945 #VGO Ahah fuori dal campionato del mondo di pallone DI NUOVO!
Non amo il calcio, non mi interessa, non l'ho mai capito veramente, nelle partitelle giocavo sempre in porta, ero bravino, un anno la nostra squadra arrivò terza al campionato interno della scuola, l'anno dopo mi tagliarono per uno più bravo, begli amici. Ero ricordato per le uscite brutali e particolarmente violente, avevo un soprannome "Gangster".

Un anno con amici decidemmo di rifare al PC i mondiali con FIFA. Non eravamo abbastanza per fare tutti i gironi, quindi alcune squadre le lasciammo gestire al computer, ben sapendo che le avremmo battute perché giocava in modo stupido. Io avevo la Turchia. Pareggiai contro il computer e persi tutte le altre. Non passai il girone. Non credo di averci mai più giocato.

I couldn't think of a better place where to take a portrait with my new, awesome @Mastodon t-shirt that reads: "I write #AltText" : the Louvre Museum, in front of the painting "The Battle of David and Goliath" by Daniele da Volterra.

And may I share an ambitious goal with you?

I want to start advocating for the Louvre Museum to join the Fediverse (they're currently on all Big Tech social platforms only). Let's see what I can do 🤗

Bottle at sea

If I have #astrophysics #astronomy colleagues here working either with Chile, #ESO, or involved in masters/PhD programmes, do you know of any (fully funded) possibility/ training programme to bring in chilian students to study for an astrophysics masters degree, in France, the EU, or elsewhere (e.g. Canada) ? poke @alexg @AlexSanterne @jfg_astro @knud @astro_jcm @sebastienmaret @franco_vazza @hannorein

I am in touch with a chiliean student who would like to do a masters but the new extreme right-wing chilean government has cut funding...

Boosts welcome

Well let me at least point to one legit article today on #astroph, by my colleague here F. Ubertosi:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.28864
"AGN Fueling and Radio Jet Evolution in the Galaxy Group NGC 5044 revealed by VLBA HI Absorption and Proper-Motion Radio Observations"

which is a serious one.

(At least, I think?)

#Italy : I am very proud of the decision of the italian #football national team of boycotting the incoming world cup of football in Trump's america.

The world is literally on fire and people bother to play a silly international competition of this failing sport?

SHAME ON THEM!

We're leading this global reflexion since 2014, kudos to all players for continuing to consistently teach this important lesson
