We have received several emails from X stating that our tweets are unwelcome in Pakistan and claiming—according to Pakistanis—that they violate their laws. To esteemed @GovtofPakistan: we wish to inform you that your anti-democratic laws—much like those of Muhammad and Allah—carry no weight or value for RadioGenoa. We take this opportunity to officially ask if you could take back all your citizens who have invaded Europe and committed heinous crimes, even those without documents. Furthermore, we kindly ask you not to dump waste into the rivers, given that the world belongs to everyone, and a little civility wouldn't hurt. We will come to visit you soon to check if everything is clean. Sincerely, RadioGenoa.

Can we please have this woman run for anything so that we can elect her and ultimately make her POTUS?

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

The Islamic regime murdered 100,000 Iranians, half of them children, whose sole crime was protesting for freedom.

Why did no one performatively walk out during the Iranian president’s speech at the UN?

🚨🇮🇹 Meloni announces a BURQA BAN in schools, plus a LIMIT on the number of foreign students per class!!

"The proposed measure will introduce an obligation for the parents of foreign students with serious school-integration problems to learn Italian, and it will introduce a BAN on the burqa and niqab at school.

In Italy, nobody, in the name of a real or supposed tradition, can decide that a young woman must hide herself.

Equality between men and women is not negotiable. It is not negotiable on our streets and it is not negotiable in our schools."

Brava, Giorgia 👏👏👏

It is extraordinary that clerics and scholars who have been banned in Muslim countries are allowed to 'preach' here

Could it be that the Home Secretary is a Muslim, whose religion hinders her attempts to be even-handed ?

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.

The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.

A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.

Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture.

The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.

Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.

"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.

Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.

The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.

The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.

How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

[Ricky Gervais @rickygervais]

Virtue signalling substitutes applause for action. By turning conviction into costume, it cheapens the cause, alienates the unconvinced, and leaves the real work to those too busy doing it to pose for the cameras.

John Cleese, 86, is being targeted by activist group Deenified as he tours England with his Holy Grail stage show. The group has accused him on X of "using your platform to attack Islam" and "spreading dangerous misinformation," with one activist calling free speech "a convenient shield for anti-Muslim hostility."

Cleese rejects the Islamophobe label entirely, calling himself "Islamosceptic," and has pointed out nobody ever called him "Christophobic" after Life of Brian. Islamic outlet 5Pillars has gone further still, explicitly demanding he be de-platformed.

Rupert Lowe has already called this what it is: a pressure group trying to bully an 86-year-old man into silence over jokes and honest opinions. He's right, and he's right to tell Restore Britain to back Cleese publicly.

These people don't want dialogue. They want submission. Every time someone caves to this kind of pressure, it teaches them the tactic works, and they come back harder next time for the next target. Cleese is refusing to bow, and every single person who values the right to criticise a religion without getting hounded for it should be standing directly behind him.

Protect @JohnCleese, at all costs.

Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci removing her chador during her tense 1979 interview with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Qom, Iran...

In October 1979, Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci traveled to Qom, Iran, to interview the Islamic Revolution's supreme leader. To get inside the room, Fallaci was forced to cover herself from head to toe in a heavy black chador, leaving only her face visible.

The conversation inside the room was tense from the very start. Fallaci did not hold back her questions.

She pushed the Ayatollah on political executions, the sudden shutdown of independent newspapers, and the sharp loss of rights for Iranian women under the new regime.

When she asked about the forced wearing of the veil, Khomeini dismissed her concerns and claimed the garment was meant to protect young and respectable women. He then added,

"If you do not like the Islamic dress, you are not obliged to wear it."

Fallaci took his words literally and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Imam. Since you tell me so, I am taking it off right now."

With a quick move, she pulled the chador off her head, leaving her hair completely exposed right in front of the Supreme Leader.

Khomeini was furious.

He stood up without saying another word and walked out of the room. The room fell silent, and the interview was abruptly stopped. However, Fallaci refused to leave Iran until he returned a day later to finish the conversation.

This confrontation became legendary in the history of journalism.

It showed a reporter refusing to bow down to authority, even in one of the most dangerous settings imaginable.

Fallaci proved that real journalism requires standing up to power, asking hard questions, and refusing to be silenced by fear or tradition.

When journalists trade raw courage for easy access and comfortable silence, we lose one of our strongest shields against tyranny.

In an era where true courage in reporting feels rare, her brave stand reminds us that honest journalism still has the power to light up the dark, giving a voice to the voiceless and inspiring future generations to speak truth without fear.

A welfare state and free immigration will obviously bankrupt any country.

AI + robotics is the only path to universal high income for everyone on Earth.

Nigerian Catholic Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe:

“The total elimination of the Christian population is underway. A genocide at the hands of jihadists.”

Anagbe says Benue State, where his diocese is located and where he says 98% of the population is Christian, has become one of Nigeria’s most dangerous areas. He says that attackers kill civilians, destroy churches, burn farmland and drive entire communities from their villages before occupying the abandoned territory, describing it as a “calculated strategy of Islamization.”

He highlighted the Yelewata massacre, where around 200 people were killed, saying attackers set fire to a room containing civilians and “burned everyone alive, including two babies aged three and five months.”

A 2024 European Parliament resolution cited estimates that 52,000 Christians had been killed in Nigeria since 2009 and that 18,000 churches and 2,200 Christian schools had been destroyed.

Misleading post that fans the flames of hate by AOC

The New Glenn incident (static fire explosion) highlights how newer, less-flight-proven systems can still surprise you even on the ground. Blue Origin's BE-4 engines had solid ground testing, but the full stack integration + hotfire revealed something in the aft section that cascaded. Fewer full-vehicle tests and a more conservative (slower) development pace mean less real-world data under flight-like conditions. (space.stackexchange)

SpaceX's philosophy — fly often, blow things up on purpose if needed, and fix fast — has given them a steeper learning curve but more resilience. Starship has had rough flights, but the team turns anomalies into upgrades quickly (heat shield tiles, flaps, stage sep, etc.).
That said, no rocket is immune to pad issues

@TheRealNumber6 @MarcusHouse @lifeatstagezero You're mistaking SpaceX for Blue Origin.

Next week, the SpaceXAI team will build a company from the ground and livestream it.

“We'll use Grok Bot for every part of the build - from ideation and product development to real engineering work and deployment.”

@aijackass @farzyness @SpaceXAI @bot Hoping the war would crack the regime isn’t the same as predicting it would. A lot of Iranians in the diaspora wanted that. What they underestimated was how far the IRGC would go against its own people to stay on top. That doesn’t tell you anything about a steering wheel.
