Que los artículos sobre política y masculinidad lean como una excursión al zoo tal vez contribuya a agravar el problema que estos mismos artículos quieren combatir o por lo menos entender.
Me ha sorprendido el batiburrillo de figuras tan inconexas en la illustración (Fetterman???). El problema es que el texto es igual de confuso.
A veces siento que vivo en una simulación controlada por @jfmoriche.bsky.social
“He dicho en otro contexto que es una desventaja del «largo plazo» que, a largo plazo, todos estaremos muertos. Pero podría haber dicho igualmente que es una gran ventaja del «corto plazo» que, en el corto plazo, todavía estamos vivos. La vida y la historia están hechas de cortos plazos”

One problem with the “it will be a short war because TACO” argument is that, in this case, other people get a vote in what happens.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Hoy escribo en @elpais.com sobre esos patriotas de los veinte duros, que se destiñen al primer lavado, y su historia de servilismo a potencias extranjeras, de los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis al Franco de las bases, pasando por los germanófilos de 1914-1918. elpais.com/opinion/2026...
Poca gente ha entendido el trumpismo tan poco y tan mal.
Me fucking around: Haha yeah!!! yes!!
Me finding out: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

The War in Iran is creating a fertilizer crisis at the worst possible time for farmers around the world

Summing up Iran news today, I think.
- Hormuz still effectively closed
- Drones still flying
- Iran backchanneled ceasefire requirements via Russia/Pakistan, including no new US/Israel strikes in future
- Iran is getting intel on US strikes from third parties
- Mines still in ??? territory
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
A mí el segundo registro me entretiene tanto como el primero me empacha; está claro que no soy el público objetivo de Sastre.
Which way, Western man?
Tengo la impresión de que si la política de comunicación de la Presidenta de la Comisión consistiese en jamás comunicar nada la posición diplomática de la Unión Europea hoy sería menos frágil. Lo mismo con la Alta Representante.
Éstos son mis compromisos. Si se quebrantan tengo otros.
Espero que alguien en Bruselas esté elaborando planes de contigencia para el 13 de abril.

This is the largest oil supply shock in history in mb/d
The enemy gets a vote. Iran is now delivering pain to Trump via multiple paths
(1) Gulf Kings
(2) Financial meltdown
(3) AI tech oligarchs
(4) Fuel, fertilizer, food disruptions

Summing up Iran news today, I think.
- US/Israel strikes continue
- Iran doesn't want talks, still firing on neighbors
- US asked Israel to stop hitting Iranian energy infra
- US claimed to be escorting tankers
- oops no it isn't
- Mines in the water
- ~80-90% of Iran mine laying capacity intact
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Trump admin geting a taste of its own FAFO.
"The US energy department has warned petrol and diesel prices are unlikely to recede to prewar levels until mid-2027 at the earliest." www.ft.com/content/4b55...
I've been wrestling with this thought for a week now.
Biggest daily drop in Brent in 4 years. On a day the Iranians appear to be mining the Strait.
Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important energy chokepoint that carries about one-fifth of all crude oil, according to two people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue. https://cnn.it/4ljpiay
La gran pregunta de este 8M ha sido si los jóvenes son menos feministas.
La realidad es que los jóvenes son menos machistas, pero más antifeministas. ¿Por qué?
1.- Sí, ha aumentado el voto a la extrema derecha europea tanto entre hombres COMO MUJERES jóvenes.
Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:
Trump is in serious trouble. His war is deeply unpopular. He's now in the toilet on the economy, immigration, and national security. His public standing is getting close to being broken in an irreparable way, akin to Bush after Iraq and Katrina:
