In 1993, AT&T launched an advertising campaign directed by David Fincher that somehow predicted pretty much everything about how we work and live today: tablets, smart watches, GPS, on-demand entertainment, and more
"Lo mejor para las turbulencias del espíritu, es aprender. Es lo único que jamás se malogra. Puedes envejecer y temblar, anatómicamente hablando; puedes velar en las noches escuchando el desorden de tus venas, puede que te falte tu único amor y puedes perder tu dinero por causa de un monstruo; puedes ver el mundo que te rodea, devastado por locos peligrosos, o saber que tu honor es pisoteado en las cloacas de los espíritus más viles. Sólo se puede hacer una cosa en tales condiciones: aprender".
"Sources II", Margarite Yourcenar
At the UN General Assembly, Colombia's President Petro reminds the world that "Latin America was invaded several times by the same people that are now talking about fighting invasions" in Ukraine. He asks why the U.S. has billions of dollars to wage war, but not for anything else
Sanciones para ti, pero no para mí:
Los EEUU compran $944 millones de fertilizante ruso, cifra récord.
- Que Europa sancione a Rusia por la libertad y la democracia, aunque destruya su industria: 🥰
- Que la agroindustria USAmericana renuncie a fertilizantes putinistas: 🤬
El (casi) millmillonario australiano Tim Gurner dice en alto lo que piensan las élites económicas: solo somos trozos de carne a su servicio.
La guerra de clases existe, y la ganan por goleada. Tuya es la decisión de luchar o dejar que estos psicópatas te pasen por encima.
Si de verdad eres un auténtico Millennial, demuéstralo alcanzando el podio en este nuevo Trivial que he creado. Música, televisión, anuncios...y sobre todo mucha nostalgia. ¡Que lo disfrutéis!

This is Spanish spy and double agent Juan Pujol Garcia in his uniform as a lieutenant in the Spanish Republic Army.
Up until World War II broke out, Pujol failed in all aspects of his life. He failed to be a student, soldier, businessman, and cinema magnate. Not to mention, his marriage was falling apart.
When the war broke out, Pujol approached the British three different times to work for them.
When they turned him away, he approached the Nazis, and they accepted him (giving him the codename Arabel). Once he earned credentials working as a Nazi spy, he approached the Allies again, this time getting a job as a double agent (codenamed Garbo).
He began to feed the Nazis a combination of misinformation that was true but useless. Any high-value information always got to the Nazis just a little too late. He even started a spy network consisting of 27 sub-agents. However, in reality, none of them existed. They were completely made up. Nevertheless, he submitted their expense reports, and the Nazis paid their salaries.
At one point, Pujol explained why some high-value information got to the Nazis late. He told them that one of his spies had died and even managed to get the Nazis to pay pension to the imaginary spy's imaginary wife for her loss.
Not only did his false information get the Nazis to waste millions of dollars, but he was also instrumental in convincing the Nazis that the attacks on D-Day were just a diversion, and the real attack was yet to come, keeping vital resources away from the front lines.
Pujol is one of the only people to ever get an Iron Cross from the Nazis (which required Hitler's personal authorization, since he wasn't a soldier) and an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) from King George VI.
After the war, Pujol feared that he would be hunted by surviving Nazis. In 1949, with the help of MI5, Pujol travelled to Angola where he faked his own death from malaria. He then moved to Lagunillas, Venezuela, where he set up a small bookstore and gift shop, living in anonymity until his death in 1988.

I, a tot això, dissabte dia 1 s'enlaira EUCLID, la missió de l'ESA que ens donarà respostes sobre l'energia i matèria fosca!
Ahir us explicava un dels 2 mètodes que emprarà la sonda per extudiar què és l'energia fosca i quina és la distribució de matèria fosca a l'univers...
Cuando el astronauta Jim Voss fue a la estación MIR se fijó en que los cosmonautas rusos subían al espacio con algo...peculiar.
