This I can see — the aversion to separate tabs I’m not sure I understand? And to avoid confusion — my website has one research tab with papers listed in reverse chronological order ✅😅

There’s this little restaurant in Palermo where I once had a dessert based on that idea — plain milk ice cream, cookie crumbs, and little bits of anchovies. Mind blowing

“pane burro e alici” is a trusted snack for children and grownups in Italy (southern Europe?) since who knows how long

FWIW “strength of the tax base” and “budgetary needs” are exactly what you’d want to know to solve any optimal tax problem — joke’s on them.

Trump has softened on the July 4 deadline he set for Congress to pass his megabill.

Was the rest of the country much different? If I think of current street names in Milan they aren’t much different. Although I can’t think of anything named after Umberto I which seems in good taste tbh

Giacomo Brusco @jackbrusco.bsky.social · Apr 26

Fascinating. A bit disconcerting how people kept their reverence for the monarchy, even after all that
