If you had to list every famous person Jannik Sinner has met, how many do you think you could name? 10? Maybe 20 or 30? I started digging and honestly, I couldn't believe what I found. 170 people. From religious leaders and royals to film stars and Olympic champions, from fashion legends to music stars, from entrepreneurs to world leaders - and 62 fellow tennis players, men and women, who have shared a moment with him on or off the court. This young man from the mountains of South Tyrol has quietly become one of the most magnetic figures in sport today. The more I looked, the more I realised - nobody moves in circles quite like Jannik Sinner. This is the Sinner Effect (Part 3). Video link in the comments section.




Papa Leone XIV @Pontifex_ln si pone come ultimo baluardo della nostra libertà e della nostra umanità in un mondo senza leader e senza coraggio di fronte ai mostri della tecnopolitica autocratica #MagnificaHumanitas



'Caoslandia' siamo noi. Trattiamo Caracciolo come un guru degli affari internazionali. È nelle scuole a parlare ai ragazzi, nelle università a insegnare, in TV ad avvelenare il discorso pubblico. Ma Caracciolo rispecchia il paese che siamo. Un paese che non sa leggere e che preferisce le vignette e i bigini preconfezionati all'analisi critica autonoma; la dottrina geopolitica alla storia e la strategia. Che preferisce il genere tragico e gli orizzonti ineluttabili per evadere ogni responsabilità. Che capisce poco e male il mondo perché è fissato sul proprio ombelico e sullo specchio della propria cameretta. Un paese pieno di anziani in cui anche i giovani crescono pensando da vecchi. Un paese ancora intorpidito dall'oppio degli intellettuali di 50 anni fa, che ancora oggi non riesce a immaginare un futuro, che non agisce e chiama il proprio immobilismo "pragmatismo" o "realismo". Che disaster.

This is what we think at @EGIC_: the US-Iran deal could be a useful off-ramp for Washington and Tehran, but it risks being paid for dearly by the Arab Gulf neighbors. An Iran that feels “empowered” after years of sanctions and isolation will have far fewer incentives to restrain the IRGC and its infiltration networks. The restitution issue is central: the attacks on critical GCC infrastructure were not “incidents” but deliberate strategic choices. Without genuine acknowledgment of the damage and concrete compensation, any “regional reconciliation” will remain pure façade. From a European point of view, European countries should: • Immediately strengthen strategic partnerships with the GCC - not only on energy, but also on security and intelligence - to ensure Iran does not perceive a power vacuum in the Gulf. • The EU must link any sanctions relief or new trade deals to concrete non-aggression guarantees and respect for neighbors’ sovereignty. • Actively support collective security mechanisms in the Gulf (expanding the role of the European Union Naval Force or bilateral agreements with the UAE and Saudi Arabia). In short: Europe has every interest in de-escalation, but not at the expense of its Gulf partners’ security. Otherwise we risk facing a new energy and security crisis on our doorstep in just a few years.

Albanese clearly violated UN rules requiring impartiality. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said that Albanese “presents herself as a UN independent expert, yet she is neither an expert nor independent — she is a political activist who stirs up hate.” @ordefk fdd.org/analysis/2026/…

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Court of Appeals reinstates sanctions against U.N.'s top Hamas terrorism supporter. For now, U.S. may “implement and enforce the designation of Francesca Albanese as a designated foreign national under Executive Order 14203.” You celebrated too soon, @FranceskAlbs.
