A Valencian politician has decided to celebrate a wedding to marry with himself. There is a word that explains it: Sologamia

by

A few days ago Stephane Soriano, Benaguasil Councilor (Pp) and general director of the Diversity area of the Generalitat Valenciana, brought together friends, family and colleagues in a luxurious estate located 25 kilometers from Valencia to share with them Your wedding. And as in every Bodorrio that boasts there were gala costumes, emotional moments, photos, laughs and even launch of the bouquet and alliance. What there was not was a couple to share the famous “Yes, I want.” Soriano He married himself. And in doing so he joined a trend that has been gaining adherents and above all visibility: The Sologamia. “Celebrate family, friends and love”. The announcement has been in charge of doing so Stephane Soriano himself Via Instagramwhere he has also published some photos of the celebration. In them he is seen suit, dancing, hugging friends, family and colleagues, speaking to the guests and even throwing a bouquet of flowers. “There are days in life that are marked and yesterday is. Celebrate family, friends and love is to celebrate life,” wrote. “I fulfilled my word”. Not just that. The politician of the Mazón team has also explained why and at what time he decided to celebrate a wedding with himself. History, Explainstarted in 2023, during a visit to Ballastar Molíthe farmhouse in which a few days ago he celebrated his Self -in. He liked the environment so much that Soriano asked that same day to be reserved for a date for a ceremony. The fact that I had no partner or wedding plans was the least. “I would find it,” he jokes. The fact is that time passed, the appointment agreed with the management of the farm and the leader was found without a couple who promises eternal love. “I didn’t find her, but they called me to remind me that I had the reservation and decided to move on,” He recounts in statements collected by The world. Thus, Soriano asked for two au Soriano promises Deliver tomorrow to your partner, if it arrives. “It was half jokingly, but if one day I find the right person, I will give it to him.” Something more than congratulations. Soriano’s decision did not take long attract attention of the press and generate a cascade of comments. Some positive. Others not so much, as Recognize the leader Valencian in networks. “Narcissism? Performance? Callas? I have read many things these days. Some criticisms have made me smile, others have made me think. But they all confirm something: there are still those who are uncomfortable when someone leaves the script,” Reflect. “It was not a literal wedding. It was a party. An excuse. A symbol. A promise I made two years ago when I reserved a beautiful place to celebrate love, the one that arrives, the one that is already, the one that is built with friends, with family, with oneself,” Soriano claims. “If this gesture serves to open questions, question molds or inspire someone to live with more freedom, it will be worth it. And yes: I will continue to defend that in diversity there is also the game, the joy and the right not to ask permission to be happy.” Media yes, unique no. The Valencian politician is not the first to “yes (me) to himself. Moreover, with its gesture it adds to an increasingly visible current both inside and outside Spain: The Sologamiaa practice that basically consists of claiming the commitment and love that a person feels towards himself. The key is that it is also made in an active, public and visible way, reaching the point of celebrating a symbolic ceremony in which this feeling is celebrated with family and friends. The trend about a year ago It was already news Because three Asturian decided to celebrate similar weddings in Gijón: they surrounded themselves with friends and family and gave themselves a “yes I want.” The person who was in charge of officiating the “wedding” had already done something similar years agowhen he celebrated an act in which he claimed himself as “a complete orange”, not waiting for his other half. “It’s hard to explain”. Vanessa García, 37, one of the women who spent that day through the “altar”, Recognize that feeling “is difficult to explain.” “It’s like being alone, but keep being with yourself. When you travel with your partner or pet you feel that you have someone there with you. This is the same, but that other person is you,” He recounts. On the day of his wedding he “reaffirmed as a person who has self -love”, he loves, respects and cares. “The ceremony is a way of deceiving the brain and making it tangible,” duck. Curiously, neither Vanessa nor her other two companions close to have partners in the future. In fact they have already experienced what life is to share with another person. Its position is different from that of We aged themwho choose to live alone, without boyfriends or spouses, and rule out committing. Neither so new nor so strange. Cases such as Vanessa or Stephane give visibility every so often to Sologamia, but the reality is that the trend is neither new nor is it as uncommon as it may seem. Its origins can be traced to 1993When Linda Baker, a Los Angeles woman, decided to organize a wedding in which “husband and wife.” All this surrounded by friends and family and with a trustworthy person who worked as a officiant. A quick search on Google throws More cases Throughout the following years despite the fact that those who participate in links We sológo They lack some of the practical advantages of traditional weddings. For example, the act does not have a binding character or entitles a 15 -day permission. That has not prevented that over the last years more and more people have decided to emulate Linda or Vanessa. How exactly it is not easy to specify it because there are no official records, but in 2024 The world He slid … Read more

