There was a time when we went to supermarkets to fill the fridge. We do it more and more to eat in them

by

There was a time when people went to supermarkets to fill their pantry. Not anymore. Or at least not only does it for that. As The tastes changedhabits and especially Rhythm of life It has also been doing our relationship with retail chains. When today we go to a super we can do it to take food that we will then cook at home, but also to buy already prepared dishes or even (increasingly) stay lunch inside the premises, as if we were in a bar. In 2025 the super do not compete only with neighborhood stores, they do it with restaurants to which every time They cost them more Offer profitable menus. What happened? That our way of consuming is changing. And with her the super. Black left over white A report of the consultant Worldpanel by numerator Efe revealed that it confirms that hypermarkets are no longer just places we go to food to prepare food at home or already prepared dishes. In addition to all that, every year hundreds of thousands of people cross their doors to do something else: breakfast, lunch or snack right there. Yes, as if they were in a restaurant or a bar. What do the figures say? According to Veronika Khurshudyan clarifiesspokesman for the consultant, throughout the last year (at the end of July 2025) 6.9 million people have gone to hypermarket and supermarket coffee shops to buy food they have then consumed away from home. The data is interesting, but the report includes another that is still more: about 1.3 million customers chose to stay in the establishment and eat food in situ. The data is significant for two reasons. First, its reach. Second, the trend. Those 1.3 million consumers double the figure of the previous year. “Shows an increasing interest in enjoying the experience within the establishment itself”, Notice Khurshudyan. The most common is still that we buy food to consume it at home (31% of the time) or in the place where we work (16%), but the data reflects a growing business for large chains. “The coffee shops in the hyper and super begin to consolidate as a flexible point of consumption that combines the practical ‘to carry’ with the possibility of staying and enjoying at the time,” insists the consultant’s spokeswoman. Is there more data? Yes. And while they are not so clear about where we eat and if we do it inside or outside the hypermarkets themselves, they show a clear trend: we are increasingly going to the super search of cooked food. No paste packages, tomatoes or minced meat trays. No. What we want is the ration of carbonara spaghettis already prepared. Dishes that we can devour instantly. Another report by Worldpanel by numeraton, Posted in August by Five daysshows that food sales ready for consumption have shot in the last three years in the Spanish premises 49% in terms of value. Where do we eat? The report reflects that although in most cases (80%) we realize those dishes already ready in our own homes, it is increasingly common for us to consummate them, far from the table of our living room or kitchen. That study Specifically, I did not delve into details, but it did slide that the ‘extra -adomatic enjoyment’ was growing double digit: with the data and April in the hand it was 15% if we talk about frequency and 29% in terms of sales value. Worldpanel is not the only one who has found the growing interest in already cooked dishes. In his Sectorial Report In March, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Map) points out that the consumption of prepared dishes increased 6.4% in the last year until leaving the average consumption per person in 17.47 kg. Not just that. If we take into account that indicator (the average per capita intake) the prepared dishes are the ones that grow the most between the categories identified by the map. While the food set was reduced by 0.5%, with falls in the case of fish and vegetables, already ready foods grew by 5.4%. Why do we do it? For comfort. Or rather, changes in priorities to Manage our time. Worldpanel and the Promarca association contributed Some keys A while ago with a survey that reflects that 47% of Spaniards consider that they lack time throughout the day, which provides a golden opportunity to those known as “convenience” products, those who focus on the ease and comfort for the consumer. According to The same study “convenience” is the main motivation that moves customers in 45% of the occasions when they demand food and drink. It may seem little, but it exceeds other reasons, such as health (18.6%) or pleasure (22.6%). The trend is clear enough to A few months ago The president of Mercadona, Juan Roig, recognized his conviction that in not much time the Spaniards will feed ourselves with the food we bought outside the home. Not with the ingredients, no, but with the already prepared dishes that we take to our home. “I said and kept it: in the middle of the 21st century there will be no kitchens”, He settled. The data of prepared dishes manufacturers suggest that it is not disenchanted: in 2024 its consumption increased in Spain 6.6%. How do companies respond? Roig has not only shared his forecast. His chain has been preparing for that stage (gastronomically speaking) apocalyptic with his line ‘Ready to eat’a branch of the company whose origins can be traced to 2018 and that is committed to the sale of dishes, from incoming to pizzas, lentils, or meatballs, between a long etcetera. In your last Annual Report Mercadona pointed out that last year the service was extended to a hundred and a half of premises, which raises the network to 1,260 supermarkets, 1,200 in Spain and the 60s of Portugal. Moreover, the chain ensures that the section “has not stopped growing” and Keep incorporating it to more premises. And Roig’s company … Read more

