Italy Implements a New Labor Leave that Allows Workers to Care for #SickPets

#Italy has taken a historic step in #LaborRights and #AnimalWelfare by approving a special leave that allows workers to take time off to care for their sick pets. With this measure, the country became the first in the world to legally recognize that caring for a domestic animal can justify an authorized absence and, in some cases, a paid one.

#Iran war reveals Italy PM Meloni now sidelined by Trump
...

The episode highlighted #Rome’s limited #influence in #Washington and cast doubt on #GiorgiaMeloni’s claim of privileged access to Trump, revealing #Italy as a peripheral player in US strategic decision-making.

@StefanMuenz Völlig unabhängig vom Inhalt: #Europesays und #pubeurope sollte man einfach nicht verlinken.

@ukraine @ruud I was annoyed by "news" from their numerous accounts in my feed and after complaining a follower of mine taught me how to mute their whole instance for my profile. I hope many Mastodon admins will block the instance server-wide and eventually someone will take down this pseudo journalist nonsense.

@ukraine @ruud I’ve tried to find out who they are, to no avail. I looked hard. The most I can discern is that it is an opaque news aggregator with no disclosed operator, masked domain registration, and no transparent corporate identity.
