In questo video spiego perché nel delitto di #Garlasco i testimoni Bermani e Muschitta sono scientificamente attendibili. Il fatto che il contenuto delle loro testimonianze metta nei guai persone potenti, che le provano tutte per farla franca, non ne dimostra l'inattendibilitá.

We all want Henry Cavill for Bond. Like this isn't hard. Just do it.

The crazy thing about this is that Henry Cavill is the no-brainer pick for Bond, but everyone knows how faithful he is to lore. Ironically, *he* would do Bond justice but he exists in an era where the power players are hostile or resistant to an accurate depiction of the spy.

#Garlasco, un suicidio diventa un altro omicidio La Procura di Pavia indaga sulla strana fine di Giovanni Ferri, il pensionato trovato morto nel 2010 (e vicino di #Sempio). Ora si cerca il Dna sul coltello che il meccanico avrebbe usato per tagliarsi la gola e il polso. @ilgiornale ilgiornale.it/news/cronaca-g…

Garlasco, un suicidio diventa un altro omicidio

Il pensionato trovato morto nel 2010 (e vicino di Sempio) forse eliminato perché aveva visto qualcosa

The carving of a spy by Francesco Pianta on a wooden altar front (1657-58) in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Venice is quite something. #ArtofSpying

This is James Bond. This is the proper choice. Don't talk to me about age. And I see this everywhere online; so many people see it's the obviously correct choice.

Bland, James Bland. Henry Cavill is right there, but no, we have to go into the cabinet for a bit of milquetoast. Sigh. James Bond is going to look like a middle school guidance counselor.
