La Academia de Hollywood se originó como un sindicato patronal para contrarrestar las luchas laborales de guionistas, directores y actores. Nunca lo olviden. Aquí unos párrafos de Joseph McBride al respecto:

Ursula von der Leyen affirme qu’il faut «urgemment» réarmer l’Europe Suivez notre direct ⬇️

⚠️ Musk now advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN.

In April 1990, Bush [I] dispatched a high-level Senate delegation...to convey his warm regards to his friend Saddam and to assure him that he should disregard irresponsible criticism from the “haughty and pampered press,” and that such miscreants had been removed from Voice of America. (1/2)

Por fin conocí la última morada de Lolita, aproveche para pedirle un milagro, espero y me lo conceda.

(1990) Detente raises further problems here. What John Kennedy called the “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy” has been regularly invoked to mobilize support for intervention abroad and state industrial management at home. Now these policies are jeopardized as the threat loses its credibility.

#LoMásLeído | El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, confirmó que recomendará a la fiscal general, Pam Bondi, que investigue a políticos mexicanos por posibles vínculos con el narcotráfico.

Chas Freeman, in a recent interview with Jyothishman at 'India & Global Left' mentions a "textbook" by Edward Luttwak titled "Coup D'Etat: A Practical Handbook."...

Aggression is fine if it’s in U.S. interests. It’s bad only if it’s opposed to U.S. interests...The United States can claim it’s opposed to aggression on ABC News without ridicule because we have a disciplined intellectual class who look the other way and/or lie as a matter of course. (1/2)

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

[I]nto the 1960s, Western leaders feared that Russia’s economic growth would inspire "radical nationalism" elsewhere, and that others too might be stricken by the disease that infected Russia in 1917, when it became unwilling "to complement the industrial economies of the West,"...(1/2)

If the president defies the courts and Congress does not impeach him for it, the Constitution simply ceases to exist.

The law, such as it is, exists only at the pleasure of the sitting president. He can kill investigations into his friends or order them against his foes.

President George W. Bush — the lovable goofy grandpa who was celebrated in the press on the 20th anniversary of his invasion of Afghanistan — let down all the bars. He brought in the Baltic states and others [into NATO]. In 2008, he invited Ukraine to join NATO, poking the bear in the eye. (1/2)

Never in a million years would I have imagined that the U.S. would fail in its obligations to pay Fulbright scholars. It takes one failed monthly payment to destroy the trust that took 80 years to build.

A l’aube de la Première Guerre mondiale, il mit sur orbite «la NRF», fut le grand ami d’Alain-Fournier et un soutien indéfectible de Proust. Un recueil des textes de Jacques Rivière sort chez «Bouquins» et Mollat.

Kaja Kallas just pronounced that the EU opts for continued war in Ukraine, until the aggressor (Russia) is... defeated. Ms Kallas is the EU's phoney foreign minister (for we do not have one, really). Even so, who authorised her to make this pronouncement? No one. That's who.

In 1492, the Jewish community of Spain was expelled or forced to convert. Millions of Moors suffered the same fate. The fall of Granada in 1492, ending eight centuries of Moorish sovereignty, allowed the Spanish Inquisition to extend its barbaric sway. (1/3)

Trump asesta otro golpe a la lucha mundial contra el VIH y pone fin a la financiación de ONUSIDA

We were there. We saw how the police, unprovoked, fired CS canisters at protesters. The riots followed. A panic-stricken gvt clearly tried its best to mar the magnificent peaceful demonstrations with violence. They failed. Contempt is their just dessert. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

For my latest edition of @bloomberg.com Buying Power, I wrote about the enormous economic and societal risks that come along with this week’s news that the richest 10% of Americans now do fully half of the country’s consumer spending. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Here we go again: The Romanian model of overturning elections when the radical centre does not like their result is now spreading to Germany. The delusion that the enemies of democracy will be defeated by banning democracy spreads like a deadly virus. www.ft.com/content/35f4...

Etats-Unis : un juge annule les licenciements massifs de fonctionnaires voulus par Trump

European elites ... [are]not very different from the dominant forces in the US. They are somewhat different, but closely interrelated. There are mutual investments and business relations. The elite sectors of Europe don’t particularly object to the US policies. Source: chomsky.info/20060508/

RIP Gene Hackman (1930-2025) He didn't look like your typical Hollywood star but he owned every scene he was in and nailed almost all the roles. He's undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever grace the medium. The World will certainly miss him.

Kaja Kallas, the belligerent, corrupt EU foreign affairs chief, travelled to Washington for talks with Marco Rubio. There, she was told that he had no desire to see her. A little later, Trump foreshadowed a 25% tariff on EU exports, adding: "The EU was created to screw the US".
