@dr I would hire @namyakhann to redesign your landing page, but even before that (assuming I got what Basedoc does) I'm not even sure you're solving a real problem when you can just tell Claude Code to perform a thorough docs review after each commit.

This is an amazing shot. Pretty memable too…

@daviddorg What does it mean without screens? TV, phone and all the different iterations or just the phone? And how are you going to achieve that?

Okay and who of you couldn't reply to this? Please please only if you couldn't okay?

Empathy is an emotion.
Suicide is an act.
What does “suicidal empathy” actually mean?
Is it empathy for the male suicide epidemic?
Was it suicidal empathy that killed the men?
Or, is it empathy that is so violent it creates a suicidal reaction in men, women, and or children?
Who is committing the suicidal empathy?
Is it women, men, or both?
Also,
Does empathy for false propaganda actually result in the suicide or suicidal attempts of others?
English

Suicidal Empathy is far more dangerous than any weapon that the enemy could ever develop.

@ArtSynchrony @levelsio Good luck with the search, let me know if you eventually find additional info!

Federico, this is absolutely incredible! The way your AI connected everything is mind-blowing. The pirate folklore my father’s cousins always told suddenly feels very real — Genova makes total sense now.
What really hits me is this rich, continuous mixing: Genoese + possible Sephardic Jewish + Portuguese + Indigenous, plus the strong Dutch and Spanish roots that flowed through Pernambuco and kept blending for generations, all the way into modern Rio de Janeiro. So many lives connected across centuries. If my dad were alive, he’d be thrilled.
This research hits different because my self-taught classical art feels like my Italian (Poggi) genetics screaming through me from centuries ago — the same neoplatonic contrapposto bodies that appeared in my drawings when I was just a surfer kid with no training at all.
Thanks a ton, man — I’m sending everything to the family. They’re going to lose their minds. Let’s see what they say!

Funniest part of it that this was mostly Brazilians with Italian heritage getting passports
A demographic that's high educated and high income and culturally aligned with Italy and Europe, I mean they're genetically Italian!
Instead they'll now give away passports to low educated welfare seekers without income from cultures that hate them
It seems European governments enemy is immigrants that are a net positive addition to their culture while wanting to bring in more people that want to destroy their societies

The announcement will be a devastating blow for those who believed the court would uphold Italy’s 160-year history of citizenship by descent, or ius sanguinis. cnn.it/3PBZRVR

Man, with the names you gave me I went deeper into the rabbit hole! Here's a new report. Many new interesting insights, but the most interesting one I think is that there was a Genoese historian from the 1800s, Vittorio Poggi, that did genealogical research specifically on the Poggi lineage! drive.google.com/file/d/1YhDeZL…

Amazing twist, man! Genova makes way more sense now—my pirate Poggi might've been a Genoese corsair after all. 😄 My brothers and cousins are gonna flip when they see this. I tried digging up the old Pernambuco registration link I had, but the page is gone. Still, today things clicked: I found new pages on the earliest guy I mentioned, José Innocencio Poggi (the most distant relative my cousins tracked down so far). Attaching screenshots for you to see. Thanks again for the report—downloading it now. Archivio di Stato di Genova next? Treasure hunt just leveled up!

@mr_alexlogan In my opinion Torre Velasca is one of the coolest examples of brutalist architecture. It's not too far from the Duomo in Milan. In fact you can see it from the top of the Duomo: maps.app.goo.gl/LEkrTaNo8bxj3s…

@hispanicnomad That's not the town of Garda, it's Sirmione a different town on the Lake Garda, which is a lake in Italy, not a city.
And what is portrayed is the main gate to Castello Scaligero, the old medieval castle that looks magical when not packed with tourists

A lot of "Big brand" cities in Europe are actually quite bad, and I always recommend people to skip them
🇧🇪 Brussels
🇩🇪 Berlin
🇬🇧 London
🇳🇱 Amsterdam
🇮🇹 Rome…
Overrated
There are WAY better options hiding in plain sight:
🇵🇱 Wrocław
🇵🇹 Porto
🇨🇿 Prague
🇭🇺 Budapest
🇮🇹 Garda
Social media told me each one was boring, irrelevant, or "not worth the trip"...
And every single time, reality was the opposite
Don't get carried away by "popular knowledge". It's almost always wrong

Fascinating story. Have you tried the Genova angle? The "Poggi" family name is very popular there. Out of curiosity I fed our conversation to Claude+Perplexity and I ended up with a pretty interesting report. Maybe it's info you already know, if not, it might be worth exploring.

My ancestor's story is totally different from the 99.9% of Italians who arrived in Brazil in the 1800s. My family folklore says the original Poggi was a pirate who fled to Brazil to escape justice — and some branch kept his outlaw fortune (sadly not my dad's side 😅).
When I was 19, classical human figures suddenly popped up in my drawings — fast and natural — even though I had zero art training or interest (I was just a surfer). People immediately linked my Poggi name to Rome/Florence.
Years later, a cousin found the first official record in Pernambuco state: our Italian ancestor was already in Brazil around 1765 — way too early for the usual immigration waves. The only missing piece for Italian citizenship was his departure document from Italy. But Rome or Florence had no real ties to early America.
Then an ex-student sent me a photo of a huge POGGI sign on a shop in Venice — I had no idea the name existed there (now I know Poggi/Poggio variants are common in northern Italy). Digging into 1700s Venice, it all clicked: given the Pernambuco date, he could only have come from there.
The funny twist? The Adriatic around Venice was full of pirate activity back then — so the family pirate joke suddenly didn't sound so crazy.
Well, the branch that kept the stolen gold... definitely wasn't my dad!

@mynerdyhome For a millionaire twenty-something she really likes to complain a lot.
And here we go again with the "weird weird" eye squinting. Insufferable.

English

@ArtSynchrony @levelsio Imagine the hurdles they went through, either desperate or incredible adventurers, maybe a bit of both!
English

@fedeandri @levelsio My Italian ancestor probably showed up in Northwest of Brazil before 1765. Only way out of Venice, but no records. Venice started registering in 1860, and Italy wasn't even around yet.

@trekedge @ashebytes Forgive my blunt intrusion Daniel, but you could have just commented "You have beautiful eyes" since I'm assuming that's what you were really thinking. There's no need to mask a compliment (you are beautiful) with a lesser one (you're a good photographer).