Some substack authors already invoice more than complete writings. The company has found its moment

by

Substock is in conversations to lift between 50 and 100 million dollars in a new financing round, with an assessment greater than the 700 million it reached in its last round, according to Eric Newcomerwho quotes his own sources the silence of replacement in this regard. Why is it important. The company has found the perfect moment: Trump’s return has triggered interest in Newsletters policies. Its mobile application is promoting payment subscriptions. With 500,000 creators on the platform, some already generate more income than entire traditional media. Two years ago There were already two doctors generating at least half a million a year. “At least”. It is the symbol of a trend of this decade: the permanent crisis of the media against author’s journalism, focused on a name and not on the brand of a large group. In figures. Substack stays with 10% of payments to writers. The total volume of subscriptions moves around 450 million dollars. 45 million, therefore, are the income of the platform. The context. We are seeing the rise of a new wave of independent journalists who have found an escape route to traditional media. In Spain the phenomenon is being several magnitudes lower than that of the United States, but there are prominent creators: Most are authors who seek independence to tell their stories or parallel projects rather than a replacement for their job. The panoramic. What started as a modern tool for Newsletters It has become a network of independent creators that competes with traditional media. Substack does two things: It offers journalists (and not journalists) with their own audience the opportunity to directly monetize their work leaving their media. Then paquetizes all that network of creators as a network with shared infrastructure. First fragment, then package. Yes, but. The model has its risks. The Newsletter Subtack average loses 50% of payment subscribers each year. To earn 50,000 dollars annually-an American average-moderate salary-charging $ 8 per month, a writer needs 900 payment subscribers. And also, add 31 a month to compensate for those who will leave. That constant pressure to create quality content (the one expected of someone in substitution who charges a subscription), often without more tools than the creator’s own mind, is also a risk to the Burnout. The model. And associated with these risks, there is the long -tailed model that prevails in substack. As in Onlyfansbut for different reasons, the economy of attention is reproduced: A few creators accumulate most income. A few live reasonably well. A huge mass gains symbolic amounts that need to complement to reach the end of the month. The Mehdi Hasan and Bari Weiss of the ecosystem generate hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Or millions. Niche creators with very faithful audiences can get between $ 50,000 and $ 200,000 a year. The vast majority stay with residual income, insufficient to dedicate full time. The backdrop. The migration to substock is no coincidence. Traditional media have cut templates for a decade while advertising income migrated to Google and Facebook. Between 2008 and 2020, United States lost more than 1,800 local newspapers In addition to usual cuts, rounds of layoffs, frozen hiring, etc. At the same time, star journalists discovered that their names had more value than headers. Matt Taibbi left Rolling StoneGlenn Greenwald left The interceptCasey Newton left The Verge. Everyone found in substitute not only more money, but total editorial independence. At stake. Substack is not alone in this race. Beehiiv, Kit and Ghost They compete for the same market, but with SAAS models that charge fixed monthly payments instead of 10% of substitution commission. Substack’s advantage is their discovery network: readers find new authors through recommendations. But if the big names migrate looking for better economic conditions, that network weakens. It is the paradox of all platforms: you need stars to attract talent, but the stars are the first to leave when alternatives appear.