Spain is an agricultural giant with mud feet

To understand the current problem of the Canarian banana only two figures are needed: the first is 0.42 (“The average price that the producer will receive for the most quality fruit (…) per kilo “); the second is 0.75 (” the production costs “of that same kilo of bananas). To understand the full problem, we have to take perspective. Because, if right now the Canarian sector is dying, a couple of months ago we saw the bananas in the peninsula up to seven euros per kilo. What is happening? As Roman Delgado explainedtoday (and with the data of week 36 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) prices “continue to generate losses in the crop, because with them the exploitation costs are not covered.” And yet, this would not have to be as bad as it really is. The Canarian banana, Thanks to the Posei Program of the European Unionhas one of the most refined compensation systems in the country. In principle and in these circumstances, the EU would complete the producers’ accounts with 33 cents. However, the situation is so tense that (in many cases) or with those aids, costs would be covered. And that prices have not been as low as they feared. Above all, because it has entered much less Latin American banana in the peninsula of what was expected. Meteorological problems on the other side of the puddle and logistics problems have produced a relative shortage of peninsular markets. This means that, although (as happened in 2024) everyone expected a price drop – related to the decrease in institutional demand with the arrival of summer, fortunately the collapse has been lower. Map (Via Canarias now) A problem that comes from afar … That is, the banana has saved furniture at the last moment and, even so, they are in free fall. But the key question is why: and the answer is a succession of years between bad and nefarious that have led On the verge of bankruptcy to any of the main cooperatives of the archipelago (which dragged problems from the eruption of the palm). … And that nobody is clear how long it will arrive. Because, remember, 2025 was the good year. That is, everything seems to indicate that as is the case with other traditional Spanish crops (such as the olive tree), the Canary Islands banana is on the edge of death and does not know. For now, it is still alive because the possei is armored until 2027, when the next budget framework of the Union is approved. The problem is that chaining another three bad years waiting for a solution from heaven to “fall very similar to” survive hooked to a machine. ” Even more when The ghost of the European agreement with Mercosur Threat to complicate (even more) the situation. The truth is that Canary Islands, Like the rest of Spanish agricultureneed a background reflection: it has grown thanks to the European “regulatory walls”, but those walls have been cracking for years. It’s time to reflect seriously about what we want to be older.

The next update of the OPPO operating system promises to break the barriers between ecosystems. Color 16 will include native compatibility with Apple accessories, promising that Android users can directly link their AirpodsApple Watch and other devices of the Cupertino brand without third -party applications. A key novelty. Zhou Yibao, responsible for the product of the OPPO FND series, has confirmed this functionality in social networks through A presentation in which he has offered some outstanding details of the next Find X9. To demonstrate it, the executive matched some Airpods 4 With a Find X9 device, showing how integration will work instantaneously in the new color version. Beyond the airpods. Although the demonstration focused on Apple’s headphones, the description of “Native Support of Apple devices” suggests that compatibility will be extended to other ecosystem accessories, potentially including the Apple Watch and other brand wearables. Zhou Yibei showing the compatibility of the airpods in color 16. Image: Weibo/Whylab Why is it important. Traditionally, using Apple accessories with Android devices requires little elegant solutions or third -party applications that do not always work properly. This native color in color 16 promises to eliminate those friction and thus offer a more instantaneous experience for users who combine devices of both ecosystems. An operating system that eliminates barriers. Coloros 16, which will be based on Android 16, will be the operating system that premiere the Find X9 when they reach the market. Although it is not yet confirmed, the latest information suggests that the launch would be planned by the end of October. We will have to wait to learn more information about it. The rest of the novelties. Apple compatibility is not the only thing Oppo wanted to let it be reflected in the last Yibao videos. And is that the manager also confirmed That the standard model will have a 7.025 mAh battery while the PRO will reach 7,500 mAh, both with thick content of 7.99 mm and 8.25 mm respectively. The devices will premiere flat screens with ultradelgados and symmetrical frames, 50 MP cameras (with 200 MP periscopic teleobjective in the PRO) and significant improvements in video recording. Is not the only one. Oppo is not the first Android manufacturer to bet on integration with the Apple ecosystem. Xiaomi He already advanced This movement with hyperos 3, which allows you to use iPad and Mac as floating windows, unlock xiaomi devices with Face ID or Touch ID, synchronize notifications and files between platforms, and even share multimedia content fluently between Xiaomi and iPhone devices.

