Si bien es cierto que la inmigración haitiana es un problema, no entra ni siquiera en el top 10 de problemas que tiene República Dominicana ahora mismo, pero es más fácil echarle la culpa al que no tiene ni voz ni voto.
I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.
Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.
This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.
Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.
Idris Elba says he was given one warning before auditioning for The Wire: don’t let them know you’re British.
Trevor Noah: “I’ve seen people get shocked when they find out you’re not American.”
Idris Elba: “I was unemployed, bro.”
“I was living in New Jersey. I was bartending, working the door, DJing.”
“Before you know it, you just start speaking like an American.”
“Then my casting director said, ‘This thing has come up. It’s called The Wire.’”
“‘But if you go in, you cannot let them know you aren’t American.’”
“‘This is about Baltimore. It’s very specific.’”
“So I auditioned for four weeks straight in an American accent.”
“Then at the fourth audition, they looked at me and said…”
“‘Idris… where are you from?’”
Trevor Noah: “‘Where are you from?’ That’s the phrase every immigrant is terrified of hearing.”
Idris Elba: “My palms started sweating.”
“I’m thinking… they told you not to say anything.”
“I looked at them and said…”
“‘I’m from East London.’”
“The room just exploded.”
“‘Oh my God… we had a bet.’”
“‘We knew you weren’t from Baltimore or Brooklyn, but we never guessed England.’”
“‘You got the job.’”
“‘We don’t want you to play Avon.”
“We want you to play Stringer Bell.’”
“I walked out thinking…”
“‘Did my life just change?’”
Estoy viendo a un grupo de dominicanos en Washington Heights diciendo que hay que apoyar a Haití en el mundial. No se lleven de estos singa su madre en twitter, no todo tiene que ser negatividad y división.
Croatian freediver Vitomir Maričić achieved one of the most extraordinary feats in human history by holding his breath underwater for 29 minutes and 3 seconds, a new Guinness World Record.
Experts had long considered such a duration impossible. While a trained dolphin can typically hold its breath for 8–10 minutes and most humans can barely manage one or two, Maričić remained completely still underwater for nearly half an hour on a single breath.
The attempt pushed his body to extreme limits. As the minutes passed, powerful contractions wracked his diaphragm and his organs endured intense physiological stress. Yet through years of rigorous training, mental discipline, and specialized breathing techniques, he stayed calm and focused until the end.
What makes this record even more impressive is Maričić’s purpose. He didn’t do it for fame or personal glory, he used the achievement as a powerful platform to raise global awareness about ocean conservation, marine protection, and the urgent threats facing our oceans.
A stunning demonstration of human potential and a heartfelt call to protect the planet’s most vital ecosystem.
