“We don’t see a real demand”

by

BMW Motorrad director Markus Flasch, It has been quite resounding When asked about the development of electric motorcycles by the company. And it is that the manager has ruled out that the firm will be in charge of the manufacture of large -cylinder electric motorcycles in an immediate future. In An interview granted to the American media Common Treat during an event in the Austin, Texas circuit, Flash made it clear that the electrification strategy of the motorcycle division will follow a very different path from the brand’s cars. Without demand. “At the moment we do not see a real demand for electric motorcycles”, assured Flasch in the middle. The manager, who previously directed the M Performance division on the automobile side of BMW, explains that the motorcycle client is fundamentally different from that of cars, and the global regulations are not the same either. Where do they bet on the electricity. BMW does not completely abandon the electric terrain, but concentrates its efforts on urban mobility. The company currently leads the electric scooters market above 11 kW and has recently launched the CE 02an electric cyclomotor of urban design that has been well received. According to Flaschit is precisely in this segment where they see the tendency towards total electrification. “We see an emerging trend in urban mobility, which we believe will finally be totally electric,” said the manager. A more affordable sports on the way. Although Flasch was prudent with the details about future releases, yes dropped a track Interesting about the sports segment. When asked if BMW would develop a middle displacement sports motorcycle, similar to what other brands are doing to capture customers with more affordable and less intimidating products, the Austrian replied: “You can expect to see something smaller than the 1000 RR of 1,000 cc, but it is a bit soon to talk about it.” The track points to a possible sport equipped with the parallel bicylinder of 895 cc that already use models such as F 900 XR. There will be no motocross motorcycles. While brands like Triumph and Ducati have decided to enter the world of motocross and enduro, BMW has made the decision not to follow that route. Flasch Explain That, although the brand is famous for the GS and organizes demanding competitions such as the GS Trophy, the type of off-road looking for its clients is different. “We have analyzed entering this segment and we made a conscious decision of not following this path,” he said, adding that both clients and the dealership network support this decision. The future of six online cylinders. One of Flasch’s most interesting statements was his commitment to the online six -cylinder engine that equips the models K 1600. “The six online will have a brilliant future if you ask me,” assured The manager, who sees this engine as a single hall of BMW’s unique identity along with the boxer. The fans base of these models is solid and stable, which has convinced the brand of making more focus on this platform. It is an interesting bet at a time when other brands are simplifying their ranges and abandoning complex motor settings. The challenges of the sector. Flasch also talked about the challenges facing the motorcycle industry. For the manager, the biggest problem is that these vehicles, at least the type that BMW manufactures, are “lifestyle products” and not mainly mobility. “What goes against this, and what probably makes the global industry go down a little this year, is uncertainty and economic barriers,” he explained. And is that The tariffsexchange rates and technical barriers between markets can be great threats for a global manufacturer like BMW.

Openai is already worth half dollars, its employees are selling shares … and the San Francisco Explorado real estate market

by

OpenAI has closed a secondary sale of shares of 6,600 million dollars that places its valuation at 500,000 million. In addition to a financial milestone, this is also an earthquake in the San Francisco real estate market, where employees more than two years old are monetizing part of their participations to buy properties. Why is it important. The operation allows current and old workers to sell Equity to investors eager to access the company’s shareholders or increase its presence in it. They are actors like SoftBank, Thrive Capital or MGX of Abu Dhabi. Openai had authorized sales for more than 10,000 million, although it finally only materialized 66% of that amount. A year ago, its valuation was 157,000 million. It rose to 300,000 million in March 2025, and now reaches 500,000 million, surpassing Spacex (456,000 million). The context. San Francisco real estate agents They are seeing something they had not seen before: Buyers who sell shares of private companies to pay tickets of $ 375,000 (the average in certain neighborhoods of the city) or directly buy in cash. Neighborhoods like Hayes Valley (renamed ‘Valley brain‘For the concentration of AI startups), Noe Valley and Mission Bay are receiving direct pressure from these new buyers with a deep pocket. Mechanics. OpenAI and other AI companies remain private (that is, without going to be traded in the stock market) much longer than the technological startups of previous generations. Employees cannot wait years in an IPO to access their paper wealth. So secondary markets, where private shareholders sell to institutional investors, have become the fast road to convert cash actions. Between the lines. This secondary sale fulfills two functions: On the one hand, it is a retention tool in the middle of a brutal war for talent: Goal has signed at least seven OpenAi Top engineers This summer, often with millionaire bonds. On the other, it allows Openai to keep employees happy who could be frustrated by the lack of liquidity, without having to go over or dilute the control. Yes, but. The OpenAI conversion into a profit company It has not been reversed by a final sentence. In March 2025, a federal judge rejected Elon Musk’s request to issue a precautionary measure to block that change, although he allowed several of his claims to proceed to trial. On the other hand, some investment conditions linked fund commitments (for example of softbank) to which OpenAi advanced with its restructuring, so that if certain milestones were not fulfilled, those commitments could be affected. Musk, who co -founded Openai and left the organization in 2018, sued Openai and Altman arguing that they had breached foundational commitments by moving away from his original non -profit mission. The impact. The consequences in San Francisco go beyond buyers with a lot of money: AI companies such as OpenAi, Anthropic and company are causing An increase in housing demand in neighborhoods close to their work. The cycle features: more well -paid employees generate more demand, more pressure on prices, and more need for immediate liquidity to compete in a market where cash offers have an advantage. Real estate professionals point out A change with respect to previous booms technological: Buyers not only have a high heritage, but also have access to immediate liquidity through secondary markets. They sell just enough for entry and closing expenses, and maintain their exposure to the company, but ensure a tangible asset that diversifies their risk. The big question. Is this sustainable? Openai right now is The most valuable startup in the worldbut loses money while competing in an AI infrastructure race that needs almost unlimited money. If the valuation bubble is deflated, thousands of employees with huge mortgages based on overvalued shares could be seen in trouble. At the moment, the secondary market is creating a new class of owners in San Francisco: AI engineers who have turned code into houses without waiting for the Wall Street bell to sound.

Aberting in Spain has become a real odyssey based on the province. So the government has launched a website

by

Spain has an advanced law in abortion, with deadlines until week 14 and assumptions extended until 22. The difficult thing is to take it to the real field. Access depends on the Autonomous Community, the degree of involvement of public health and, too many times, on the economic capacity of women. While the law ensures universal coverage, many interventions are carried out in private and not a few women are forced to move. In that context it is born I want to go .orga portal that aims to become a compass in front of a system that, despite legal reforms, continues to raise obstacles on a day -to -day basis. A new release. The Ministries of Health and Equality have launched a website, presented at the act for the 40 years of the legalization of abortion. The portal offers what the government calls a “safe public space”, designed to guide women in a system that still varies a lot from one autonomous community to another. The platform It has been elaborated For health health health and activists, it is based on scientific evidence and guidelines of organizations such as WHO, Figo, Fiapac or Sego, and has the accreditation of the College of Physicians of Barcelona. It is not just an informative portal, what it seeks is to offer practical guidance, accompaniment and concrete resources. Therefore, the website includes a WhatsApp number attended by professionals from Monday to Friday, as well as a telephone line available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, managed by formed volunteers. In addition, it will have a legal, emotional and technical support service for women who need to interrupt their pregnancy beyond week 22. The law vs. reality. Spain opened the door to abortion In 1985, although in a very restricted way: only in three assumptions priced by law. The great transformation came in 2010, with A BADE LAW which the decision of women recognized for the first time as sufficient reason until week 14. The norm also contemplated interruptions until Week 22 in medical cases. The last reform arrived in 2023where the three -day reflection period was abolished, the autonomy of children under 16 and 17 years was recognized without the need for paternal permission and the obligation to create a record of objectors of consciousness was established. The latter was carried out so that public health was not overflowed or blocked by the refusal of professionals. In August 2024, only five communities had launched the registration of conscientious objectors – La Rioja, Murcia, Cantabria, Catalonia and the Canary Islands—, According to data cited by the country. The lack of this instrument in the rest generates an unequal application of the law and keeps many women dependent on private clinics or transfers to other provinces. Besides, As Efe points outallegations of harassment persist at the gates of clinics and bureaucratic delays in the procedure. A fragmented map. The Ministry of Health has published that in 2024 106,172 voluntary interruptions of pregnancy (IVE) were recorded, which is equivalent to a rate of 12.36 per 1,000 women between 15 and 44 years. The figure reflects a slight increase Regarding 2023. According to the data, the general photo reveals an obvious gap: almost eight out of ten abortions (78.7%) were carried out in private clinics, while public health assumed only 21.2% of the total. Hence, the website has been launched, designed to overcome the territorial differences that continue to mark real access to abortion. In territories such as Cantabria, more than 88% of IVE are carried out in public hospitals, while in La Rioja and Navarra the proportion exceeds 75%. In Galicia, three out of four abortions are practiced in the public network. The distribution of abortions in Spain reflects unequal access to the public system. In Madrid, more than 162,000 women interrupted their pregnancy in the last decade, but only 177 could do so in a public hospital. In other territories, such as Extremadura, Ceuta and Melilla, official data are even more sharp: not a single procedure was carried out in public health. And in communities such as Aragon, Asturias, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Andalusia or the Basque Country, the proportion did not exceed 5%. This territorial disparity reveals the almost absolute dependence of the private network in much of the country. Critical voices. During the act on the occasion of the 40 years of legalization, activists such as Silvia Aldavert, from the I want to abort, They denounced that many autonomies They interpret the legal deadlines in a restrictive way: “When the law speaks of 14 weeks, it must be 14 + 6 days. In many communities it is interpreted as 14 exact, not one more day.” Minister Ana Redondo He stressed That 80% of IVE are carried out in private clinics, which “violates the principle of territorial equality” and converts abortion into “a class issue.” The cost of moving hundreds of kilometers, asking for free days at work or paying a private clinic makes the difference between being able to exercise the right in decent conditions or not. The testimonies confirm it. The case of Marta Vigara, a woman who was denied a therapeutic interruption in Madrid, uncovered that in some public hospitals There were hardly any abortions and that the usual solution was to refer to the private one. There is also the testimony collected by Newtral De Laura Gil, who had to travel to Brussels to interrupt her 31 weeks pregnancy before the refusal of Spanish clinical committees, an example of how economic capacity acts as a filter. The investigation points to two key factors: systematic outsourcing to private clinics and the objection of consciousness applied collectively, despite the fact that the law establishes that it must be individual and in writing. Conscientious objection as wall. The right of professionals to object is still one of the main pitfalls. “You cannot sacrifice a fundamental right of women at the expense of conscientious objection,” Minister Ana Redondo warnedremembering that the Article 139.1 of the Constitution … Read more

The danger of using AI chatbots for everything is real: MIT has discovered the “cognitive debt”

by

A MIT study He has shown that chatgpt and similar tools generate what they call “cognitive debt”: students who resort to them for total use end up writing better, but thinking worse. Why is it important. The study contradicts the belief that AI is like a calculator: a simple support that frees us for more complex reasoning. Actually, these tools can atrophy the brain connections that build critical thinking. The facts. 54 university students have spent months writing essays, divided into three groups: Grupo LLM, which used Chatgpt. Search motor group, which used Google. And group Solo-Cerebro, without external tools. The researchers measured their neuronal activity with electroencephalograms and the results have been overwhelming: those who used a neuronal connectivity systematically lower in all frequency bands. Compared to the group that only used its brain, there was a lower activation in key networks that connect parietal, temporal and frontal regions, fundamental for attention, memory and semantic processing. In Xataka 81% of interviewers suspected the traps with AI in interviews: 31% have confirmed it without a doubt and they have put a brake The contrast. The essays generated with AI received better notes, both from teachers and evaluating algorithms. But their authors remembered worse what they had written minutes before and felt a minor authorship about their texts. When they forced the usual users to write without help, their brain patterns showed that dependence on external support. They had lost ability to reactivate the necessary neural networks to write independently. How to walk without support after years doing it with crutches. Yes, but. The students who learned to write without ia and then used it for the first time maintained their engagement neuronal They even showed better memory and reactivation of broad brain areas. The key difference: You need to know how to think before you can think with machines. In perspective. This pattern replicates what we see in other professions: The subway driver who feels alienated because the train drives alone. Translators turned into machine editors. 3D creatives that only retouch what the AI ​​generates. {“Videid”: “X9R6K72”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Chatgpt Pulse”, “Tag”: “Technology”, “Duration”: “67”} The threat. The study also analyzed university students who already had developed writing skills. The effects could be more severe in adolescents who are still building these cognitive abilities. As a Dartmouth teacher said: we run the risk of creating “an educated generation with AI shortcuts” that lacks independent thinking skills. And now what. The sequence matters more than technology. First, you learn to think. Then, you learn to think with machines. The brain needs to build those Neuronal highways before being able to delegate selectively in AI. The study concludes that educational interventions should “combine the assistance of AI tools with learning phases without tools” to optimize both immediate skill and long -term neuronal development.

Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t care to lose $ 200,000 million in AI. The real risk would not be betting on it, ensures

by

“We are going to invest aggressively. Even if we lost a couple of hundreds of billions of dollars it would be an annoyancebut it is better than being left behind in the race for superintelligence. “Those words recently pronounced Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO. The founder of Facebook does not tend to shake his hand when making risky technological bets. He already knows what it is to lose them: Metaverso is being a failure for the moment, but even if he does not seem to want to leave that bet. The company continues to invest in it even though It is estimated which has already lost 45,000 million dollars in that project. But for him the commitment to AI, although it seems exorbitant, is almost mandatory strategically. In the interview In the Podcast Access The Meta CEO explained how In fact the Risk for a company as a goal would not be aggressive enough. In the recent Trump dinner With the great leaders of the technological segment in the US, Zuckerberg promised to invest at least 600,000 million dollars in the United States until 2028. Analysts believe that The numbers do not fit: It is estimated that Meta will invest about 80,000 million dollars in the US in the second half of 2025 (including all its expenses). That would make it necessary that from 2026 to 2028 he spent 520,000 million, but experts do not see it feasible and some They think than these comments They are more business marketing than anything else. But what is true is that both goal and other large technology companies are investing extraordinary amounts of money in this field. We already saw that Capex’s forecasts of some of them are huge in 2025 due to that commitment to AI data centers: Amazon: 100,000 Millions of dollars Microsoft: 80,000 Millions of dollars Google: 75,000 Millions of dollars Goal: 65,000 Millions of dollars Apple: 12,000 Millions of dollars Thus, Mark Zuckerberg is not too frightened to lose 200,000 million dollars in AI, but he also knows what is something like that. In April 2024 their financial results were so disastrous That their shares suddenly 19%, which was equivalent precisely to a drop in the stock market capitalization of 200,000 million dollars. Of course, Meta recovered. In that downturn the goal shares were just 500 dollars. Today and a half later, they are at maximum, $ 778. The company has stumbled in the past, but Zuckerberg has risen again and again AI bubble: “I think there is definitely the possibility, at least empirically, based on large infrastructure constructions of the past and how they led to bubbles.” And even so, Zuckerberg is clear that this is a critical moment for this technology and it is better to bet on the big not to do it and lose. For him going too slow can make you lose a privilege position, and that would be fatal because according to him “it will be the most important technology that will allow the greatest number of new products, innovation and creation of value in history.” In Xataka | Big Tech have buried thousands and billions in AI.