There was a day when getting on a plane was beautiful, comfortable and aspirational. Today most already hates it

by

Flying is fascinating. Or it was. Get on the plane, look for the seat and check with illusion that it has a window. A slight tingling when the route starts towards the track. The tremendous push against the seat at the time of accelerating. The incoherent feeling of ungravation when gaining height and we feel pressured against the bottom of the seat. The notice that we can take off our belt and yes, make sure that, mysteriously, we are flying. A formidable trip. I remember my first plane trip. With illusion, with nervousness. But everything changes when, due to the circumstances of life, the plane ceases to be something exceptional and becomes a more or less usual means of transport. Or when you arrive at the airport and check the huge tail with horror to pass a police control that, fortunately, It should be simplified very soon. Or when you discover that you measure more than 1.70 meters and enter the seat becomes an exercise in contortionism. Or when your look visualizes in the poster that the flight is delayed. Or when that little bridge getaway falls apart by an unforeseen cancellation. Or when you reach the destination and you have the keys and wallet at hand, but the suitcase has been lost along the way. Or when … A blow of reality. We have gone from seeing the plane as a luxury transport and associating it with an attractive and unique experience to pray because nothing happens if we have to take one. In 1951, Iberia flew for the first time to New York. On its website We can read how “a select chefs group prepared each meal, poured syrup on the cakes and prepared the trays that would then serve passengers aboard the Iberia airplanes.” There was no trace of huge queues before climbing the plane, from the distinction of passengers in four groups, “that suitcase does not enter” because it measures two and a half centimeters more than expected or charging significant amounts for choosing a seat. In the 50s in Iberia, “only the plane receives more attention than you.” They are not just sensations. It is not only a matter of sensations. Passengers begin to be really fed up with companies’s practices. In Financial Times They give as an example an American passenger who travels regularly with Southwest Airlines. In his five annual trips to the same destination he lived delays, cancellations for various reasons and even loss of the suitcase. It is not an isolated case. For the first time in more than a decade, the negative perception of flights exceeds the positive. In the United States, the fourth part of the 2022 flights were delayed or canceled and only in October the United States Department of Transportation registered 3,000 complaints of users, five times more than in 2019. Two hours. And 10,800 canceled flights. This was the result of a problem in the software of the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States that forced to leave on land all the air paths of the country for a couple of hours. 120 minutes that, as proven, wreaked havoc in the country with greater air traffic of the world. It is calculated which in 2019 traveled 925,500,000 passengers. With data from 2022, the United States is the country that has the most airports in the world. Its enormous distances and the absence of any type of commitment to the train as an alternative medium has caused that last year it will be counted until 16,890 airports. The second country is Brazil, with 4,093. The most recent data in Spain are from 2013, but then added only 150 facilities of this type. A funnel. One of the problems that indicate in the Financial Times article is the lack of workers. Coronavirus pandemia had cleaned, more or lessthe sky of airplanes. The increase in remote meetings caused many companies to ensure Bloomberg That the business trips had ended. But nothing is further from reality. Withdrawal restrictions, The number of trips has firmed again. While Airbus and Boeing thousands of millions are distributed in aircraft purchases, Pilots are missing. Many. In the United States alone, 8,000 new employees are necessary. By 2032 a world scarcity is expected of up to 32,000 pilots. And not just pilots. But pilot scarcity is not the only one that is causing delays, cancellations and generalized discomfort in travelers. In our country we know that traveling on vacation is synonymous with risk. The strikes of land workers, cabin staff and pilots have become generalized in summer and Christmas. The workers of the airlines generally denounce too much work at work for a lack of employees that crawls from the toughest months of the confinements by the COVID-19. It is estimated that those days said goodbye to 191,000 workers in airports and airlines.

