Pero, ¿porqué esta manía de “los mejores callos del mundo” como si España fuese demasiado poco y no se cocinasen también en medio planeta? Es un poco absurdo.

Trump and Vance both electronically signed the MOU with Iran. @mb_ghalibaf signed from the Iranian side, U.S. official said

If you wanted yet another proof that Raphaël Glucksmann is one of the most corrosively stupid politicians in Europe - quite a high bar to reach - please watch this. He says that France and Europe's enemies "have a name and a face, they're called Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Zhang Yiming [the founder of Bytedance]": in other words all the successful tech entrepreneurs out there who aren't European. I literally cannot think of a stupider way to frame the issue of Europe's competitiveness: literally like a team that hasn't won a match in years declaring the league champions enemies of football. Bear in mind this guy is, unfortunately, one of the lead candidates for the next presidential elections. Hard to get worse than Macron, but in his case he absolutely would be: basically all of Macron's worst instincts but with the IQ and charisma of a parking meter.

Anécdota del día: Mucho se ha hablado de la costumbre de Marlon Brando de apuntarse los diálogos en los lugares más desacostumbrados porque no quería o no podía estudiarse sus líneas, apoyándose, sobre todo, en la famosa foto de Robert Duvall con los folios prendidos...

RT @EnriqueKrauze: Recuerdo de Jorge Luis Borges, cuya rectitud moral, gentileza y sencillez realzaban aún más su grandeza literaria.

Israel started massive bombing campaign against Lebanon as soon as a potential peace deal was announced. They’re never going to let us live in peace. They are never going to be satisfied. They’re insatiable fanatics, who want endless war because they think God promised that land to them 3,000 years ago. They’re the religious and nationalist fundamentalists we should have been warned about. That’s so fucking obvious. Just look at a map!! Are the Palestinians occupying the Israelis, or the other way around? Are the Lebanese invading Israel, or the other way around? You would have to be both blind and deeply stupid to not see the reality at this point. I’m furious at our national media. They all lied in unison for decades to trick us into supporting and funding the terrorists. I don’t know that I can ever forgive all the reporters in the national press, who lied to help the fascists, and called their victims “terrorists.” These sick people helped the actual terrorists brutalize the Palestinians for six decades, while actively hiding the truth from us.

Brad told me about this the last time we got lunch and my jaw was on the floor. Thank God America is not always the craziest country on Earth. At the very end, this bewilderingly brutal and spooky story opens out into an even deeper rabbit-hole known as the Chevaline Massacre.

21 anys sense el genial escriptor català i universal, Jesús Moncada. La seva prosa mordaç retrata la psicologia humana i el seu paisatge, la Franja de Ponent. Amb ell podem dir que prou a les imposicions espanyolistes que viu el territori de parla catalana a l'Aragó.

Israel is blowing up entire villages in Lebanon, killing 200 to 300 civilians every 48-96 hours, calling it a ceasefire, with absolutely no consequences. Israel is killing so many Lebanese so regularly that the world has lost interest. Just like has lost interest in Gaza.

Subirachs hizo un homenaje a Gaudí añadiendo su retrato en la Fachada de la Pasión de la Sagrada Familia. No se trata de ningún personaje en concreto, sino que más bien simboliza la humanidad siendo testimonio de los acontecimientos de la Pasión. Está situado en el centro de la Fachada, a la izquierda de la figura central que representa la Verónica. Subirachs se sirvió de una de las pocas fotografías de Gaudí que se conservan, tomada sólo un par de años antes de su muerte, mientras participaba en una procesión del Corpus delante de la Catedral de Barcelona.

'Terror Was Needed to Make Arabs Leave': What the Israeli Army Did in 1948, Revealed Thousands of newly discovered documents now make it possible to tell the true story of Israel's expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…

During Franco's regime in Spain, Luis García Berlanga's "The Executioner" (1963) ran in to censorship trouble in the script stages & also during its release. The Spanish ambassador for Italy, Sanchez Bella, whom Ricardo Muñoz Suay [Assistant director of the movie] knew from his student days when they had been in opposing political camps, insisted on seeing the film before its official screening. When he saw it he was furious; he ranted that it was unpatriotic and anti-Spanish and he accused Berlanga of having been the unwitting dupe of the Spanish Communist party. Venice, that year was seething with left-wing and Anarchist groups demonstrating against capital punishment and against Franco. In Italy, Franco was nicknamed “The Executioner” (the film later opened under the title 'La ballata del boia'—'The Executioner’s Ballad'). In Venice, Spanish officials had already been briefed on the case and knew that the Spanish ambassador did not want the film shown. It seemed to the government that the picture was related to the execution of two Spanish Anarchists on August 17, 1963, only a few weeks earlier, although in fact 'The Executioner' had been shot long before that execution. Muñoz Suay had thought of distributing a poster in Venice reproducing Goya’s famous capricho showing a man being garroted, but he was forbidden to do so. Notwithstanding the official Spanish pressures, 'The Executioner' was screened in Venice. There were some disturbances organized by Anarchist groups, and an effigy was paraded through the streets. The outcome was that the ambassador wrote a long letter to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affair Fernando Castiella, with a copy to Franco, denouncing Muñoz Suay as "the communist instigator of the film" and Berlanga as having been hoodwinked by the “reds.” The letter also attacked the Minister of Information and Tourism, Fraga Iribarne, and his Director General of Cinematography, Garcia Escudero, accusing them of excessively liberalizing Spanish cinema. Sanchez Bella wrote, “This film seems to me to be one of the greatest libels ever perpetrated against Spain, an incredible political tract, not against the regime but against all of Spanish society.” Sanchez Bella, it turned out, was after Fraga’s ministerial job, and ultimately he was to succeed in his purpose, initiating the most sinister period in the late Franco era. In a Council of Ministers meeting in Madrid, Franco was to comment, “I well know that Berlanga is not a Communist. He is something far worse: a bad Spaniard.” After instructions from the censors to cut or alter five of its scenes had been followed, 'The Executioner' was finally released in February 1964. But it was given only a short run in Madrid. Many years later, the exhibitor, Garcia Ramos, commented that official pressures forced him to pull the film out of his theater after only two weeks. The troubles that 'The Executioner' had run into so discouraged and infuriated Berlanga that he withdrew from direction. His next film was not made until four years later in Argentina.

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them. This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.
