Spritz is not a trendy import but a living Venetian tradition — a daily ritual rooted in the Habsburg and Adriatic cultural space of Lombardy-Venetia. Long before global mixology discovered it, Spritz united ordinary Europeans in taverns, cafés, and bacari as a refreshment for conversation and community. From its origins as watered wine to the distinct Select, Aperol, and Campari variants, Spritz reflects the enduring identity of the Veneto and its people — a heritage now diffused worldwide through Prosecco and Venetian food culture. https://radicaldose.com/spritz/

St. Kilda is a remote Scottish island group with mysterious name origins, a vanished Gaelic-speaking community, rare Soay sheep and dramatic Atlantic cliffs. Less than 100 years ago, Hirta still had permanent residents whose unique way of life included gathering wild seabird eggs and living almost entirely from the land and sea. https://radicaldose.com/britain-beyond-the-mainland-st-kilda/

Venetia is more than a modern region—it is a continuous historical, ethnocultural and geopolitical space stretching from the Alps to the Adriatic, with roots tracing back over 3,000 years. From the Ancient Veneti and Roman Regio X, to the Lombard duchies, the Venetian Republic, and into the modern era, its identity persisted through shifting borders and foreign rule. This article explores that unbroken continuity and how Venetia evolved—not as Italy later defined it, but as it understood itself. https://radicaldose.com/venetian-geography-territorial-continuity/

Cemil argues that if Russia is recruiting mercenaries from the global south, so too should Ukraine; since the West isn't doing enough to fill Ukraine's manpower shortage, Ukraine must look elsewhere.

Cemil — On Christmas, it’s worth asking what we’re honoring beyond comfort and tradition. Ukrainians—people like us—are a test of our collective conscience. Their fate and sacrifice should stir our souls and remind us what freedom costs. https://radicaldose.com/people-just-like-you/