Spacex plays background with the new version of the rocket

by

The Starship 36 has flown through the air, in the worst sense. Spacex was preparing a second static ignition trial when a brutal explosion made all the windows in the metropolitan area of ​​Brownsville, Texas. What we know. On Thursday at 23:00, local time in Starbase, the ship that Spacex was preparing for Starship’s tenth flight exploded during the fuel load in a Massey’s test bench, which is how the test zone is known. It has not been to regret victims, since the area was clear for the test. But when the smoke column disappeared, Ship 36, which was going to fly at the end of the month, was no longer. It was seen and not seen. The NSF cameras They captured a sudden flash, followed by a large detonation and another giant just below. Since the ship exploded in the 10 minutes before the ignition test, Spacex had already loaded liquid oxygen and was starting to load liquid methane. The fuel deposits were approximately 10%, which hopefully reduced the scope of the damage. What we don’t know. Although the destruction of the ship is taken for granted, damage to the land infrastructure of Massey’s will not be clear until day. The worst news would be for the facilities to have been useless, which would considerably delay the starship 37 tests, which is already assembled and in the engine integration phase. He Spacex statement It only clarifies that the company is “actively working to ensure the test site” and that “there are no risks for residents of surrounding communities.” The program touches background. This is one of the most important setbacks for the Martian rocket of Spacex, which has touched the bottom after three consecutive launches of the Starship Block 2, the new version of the ship. Of the six second generation starship built: The first exploded during flight 7 for vibrations related to an unforeseen harmonic response in the lower zone of engines bay The second exploded during flight 8 for an unforeseen mixture of propellant during the ascent phase, which caused the explosion of an engine The third exploded during flight 9 for a leak that made him lose control of attitude during the suborbital trajectory, disintegrating himself in the reentry The fourth has exploited on land during the propellant load prior to a static ignition test in the test bench There are two Starship Block 2 to validate before Spacex passes to the third generation starship. The company has not yet been able to prove the satellite deployment due to explosions or, on flight 9, a failure in the door of the load bay. It also has delay with a series of demonstrations related to the thermal shield of the ship, which prevents the complete reuse of the rocket. Image | D Wise, NSF

We complained about the plans with Netflix ads. But it is YouTube who is becoming hell of advertising

by

So far those who wanted to avoid the ads in the YouTube videos They had two options. The first, pay a subscription to YouTube Premium, which costs 13.99 euros per month in Spain. The second, use Tools such as Adblockers They try to avoid the appearance of those ads. And Google has proposed to eradicate that second option. Black screens and interruptions. Are several Users of Reddit and of Brave user forum Those who have commented The problems When using this browser – which includes an adblocker – or tools of this style when visiting YouTube. According to your comments, the platform causes that in the first load the videos appear with a totally black screen during the duration of the pre -rol ads (those that appear before the video in question). In addition, YouTube shows a warning message (“Are you experiencing interruptions?”) With a link to the YouTube support site. Just in case, deactivate the adblockers. On that Google support page indicates that users who are affected by problems can “check if browser extensions block advertisements are affecting video playback.” Or navigate in an incognito mode. They also suggest “open youtube in a Incognito window With all the extensions deactivated and check if the problem persists. “In my tests with Brave I have not seen such messages, and neither in Firefox with the extension Ublock Origin. Nor when performing some tests with VPN and with IP from the United States, but this type of problem may depend on other factors. The cat and mouse. YouTube has been trying to fight the use of adblockers for some time, but the developers of these tools usually act quickly and counteract Google’s measures. There are those who indicate that these problems may be limited to user accounts that have been detected in the past using adblockers. In my evidence I had not logged in, which validates that theory. We complained about Netflix. Comparisons with streaming platforms are inevitable, although the differences are clear. Netflix has achieved A resounding success With their plan with advertisements, and in prime video not only things are not going well but for months ago they were going to Increase the presence of advertising. And now they have confirmed that They are going to bend it. The future will have more ads. YouTube offers content for free but with ads, and the business model is similar to other Google services. The difference here is that it is the users who generate these contents, and YouTube is simply the platform that connects the creators with the spectators. Advertising benefits both parties because these ads serve to remunerate creatorsbut the advertising presence on YouTube is increasingly intense and converts experience into something increasingly annoying. The alternative, of course, is to pay Those 13.99 euros per month to access YouTube Premium. Youtube premium lite on the horizon. Google’s strategy has been even clearer with its latest movement: the creation of Youtube Premium Litewhich has already debuted in countries such as Mexico, Argentina or the US. The fundamental advantage is that most videos will not have ads, but we do not have other options such as video downloading to watch them without connection or the back in the background. This new type of subscription thus raises an intermediate bet, but also points to something worrying: more ads in the future.

