No los quiero desilusionar, chicos, pero el FMI también felicitó a Menem, a De la Rúa y a Macri. Siempre felicita por el ajuste y advierte por “las consecuencias”. Pero el público se renueva.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

Keith Wasserman: Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you.

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

Silvina y Gustavo al menos en su momento era la preparación más densa para el ingreso, no hace falta ser un genio porque total ellos te hacen ir dos años a clases desde sexto grado (en vez de uno desde séptimo como la mayoría de los institutos) con un régimen estricto al extremo…

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Me siento totalmente identificada…

Hablar de VIH/sida para muchos sigue siendo un tabú.

Quizás no lo sabías: Asimov murió en 1992 pero recién 10 años después se supo que murió por complicaciones relacionadas con el sida. Había contraído el #VIH en 1983 en una transfusión de sangre, cuando se le practicó una cirugía coronaria.

Post from Peter Sweden: BREAKING: The European Federation of Journalists representing 320.000 journalists have announced they will stop posting on X.

They will halt on January 20, 2025 when Trump takes office, noting the “threat to democracy and freedom of expression posed by the cooperation between the president of the most powerful country in the world, Donald J. Trump, and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk…”

Revenge is a good plot line for a movie not a national policy stance.

Call me an old traditionalist, but it just isn’t Christmas until you can buy Churros in a German market in Birmingham.

Wow. Here is one to brighten up your morning. The first images of the restored interior of Notre Dame cathedral. Breathtaking. In just five years France did it
