To counter the so called ‘Pride Month’ Meloni’s Italy has launched ‘Family Pride Month’ which will promote traditional family.
Giorgia #Meloni the female #Mussolini Prime Minister of #Italy, received a lot of praise for this move.

Anyway walking around Belgrade today, I have established a theory that there are two basic types of cities in the former communist bloc of Central and Eastern Europe.
Type 1 are the cities with pretty 'chocolate box' central districts that don't seem to have changed much in centuries: eg Kraków, Prague, Lviv.
Type 2 are the cities where you can tell that a Lot of History has happened up to quite recent times: eg Warsaw, Belgrade, Kyiv. Doesn't necessarily mean they're unattractive, but they are complex to engage with.
Bit of a generalisation, but it's something to work with. What do you think?

#Europe #China #Industry #IndustrialPolicy: "Because the entire European edifice was built on the premise that competition is sufficient to guarantee economic efficiency, there is close to zero technical-administrative capability to enforce industrial policy. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, austerity has had similarly damaging effects on state capacity. Asked about the viability of Biden’s programme, Brian Deese, the former director of the National Economic Council, sounded a cautious note: ‘A lot of that comes down to the professionalism of the civil service at the federal level and the state and local level – a lot of which has been hollowed out.’"

For some reason I've become quite brave on this Europe trip about asking for a glass of tap water when ordering a meal. If you don't feel like drinking alcohol, those pissy little 200ml bottles they serve here are a rip-off.
(The ultimate test will be doing it in Germany next time I visit there. I anticipate sharply withdrawn breath and disapproving looks from waiters when I order "Leitungswasser" - which I think literally means "plumbing water".)

“OpenAI says it could ‘cease operating’ in the EU if it can’t comply with future regulation / The EU is finalizing new AI regulations, but OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he has ‘many concerns’ about the law. The EU AI Act would require the company to disclose details of its training methods and data sources.” https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/25/23737116/openai-ai-regulation-eu-ai-act-cease-operating
I propose that they then drop Open from the name. OpenAI is to open source and transparency, as McDonald’s is to healthy food.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of these islands were the first in #Europe to disappear because of #SeaLevelRise - the pace of silting in the #WaddenSea will perhaps not be able to keep pace with rising seas within a few decades, at least not in all places.
I keep seeing #PostcardSwap and it intrigues me. I've noticed that postcards are becoming less and less common with the advent of instant messaging. But I like them - I like sending them, and I like receiving them. As I sit here now, I have a wall of ones I've received since before I moved into this house right in front of me, from all over #Europe and it makes me smile knowing that every one was sent by someone who wanted to share something with me because they know it means the world to me. They're little things, but they are tangible and physical and actual, and I can't imagine ever discarding them.
I occasionally buy old #postcards too, but only if they have been sent, and they are intact including the #stamp. There's something about holding a small piece of #social #history in your hand, knowing that someone kept it because it meant something to them, something that stopped them dropping it in the bin when they were tidying up. Timelessness.
I would not count on #TikTok as a sustainable platform.
Today, a hybrid #Chinese spyware and malware in #US telecommunications has been discovered. #TikTok will, IMO, be banned in the #US, unless sold (unlikely).
In #Europe, it is the 2nd runner up for #megafines, after #Zuckerberg's #Mega has been served a record fine, argues #McGarr, Solicitors and Director of Data Compliance Europe, in his #radio interview...
"Only 9% of Britons now consider Brexit more of a success than a failure, according to new polling.
Some 62% of people describe it as more of a failure, a YouGov survey shows."
