Leyendo los comentarios de un video de Youtube enteré que hay mucha gente en Catamarca que cree que mi bisabuelo era un refugiado Nazi.
Lejos de eso, la casa de Don Otto en Catamarca, fue la casa de un inmigrante Austriaco que creyó y apostó al futuro de la Nación Argentina 🧵

“Architectural Massacres”: modernizing city blocks in Austria (2019–2023).
The older block featured color, rhythm, ornament, varied rooflines, and balconies, creating a streetscape that felt distinctly tied to its place. It carried a strong visual identity and sense of memory. While not every building was a landmark, together they formed a cohesive expression of Innsbruck’s inherited character.
By 2023, much of that texture had been replaced by a large, flat modern structure. While the new building may provide more housing, efficiency, and updated materials, its visual language is far more uniform and utilitarian. The street loses the finer details that invite attention—repetitive windows replace variety, rooflines disappear, and human scale is reduced to a single dominant mass.
In a city like Innsbruck, known for its historic old town and Alpine backdrop, these stark modern interventions stand out even more sharply against the surrounding mountains and traditional streetscape.
Hoy estaba viendo Marty Supreme y uno de los elementos fundamentales de la película es el hecho de que los Japoneses en los 50’ desarrollaron unas paletas de Ping pong que le daba más velocidad y efecto a la pelota. Esto hoy sería imposible bajo el sistema actual.

#Caba RESCATARON A 17 MENORES QUE TRABAJABAN EN UN TALLER TEXTIL CLANDESTINO MANEJADO POR UNA BANDA DE BOLIVIANOS QUE TENÍAN TOMADA LA PROPIEDAD HACE MÁS DE 15 AÑOS
El responsable, que se negaba a abrirle la puerta a los efectivos, será deportado. En la terraza construyeron viviendas precarias sin permiso de obra para que los “trabajadores” vivan.
Ley y orden
El ph de Barzana 1236, a una cuadra y media de la avenida De los Constituyentes, estuvo usurpado por más de 15 años y los oficiales debieron ingresar por la fuerza con una amoladora. “Esto es lo que protegen los defensores de okupas”, dijo Jorge Macri, Jefe de Gobierno porteño.
Política de seguridad
En poco más de dos años fueron desalojados ex hoteles tomados donde se vendían drogas y se refugiaban tratantes de personas en Constitución, San Telmo y Flores. A su vez, el gobierno desalojó más de 680 cuadras de manteros que habían ocupado las veredas de Once, Retiro, Parque Centenario y Constitución.
Allanamiento en la feria ilegal de la Rambla. Así está ahora: descontrol total en el corazón de Mar del Plata, apañado por @Kicillofok. Basta de decadencia. Esa cortada se tiene que terminar. Gracias a la denuncia de @gmontenegro_ok, los van a sacar a todos.
Holy cow.
I’ve been reading the Rockefeller archives, and found this gem, where John D. Rockefeller comments on Napoleon Bonaparte.
"It is hard to imagine Napoleon as a business man, but I have thought that if he had applied himself to commerce and industry he would have been the greatest business man the world had ever known.
My, what a genius for organization! He also had what I have always regarded as a prime necessity for large success in any enterprise - that is a thorough understanding of men and ability to inspire in them confidence in him and what is of equal importance, confidence in themselves. See the men he picked as Marshalls, and the heights to which they rose under his inspiration and leadership.
It is by such traits as these, that men get the world of the world done. It is all a battlefield. Bonaparte, without the able marshals he had about him, would not have been the master of his age. he went into a battle with the knowledge that his marshals could be depended on - that in a given situation they could be relied upon do to the necessary thing. Their devotion to him, coupled with their enthusiasm - that’s another great attribute - and the qualities which his influence upon them brought out, won the fight.
Another thing about Napoleon was his virility - his humanity. I mean humanity in the broad sense, of course. He was a human being, and virile because he came direct from the ranks of the people. There was none of the stagnant blood of nobility or royalty in his veins. There’s where he had the advantage over the the monarchs of Europe to begin with. He could think quicker and along more individual and original lines than any of them. And being from the people, he was in close touch with the people.
The men with whom he had to combat didn’t understand either him, or the people and it is always hard to successful control what you don’t understand. Napoleon didn’t play the game, as the saying goes, as they understood it. And then, coming direct from the people he had the sympathy; he appealed to their imagination; Europe had not yet been education to the fact that it could get along without any kings at all, and the French people, I believe, reasoned that if they have to have king to rule them, it was better to have a king of their own kind and from their own ranks, than from the breed which had ruled them for a thousand years. In an age when the people had been but recently released from slavery and had not acquired the art of governing themselves, leaders of their own kind were few, and that made it easier for Napoleon to rise to the heights which he attained.
A Napoleon would be impossible in our day. Democracy has educated us away from such a think. There are too many able and ambitious rivals to hold in check one who aimed too high."
Quien no tiene nada por lo que esté dispuesto a luchar, y valora su seguridad individual por encima de todo, es una criatura miserable que solo puede ser libre gracias a los esfuerzos de hombres mejores que él.
