Cuando haces televisión nunca sabes cómo dar con la tecla.
Pero a veces, sin saber por qué, das en esa tecla.
En una semana informativamente vertiginosa, la historia de cuatro chavales que se hicieron músicos y quedaron marcados por un accidente, conecta con gente que incluso hacía tiempo que no veía la tele.
Emoción, pausa, ternura, verdad, autenticidad, humanidad.
Televisión hecha para bien.

In the last year alone and against my vote, Congress has sent more than $10 billion in taxpayer dollars to the extremist Israeli government – to buy more of the bombs & weapons they're using against the Palestinian people.
Enough.
U.S. complicity in this horrific war must end.
My colleagues gave repeated standing ovations to Netanyahu yesterday.
I hope they remember the starving children of Gaza who will carry the scars of this disaster for the rest of their lives.
Novak Djokovic says tennis is endangered at the club level, ‘If we don’t do something about it globally, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle or pickleball’
“In terms of innovation in our sport… other than Slams, we have to figure out how to attract a young audience. Tennis on one hand is in a good place, but at the same time, when we look at Formula 1 for example and what they’ve done in terms of marketing, in terms of growth of the sport, in terms of the races around the world and how popular they are.. I think we need to do a better job on our respective tours. The grand slams are always gonna do well. But I think our tours need to do better. We are lucky to be very historic and a very global sport. But I think one of the studies that was done by PTPA 3 or 4 years ago showed that tennis is the 3rd or 4th most watched sport in the world along with cricket. Number 1 is football or soccer as you call it in the states. Second is basketball. Then it’s tennis and cricket. But tennis is number 9 or 10 on the list of all sports in terms of using its popularity, commercializing or capitalizing on that. I think there’s a huge space for growth. We’re quite fractioned as a sport. There are quite a bit of things for us to collectively look at and try to improve it. We need to grow the number of players that live from this sport. Very rarely do I see in the media that you guys are writing about the fact that you have only 350 to 400 players both men, women, singles, doubles across the board that live from this sport on this planet. That’s deeply concerning for me. Yes, we talk about the grand slam winner wins this or that. The focus is always on the grand prize but what about the base level? We’re still doing a very poor job there… very poor job. Tennis is a very global sport and it’s loved by millions of children that pick up a racquet that wanna play, but we don’t make it accessible. We don’t make it so affordable. Especially in countries like mine that doesn’t have a strong federation, that has Grand Slam or history or big budgets.. so I think collectively we all have to come together or create a new foundation, a corner stone of really what tennis is about.. which is the base level. The club level. Now we have paddle that is growing and emerging. People kind of have fun with it and say ‘Yeah but tennis is tennis. Tennis is the king or queen of all racquet sports.’ That’s true. But on a club level, tennis is endangered. If we don’t do something about it, globally or collectively, paddle, pickleball in the states, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle and pickleball. Because it’s more economical. You have one tennis court… you can build 3 paddle courts on one tennis court. Do the simple math. It’s just much more financially viable for the owner of the club to have those courts. These are some of the things I wanted to share. In the grand scheme of things, we need to address all these challenges and issues. Because they’ve been out there for a while. I don’t think we’ve been addressing it in the proper way.”

@tapairportugal any update in your web recently? I can't add extras to my booking. Since you assign seats randomly, you force us to pay to select seats, when the only thing we need is to sit together, something relatively important when traveling with kids (range 3 to 9)
@canos@tapairportugal Tiene toda la pinta! Brutal… cualquier oportunidad 🤦🏻♂️ es una estafa^2, estafa sobre la estafa de tener que pagar por sentarme junto a mis hijos en el avion 🤷🏻♂️
@TurkeyHillDairy where are you hiding the All Natural Chocolate Chip ice cream?! I can’t find it anywhere… why do you torture me like that?!? #BestIceCreamEver
Quería felicitar a la @FIDE_chess por lo bien que mantiene la tensión durante el mundial de rápidas. Los pgns sin funcionar y las cámaras que se apagan o congelan. Por fin el ajedrez es un thriller. Un aplauso para ellos.
@p_ferron@AirEuropa Nosotros, todos en filas diferentes y solos. Al involucrar visados, no pudimos hacer check-in online. Los del mostrador de check-in le pasaron el marrón a los de la puerta de embarque, los de la puerta de embarque a l@s azafat@s, y finalmente nos lo arreglamos entre pasajeros
Tienes toda la razón, @p_ferron ! Lo mismo me pasó el verano pasado cuando viajamos con los 4(!!) niños a Valencia (edades 8, 6, 4 y 2!!). En nuestro caso con American Airlines. Parece ser que están intentando compensar por el tiempo de pandemia 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ @AirEuropa
1/n @AirEuropa cómo es posible que haga una reserva conjunta de tres personas, entre ellas una niña de 5 años, y al hacer el checking online no pueda elegir los 3 asientos juntos? at. al cliente me indica q solo pagando se puede hacer?
