Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Book of the day
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights (1847).
Brontë REJECTS violent, abusive Heathcliff and so does Cathy. The right couple are young Cathy and Hareton.
Blame film adaptations for the TOXIC ‘romantic’ reading.

Mi deseo para hoy, Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer, es que pronto sea innecesaria esta jornada.
Hay que apelar a los hombres que también aborrecen la violencia para que nos ayuden a parar a los violentos.
Las mujeres merecemos respeto. ¡No más misoginia!

¿Os dais cuenta de que siempre hay que estar protestando por todo lo que se hace mal y nunca nos dan un motivo para salir en masa a la calle a dar gracias? (excluyo a la gente que tanto ayudó durante la Covid-19) Ya tocaría...

Mi más profundo agradecimiento al Clínic por el exquisito trato y el inmejorable tratamiento contra el cáncer al que se ha tenido que someter una persona muy cercana a mi. Sois lo mejor de la sanidad pública y tenemos mucha suerte de teneros.

Book of the day
Undertones of War (1928)
It took on average about a decade for the best memoirs and fiction about WWI to be published. This is one of the finest memoirs, by English poet Edmund Blunden.

Interesantísimo artículo en @elpais.com sobre la denuncia contra #Drake y #Spotify por el descontrol en la contabilidad de las escuchas de canciones.

El caso de Drake y los millones de escuchas “inauténticas”: la demanda contra Spotify que cuestiona a la industria musical
Una demanda contra la plataforma denuncia números inflados por robots, VPN y cuentas imposibles que escuchan 23 horas al día de música del célebre rapero (aunque esta historia no va sobre él)

Book of the day
Richard Dyer, White (1997)
A provocative classic of modern cultural criticism, aiming at considering racialization from the unusual angle of examining whiteness and how whites have self-represented.

Hay una exposición de Annie Leibovitz en A Coruña y una de las fotos es esta. 2006, creo. Se publicó en un montón de revistas.

HOY, Gaza.
Una vez más, la okupación sionista ha vuelto a bombardear y matar a los palestinos... ¿Y el mundo? Silencioso, ciego y sordo, porque la sangre palestina no tiene valor alguno… VERGÜENZA.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Vera Brittain, Testament of Youth (1933), Testament of Experience (1957)

Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "Try as much as you can to save democracy and freedom of the press and speech in America. Do not be a copy of a Middle East dictatorship. We look to you as a role model of Western civilization—please maintain it."

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

We urgently need a ray of light. With the failure of COP30, the planned surrender of Ukraine, what's going on in Gaza, the soon to be redacted Epstein files, ICE... it is very, very hard to feel minimally optimistic. I feel we're all doomed and I do hate that feeling because it helps the villains.

Afortunadamente, España está entre esos 40 países decentes que firman la carta. ¿Estaría en ese grupo con un gobierno de coalición PP/Vox?
Si sabes la respuesta, sabes a quién NO puedes votar en las próximas elecciones generales.

I'm an English Literature teacher in Spain and can say that interest in studying foreign languages other than English is also vanishing here. The colleagues in the French Dept lost their degree a while ago, the German teachers in my Dept are desperate for students
