En Venezuela muchas cosas increíbles han pasado desapercibidas. Entre ellas, el aporte a la ciencia de la inmigración asiática. Conozco el tema porque lo investigué y escribí un libro que @CEAAULA publicó. El profesor @gregoryzam escribió un hermoso prólogo. 1/5

Oslo, seis meses después del Nobel.

Vine a encontrarme con Ana Corina Sosa, la hija de María Corina Machado. La misma que se paró frente al mundo entero a recibir ese premio cuando su mamá no podía estar ahí.

Lo que me dijo hoy me quedó grabado: “No somos libres hasta que no salga el último preso político.”

Hemos avanzado. Se han salvado vidas. Cientos de presos políticos liberados. Eso hay que celebrarlo.

Pero no descansamos hasta que salga el último.

Venezuela, muy pronto serás libre. 🇻🇪

Ukrainian strike on Mariupol port. It significantly impacts Russia's ability to use the port in Russian-occupied Mariupol and will complicate the logistics of the Russian troops.

Electrical substations, radar equipment, repair infrastructure, a control tower and tanks with fuel and lubricants were hit, as well as the sanctioned dry cargo ship "Lady Augusta", which is part of the Russian shadow fleet.

This joint operation was carried out by the 1st Corps of the Azov Naval Group, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Central Military "A" District and the Unmanned Systems Forces.

No, sweetie.

Donetsk was a city of a million roses when its own Ukrainian flag flew above it.

Back then, it was also the fastest-growing and most rapidly prospering city in Ukraine -- home to what was the finest regional airport in Eastern Europe, one of the world's best football stadiums, a state-of-the-art railway terminal, and one of the cleanest, best-maintained cities in the region.

Its elites were running Kyiv, and every time I visited Donetsk as a student, riding the famous trolleybus Route No. 2 through the city, I was amazed by how many new office buildings were appearing, how much money was flowing into the city, and how many international companies were opening their doors there.

Fifteen years ago, to us kids from Donbas, Donetsk felt like the center of the universe because it had everything one could possibly dream of. It was a young city of universities and libraries, where the overwhelming majority of boys and girls from across Donbas went to study, including those from my own small hometown an hour away by bus.

Names like Liverpool or Detroit Rock City may mean nothing to you, but our Ukrainian Donetsk was a city of great rock clubs and unforgettable concerts. We traveled there to see Western bands perform.

We bought rock merchandise at the legendary Right House store near Krytyi Market. Scorpions, Rihanna, and Beyoncé performed at the famous Donbass Arena. Schoolchildren from across Donbas were bused in to watch Shakhtar Donetsk matches. The city even had a famous monument to The Beatles.

It was a city where we sang songs on guitars in its beautifully maintained parks and along the Kalmius embankment before heading out to buy the famous "green Donetsk burgers." Our older friends moved there after graduation, formed rock bands, recorded full albums, and held wedding celebrations in the squares around Donbas Arena. We traveled there to visit the legendary Radio Market in search of films, music, and books.

And then you arrived.

And you turned the wealthiest, most prosperous Ukrainian city into a piece of shit.

You deceived many of its people with sweet promises of Russian oil-fueled prosperity broadcast from television screens, but what you brought instead was war.

You transformed a thriving city into a criminal wasteland ruled by ethnic gangs from Russia, into a kingdom of Stalinist terror straight out of the 1930s, complete with torture chambers in the infamous Izolyatsia prison camp. You turned the magnificent Donetsk Airport into lifeless gray rubble, while the vast stands of Donbas Arena have spent a second decade slowly being reclaimed by weeds instead of hosting Champions League finals and Metallica concerts.

You swept away an entire generation of the city's men through your forced mobilization and threw them against Ukrainian machine guns until there were barely enough people left to keep basic municipal services running. Because of you, prosperous Donetsk became a withered desert without reliable water, because your war destroyed the canal system that carried water from the Siverskyi Donets River into Donbas. For years now, people have lived with chronic water shortages and have been reduced shitting into plastic bags forever.

