Sai quando indossi un pantalone comprato almeno 35 anni fa, a Via del Vantaggio, in un negozio che non esiste più da circa 25 anni, e quel pantalone presso di te è testimonianza e riprova che c’è stato un mondo prima di questo, dove tu eri vivo e facevi cose e compravi cose.

We need an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell. We have control of the wheel. The 1.5 degree limit of global warming is still just about possible. But we need to fight harder. Now.

[Palestinian women] reported that soldiers took degrading pics of them and put them online. Such photographs are a form of blackmail. One woman said the soldiers told her: “No one will marry you, no one will touch you after they see what we did to you.”

Observational studies are as useful at telling us a drug is effective as asking a kid’s mother is at telling us if the kid is smart.

Wouldn’t you think that the healthier and larger the population affected by an intervention, the more robust the evidence supporting the intervention should be?

A Sant’Anna di Stazzema i nazifascisti uccisero 560 civili. Era il 12 agosto 1944. Ada Battistini, 13 anni, fu risparmiata da un giovane soldato tedesco che sparò a una pecora. Adesso Ada è morta. Moriranno tutti quelli che sanno. E sarà ancora più facile rimuovere, smemorare

@adamcifu kindly published my comment to the new but opposing recommendations on breast screening of women in their 40’s from @USPSTF and @cantaskforce. Progress in treatment deserve more praise for lower bc mortality in this group.

1988 Archibald (“Archie”) Cochrane d (b 12 Jan 1909) CBE. Father of evidence-based medicine. Lack of valid organized summaries of medical evidence resulted in his founding the UK Cochrane Centre Oxford 1992 & the International Cochrane Collaboration

2/His first randomised controlled trial was conducted when he was a German POW. His data persuaded the camp commandant to improve the prisoners’ diet. His 1972 book ‘Effectiveness & Efficiency’ is groundbreaking for promoting RCTs to assess health service interventions

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people’s right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom. Julian’s freedom is our freedom.

O mundo está um pouco melhor e menos injusto hoje. Julian Assange está livre depois de 1.901 dias preso. Sua libertação e retorno para casa, ainda que tardiamente, representam uma vitória democrática e da luta pela liberdade de imprensa.
