Hoy el Cardenal @FernandoChomali lanzó su carta Crisis y Misión como plataforma para la pastoral de la Arquidiócesis de Santiago. Como por acá no leen mucho los documentos eclesiales, se las cuento en un HILO

Marina Otero (U. de Harvard) sobre la IA y el medio ambiente: “Un centro de datos siempre va a tener consecuencias ecológicas” La académica explicó que, en el caso particular de Chile, la mayor preocupación está en la cantidad de agua que utilizan esas instalaciones, ya que podría terminar afectando a los vecinos de comunas periféricas de la capital, como Quilicura. radio.uchile.cl/2026/06/14/m…

Singer Bocelli sends a message to Italy's March for Life in Rome: "Welcoming Life is always the right choice" «Life, when it is welcomed rather than feared, multiplies and the civilizations that have prospered are those that invested in new generations». This is the core of the message that renowned Italian singer Andrea Bocelli sent to the National March "Scegliamo la Vita" ("We Choose Life"), the largest March for Life held annually in Italy, which is taking place today through the streets of Rome, drawing the participation of thousands of people. Bocelli was unable to attend the Italian March for Life in person, as he is currently in Mexico for the opening of the FIFA World Cup. In his message, Bocelli recalled the story of his mother, «whom doctors advised against continuing her pregnancy, but she chose to trust life and not to step aside. I owe everything to that choice», the singer explained. His words were met with enthusiasm by the organizers, who stated: «It encourages us to reaffirm that a truly healthy and progressive society is one that protects life from conception to natural death, and that therefore all legislative and cultural proposals aimed at promoting assisted suicide, euthanasia, and the suppression of an innocent life through abortion - including the increasingly 'liberalized' use of pharmacological abortion - are unacceptable». The Italian March for Life "Scegliamo la Vita" ("We Choose Life") is held every year, organized by dozens of Italian pro-life and pro-family associations. Its aims are: to call for an end to abortion (legal in Italy since 1978 under the well-known Law 194); to oppose any form of legislation on assisted suicide and euthanasia (still illegal in Italy today, though support for such measures is growing, particularly among left-wing political parties); and to reject any form of embryo manipulation.

La visita del Papa a España ha dejado numerosas viñetas ingeniosas, divertidas y que hacen pensar. Abro hilo con las mejores, comenzando con esta de @HUMORJMNIETO con León XIV subiendo al avión con su mochila en forma del mapa de España bien cargada de cariño.

What an amazing way to visualize early human migration. Lovely map by @HarvardCGA. A great colour scheme and an appropriate map projection! Source: buff.ly/3lbxonJ

Haciéndose nuestro hermano, el Hijo de Dios mira a la gente, mira a la humanidad: ve la opresión que aplasta y la violencia que quita la fuerza. Ve las heridas de las guerras y el vacío del consumismo. Ve rostros reducidos a máscaras, familias rotas por el mal y jóvenes ilusionados por falsos ideales. Jesús ve y ama. Ama y sufre por nosotros, con nosotros: su compasión expresa no sólo cercanía fraterna, sino voluntad de redención. #EvangelioDeHoy (Mt 9,36 – 10,8)

We have this tendency to want to find the one true cause of low birthrates. But we already have the answers, mostly. It is multicausal, a bunch of things you would expect. It's not the same factors everywhere. I just wrote an article about this. x.com/MoreBirths/status/2065…

El diario Le Monde, uno de los medios más importantes de Francia, destaca hoy la experiencia chilena de la Ley de Etiquetado como referencia internacional. A 10 años de su implementación, más de 32 países han solicitado información y asesoría basándose en el modelo chileno para avanzar en legislaciones similares. Una política pública basada en evidencia, que mejoró el acceso a información clara, reguló la publicidad dirigida a niños y abrió camino más allá de nuestras fronteras. El desafío sigue vigente: fortalecer la regulación y avanzar hacia entornos alimentarios más saludables. lemonde.fr/planete/article/2…

Estuve 39 años de mi vida creyendo que no quería ser mamá (loable, respetable) pero fui mamá a los 40 años y es lo mejor que me pasó en la vida. Hubiera tenido más. Respeto a quienes no quieren, pero… quizás no saben. 😲 ahí les dejo chicas. 🤭

We have become so obsessed with public influence that we have forgotten the private world is where people are actually formed. In our homes, in our laps, in our wombs, this is where it all begins. Society begins in a rocking chair with a woman holding her baby. That is the essence of civilization right there. Before a man becomes a leader, he was once a little boy at his mother’s kitchen table. Before a woman becomes a mother, she was a little girl watching how her own mother carried herself. Before a child goes out into the world, that child must first learn what love is, what discipline is, what beauty is, what sacrifice is, what faith is, what marriage is, what womanhood is, and what manhood is. They discover all of this inside the home. And whose sphere is the home? It is ours. It is the woman’s sphere. Women are the keepers of that world. open.substack.com/pub/elisab…

I was once asked by a female academic leader why there was a 10 yr gap in academic output on my CV I said that the “gap” was where the most important work of my life happened—having 4 boys in 5 years and then helping to keep them alive my only regret is not having more children

Los gurús educativos insisten en que "si el alumno se aburre, es culpa de tu clase". No. El desinterés es sistémico. Y no pasa nada, nada de nada.

German workers have seen their real wages squeezed since the 2022 energy crisis, with real wages still barely exceeding pre-pandemic levels.

What would it require to enforce Piketty’s plan? About this matter, he is conveniently vague. Confiscating something on the order of 10% of world GDP and redirecting it through a newly created supranational body does not happen by asking nicely. You cannot restructure the global economy at that scale without a coercive apparatus that dwarfs anything in human history. The mechanism must be authoritarian. It would require a world government with the power to tell billions of people which jobs they may and may not hold, what they may build, what they may eat and how many hours they are permitted to work. And to what end? “Climate change” is an insufficient answer when Picketty’s entire edifice is built on a discredited foundation. The report relies on a baseline from the RCP8.5 climate scenario that projects Earth warming by as much as 4.8 degrees Celsius by 2100. But last month, the UN’s own climate panel officially retired RCP8.5 (always a high-end estimate) as “implausible.” A more central projection is about 2.7 C. Replies to Piketty’s X feed pointed this out immediately. His response, as far as anyone can tell, has been silence. That leaves the inequality argument. Worldwide income inequality is nearing a 150-year low, but Piketty insists that radical redistribution of wealth is essential for the Global South. And where have billionaires and wealth been popping up fastest in recent decades? Embarrassingly, data from Piketty’s World Inequality Database confirms that it’s in South and Southeast Asia, as well as East Asia. These are the exact Global South regions that have spent recent decades rescuing hundreds of millions of people from poverty through market-directed economic growth. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Me impresiona que quienes se dicen liberales hacen juicios morales sobre personas solo porque son millonarios como Musk o apoyan determinadas posiciones políticas. Se supone que la quinta esencia del liberalismo es respetar las opciones individuales sin jerarquizarlas

Una gran viñeta para un inolvidable viaje ¡Gracias @HUMORJMNIETO por está perfecta crónica final!
