I recommend this 👇 place wholeheartadely. It's away from Florence city centre, but it's 5 minutes on foot from the tram 2 stop on Piazza della Libertà or from the Parterre final stop of C1 bus you can catch in the city centre. Food & service are excellent. Bonus for (Fiorentina) soccer fans

But Hegseth and Trump's obsession with lethality must be seen more broadly as a disavowal of soft power in favor of hard power. And that in turn can be seen as a critique of a purportedly laxist style of parenting coded as feminine, in favor of a more disciplinarian approach, i.e., daddy is home.

Peeling this one off to a new thread. This also underscores how disconnected Hegseth's fixation on "lethality" is from the political, socio-cultural and societal roles that militaries have played throughout history. Case in point: If your only objective is lethality, why hold a parade? 🧵

A product of a cult of special operations that led to a basic misunderstanding of how US military power is anchored on logistics systems and a global network of bases that allow the US to move what it needs when it needs it to where it is needed America used to master the boring shit that wins wars

We've seen too many news stories warning of economic collapse and not-so-subtly blaming selfish women for not having enough children.

Our indifference to the suffering of others is a battering ram, so of course people put off having kids when they're less sure they'll be able to buffer that battering ram's effects. Great work from great family demographers!
