Los vecinos y vecinas de Madrid empiezan a rebelarse contra #AIRBNB. Segun parece 153 accesos a pisos turísticos han sido saboteados en Puente y Villa de Vallecas, Latina, Lavapiés, Carabanchel, Tetuán y Ciudad Lineal han sido saboteados.
Así empieza todo!
Voy a difundir por tierra, mar y aire este vídeo de Adriana Hest a ver si la gente se entera de una vez de la movida.
En serio, invertid 10 p**tos minutos de vuestra vida en entender el mundo y luego ya seguís con el scroll infinito.
I wasn’t planning to comment on the death of MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro without looking closely at his research first & what I found is quite intriguing
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Loureiro was director of the MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center and Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics working on nuclear fusion to create a virtually unlimited clean energy source.
he was shot multiple times at night in his home but…he’s not the first…Eugene Mallove another MIT scientist passionate about fusion energy was beaten to death outside his home in 2004 with 32 lacerations to his face and body
why his research represented an existential threat ??
understand that Loureiro specifically worked on understanding magnetized plasma dynamics magnetic reconnection plasma turbulence & confinement & transport mechanisms in fusion plasmas
his research directly helped inform the design of fusion devices capable of harnessing the energy of fusing plasmas bringing the dream of clean near limitless fusion power closer to reality
what makes his work so dangerous for certain players is it attacked precisely the scientific bottlenecks preventing fusion from becoming commercially viable
in a tokamak plasma is confined by extremely powerful toroidal magnetic fields but magnetohydrodynamic instabilities like tearing modes /disruptions edge localized modes can destroy confinement in milliseconds and damage inner walls
understanding & controlling these phenomena is KEY to moving from experimental reactors to operational commercial plant
if fusion becomes viable in the next 10-15 years it doesn’t just displace an industry it renders obsolete the entire current global energy infrastructure valued at 8 trillion dollars…
a fusion plant uses deuterium extractable from seawater in virtually infinite quantities, one liter of seawater contains enough deuterium to produce the energy equivalent of 300 liters of gasoline & tritium is produced via reactions with abundant lithium
the raw material is inexhaustible decentralized free and accessible to all countries without geopolitical dependence 🤫
but… fossil industry fundamentally relies on controlled scarcity and geopolitical dependence…Oil & gas are geographically concentrated Middle East / Russia / Texas enabling price control via OPEC & oil majors generate 200+ billion dollars in annual profits because they control extraction refining distribution of a scarce resource everyone must buy
fusion destroys this model by making energy abundant and decentralized
any country with seawater access can produce its own deuterium & build fusion reactors: no more importing oil / no dependence on the Strait of Hormuz /no geopolitical leverage based on energy reserves
energy prices would collapse once fusion reactors are amortized because marginal fuel cost is essentially zero!!!
understand what this means for ExxonMobil which owns 22 billion barrels of oil reserves valued on their balance sheet at 1k5 billion dollars ???
if fusion becomes viable these reserves become stranded assets worthless overnight & their refining infrastructure pipelines tankers gas stations all this infrastructure becomes obsolete in one generation
understand that if Loureiro & his team succeeded in precisely modeling these instabilities and developing active control techniques via AI and real-time magnetic feedback it would reduce the timeline to commercial fusion by 5-10 years
that means startups like Commonwealth Fusion Systems would go from 2035 promise to 2030 deployment
the real question is how many brilliant scientists must die under suspicious circumstances before we start protecting our researchers in strategic Fields ???
bc if we leave our most precious minds unprotected we implicitly accept that massive financial interests can eliminate with impunity those who threaten their business model
>guy comes up with plan for clean energy that would make it easily attainable for all
>gets killed or dies under mysterious circumstances
I kind of hate how common this precise scenario is.
Hi. Thai here.
Almost nobody in Thailand uses the term “ladyboy” when discussing trans identity in Thai. The word is an orientalist construction and is a Western projection that exists only within English speaking contexts.
What these viral misinformed takes always leave out is that trans women in Thailand use feminine language in the exact same way cis women do, and they are addressed as women by almost everyone whether they are conservatives, men, women, children, monks etc.
Unlike Indonesia, very few people in Thailand spend time policing other people’s use of language, which restrooms they use and how they choose to live their lives.
These hot takes from people stems from one thing: the fact that most of you have never actually known a trans person, listened to a trans person, or opened your hearts to one in real life.
And you certainly don’t understand how Thai language functions either. In Thailand this is almost unthinkable as Trans people are normalised members of society.
You can’t avoid trans people in Thailand because they don’t need to hide. If their family doesn’t accept them, they still have friends and the larger Thai community to lean on.
They are doctors, nurses, business owners, entertainers, teachers, service workers, creatives, athletes, and more. While you’re all busy debating bathroom politics and indulging in religious and political hysteria, the world keeps turning in Thailand lol
I see this discourse often and it really does expose how colonial language hierarchies erase the nuance of non-Western gender systems - systems that, while imperfect and still evolving, have long recognised identities beyond the narrow Western binary and flatten them into stereotypes for global consumption.
I’ve said this before but social media algorithms amplify English-language content to the rest of the world while Thai opinions remain trapped within Thailand’s content ecosystem. That asymmetry is exactly why so many of you speak about Thais instead of with Thais and it’s why your understanding of Thai trans identity will always sound like a mistranslation.
Dato alentador: la economia mundial hoy esta sostenida sobre la esperanza de este plan de dejarnos sin laburo a todos. Si falla, todo colapsa y nos quedamos sin laburo. Si tiene exito el plan, todos nos quedamos sin laburo.