This is the tunnelador who aims to transform line 11 of Madrid

by

The expansion of line 11 of the Madrid Metro aspires to much more than adding stations: It wants to become a great diagonal axis that see the city transversely. It is an ambitious, complex work that demands machinery at the height of the challenge. In the center of that machinery is Mayritthe tunnelador that will be in charge of opening a passage underground. It is not a generic machine, but a model expressly designed To adapt to the geological and geotechnical conditions of the Madrid land, and that in the coming months will become the main protagonist of one of the most important developments of public transport in the capital. A tunnelador designed for the Madrid subsoil The tunnelador is already finished. Its manufacture has been in charge of Herrenknecht Agone of the most recognized firms in this type of machinery, and It has developed in its Schwanau factoryGermany, during a 20 -month process. Mayrit is not any tunnelador. It is an EPB model (Earth Pressure Balance)adapted to dig in cohesive land, such as those in Madrid. Measures 98 meters long, It weighs 1,500 tons and is able to advance up to 15 meters per day. On average, you can complete about 500 meters a month with teams of twelve people per shift. To this technical level is added logistics complexity. His transfer to Madrid will not be fast or simple. The machine must be completely dismantledpiece by piece, for the next three months. Then, one will begin trip more than 2,000 kilometers which will combine road journeys to Antwerp, maritime transport to the port of Santander and, from there, its truck transfer to the future Comillas station, in Carabanchel. There will begin the reverse process: a new assembly that will last until March 2026, when it is planned to start operating. Its function will be to drill the section of the section between Elliptical Plaza and Count de Casal, one of the most complex phases of the expansion. The works in this section are already at 18.4% execution, and the regional government has announced an investment of 518 million euros only at this stage. In parallel, manual excavation works have already begun in a 700 -meter stretch between quotes and elliptical square, with a rhythm of progress of about 50 meters per month. The goal: to leave the ground prepared for when Mayrit enters action. And the truth is that, beyond rhetoric, the technology that moves Mayrit is far from being trivial. Inside, A TRANSPORTED SCREW the material excavated to a tape, while pressure sensors allow Real time control the balance of forces in the excavation chamber. This allows to maintain the stability of the front and avoid sinking, even in heterogeneous terrain with the presence of gravel, water or sand. In addition, the system can be adapted on the march to different geological scenarios. Herrenknecht has developed several solutions that convert the end of the endless into a wash circuit to also work with sludge when the land demands. Other modules allow to modify the consistency of the soil by injections of bentonite, water or foam. At the moment, the arrival of Mayrit to Madrid is scheduled for December.

The hunt that still resists in Iran more than 40 years after his arrival. It is not Russian or Iranian. It is the American F-14

