Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige, asphaltierte Radweg, die von dichtem Grün umgeben ist. Die Bäume und Büsche auf beiden Seiten des Weges schaffen eine natürliche Tunnelwirkung, die den Blick auf den Weg in die Ferne lenkt. Die Sonne scheint durch die Blätter und wirft das Schatten eines Radfahrers auf den Weg, der sich in der Mitte des Bildes befindet. Der Schatten ist deutlich sichtbar und zeigt die Silhouette eines Menschen, der ein Fahrrad fährt. Der Weg ist von einer leichten Schicht Laub bedeckt, was auf eine Jahreszeit wie Frühling oder Sommer hinweist. Die Umgebung wirkt friedlich und einladend, ideal für eine entspannte Fahrt.

L'immagine mostra un articolo da Wikipedia in italiano, con il titolo "La Corte di Cassazione". Il testo descrive un procedimento tributario aperto contro Craxi, che era in vita, riguardante oltre 10 miliardi di lire. La Corte di Cassazione ha definitivamente riconosciuto che la Commissione Tributaria Lombarda ha composto un quadro probatorio, confermando la pretesa erariale e il ruolo cruciale di Craxi nel gestire denari in Svizzera. La Cassazione ha confermato che il conto svizzero era "materialmente ricorribile al Craxi e non al partito", escludendo l'ipotesi del "possesso" del "compossesso" di Craxi.

The thing I find most interesting about Armin's new sloppy-xml-py open source package, written almost entirely using Claude and Claude Code, is that the code is good simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/21/…

From your piece:
> a lax XML parser (and violation of everything the XML Working Group hold sacred) which ironically is necessary because LLMs themselves frequently output "XML" that includes validation errors.
Hmm, that “necessary” is doing a lot of work.
While I’m uncomfortable with tools that accept malformed XML, I’m categorically against tools that emit it. Nobody should use such tools for anything.
Probably? Just to be pedantic, “valid” means “has a DTD and conforms to it.” “Well-formed” means “meets the basic requirements and thus is actually XML.” In the actual-real-XML-at-work world, it’s sort of a best practice to avoid DTDs and all entities other than things like & and x416;. Dunno how much CDATA gets used, it’s superfluous really.
[Wonders if those entity examples will be preserved on their way into Masto and back out again…]

‘Levensgevaarlijke’ BMW’s van rampschip Fremantle Highway zouden in Japan zijn verkocht
Ze waren absoluut onverkoopbaar, de gloednieuwe BMW’s die de brand op de Fremantle Highway hadden overleefd. Maar waarom staan er dan peperdure BMW Alpina’s, afkomstig van het onfortuinlijke autoschip, te koop in Japan?Bard van de Weijer (DPG Media)
The US has toppled an Iranian government, before. Here’s what happened. Oil fields: In 1953, the US helped stage a coup to overthrow Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh. Iran's move to nationalize their oil was seen as popular in Iran and a victory for the then-USSR

Good thing institutions established to remind us of this tragedy is on the ball and aren’t manufacturing consent for genocide!