They are running out of drivers, literally

Japan has reached a new longevity record when registering 99,763 people 100 years or olderof which 88% are women, consolidating as the more aged society of the world and with the greatest life expectancy, attributed to healthy diets, low rates of obesity and an active culture in old age. However, this figure also has a face B: the birthday collapse and a lack of labor that has become a first -order problem. Or maybe on one occasion. The demographic challenge. Japan, with almost a 30% of its population Above 65, it has become a world laboratory where it is tested if automation can replace the labor that disappears. The country faces a shortage of workers in essential sectors such as Transportation and logisticswhat has placed companies like Amazon at the forefront of a decisive experiment: demonstrate that robotics and artificial intelligence can maintain the rhythm of fast deliveries in an increasingly aged environment. More robots than humans. In the Logistics Center of Chiba, near Tokyo, Amazon has deployed a Arsenal of Technologies that not only multiplies the ability to 40% storage Regarding a conventional warehouse, but it already has more robots than human employees. There, an automatic machine adjusts the paper packaging to the exact size of each product, while a classification system coordinates multiple items to pack them in a single shipment. The objective is that repetitive work disappears and that the process wins in speed and efficiency, with the support of the artificial intelligence model Deepfleetcapable of coordinating the entire robotic fleet and that has already improved a 10% performance. However, and despite technological sophistication, humans remain indispensable: they are responsible for carrying the packages, a critical phase of the distribution chain. The decline of transport. Because, in reality, the most pressing challenge is found in the transport of goods. With a third of drivers about to retire and a forecast of 30% reduction in the workforce by 2030 (which will mean falling to the 480,000 active truck drivers), The Japanese logistics system faces a crisis of historical magnitudes. The problem worsened with the called “Question 2024”a new legislation that limits driving hours and that has further cut the availability of chóferes. Companies like SBS holdings have opted for Immediate solutionssuch as the hiring of hundreds of foreign workers, aware that autonomous driving is still far from offering a large -scale viable alternative. Japanese skepticism. Plus: Despite the image of Japan as “land of robots”, reality in the country’s stores is far from that perception. According to Interact analysis dataoutside the Amazon ecosystem there are barely 0.17 robots per warehouse, compared to 0.68 in the United States and 0.57 in China. The cause It is multiple: a mountainous geography that forces to build small logistics and several floors, an electronic commerce market that only represents the 10% of retail sales (well below 27% in the United Kingdom) and very high installation costs that dissuade many companies. Nippon Express, one of the greats in the sector, has tried Advanced systems As autonomous wheelbarrows, mobile shelves and robotic chairs for operators, but their managers do not yet trust that these investments can be amortized soon. The survival dilemma. The substantive issue transcends profitability calculations. As warns in the Financial Times Akira Unno, from Nippon Express, Japan has entered a stage where there is not enough generational relief: the country today has just one million 18 -year -old young people, compared to two million past decades. The debate, then, is no longer whether a robot can save costs, but if the national logistics can continue working Without a radical transformation. For companies like Amazon, the way It is clear: Expand automation to local distribution centers and bring artificial intelligence to the final client. For others, the question remains more than open: how many years are needed to recover the investment and if, even with patience, there will be enough hands to hold the supply chain in a country where demography seems to play against any economic calculation.