My real experience with the Aura Triple Aero 15.6 “Pro Max

by

I have spent recent weeks using the Aura Triple Aero 15.6 ”Pro Maxrimbonbante name for this device consisting of three external monitors that fold in one piece. Your promise is that you can turn any space into a workstation with 43 inches of screen. After using it both at home and in a hotel, I have a clear perspective for who makes this product of 520 euros. The first time I deployed the three screens at home I felt that immediate satisfaction of having plenty of visual space. The deployment is not entirely intuitive, but once you understand it, it is fast: about thirty seconds have passed since you put it on the table until you have everything working. A single USB-C cable from my laptop-which transmits both image and energy, as it should be-in addition to the power supply, and the three screens come alive. It is elegant in its simplicity. Image: Xataka. But here comes the first nuance: This weighs 3.2 kilos. It is not very much, but it is not a trivial weight when you already load with more luggage. In addition, the dimensions tell: in my usual backpack it is not possible, one of the greats is needed. The 15.6 inches come in pleasure, the problem is the metal structure that surrounds them. I had to reorganize my cabin suitcase, where it enters very tightly. A centimeter more thickness and would have to use another suitcase, of those that do not enter the cabin and have to be billed. If it becomes a few centimeters larger, I would not have entered the cabin suitcase. But he entered. Image: Xataka. Then we arrive at another nuance: the reality of the full HD in the middle of 2025. I come from working with a 4K monitor at home (Something else, in fact), either to use the 14 -inch laptop screen. The difference in sharpness is palpable. MacBook Pro 14 “: 3,024 × 1,964 pixels. Density.254 ppp. Huawei Mateview 28,2 “: 3840 x 2560 pixels. Density: 163 ppi. Aura Triple Aero 15.6 “Pro Max: 1920 x 1080 pixels (each panel). Density: 141. And not only sharpness, the quality of the panel also falls behind. IPS / WLED panel, maximum brightness of 350 nits and contrast 1,200: 1. The three 1080p screens of the aura are functional, but when you are accustomed to the density of pixels and the quality of a modern panel, the text is no longer fully clear. Image: Xataka. Using these panels I got an email from a Baltic person, and I could simply distinguish if what was about a vowel of his name was a point or a tilde. It turned out to be a point. It is the type of concession you can accept on a travel devicebut that completely discards the aura as a permanent replacement for my desktop configuration. I do not think that is his intention, but it is good to take it into account in case that temptation arises. Admitted resolutions. Image: Xataka. Possibilities of disposition or duplication of screens. Image: Xataka. During my stay at the hotel, the test came with the real use. I had to prepare a couple of interviews documented and preparing the questions, and analyze the balance of a company related to the above. There, the aura shone. Be able to review spreadsheets and maintain Notion Open, adding the browser in sight, and Apple Music in a third panel … I felt it was worth it. The fact is that the work had already begun at home, there I just had to give him the final auctions. Less than two hours of use. The process of riding, configuring, disassembling and especially loading the system in the suitcase during the entire trip made me question if it had been worth it The space sacrificed in the suitcase and the three extra kilos. Something characteristic that did not expect to assess is the ability to use screens in different provisions. You can put them straight, lean the sides to you as if it were a Cockpit… or something surprising: put them in the form of a triangle. The panels are de facto have the magnetized edge to get well if you want to use them like that. You can make the experience more immersive guiding the side screens towards you … Image: Xataka. … or you can put them in a triangle shape so that those who are around can see what you show on the screen without the need to get together in front of the main panel. Image: Xataka. Cenital view of the triangular disposition. Image: Xataka. It makes sense to A case of specific use: Allow several people to see the screen on the screen simultaneously and without having to pile up, simply being around a table. It is true that it is very useful in that case, but it is also true that it is a tremendously specific case. This device brings integrated speaker, oriented towards the back of the central panel. It works, but don’t wait miracles. They sound better and with better orientation the integrated in my laptop. The support is robust and offers three heights, although the lowest position is unstable with the weight of the set. It is a frame that must be treated with some care. By the way, the product box came both with temperate crystals for the three panels and with the case. Image: Xataka. All that is sold separately, but I would say it is almost imperative for those who buy the aura. Swork everything, the case. Without it, the external screen exposed when the device is folded is an invitation to the disaster. This product is not exactly plug and play: It is necessary to download your drivers From the manufacturer’s website, but once installed, the use is immediate. The central issue with the aura is who makes sense for. It is a unusual pinton product, of which we stop to examine when … Read more

The culture of queuing in UK is so powerful that many British suffer a real cultural shock by “asking for the time”

by

“The other day I go to the post office and everyone is sitting everywhere, in a corner of the room, etc … there is no tail.” So explained The British Tiktoker @edwardthelife What for him is “one of the greatest greatest cultural differences: the fact that in Spain” is asked at the same time. “ And it may seem an exaggeration, but (in the light of comments) it makes sense: “An English, even being alone, will form an orderly tail of a person,” said George Mikes and Check the anthropologist Kate Fox: The British loves to queue each other. Or, at least, they have them so within their cultural conception of the world that they make them by default, almost without realizing it. But does it make sense? The theory of tails. As it seemsthe first serious mathematical study on the queues was made by a Danish, Agner Krarup Erlang. His intention was to know how to dimension the telephone switches to attend optimally. At that time, the operators had to manage the calls manually and the intention of the Danish mathematician was how to reduce the queues without spending disproportionate. Since then we have learned a lot of interesting things. For example, now we know that common sense (the solution to bottles is to expand the number of lanes) It doesn’t always work. In the case of roads, for example, there is an optimal number for a certain amount of cars: if the number of lanes above that optimal lanes is wide, cars change too much lane and, in the end, the flow becomes slower. But in this case the two are tails, right? Indeed, the fundamental difference between the “English tail” (to call it in some way) and the “Spanish time” (to call it from another) is not that one is a tail and the other does not, but the rules that govern each one. The second, in fact, is still a social/virtual order without physical training. The English, requiring that all members physically make a line, allows us to better ponder the number of people in front of them. The Spanish, having verbal control, allows people to do things in the meantime (or to wait in more comfortable places). Is there any better than another? From what we know about virtual tails, order without physical formation usually Improve satisfaction of users (to the extent that you release the client from “being planted”). However, this system also encourages abandonment more than the other. That is why, when I wait for her It is not too long And therefore release user time does not make sense, a single long row (especially if there are several homogeneous attention positions) It usually favor the feeling of equity. ANDSa may be the most reasonable explanation. Because, in Spain, there are also physical tails. It is when the wait is long or when the physical space does not allow to create a tail easily when “asking for the time” emerges naturally. So I suppose that whoever has to take note of the Tiktoker comments is the mail itself. Most likely, neither space nor the time of waiting is the most recommended.

