Parecería que el retraso de la selección de Uruguay no fue coincidencia y parece más una repercusión de las declaraciones de Marcelo Bielsa respecto a todo lo que sucede en el mundial y sus críticas a la organización, por los altos precios y ambición mercantil en todos los aspectos que a una cuestión administrativa.

When you eat Mexican food, your brain releases endorphins and dopamine. Capsaicin, the compound in chili peppers, binds to pain receptors in your mouth. Your brain reads this as a threat and counters with feel-good chemicals. The burn in a good salsa triggers the same pathway as a runner's high.

This is all happening on top of a food tradition more than 3,000 years in the making. The tortilla in a chicharron taco exists because of nixtamalization, a process Mesoamerican cooks developed roughly 3,200 years ago. Corn kernels are soaked in lime water, which releases niacin, a B vitamin that corn otherwise locks away in an indigestible form. Without this step, corn-heavy diets cause pellagra, a B-vitamin deficiency that killed around 7,000 Americans per year at its peak in the early 20th century. Southern sharecroppers were eating corn without the process Mexico had preserved for three millennia.

In 2010, the UN added Mexican cuisine to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list, the first year any national food culture had ever qualified. The application covered seed preservation, farming customs, ritual preparation, and thousands of years of cooking knowledge passed through communities.

The diversity inside that designation is hard to picture. Mexico has 59 varieties of heirloom corn, more than 60 distinct chili pepper types, and 32 states with cuisines different enough that Oaxacan mole negro (a dark sauce from dried chili and chocolate) and Yucatecan cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork in a smoky red spice paste) share almost no ingredients. Oaxaca alone has more than 20 types of mole. Mole poblano uses more than 20 ingredients, including several chili varieties, dark chocolate, and cinnamon, in a single sauce.

Chicharron fires three systems at once. Fat carries flavor deep into the palate. The crunch comes from pork skin dried, then dropped in 375-degree oil. The trapped moisture turns to steam, puffs the skin, and produces thousands of flavor compounds through the same browning chemistry that makes coffee and seared meat smell incredible. Then the salsa lands capsaicin on top of everything and the dopamine kicks in.

The "best food ever" reaction has a chemical basis. You are tasting dopamine from capsaicin, browning chemistry from pork fat at high heat, and a tortilla built on a process 3,200 years old. These flavors were engineered to do exactly this.

Por cierto a mí me parece de muy mal gusto la postura casi institucional que adoptó Samuel García y el gobierno de NL de apoyar a Suecia, sobretodo cuando Túnez escogió Monterrey como su sede para el Mundial.

Lo que creo habla mucho de los complejos de la gente en ese Estado.

¿Sabías que una de las tumbas más importantes del mundo maya permaneció oculta durante más de 1,200 años dentro de una pirámide? En 1948, el arqueólogo Alberto Ruz Lhuillier descubrió en el Templo de las Inscripciones de Palenque unas losas perforadas que ocultaban una escalinata sellada con piedras y escombros. Tras cuatro años de excavaciones, el 15 de junio de 1952 logró ingresar a la cámara funeraria de K’inich Janaab’ Pakal, donde encontró un enorme sarcófago cubierto por una lápida finamente esculpida y un extraordinario ajuar funerario con una máscara de jade, joyas y ornamentos rituales, en uno de los hallazgos arqueológicos más importantes de México

🇯🇵🇺🇸 Japan ran Unit 731’s human death labs on Chinese soil: the US then gave its scientists immunity for the data instead of justice 🇨🇳

A two-part documentary from CNA Insider released on YouTube earlier this month and it does something most Unit 731 coverage doesn’t. It pairs the full record of what happened inside the facility with the post-war American deal that let the men who ran it walk free.

The series is called Inside Unit 731: Japan’s Secret Human Experiments. Part 1 covers the death lab itself at Pingfang, near Harbin. Part 2 covers what happened after Japan surrendered.

The central figure is Hideo Shimizu. He’s in his mid-90s now. He was a 14-year-old recruit when he arrived in early 1945. In this documentary he goes further than he has before, exploring the scale of the complex, the prisoners referred to as “maruta”, the pathogen experiments where infection was effectively a death sentence and the orders to destroy evidence as Soviet forces closed in. He goes back to the Harbin ruins on camera.

Part 1 documents the experiments in detail. Deliberate infection with plague, anthrax and cholera. Open-air tests at Anda, vivisections, field deployments against Chinese civilians, one documented operation in Quzhou in 1940 used plague-infected fleas and killed thousands. There is testimony from Chinese survivors, it also covers the unit’s Singapore branch, which bred fleas specifically for those attacks.

Part 2 is the harder watch. After 1945, the United States offered Shiro Ishii and the core scientists full immunity from war crimes prosecution. In exchange, they handed over the human experiment data. US officials knew exactly how that data was produced, it fed directly into American biological weapons programmes. The men involved largely avoided the Tokyo Trials and returned to senior positions in Japanese medicine and academia.

The only prosecution that actually happened was the Soviet trial at Khabarovsk in 1949. Twelve men were convicted. The documentary also examines evidence that some Allied POWs may have been used in experiments and the families who are still piecing together what happened through diaries and declassified files.

Eighty years on, this is not a closed chapter. Witnesses like Shimizu are still alive to speak. Declassified records keep confirming the terms of the deal. The victims were overwhelmingly Chinese, on Chinese soil. Western accounts have generally treated Unit 731 as a footnote to the Pacific War or a lesser footnote to Nuremberg. This series refuses that framing.

What it shows is the structural logic: after 1945, great power competition rewarded whoever could supply useful data. China carried the dead and the lasting damage. The men whose work produced that data got protection.

If accountability applied consistently, Unit 731 would sit alongside the Nazi medical experiments in every serious historical treatment. It doesn’t. The question is why power still determines whose dead get remembered and whose get forgotten.

Worth watching.

Watch part 1 and 2 in the thread below.

🇮🇷 Entre porras de “¡Sí se puede!” e “¡#Irán, hermano, ya eres mexicano!”, decenas de tijuanenses se congregaron este domingo afuera del hotel Marriott para despedir a la selección de ⚽️ futbol de Irán y desearle éxito en su participación en el #Mundial2026.

Portando banderas de 🇲🇽 #México e Irán, familias, jóvenes y aficionados al futbol permanecieron durante varias horas en el lugar con la esperanza de saludar a los jugadores, conseguir un autógrafo o simplemente expresarles su respaldo antes de su partida.