The Byd Seal 6 DM-I, the second plug-in hybrid of the Chinese firm in our country, repeats the formula we have already seen with the Byd Seal U DM-I but now exports to the Berlina format (with family version or Touring included).

When we talk about the Byd Seal U in Xataka We already commented that Byd’s play with his plug -in hybrid was almost perfect. It puts a family car on the market, comfortable and, above all, much cheaper than the rivals. Because yes, the Toyota C-HR with which he is fighting for being the best-selling plug-in hybrid costs the same but is much smaller. It is difficult not to start here this test of the BYD Seal 6 DM-I in any of its variants, sedan or family. The first option starts at 37,000 euros (before the discounts that we will detail). The family adds 2,000 euros more cost. If we are looking for rivals, a PEUGEOT 308 plug -in hybrid is in the 35,000 euros barrier and it is half a shorter meter. Literally. Below 40,000 euros, no brand offers plug -in hybridization with a similar size. Either below 45,000 euros. A plug -in hybrid Skoda (the closest for price) costs 48,000 euros at least. That is, its largest rival for size already part of about 9,000 euros more (before the discounts of each brand). With that premise it is easy to understand why ByD is hurting the plug -in hybrid market and planting Toyota with the only car in the market. Because up to the 6 DM-I by 6 DM-I, the car offers a good quality sensation and, with its highest equipment, the screen grows to 15.6 inches. Otherwise, All cars arrive as standard With: electric seats, heated and ventilated, heated steering wheel, interior in vegan leather, adaptive cruise control, 360 degree camera, bidirectional load, voice assistant, Android Auto or Carplay … to mention just some examples. The car also moves very applauded. It is far from the classic soft suspensions that have the rest of the byd cars and helps their enormous battle and a lower center of gravity to go much more on the site. We have not been able to study your adaptive cruise control with peace of mind but we can say that in general it has been correctly, little intrusive in lane maintenance. Of course, as we said, it is an analysis that lacks kilometers of a long -term test. What we can say is that the combustion engine of 1.5 liters with the gasoline engine is a bit fair. Despite its 212 hp, the car gives not accelerating with the power that its numbers say. It behaves very well llaneando, it is a comfortable car but it would be appreciated a better answer when the right pedal is stepped strongly. This is because, in the absence of a deeper analysis, this BYD Seal 6 DM-I prioritizes the use of the combustion engine as an electricity generator. This accumulates in the battery and in the vast majority of the circumstances, it is the electric motor that drives the wheels. Only when we have stepped together and sustained the effort in the accelerator, it shows that the … Read more

In full train development in Europe, they have raised a ‘subway’ to unite capitals that is a fantasy. Literally