We have been wanting to see how diseases moved in real time. The first steps are taking Valencia

by

Epidemiology is a science with delay. We know it well, We learned it in the worst way: Since a pathogen begins to move through a region until we collect, analyze and interpret the data that allows us to say that an epidemic is incipient, weeks spend. A few weeks that would be vital to introduce measures capable of reducing their impact and saving many lives. What happens is that, until now, that has been a chimera: bacteria and suspension viruses They are invisible. Although there are initiatives such as analyzing fecal waters, the idea of ​​seeing how pathogens move around the world seems almost science fiction. An increasingly close science fiction, yes. A curious idea. Now, a joint team of the University of Valencia (UV) and the University University of València (UPV) They have developed The first example of a biosensor capable of detecting air changes quickly, easily and cheaply. The small antenna works without additional reagents, or laboratory tests: only small electrical circuits. That is the interesting thing. Valencian researchers have tried the concept with the M13 virus, a well -known microorganism, but the results are promising and extrapolable to any other aerial transmission pathogen. The two key factors. As explained David Giménez (professor of the Department of Chemistry-Physics of the UV) in Levante, are “its price” that “facilitates its scalability and integration into early alert systems, both in Smart Buildings as in devices Weareables“And its” immediacy “because” by not needing additional reagents, this method allows you to instantly detect the presence of real -time pathogens, avoiding long sampling and laboratory analysis processes. “ And now what? Now a lot of work to do. It is true that a network of this type of sensors that were able to monitor in real time the air of train stations, wagons, schools, shopping centers or jobs would give us vital information. The problem is that, of course, there is still much to reach that point. Maybe more than we would like. Do not forget that, between 1980 and 2010, the annual number of infectious disease outbreaks He tripled worldwide and causative diseases almost folded. In addition, none of the “public health emergencies of international importance” (with the nuanced exception of COVID-19) that we have suffered since 2007 was caused by a new and unknown infectious agent. We live in the “Pandemics era“And everything suggests that we are not prepared for it. Of course, the good news is that, despite the increase in the total number of outbreaks,” global improvements in prevention, early detection, control and treatment are increasingly effective. “ And this of Valencia is a good example of this. Or it is better for us because we have the enemy at the doors. Image | Jon Tyson Image | The ‘era of epidemics’ has already begun: are we prepared to face them?

