Sky TG24 mi chiama per chiedermi di intervenire in diretta domattina sul dibattito su donne in fisica. Suggerisco che invitino una donna. Mi rispondono che è meglio sia un uomo a dire che ci sono donne scienziate, perché detto da un uomo "è più autorevole". 🤨.

Israelis massacre Palestians: no problem for the West. Palestians massacre Israelis: the West is totally shocked. Decades and decades like that, and continuing. If this is not racisms, what is it?.

Fermatevi, pazzi! State trascinando l'Europa in una guerra enorme, in una catastrofe colossale! Pensateci: per nulla! Solo perché non siete più capaci di smettere di litigare dopo tutti gli insulti di cui vi siete riempiti la bocca per due ann!.

Palestinian physicist Sufyan Tayeh was killed by an Israeli attack in Gaza. He was president of the Islamic University of Gaza, held a UNESCO chair, was ranked in the top 2% of scientists worldwide by Stanford University. With him, many others equally important human beings.

Oggi il giornale su cui scrivo, il @Corriere, ha superato Orwell, che prevedeva l'uso ribaltato delle parole da parte del potere. Titolo: "L'offensiva dell'asse del caos" (Cina-Russia-Iran). La notizia è che Israele ha attaccato l'Iran. esattamente l'opposto del titolo. .

Giornali di destra hanno scritto di una mia partecipazione a una conferenza pacifista a Roma. Per @ilfoglio_it e @ilgiornale sarei primo firmatario del relativo manifesto. Come spesso con questi giornali, è tutto falso. Non ero alla conferenza, non ho scritto il manifesto.

Stop, you fools! You are dragging Europe into a huge war, a catastrophe! For no real reason! Just because you're no longer able to stop arguing, after all the insults you've filled your mouth with, during the last two years! Like stupid neighbours fighting for 20 inches. .

Remember our leaders claming that sanctions will crush Russia? Russia growth prediction is 2.6% (IMT). the fastest after China and India. Russia trades with the planet; the West is isolated in its fading illusion of world domination. We must collaborate, not fight.

@riotta Rispondo seriamente: non mi auguro la vittoria di nessuno. Mi auguro che si smetta ora di combattere, uccidere innocenti. Ci si metta a discutere. E se si discuterà per decenni, come a Cipro o Belfast, pazienza. Il problema delle guerre non è chi vince: è come evitarle e fermarle.

Whoever elected, trumpism has won. Wasn't a glitch; was't a moment of confusion. It's half America, millions and millions of people, big powers, churches, newspapers, money, think tanks, a political class. Is the sad reality of our world. It is not Trump: it is half a country.

@riotta @ilfoglio_it @lucianocapone @NATO Ciao Gianni @riotta. Guarda che ti sbagli; l'articolo che citi aveva informazioni errate: non ero alla conferenza e non sono primo firmatario di un bel nulla. Quello che auspico, come quasi tutto il mondo, è che invece di ammazzarci si discuta. Non vittoria, ma pace. Tu no?.

Sometime I have difficulty understand humans. Is it so difficult? I do not extend NATO to your borders, you do not invade Ukraine. Do we have to keep behaving like posturing chimps all the time? I am the biggest! No, I am the biggest! And if we were reasonable, once in a while?.

The Western narrative -Afghans fearing Talibans and cherishing Western democracy- has melted like snow. You do not conquer a country in a flash, with less than a quarter of the government's solders, no air power, no tanks, unless you have the true support of the population.

I'm searching for the easiest way to illustrate quantum strangeness. How about this: You want to hit a target behind a wall with two windows, with a dart. There are target's positions that you can hit if either window is open, but you cannot hit if both are open. Other ideas?.

Bad faith of the NewYorkTimes: "The US generates 14% of global carbon emissions, China responsible for 31%", without adding that Cina's population is more than 4 times the US. Emission of each American are higher, not lower than a Chinese!

Ho una domanda. Giorgia Meloni ha chiuso la sua (bella) dichiarazione la notte della vittoria con "l'Italia ci da fiducia, noi non la tradiremo". Bello. Poi: ". come non l'abbiamo mai tradita." Per i suoi amici, questo è un riferimento al 1945? O me lo immagino io?.
