of horror. This is the reality of October 7 told by the people who lived through it. Unfortunately, the film was taken down yet again, so we’ve re-uploaded it. Please Watch. Share. Remember. #TheKillingRoads #October7 #October7Massacre #NeverForget #RememberOctober7 #Hamas #Israel #BringThemHome #StandWithIsrael #Documentary #October7Truth #NeverAgain