His essential works to enjoy a real roller mountain macabra

by

It is, without the slightest doubt, one of the most venerated names of the current Hollywood. His filmography is full of success and commercial failures, but it is undeniable that his peculiar aesthetics, as well as the very recognizable of his visual designs and his themes have made him a venerated author with all the letters. The recent box office success of ‘Bitelchús Bitelchús‘, in which for the first time he has returned to one of his most beloved creatures, and the success of’Wednesday‘In Netflix they invite us to review their filmography. These are the best films of Tim Burton’s long career. Pee Wee’s great adventure (1985) Shared authorship for the debut as director of Tim Burton, even today one of his most irresistibly strange films. Shared because it is a Burton movie, but also by Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman, the unclassifiable comic whirlwind that tirelessly seeks his stolen bicycle in this film where the protagonist works as an alter ego of the Burton that we will see growing in successive films: a big child in perpetual state of wonder before the extravagances of the world. Frantic and unpredictable, and that is especially enjoyed in the double program with the lysergic television program presented in the eighties. Bitelchús (1988) When the budgets that Burton managed were still modest, the director was already able to stand an absolutely personal and overflowing world of the issues that would give him fame: sinister humor, strident pop aesthetics, marginalized characters and heard … Winona Ryder in a story that toys with a runaway vision and hooligan of the beyond and how to interact with him with a curious investment of roles: the living are more scary than the dead. Batman (1989) The film that gave the starting gun to the cinema of modern superheroes and the current vision of a hero with multiple faces, such as Batman. Today he has a naive Camp point that makes it endearing, but continues to endure the passage of time thanks to the undisputed quality of his designs, his very well chosen cast and his abundance of iconic moments. A true foundational milestone. Eduardo Handijeras (1990) After the success of ‘Batman’ and before shooting the sequel, Burton returned with an entirely own film, he is much more restrained and romantic than ‘Bitelchús’ (although he would repeat with him Winona Ryder, who for a while became a symbol of his filmography to the same extent as spiral graphics or marginalized characters). Here the story of a monster of great heart and unable to love was supported by extraordinary designs, as well as in purely Burtonian venom traces: of tributes to the cinema of monsters of the universal symbolized in Vincent Price to the indisged criticism of the American residential life through another Camp icon: Tom Jones. Batman Reto (1992) Another founding film, in this case of the cinema of Superheroes “Author”: Burton used the volatile template of Batman to introduce his particular obsessions about the characters outside the society and the misfits, thus coimo to propose a specially dark and expressionist Gotham, and the result is one of the most impressive villain galleries of the superhero cinema. Danny de Vito’s penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer’s catwoman are so complex and fascinating that they are still considered the definitive versions of the characters in the cinema. Ed Wood (1994) Burton took as a starting point a delicious excuse (the crazy biography of the one that was considered as “worst director of the history of cinema”) to consider, precisely, an ode of love to the environment and the enthusiasm necessary to stand up a film, however horrendous. Presenting Wood and his cohort of Freaks (a Bela Lugosi in the last, Tor Johnson, the seer Criswell, vampire) as authentic anti -system virus infiltrated involuntarily in the industry, has its main virtue and its greatest defect at the same point: its absolutely dyed vision of rose of the time and its protagonist. However, a unique biopic and a memorable route of entry in the sewers of the Z fifties. Mars Attacks! (1999) Recovering the Bitelchús hooligan vein and with an absolutely coral and overflowing of stars (to mention only a few: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Clones, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny Devito, Sarah Jessica Parker and many others), Burton took as a start Fifty to get your most satirical and destroying vein for a walk. The result is an acidic comedy full of gore and humor that is visually not as characteristic as other films of its filmography, but spiritually yes. Sleepy Hollow (1999) Up to this point, Tim Burton’s career was unstoppable: more or less moderate box office successes and the appreciation of criticism, which would stop when he signed one of his worst films, the remake of ‘The planet of the apes’. But before, he signed this splendid tribute to Hammer’s horror cinemaoverflowing of unforgettable images and again with an excellent cast in which only a something excessive joins a little. In any case, winks to Bava and Fisher and a great Gothic atmosphere for an absolutely delicious film. Sweeney Todd: The Diabolic Barber of Fleet Street (2007) ‘The planet of the apes’ was the departure gun for a much less interesting burton stage. Although he has his fans, ‘Big Fish’ is not up to his classics, and despite his popularity, ‘Charlie and the chocolate factory’ is very far from both Roald Dahl’s novel and previous adaptation. Where he did partially trace the flight was in ‘Sweeney Todd’, an ambitious version of the 1979 musical that maintains all the great, excessive, excessive gothic charm of the original, with His touch of cloudy romanticism. A wonder of morbid dementia with an absolutely fabulous timeless halo. Alicia in Wonderland (2010) Here this adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s immortal novel does not convince us too much: its flashing aesthetics and its freedoms with the text place it very far from more memorable versions, such as Disney’s own animated. However, their errors (some horrible designs, … Read more

An US missile dynamited a boat in the middle of the Caribbean. And then Venezuela went to Gemini to see if the video was real

