https://twitter.com/EdConwaySky/status/1090913145361702912 Italy now officially in recession. Although one analyst says it's technically never not been since 08: https://twitter.com/APetimezas/status/1090915993063444480 I can only assume Salvini is desperately scrabbling through Benito's autobiography for tips

WaPo this morning said that you can sense an almost desperation in the way di Maio and Salvini are throwing poo poo at Macron in order to prevent them from shittalking each other's parties ahead of the Euro elections.

I see the Democratic Party is the same in Italy as it is in the US. Pelosi is Italian-American now I think about it, so I guess she's keeping tradition alive.

Char posted:Within our territorial boundaries, we had a lot of coverage, yeah. Kinda hard to read most of them because they paywall (stingy fuckers) but the majority of them are basically reporting this as the Nutty Racist Salvini being At It Again with a subtext of "Europe needs to stop ignoring the refugee crisis." Then there's Bild (the fash paper) asking why she chose Italy, with the fade out before the paywall box implying she's doing it to deliberately stoke tensions between Germany and Italy.

What is Zingaretti like? He seems like he means well. Is he being hamstrung by the Renzi wing of the party, or is he just as useless? He seemed to have done decently in the Euro elections, given the state of the party when he took the wheel.

Sulla Faex posted:That was fake, wasn't it? I tried watching the video but couldn't find where he says it, and I saw some other comments calling bs too Yeah, turns out it was fake. I would make a pithy statement of "this just shows how dumb trump is that many of us believed it" but frankly sharing fake news isn't great even if it's funny.

Cat Mattress posted:That would have to be Fred Trump, who could barely squeak by if the elections are at the end of the year (he turned 35, the minimum age required to be POTUS, on October 11, 1938). As a Klan sympathizer if not member, he definitely would have allied with the Axis. He was arrested in 1927 while present at a Klan riot where he was charged with failing to disband when ordered to by police. Given the two sides were the KKK/Mussolini supporters on one, and antifa the other, I'm gonna guess he was in the former camp.

I saw that a bus from an Italian province to Lyon was basically told "stay in your loving bus" and quarantined. I do not envy the people stuck on a bus while also being told "one of you might be infected."

Just looking at the recipes for both, Parmigiano has a whole lot of special requirements (like previous evening milk with morning milk, or 55C temp) whereas cheddar is just throwing some rennet at a bowl of milk and calling it a day. Can easily see why the latter is easier to get decent.

They put out an update later saying that someone else had stolen them and when the Czech authorities found them they wanted time to investigate the shipment to figure out which scumbags did it, but after speaking with the Italian diplomats agreed it was better to send the masks to where they're needed urgently rather than try and figure out who tried to steal them.

So I just heard in passing that the 500k covid tests that flew from Italy to the US were because Trump bribed one of your local companies to screw you all over? Is that true?

SlowBloke posted:Scrivo in italiano perché ho il sentimento che tradurlo in inglese non renda. To be honest machine translation is pretty good for European languages these days. I hadn't heard about this serac collapse (British politics has been a little hectic the past week) but that seems pretty devastating, particularly as Draghi says it's climate-related. Extra worrying given this forecast from a few days ago: https://twitter.com/SimonLeeWx/status/1543391444299198464 Which his latest forecast (sorry he's zoomed in on the UK section) shows is likely to hit in 8-11 days https://twitter.com/SimonLeeWx/status/1544433093574070272
