Really excited to share this image for #MountainMonday today. I took this image on my first ever trip to #Europe last year. We ventured to the #Mountains in Northern Italy for some hiking where we were greeted with freshly snow capped mountains. It made for an incredible welcome to our trip to this area.
This image has become one of my favorites from the trip. Hopefully I will return someday.

America has seen ruinous periods, but never when the president was the one knowingly causing the ruin.
By any reasonable measure, Trump’s first 100 days will be judged an epic failure.
He has been a legislative failure. He has signed only five bills into law, none of them major, making this the worst performance at the start of a new president’s term in more than a century.
The first 100 days in office, described as chaotic, destructive, and a failure. Many commenters express concern over the damage to democratic institutions, international relations, and the economy.
In 100 days, “He has been a legislative failure:
.. an economic failure
.. a foreign-policy failure
.. a constitutional failure
.. a failure in public opinion"
“.. chaos and destruction so high that historians are hard-pressed to find its equal ..”

Thanks to an inquiry posed by @wendy yesterday, I discovered two amazing projects to map community events from aroubd the #fediverse on an @openstreetmap base.

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding.
Putin claims he kidnapped 700,000 Ukrainian children. These stolen children were taken to Russia to be forcibly adopted by wealthy people, who buy them.
What kind of monster would not want that to be investigated?

This uniquely preserved Late Neolithic flint dagger (2900 BCE) was found in Allensbach at the Lake Constance, southwest #Germany. The blade was made of flint from Monte Baldo, northern #Italy. It was fastened with birch tar in a handle made of elderwood.

Content warning On "Prima storia"
Post-war #Italy must have been pretty hardcore:
A man's youngest son falls deathly ill, and the physicians tell him that "only God can help him now!" Then he commands his family to pray, and when his son gets worse, he goes to the village priest and tells him:
"Only you can make God understand that my son is dying, and that he needs to help him!
And if my son doesn't get better: Well, in this package I have five sticks of dynamite from the mines, and if my son doesn't survive, I will blow up the church!"
I mean, yes, this book is a work of fiction, but even fiction has to seem reasonably plausible to the audience...
My Brilliant Friend. By Elena Ferrante. (Trans. Ann Goldstein)
You are an Italian teen girl, growing up soon after WW2, and know nothing beyond your small neighborhood and the prescribed tiny circle of education and life options for girls; luckily, your best friend cares nothing for all of that, though her options become even more limited than yours.

Walking in the fog means finding yourself in a silent, ethereal, almost surreal bubble.
The confusion to the eyes resonates with a slight confusion in the mind, perfect for reflection.

While #Italy new road laws make it harder to create safe #cycling infrastructure, in #Spain from 2025 a new regulation will be in place to improve safety for cyclists.
These rules include:
* Mandatory speed reduction and stricter rules on the 1.5 meters distance when overtaking cyclists
* Overtaking is prohibited when cyclists are approaching in the opposite direction
* Cyclists can ride two abreast, have priority at roundabouts and pedestrian crossings