by

Traditionally, the train was the Interior mobility dorsal spine In Europe. The development of the infrastructure allowed population movements for decades and, although the low-cost flights They have made a large part of the cake, there are European movements for recovering trains. An example is the NOX Night Trainbut another is the Starline project, a high speed ‘subway’ network that connects the main European capitals. Appeals everything that Europe is looking for: interconnection, transport of goods and sustainability. And it sounds too good to be true. Precisely, there is the problem. Starline. 21st Europe It is a Danish group architect of the Starline project. In his web They claim that Starline is not a matter of convenience, but a strategic need for current Europe. It is a high -speed train that will link the main European cities thanks to machines capable of traveling at 400 km/h (superior to that of the bird, for example) connecting, in principle, 39 destinations. To achieve these speeds, the idea is to minimize the closed curves and slopes as much as possible, achieving a great average speed that shortens the times between destinations. In the proposed map we can see that they have used a system of segments such as the one we can find In the subwayas well as stations that allow connections with other lines. The train. The idea is the most attractive, being able to go from Madrid to Istanbul without getting out of the train, or arriving Helsinki transforded in Vienna. As much as they reach 400 km/h, the journeys would be long and, for this, they have thought of wide -seat cars, quieter areas, others open for teleworking or for families with young children and cafeteria. They also propose that there is no seat division based on the classic hierarchy of airlines. And the reason why design should be blue is to distinguish trains and turn them into an icon, such as Red London Buses or the yellow yotk taxis. In addition, they would be connected and travelers could see the train status in real time at all times. Stations? Cultural centers. That experience for the passenger would start directly at the station. Instead of being a mere point of passage, what 21st Europe proposes is that they are public spaces with their own identity. If they advocate infrastructure with the trains, with the stations advocate places designed by the most reputed architects and designers of the different countries, creating buildings that are identity of each of the countries where there is space for stores and restaurants, but also for museums, concert halls, conferences or sports venues. Going directly to a concert or a match of whatever is directly from station to station is a great idea. Goods. Positive points are not limited to travelers. From the group, they detail that rail transport is four times more efficient than classical road transport in Europe, but only 18% of the goods move by train. Thus, they consider that the system could be used as way to transport goods in high speed Without resorting to the truck, the plane or the ship, implementing cargo and unloading hubs directly at the stations and strengthening Europe with a large new commercial network. China’s example. Placing the stations outside the large urban centers, it is achieved that they remain accessible, but avoiding the disturbance of traffic that exists in the central stations of the large European capitals. In addition, they consider that they would be an economic engine for those cities, and all thanks to the data that come from China. The Asian giant has gone expanding its high -speed rail network In record time and, from 21st Europe, they claim that cities with connections to that network experienced an increase of more than 14% in GDP and that each new line connected to the total contributed with an additional 7.2% to that growth of urban GDP. Now, China’s investment has been (and is being) huge, and has the big problem of Periodic maintenance cost. Sustainability, the great asset. In it Ride of decarbonizationthere are countries that are looking for replace short distance flights with the trainand Starline enters perfectly in such proposals. It is estimated that, in Europe, the commercial flight sector represents 4% of the total Greenhouse Emissions and about 14% of transport emissions. The calculation is that European flights contaminate five times more by passenger/kilometer than the train, and that is where Starline points. They detail that it must be independent at the energy level, betting on renewable sources that integrate solar, wind storage and batteries in their stations and operational infrastructure. With all this in mind, they estimate that short -journey flights could be replaced by a high -speed rail, reducing 95%emissions. In Spain, The bird is winning the game to the plane. You have to wait sitting. The 21st Europe project does not leave a stick without touching and it seems that it has no fissure. Everything is positive and sounds great, but there is a problem. Well, two. The first, regardless of complication when governments and companies agree to offer a unified service, is financing. The Danish group points out that the network must be financed through a combination of EU infrastructure budgets, financing of the European Investment Bank and long -term EU bonds. In addition, the governments of each country should co -finance their regional stations and connections, and all this maintaining a lower ticket price than the short -journey flights. The second big problem, and the key in this matter, is that this is an idea thrown into the wind. 21st Europe is something known as a ‘Think Tank‘, a group of experts who design visionary projects on the future of the continent. They have other proposals as an infrastructure of public parks called ‘Continent of Play‘, but basically that is, a project, an idea to initiate a conversation in the political spheres, but without the capacity for what they propose is launched. We will see … Read more

The ‘Great Chinese Firewall’ is no longer just from China. Now it is sold as a digital repression platform to other countries