You dragged Donetsk back like seventy years in time. You turned it into a depressed backwater, devoid of hope and future. Even ten years ago, tens of thousands of people, the most active, the most talented, the most entrepreneurial, fled the city and found refuge in Kyiv and elsewhere in Ukraine. Many of them still remember our Donetsk with tears in their eyes, the Donetsk that existed before the arrival of the "Russian World."

You transformed it into something that even my pro-Russian acquaintances are shocked to see when they return after years of occupation.

It was you who trampled the million roses of our Ukrainian Donetsk into shit beneath the tracks of your tanks and the boots of your death troops, turning them into a foul swamp of death and despair.

And that stain will forever remain on the conscience of fascist Russia, which brings nothing but destruction, decay, and death wherever it goes.

Quiero compartir con todos ustedes la emoción de un encuentro increíble ayer, aquí en Washington.

Desde que llegué, me he encontrado a cientos de venezolanos en todas partes…en las calles, en el aeropuerto, en los mercados, y por supuesto, en sus motos haciendo delivery por todas partes. Muchos son chamos jóvenes, echándole pichón con dos y hasta tres trabajos. Gente honesta y trabajadora que están aprendiendo muchísimo de este país.

Hace dos semanas conocí a Luis, un muchacho que me impresionó mucho; un venezolano fajado y super cariñoso. Él me habló de sus compañeros que trabajan haciendo delivery y me dijo que les gustaría reunirse conmigo. Y por fin logramos hacerlo!!

Ayer tuvimos un encuentro inolvidable. Por un par de horas, nos sentimos en Venezuela…cada uno compartiendo su historia, sus dolores, sus sueños… Caminos distintos y un sueño común: “quiero volver a Venezuela”.

Ustedes saben que a mí me cuesta quedarme sin palabras….ayer, más de una vez, me costó responder. Aura, que cruzó el Darién con su bebé de dos años, Iris que me prometió retomar su carrera de ingeniería, Roger que me pidió que lo abrazara en nombre de su mamá a quien no ve desde hace 6 años…

Nuestra diáspora es un testimonio de reciedumbre, creatividad, generosidad y amor.
Venezuela los necesita a cada uno de ustedes. Van a regresar siendo otros seres humanos; llenos de aprendizajes e ideas, y valorando como nunca la familia, la Libertad y la tierra propia.

Van a volver.
Regresarán a casa.
Reunirán a sus familias.
Retomarán sus estudios, sus trabajos y sus proyectos.
Y construiremos juntos una Venezuela Tierra de Gracia!

Sherry Turkle lleva décadas investigando nuestra relación c/la tecnología. Su próximo libro, 'Artificial Intimacy', se enfoca en la "nueva costumbre" de hablar con las máquinas. ¿Por qué les confiamos miedos e intimidades? ¿Sólo es una reacción ante la soledad y la incertidumbre?

Vivimos en un entorno plagado de artilugios, a estas alturas imposibles de escindir de la humanidad, aunque seguimos venerando lo natural como si fuera un espacio puro, bueno y originario. En "Platón contra las máquinas" Marcos Alonso no se pregunta si la inteligencia artificial es inteligente, sino algo más radical: ¿tiene sentido seguir hablando de lo ‘artificial‘? https://t.co/ruG3DKOt92 #MediaEvolution #IA #AI

🇺🇦 🇷🇺 F-16 DESTROYS 4 RUSSIAN HELICOPTERS IN LOW-LEVEL STRIKE ON TAGANROG BASE

Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets reportedly carried out a bold airstrike against a Russian helicopter base near Taganrog in Russia's Rostov region.

Flying at very low altitude to avoid radar detection, the aircraft allegedly struck helicopters parked on the airfield, destroying at least four, including Ka-52 attack helicopter models.

The base, which had reportedly been used to support assaults on Ukrainian positions, was left engulfed in flames, with multiple secondary explosions reported across the site.

If confirmed, the operation would mark the first deep manned strike inside Russian territory using Western-supplied fighter aircraft.

👇 Will Russia move more of its aviation assets farther from the front line after this raid?
