Una serata fredda e piovosa qui in Toscana. Cosa faremmo senza il Festival di Sanremo? Spero che tutti coloro che lo seguono si stiano godendo la prima serata. E ora - Raf!

As someone who observes the USA from afar, I continue to encounter USians that are tRump supporters. I cannot reconcile his actions or those who voted for him. It sadly seems easier to just avoid “unknowns” than to risk yet another socially awkward moment. A volume knob by virtue of remoteness.

From my perspective, it seems there are many more new BMV and VW EVs registered here in Italy as well. We thread the needle in balancing politics and economic interests with that of the environment.

Europeans waking up to Trump's reelection is a mix of shock, fear, and déja vu. The French clutch their croissants in horror, Germans briefly show emotion, and the Brits mutter, "Democracy's a mistake, we warned you." Meanwhile, the Swiss fortify bunkers, and Scandinavians start group therapy…

From the gospel of Marcone - If I'm a newbie here, that makes me a 'Skydet'. Since this is a new platform, we're all inherently newbies, so we're collectively 'Skydets'. Would 'Skadet' would work as an alternative? We're a democracy. Vi ringrazio per il vostro tempo e vi auguro un buon blu.

I wonder if all of this is a prelude for a split of the USA as we know it. Would 'we' be better off with an amicable parting, having separate nations as trading partners? Is living in endless deadlock and threat of continued conflict under the same roof really sustainable? 🔽

Are those that refused to abolish slavery and foster Jim Crow not the same culture redefined in refusing ‘woke’, gay rights, immigration, women’s right to choose, etc.? Is fascism as a means to their ends reconcilable? Are our ideologies as to what our nation should be simply incompatible? 🔽

Had there been no British North America, would two incompatible ideologies also be forced to live together, carrying on in a ‘cold civil war’ in kind? There was no Mason Dixon line back then either, and migration occurred to form what we have today – A peaceful coexistence between two nations. 🚨

The USA is not solely risking a brain drain of visa holders (H-1B, etc.) due to fascism. Young, educated US citizens in the workforce have the one of the easiest means of emigrating. Many, driven by their political repugnance and/or self-preservation, aspire to do so. Education breeds enlightenment.

In case you were not there in early days of Twitter… DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK LISTS. It sounds like a great shortcut, but malicious actors come in and create lists that include folks from our side. This was a huge problem in 2017 on Twitter. Just block trolls as they hit your feed.