by

A mass filtration of 500 GB of data in the form of more than 100,000 documents has exposed a disturbing initiative. A startup called Geedge Networks is selling to governments around the world censorship systems modeled from “China Great Firewall“. There are at least three countries that are already applying restrictive measures similar to those of the Chinese government. What happened. The leaked documents By interseclab They reveal how one of the investors in Geedge Networks is Fang Binxing, one of the “Parents” of the “Great Cortaygos of China”. Researchers have discovered that the startup markets an advanced surveillance platform that includes hardware for data centers and Software for local officials. Intercepting everything. The central component of that platform is the so -called “Tiangou Secure Gateway” (TSG), a tool that acts as a gateway and that is installed in the data centers to process the Internet traffic of an entire country. All these data scan when this component is passed, and from there it is filtered and can be blocked so that it does not reach its destination. If the traffic is not encrypted, you can intercept and collect passwords and email addresses. If it is, it makes use of deep inspection systems of packages and automatic learning to detect and block tools that avoid these censorship systems, especially VPN. Three countries already have their own “Great Firewall”. A consortium formed by media and human rights organizations (such as Amnesty International) identified that this platform is active in Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Ethiopia and Myanmar. In Geedge Networks they have published job offers for engineers willing to travel to countries such as Malaysia, Bahrain, Algeria and India, and are also hiring Spanish and French translators, which makes it clear that the startup is developing an important expansion strategy. TSG control panel capture for Myanmar showing real -time traffic categorized in total bandwidth and active connections. Source: Interseclab. An example of control: Myanmar. In a filtered capture the TSG control panel for Myanmar And it looks how the system was monitoring 81.6 million Internet connections simultaneously. In February 2024, Geedge hardware equipment had been installed in 26 data centers and 13 ISPS of Myanmar. There, 281 popular VPN tools were identified and the blockade of 54 of them was prioritized, including Expressvpn or Signal. Growing suspicions. Although researchers warn that documents are not a definitive proof that this system is causing specific blockages, Geeedge’s records show strong correlations with certain important events of the past. In Ethiopia for example the TSG system changed passive monitoring mode to “active detention” of traffic just a few days before a remarkable internet blackout that It occurred in February 2023. There are other cases in which connectivity problems in these countries have coincided with events registered in TSG in filtered documents. And incidentally, new Digitgal repression techniques in China. Among the leaked documents are also spoken of an active project in the Xingiang region, in China. There the startup has collaborated with Chinese research institutions to test a distributed firewall model instead of using a centralized one. There are also alarming experimental functions such as the ability to create relationships between users, group individuals according to applications that use or triangular the location of users through mobile base stations. And the dreaded punctuation systems. There is also a prototype in which a kind of Score for the reputation of each userand that would apply individually. Each user would have a base score and to increase it would have to add personal data such as their national identification, data that allow facial recognition or employment details. If this score does not exceed a certain limit – or decreased due to the use of a VPN detected and prohibited, for example – the Internet access would be denied to the citizen. Government malware. Another of the threats posed by this system is Geedge’s ability to Inject malware In user traffic. An operator could identify which website visit a user and, if it does not use a safe protocol (HTTPS), could inject malware directly into that connection. The researchers explain that although these experimental options are being tested in China, once the technology is mature, any foreign client can request those same functions on their platform to update it and have it available.

Yesterday in the return and in Madrid it exploded in the face

by

The return 2025 will not be the Jonas Vingegaard nor that of any of the other cyclists and teams that have spent weeks pedaling through the ports of Spain. The 2025 return is and will be for the story ‘The return of the proportions’the same as They marked their stages In Basque Country or Galicia and what They have frustrated His grand final in Madrid. The return of 2025 will also be something else: the competition that shows us that the financed/sponsored teams aligned with states marked in one way or another by the controversy, such as EAU, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia (or in this case Israel) can become watchmaking pumps. And that is something that transcends Spain. What happened? We said it before: that very much that of 2025 will not be the return of Vingegaardnot that of his team, Visma Lease-A-Bike. The prominence has been monopolized by another group for reasons that have little to do with sport: Israel-Primer Tech (ITP)an UCI Pro Team qualification with Headquarters in Tel Aviv And in the hands of Sylvan Adamsan entrepreneur who It has not hidden His good harmony with Benjamin Netantayahu. Itp’s role as Israel representative in the middle of Gaza’s genocide has caused a deep discomfort in part of Spanish society, which has marked several stages of the cycling return with footprint protests. Has it so serious? Yes. We saw it Two weeks ago In Bilbao, where the protesters left moments of tension and forced those responsible for the return to end the stage Three kilometers Before the goal. It happened again in Galicia, where cyclists found even A tree crossed on the road. And he repeated himself yesterday on the final day, in Madrid. Not even the huge Police deploymentwith hundreds of police, he prevented the one who should be the golden clasp of the competition Be ruined: The stage ended earlier than expected, without podium. In between about twenty stages marked by the controversy and an increasing tension that even led the technical director of the competition, Kiko García, to slide that he only saw “a solution” to the problem: that IPT itself understood that its presence between the squad compromised the test. Little served. Nor that neither Threats of the cyclists to stand up to the Tel Aviv team, which only lent themselves to Delete the mention To your country in the jersey. Why is it important? Beyond what he has implied for the 2025 Vuelta, one of the great appointments of international cycling, what happened on the roads of Spain reveals some things about cycling and of course the future of Israel First-Tech. His odyssey in the Iberian competition may have finished, but in Quebec he has already encountered similar protests of annoying activists for their participation in the city grand prize. At the moment IPT He has resigned to take a measure similar to the one he adopted in Spain and retouch his name. The objective is to save episodes such as those lived in recent weeks in Spain, very difficult to avoid in great tests such as the return. Cycling has a world audience that follows its evidence through traditional networks, websites and media, as well as basketball or tennis, but unlike those sports, their competitors beat copper in kilometric stages, impossible to control one hundred percent, as well as well Madrid has proven. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Is it the only problem? No. What happened in Spain reminds us of something else: the ‘watchmaking pump’ that the equipment that in one way or another is linked to controversial states, either through sponsorship or financing or (IPT case) for its clear alignment with their governments. An especially serious problem when we talk about cyclist tournaments in which, as we pointed out before, it is almost impossible to have total control over the layout and prevent protests. It is not something exclusive to the Vuelta, nor from Israel-Primer Tech and the state of Israel. United Arab Emirates is represented, for example, the UAE Team Emirates XRGa professional team of the UCI WTORLDTEAM category that assures which aims to “represent the entire nation.” In front it has Kill Suhail Al Yabhouni, trusted man of the heir prince of Abu Dhabi, and among his sponsors includes key signatures of the country, such as Emirates, FAB either Ich.