by

The story began on September 2, when Donald Trump affirmed That the United States Armed Forces had executed a precision attack against a “positively identified” vessel that transported drugs from Venezuela and was operated by members of the Aragua Train, designated by Washington as narcoterrorist, with a balance of eleven dead according to their own story. From then on until now all kinds of events have occurred. The video. Shortly after, the president amplified the message with A declassified video Through social truth that shows the detonation of a white missile in the high seas and a public warning to future traffickers, while Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, He corroborated the characterization of “lethal coup” against an objective that would have sailed from Venezuelan coasts. A senior defense official, cited in the background, confirmed The action as a precision attack against a “Drug Vessel”, in line with the known employment of rapid boats of three or four force used for cocaine routes to the north. Context and political framework. The announcement came days after Trump will order to deploy Three marine ships in the Caribbean to reinforce the interdiction of posters against Venezuela, expanding the role of the pentagon in missions traditionally led by the coastal guard. The president already He had instructed At the beginning of the year to prepare force use options against transnational criminal organizations after declaring them as foreign terrorist organizations in executive order, an framing that seeks to provide greater legal flexibility to extraterritorial kinetic operations. In parallel, the treasure sanctioned to the so -called Cartel de los Soles (Officer Network accused by Washington of drug trafficking and supporting the Aragua Train and the Sinaloa Cartel) as a specially designated global terrorist entity, consolidating a financial and safety pressure scaffolding. Caracas responds. Shortly after, Nicolás Maduro, whom the United States considers an illegitimate ruler for electoral fraud, human rights and drug trafficking violations, He warned That Rubio pushed Trump towards war and promised resistance if Venezuela is attacked, describing US military accumulation as “the greatest threat that our continent has seen in 100 years.” Although the Venezuelan government did not immediately react to the concrete attack, the martial tone and the doctrine of “defense of the territory” enunciated by Maduro raise the political bar and increase the risk of incidents of narrative or operational climbing in a dense maritime environment and complex jurisdictions. The norm vs the lethal force. It also happened another problem. I remembered The Wall Street Journal that the expansion of the prominence of the Pentagon contrasted with the standard procedures of the Coast Guard described by the former United States embassy in Panama, John Feeley: Identification, stop orders, priority for preserving life, neutralization of engines with .50 caliber shooters from helicopters if the boat tries to flee and approach to verify load. According to that doctrine, the use of direct lethal fire is not the norm except in legitimate defense; Hence, the kinetic destruction of a suspicious boat, without the typical sequence of “interdiction and approach”, represents a qualitative leap in commitment rules and in the signal issued to criminal networks and the states that shelter them. The video goes on a suspect. The clip, which Trump presented as proof of the effectiveness of its anti -drug strategy and as a warning to organized crime, He went to the protagonist being quickly questioned by Caracas. Freddy Ñáñez, Minister of Venezuelan Communication, accused in the networks Social to the president to disseminate images “generated by artificial intelligence”, pointing out the aesthetics “almost caricaturesca” of the explosion, visual artifacts and water with an artificial aspect, characteristic of synthetic productions. He did it with an equally doubtful study. Namely: He asked Google’s AI, Gemini, what seemed to him the sequence, and it responded after an analysis that “it was very likely” that it would have been created generated by ia. The doubts to the operation. Again, Trump said the ship crew belonged to the Aragua Train, a Venezuelan criminal organization designated by Washington as a terrorist group in February. However, the veracity of the material was questioned. Reuters Indian That he did not find conclusive manipulation evidence, although he continues to review the video as part of his verification process. Beyond the technical debate, security experts They expressed reservations On the performance in itself following the exhibition of Feeley and remembering that the usual practices of the Coast Guard seek to preserve lives and rarely open fire against suspicious vessels, since most crews are surrendered without resistance. Electoral key message. Plus: The episode has acquired a greater relevance for the context in which it occurred: it was Trump’s first public appearance in a week, in the midst of Speculations about your status Health at 79. The video became A propaganda instrument More than in a military part, used by the president and his main ministers (Marco Rubio outdoors and Pete Hegseth in defense) to underline his hard hand against drug trafficking. The message that accompanied the clip In social Truth, written with Trump’s usual excessive style, reinforced the intimidating tone towards any attempt to introduce drugs in the United States. The shadow of AI. In addition, the controversy has spread to the broadest field of digital manipulation. Ñáñez insisted in which the piece was an artificial creation aimed at manufacturing a media victory, while, in parallel, Trump himself contributed to confusion by disqualifying as “probably generated by AI” another viral recording that showed alleged objects thrown through a White House window, despite the fact that the Executive himself himself He had explained which was a contractor performing maintenance work. The contradiction fed the perception of a president willing to use the Technological ambiguity To mold the political story. F-16A of Venezuela Two fighters appear. In the last hours the tension has increased. The pentagon confirmed that two Venezuelan fighters F-16 They approached To the American destroyer USS Jasson Dunham, a Arleight Burke class ship deployed in the Caribbean as part of the drug … Read more
