On the 17th of October Milano was overwhelmed by protesters. Among the vastly peaceful demonstrators, a dangerous minority employed violent tactics against people and buildings in the city center. The city, my city, was left burnt and scarred. In this article, I make the case that political violence in democratic policy is never a legitimate and effective tool for social change.

Monday Briefing 12/10/2026

The Monday Briefing welcomes some fresh faces this week, in which we highlight the protest movement sweeping France. Still in France, we discuss Mistral, Europe’s leading LLM model. Elsewhere, we talk about the three-year anniversary of the October 7th attacks, the Nobel Peace Prize, a deal between Putin and Trump, and oil in Trinidad and Tobago. In economic news, we cover the sale of British retailer Boots, a billionaire tax in California, and apocalyptic warnings on AI.

Whose Future Are We Protecting?

We are very good at being horrified for a few minutes. We read the messages. We shake our heads. We say that something should have been done. Then we close Instagram, go to class, meet our friends, complain about our day, and eventually forget. Someone else does not get to forget on command. And perhaps that is where our responsibility begins. In the friend who refuses to laugh. In the person who speaks when everyone else stays quiet. In the institution that keeps caring after the headlines disappear. In the stranger who chooses compassion over curiosity. In all the moments when protecting someone costs us something, and we decide they are still worth protecting. It is easy to say that survivors are not alone. But it is much harder to make sure they actually are not. Whose future are we protecting?

Nelle Foreste Siberiane

Abbandonare tutto per sei mesi, vivere nella taiga siberiana tagliando legna, bevendo vodka e leggendo. Svegliarsi con panorami sconfinati in chilometri di solitudine. E poi scrivere, cercando di restituire tutto questo a chi non l'ha mai vissuto, fermo nella frenesia della vita in società. Il prodotto di tutto questo è il diario di Sylvain Tesson "Nelle foreste siberiane", in un libro che chiede a gran voce di fermarsi a riflettere, di guardarsi attorno, solo, e lasciarsi avvolgere.
Ore 23:45, l’aria si è fatta fredda e il cielo non promette nulla di buono. Sono con un mio amico, siamo in macchina a fumare l’ultima sigaretta nel parcheggio della chiesetta vicino a casa…

Studio or Library: Can Skydance Afford to Be Brave?

Sequels and reboots, or a studio brave enough to make the next Sinners? Warner Bros. has a new owner, and the next few years will decide which one we get. We look at what’s at stake, from Burbank to Venice and Cannes.

To Vandalize or Not to Vandalize? In Defense of Political Destruction

Protests have taken over the streets all across the world, and the media’s attention seems to be taking a very specific stance. Protests have turned violent, and movements have turned to riots and looting. While it is easy enough to condemn this violence, it is also important to understand the logic and political theory behind these acts and see it from a different perspective.
