First they came for the journalists. We don't know what happened after that.

@luketaylortcd Thank you, Luke!

[Eric J. Lyman @EricJLyman]

@Miss4202u @ASDylanJohnson @k_ovfefe2 Yes, agreed! He's a she. But, regardless, I hope this illustrates that there are some parts of the world that shouldn't be reported on! Better off NOT knowing what happens in Baghdad, Russia, Washington, Tel Aviv, etc.! Stick to sports reporting and feel-good stories! #April1

@Mishi_2210 Eight, right? The four main ones, the three under the punctuation, and the one over the "I". If you count the word "dot," then nine.

After 14 years, nearly 200 flights, around 35 countries, two wars, and Rome's cobblestones I finally had to retire my beloved @MySamsonite suitcase.

RIP, old friend.

@mamboitaliano__ What a lovely image! If I'd seen it earlier I would have asked to use it for the article below: "In praise of doing nothing":

The huge 60th anniversary #FreeIran rally in Brussels is underway. #NCRI #MEK60

Born in #ancientRome, claimed by the #Vatican, hijacked by #Fascists — #Ferragosto (#Italy’s Aug 15 national beach holiday) has been around for 2,000+ years.
Once, it helped a guy steal the Mona Lisa. Read all about it here:

A viral speech. A lucky break. A decade-long grind.
The story of how #GiorgiaMeloni went from political fringe to running #Italy -- and why she’s still dancing between extremes.

"Coalition to topple Iranian regime gains momentum, amid fall of Assad," writes @EricJLyman in @JustTheNews

The latest from #Time: "Where #GiorgiaMeloni Is Leading Europe."

#Italy’s PM has surprised many -- including me -- by being more moderate in power than in opposition. But her far-right roots still show.

🛑 I’ll discuss all of this in a future post on 'The Italian Dispatch'.

@FrancisXRocca I think it'll be used, and the origins mostly forgotten. "Hold your horses," "Rule of thumb," "CC," "Burning the midnight oil," "hang up (the phone)" are all based on outdated meanings and are still in use.

(Can you tell I've already thought about this kind of thing?)

Is 'La Dolce Vita' dead? Or has it just been hijacked?

A lot of people have an opinion. Click the link for mine.

@PlacesMagi15559 The over-use of image filters?

[Eric J. Lyman @EricJLyman]

@Rainmaker1973 Easy: 33 and 88. Just look at the columns, which are multiples of 9. You see which ones are off and then it's way to find the numbers that'd been skipped.

[Eric J. Lyman @EricJLyman]

@Cromosoma6 @JamesLucasIT Agreed. It's ridiculous.

This are a few of the illustrations from the new post in https://t.co/3m3INVQOof: a fascinating Q&A with author/historian @antmoose. Who is a true Roman? Why hate Caesar Augustus? Why isn’t Rome 'The Eternal City'? Check it out & subscribe for free weekly insights on Italy.

An entertaining and informative alternative take on the Made in Italy question I tackled earlier in the month:

Grazie ai regolamenti UE, basta attaccare un bottone in Italia su un pezzotto cinese per trasformarlo in "Made in Italy"