Charlie Kirk’s murderer made him motivated by a memes labyrinthine subculture

by

The most media news of the week has been the murder of the star of American conservative thought Charlie Kirk, while participating in an act at Utah Valley University on September 10. Although Kirk’s strong and controversial political convictions led to think about a crime of political dyes, reality has ended up revealing himself as much more twisted. Undoubtedly, politics had an important role in the murder, but if we look out to the rabbit burrow of internare abdicates we will find a much more absurd and complicated reality of understanding. Who was. Charlie Kirk was an influential conservative political activist. Founded Turning Point uses at 18, an organization that mobilized thousands of students in defense of conservative ideals and the Maga Movement. Near Donald Trump, Kirk stood out as One of the main spokesmen of youth conservatism In the United States. Under his leadership, Tpusa expanded to more than 850 universities (the act in which he died was from the organization) and raised millions in donations. He was the author of several books on traditional politics and values, and his thought was controversial since under a seemingly reasoned defense of freedom of expression, he spread misinformation on issues such as The COVID-19 or the Climate change. He has also been accused of popularizing leisure positions to groups such as LGTBIQ+people, especially Trans peopleand the African American. Who shot him. Although the initial conjectures were oriented, with all logic, towards the idea that it could have been a leftist activist, the truth is that the detention by the FBI of Tyler Robinson, a man of 22 of Utah, has opened a box of thunder with much more subtle political nuances. Some of its characteristics enter a conservative profile, such as the fact that it was raised in an environment of defenders of firearms, and thus looked in A series of photos on the Facebook of Robinson’s motherwhich were eliminated. The most radical conservative media They have tried to poison public opinion Speaking of a shooter of leftist trends, but the FBI has declined to pronounce on the subject. The Groypers. Many had not heard of this Internet subculture until this moment, and it is not uncommon: it is a American extreme movementmainly integrated by cyberactivists and social media trolls, often very young. They are characterized by their white, conservative and anti-Semitic nationalist ideology, with openly homophobic, misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ positions. They emerged around influencer Nick Fuentes and use provocative tactics to radicalize the conservative discourse, confronting republican figures considered “soft” or not sufficiently radical, among which Kirk would find (this rivalry would be the Core of the “Groyper Wars” of 2019). The bullets. To understand to what extent the main weapon of the Groypers is the mistake, radicalization and chaos, you just have to Analyze recorded memes in the projectiles that Robinson used. The most striking is the phrase “Oh Bella Ciao Bella Ciao Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao”, chorus of the anthem of the Italian anti -fascist partisans of World War II ‘Bella Ciao’, which was used profusely in the Second Groyper Warswhich faced the group with Trump. “Hey Fascist, Catch” and a combination of buttons, is a game code ‘2‘Famous because it triggers a comically ex -devastic bomb, and the combination of buttons has also worked as an independent meme. “*Bulge*, Owo What’s This?“It is also a hate meme used to harass another internal subculture, the Furry community. The intention is so much to sow confusion and blame the Furries of crime such as the use of a meme that only makes sense in a sector very foreign to the mainstream cultural (online game). Finally, “If you read this you are gay Lmao” is also a usual insult in online competition games. A meme killed him. As the always successful Ryan Broderick and Adam Bumas claim In his Newsletter Garbage DayCharlie Kirk was killed by a meme. Or as with much more forcefulness the memes expert Aidan Walkerthe equivalent of a Shitpost In a forum (an internet publication created intentionally to be of low quality, absurd, incoherent, aggressive or ironic): this murder is made to be “incomprehensible and disruptive to the maximum.” It is a nihilist position because no policy will not be advocated, except to leave behind any type of red line (except when the shootings begin, of course: a sources visibly terrified in case the next bullet bears his name, apart from a meme of 2015, he has already said that Vamo to Calmarno). Famous snapshot. Gargabe Day leaves us two additional reflections, very important to understand the phenomenon thoroughly. First, it is not the first time that a murderer uses Internet culture to configure crimes of political dyes. The 2019 killing in a mosque in New Zealand was broadcast live and started with the criminal saying “Subscribe to Pewdiedie“. In 2022, a white nationalist started and broadcast a shooting In a greengrocer in Buffalo, and previously planned it without hiding in 4Chan and Discord. Luigi Mangionelast year, he killed the CEO of Unitedhealthcare with bullets where he read “Deny”, “Defend”, “Depose”also sentences with roots in the meme world. And second: the intention of all these murderers cannot be calibrated with a traditional knowledge about the desire for notoriety or the mental processes that take 4 channel to take a rifle. It is a new era of the homicidal motivations, and if Algó is highlighting this crime it is to what extent the media and traditional analysts lack tools to interpret reality. A reality that no longer dictates political parties, but murky and cryptic ideologies born in the abysses of the Shitposting.

