Tener que explicar otra vez lo obvio, y hablamos de ciudades (el titular tampoco es muy acertado): "Los expertos y las marcas coinciden: en Europa viviríamos mejor si sustituyésemos la mayoría de coches por motos" https://t.co/RqC9QQu4KS
Le digo en su cara al subdirector de El Mundo que hoy sus trabajadores hacen una protesta, no firman ninguna de las informaciones que se publican, porque llevan 15 años con el salario congelado.
Y acto seguido pasa esto….que no sé cómo calificar…¡TREMENDO!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
IMO #MotoGP should get rid of tyre-pressure penalties for restarts. Teams run within fractions of a Bar using the data they have, but the restart doesn’t start in exactly the same conditions. This is why there were so many penalties today and this is why they should get rid of them for restarts
En 1616, los holandeses destruyeron miles de árboles en la isla de Run y asesinaron a sus habitantes para asegurar su monopolio de las especias. Entre 1803 y 1964, los británicos arrasaron el 60% del bosque de Tasmania mientras exterminaban a la población aborigen.->
Esta es la 78ª temporada del Campeonato del Mundo de Velocidad, conocido como MotoGP. Liberty Media se empeña en reescribir la historia, ignorando los datos del pasado, los de Duke, los de Surtees, los de Hailwood, los de Agostni, los de Doohan... Hay que respetar esa historia.
Ha muerto Jan Thiel. Los éxitos de Jamathi, Piovaticci, Bultaco, Minarelli, Garelli y Aprilia fueron obra suya. Una persona encantadora, que tuvo una intensa vida de carreras, estrechamente ligada a Ángel Nieto. DEP.
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.
Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe. https://t.co/w0gXQeRHGu
I don't know if people understand just how insanely egregious this is.
First of all, 1) not only are NATO spending targets NOT legally binding (nothing in any NATO-related legal text mandates a specific GDP-based threshold for defense spending), but on top of this 2) Spain requested AND RECEIVED an exemption from the 5% target at the 2025 Hague Summit - NATO changed the declaration's language specifically to allow Spain to sign while publicly declaring it would not comply (https://t.co/q3VE2Je3TS)
This means that, legally speaking and according to NATO's own rules, Spain is doubly within its rights: there is no binding obligation to begin with, and Spain was excused from even this non-binding obligation.
That's the first point: Germany's chancellor just endorsed - from the Oval Office - the U.S. punishing a fellow EU nation for refusing to comply with an obligation that doesn't exist in law, under a political pledge Spain was excused from at a NATO summit.
The second point is that this 5% target has nothing to do with "defense", quite the contrary in fact: it is pretty explicitly an imperial tribute to the U.S. that will actually **weaken** European defense.
That was Spain's main argument for refusing to comply: Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said that "committing to 5% would not make us any safer" because it "would only reinforce our dependence" on the U.S. (https://t.co/QUMDyfvWDP)
That's the insane thing about EU defense spending: in recent years, the more it has spent on defense, the more that spending has flowed to American contractors as opposed to European ones, making the EU defense industry weaker (https://t.co/XHGLW71tX0). Increasing spending to 5% doesn't strengthen European defense: it accelerates exactly this transfer.
All the more insane given the well-documented production backlogs in the U.S. defense industry and its inability to produce at scale: US defense analysts - including from Trump-adjacent think tanks like AEI (https://t.co/c3DobMYpru) - openly acknowledge that European customers would be deprioritized behind U.S. ones in any real conflict.
AND, critically, a defense industry from a country that's increasingly hostile to Europe - explicitly so in its National Security Strategy - and whose weaponry has "kill switches" that allows for remote disabling.
I mean, the sheer madness of it: anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that DOUBLING your defense spending to enrich a foreign arms industry that has kill switches on your weapons, can't meet its own military's needs, and increasingly treats you as an adversary, is not even remotely a defense strategy - it's suicide.
That's why having Merz - in the oval office, sitting next to Trump - endorse economic coercion against the one EU country that's still sane enough to see through this madness is so egregious, and frankly straight-up traitorous.
For those who know Asterix and Obelix, Spain is the "one small village still holding out against the invaders" and Merz is Cassius Ceramix, the self-described "gallo-roman" Gaul village chief who's the incarnation of all sycophants after his tribe were conquered by the Romans.
I'm with Asterix, and all Europeans should be too.
ACOM es una tapadera del Mossad, y en un país civilizado que se preciase, sería desmantelado previa investigación judicial.
ACOM está vinculado a David Hachuel, el CEO de Excem, la empresa tapadera del NSO Group que David heredó de su padre, Mauricio, y que gestiona el software Pegasus en España, ya sabéis, esos que espían a nuestros políticos y que cuando son requeridos judicialmente, se niegan.
ACOM, además de ser una letrina mediática hedionda, cumple su funcion de amedrentar con demandas a todo aquel que se cruza en su camino, como buen lobby que es.
ACOM debería estar prohibida.
