Funniest thing about the Central Europe heat wave fuss is that, all of a sudden, the Spanish siesta, closing stores mid-day, and dinner at 10 PM doesn’t sound so lazy Southerners.
We had 35 degrees for centuries before AC existed. Welcome to our life. You will get better at it.
Ark of Bukhara, Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
The name refers to the massive, 1500 years old fortress at the centre of Bukhara, a 2000 year-old town which played an important role in the Silk Road trade and the Islamic renaissance. As such, it was attacked countless times by a variety of players, including the Sāmānids, Qarakhanids, Karakitais, Mongols, Timurids, and the Shaybānids, who made it the capital of their own state, the khaganate of Bukhara. All entered after long sieges, because these 20m high walls were only breached by Genghis Khan and the bombs dropped by the Red Army during the Russian civil war.
An important oasis in the Kyzylkum Desert, Bukhara became a famous centre of learning, mentioned by all the important philosophers of the Islamic Golden Age including Omar Khayyám and Ibn Sina, also known as Avicenna, who died in 1037 CE, and is considered to be the father of modern medicine. He had this to say about the library inside these walls :
“I found in this library such books, about which I had not known and which I had never before seen in my life. I read them, and I came to know each scientist and each science. Before me lay gates of inspiration into great depths of knowledge which I had not surmised to exist.”

¿Conocías este grabado? ¿Te recuerda a algo?
Esta estampa de Miguel Gamborino de 1813 reproduce un dibujo del fusilamiento de cinco dominicos por los Franceses en Sagunto, el día 18 de enero de 1812, durante la Guerra de Independencia.
"Solo hay dos fuentes de conocimiento: leer y viajar. Y si la gente leyera y viajara más no se plantearía ni votar a Trump ni que la tierra es plana".

Esto de @sandrasabates11 sobre los empresarios violadores murcianos es, BRUTAL, lo mejor que verás en mucho tiempo.
Se aprovecharon de la condición social de las niñas para violarlas.
NECESITAMOS UNA JUSTICIA QUE NO SEA CLASISTA.
¿Los habrían dejado en la calle si, en vez de ser empresarios y ricos, hubiesen sido migrantes y pobres?.

@gemtavih @Miguelahc92 @Currikitaum@ToniHerg Claro. No se trata de castigar, pero dejar participar a países que están en medio de un conflicto bélico hace que el televoto tenga un sesgo político enorme.