Thus they can affect our health fires that occur thousands of kilometers

by

The summer of 2025 has been marked not only by extreme heat waves, but also by numerous high range fires, fires that were charged At least eight lives. The fires not only kill with their flames, some of the people died as a result of accidents related to their extinction. However, large fires can also have a range that goes much further, and that was the case of Canada’s fires of 2023. Transoceanic risk. A new study has pointed out That the impacts on the health of the population of forest fires that ravaged Canada in the summer of 2023 not only reached vast areas of North America, also to other continents, including Europe. The fires of 2023. Canada suffered in 2023 the worst fire season that is remembered in the country. They occurred More than 6,000 fires that razed with about 150,000 km², a larger area than we would obtain by together Castilla y León, Extremadura and the Community of Madrid. The fires were of such intensity that the smoke The sky stained orange from New York City. However, the winds moved the smoke and volatile particles that toured thousands of kilometers to reach our continent. Exposed to pollution. According to the team responsible for the study, Canada’s fires caused important Picos in concentration of particulate matter 2.5 or PM2.5, small volatile particles of a diameter less than 2.5 microns. This resulted in a worsening in air quality. According to estimates, at the global level the concentration in the air of this type of particles grew by 0.17 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The same estimates indicate that about 354 million people in Europe and North America were exposed to PM2.5 levels above the limits established as insurance by the World Health Organization (WHO). Premature deaths. The study estimated that, adding these factors, the flames caused between 3,400 and 7,400 deaths acute in the American continent. However, the impact was beyond, and they point out that the number of chronic deaths was even greater: between 37,800 and 90,900 taking into account both North America and Europe. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Nature. A growing problem. The fire scale in Canada can be unthinkable in Europe, but the study serves as a reminder that the risks involved in forest fires go far beyond the reach of the flames. Especially at the close of A season that has been primed with our environment and whose consequences are probably not only noticed in our forests, but also in our health.