by

While the missiles cross the air between Israel and Iran, the Israeli Air Force has confirmed A new attack on facilities close to Tehran. According to its version, among the objectives there were at least a couple of fighters F-14 Tomcat. In one of the available videos, the impact on what would be one of the few units that are still in service, almost half a century after having been manufactured. That an American hunt retired in 2006 Keep flying today in one of Washington’s great adversaries is no accident. The explanation is in the convoluted – sometimes contradictory – that history can be. An order, a revolution and a war The History of F-14 in Iran begins in the 70s. The SHA, still strategic ally of the United States, decided to incorporate Dozens of Tomcat fighters to its Air Force, in a military package valued at approximately 2,000 million dollars. To do this, he sent his pilots to train in California. But everything changed in 1979, with the Islamic revolution. The relationship between Iran and the United States deteriorated quickly. Ayatolá Ruhollah Jomeiní ordered the arrest of many of those pilots and left the F-14 on land. But the situation took a new turn in 1980, when Iraq invaded Iran. The authorities decided to free the aviators, and began a career to counterreloj for reactivating a fleet for which there were no longer spare parts. An Iranian pilot next to an F-14 Now, keeping an F-14 in flight is not an easy task. Every flight hour required many more maintenanceand many of its components were impossible to manufacture locally. No access to Western technology, Iran resorted to smugglers, to the black market … And also, in a maneuver as surprising as documented, to the United States. During the 80s, within the framework of the scandal Iran-contextsthe Ronald Reagan administration He secretly authorized The sale of weapons to Tehran in exchange for the release of hostages. Iranian Tomcats equipped with multiple missiles in full flight Today, almost half a century after that SHA request, the F-14 Tomcat It continues to appear In Iran. There are no official figures on how many are or how many are really operational. Some have seen in parades. Others, in blurred videos. And now, according to Israel, at least two would have been destroyed in a recent attack near Tehran. Israeli Air Force announced the impact on Iranian F-14 with this publication That an F-14 is still present in 2025 is not just a technical rarity. It is a string of how convoluted the story can be. A hunt designed for US carriers, designed to face the Soviet Union and retired almost twenty years ago, still appears – in one way or another – in one of the most serious military tensions of the moment. Tomcat was a technological feat. But he is also an unlikely survivor: he went from ally to enemy, he sustained thanks to improvised engineers, to clandestine networks, and the carelessness of those who tried to leave him on the ground forever.

In a desperate attempt to avoid the blackout, Ree tried to start a gas center seven minutes before the disaster

by

The Official reports on the blackout They reveal the maneuvers to counterreloj that the network operator did to try to stabilize the system while rushing into the collapse. T-7 minutes. In the moments of maximum tension (never better) prior to the historic blackout that left the Iberian Peninsula without light on April 28, Red Electric took a desperate measure: he ordered the start of a combined gas cycle center to try to stabilize an electrical system that crumbled at times. The call to the owner of the plant, registered in official reportsthere was just seven minutes before the system collapsed completely at 12:33 at noon. However, the thermal power plant never coupled then The zero of tension It occurred first. It was not a typical morning. That April 28 were the perfect conditions to test the network: a relatively low energy demand, and a very high solar radiation that caused a massive predominance of photovoltaic generation. With a network dominated by the electronics of investors instead of the heavy turbines of the conventional generation, the tension already issued warning signals. At 11:00 in the morning, after a voltage climb, the transformers of two Adif substations in Zaragoza were fired. But the situation became critical from 12:00, with the appearance of strong frequency oscillations that put the stability of the entire network in check. The oscillations. At 12:03, a first 0.6 Hz oscillation was detected, an unusual phenomenon that lasted for almost five minutes, forcing Red Eléctrica to take emergency measures. Among them, reduce electricity exchanges with France and Portugal. It didn’t help much. At 12:19, a new 0.2 Hz oscillation shook the system. Given the seriousness of the situation and the need to “attach more conventional generation” to control the tension, Red Electrico contacted at 12:26 with the head of a combined cycle center in Andalusia to start urgently. The choice was not accidental. The group that could be attached faster in the southern zone was sought, one of the most affected by instability. The chosen central, which had decoupled at 9:00 in the morning, was “hot”, which allowed it a shorter start time: an hour and a half. The goal was to be fully operational at 2:00 p.m. Unfortunately, the system did not have that time. Just seven minutes after the starter order was given, at 12:33, a succession of waterfall generation, mainly due to surgeens, caused the total collapse of the peninsular electrical system. The measure, a last resort to avoid the greatest blackout in the recent history of Spain, “never consummated by the zero of tension.” Image | HRAD (CC by-SA 3.0) In Xataka | Many plants disconnected from the network when the blackout began. The problem is that some renewable did it before
