This is an incredible story on a 34-year-old Ukrainian woman, Iryna Terekh, who used to design furniture and is now CEO of Ukraine’s largest private defense company. She designed the process slashing drone-making time that has enabled Ukraine so much military success.

Really bad. Not shocking to me, but may be to those who haven’t followed.
At least 1 in 4 former NFL players develop CTE (a brain disease). Numbers actually likely much higher as it was diagnosed in 1/4 of former players (can only be diagnosed after death) and many more were left untested. Gift link.

I saw this guy’s shirt - “Universidad del Norte de Iowa” and I thought it was a novelty shirt and he’d probably never heard of Iowa. Often I see something like this in Spain, and it’s from like Brandy Melville. I was wrong! He is from Riverside, Iowa; his daughter went to UNI and the Spanish Club had these shirts made

I think it’s awesome that Mo’ne Davis, who as a 13yo became the first girl to pitch a shutout in the Little League World Series, just made her debut in the new Women’s Pro Baseball League.

Found this piece smart & well-done. Much of what we criticize as degeneracy-making a living as an influencer/on OnlyFans/in crypto, or giving up all ambition & scraping by-is conspicuous despair. We’ve gone from hedge phase to speculative to Ponzi.
But what will come next? Will anger & frustration at a rentier system too tilted towards those at the top just be scapegoating of the other/immigrants (as we see), or will we push for structural change?

In the Philly Inquirer, which I continue to say is among the best newspapers in the U.S., Dr. Atheendar S. Venkataramani writes: “We are overlooking the most critical element of public health for Americans: feeling stuck. …It’s more than just poverty, loneliness, or a lack of opportunity — and it is one of the biggest threats to our public health”
A devastating story on people on Flight 164, deported by Trump just before Venezuela earthquake. Most died/are missing presumed dead. Most were in asylum process, half had TPS before Trump canceled it. Tremendous reporting by María Luisa Paul & Arelis Hernández 🎁

I really think (and hope far more than I think) that this is the beginning of the end of Infantino.
And this gives me hope that narcissistic dictators can meet their end very suddenly. Trump next?! Please!

Mi viaje cuidadosamente organizado para poder ver partidos en casa de ambos Celta de Vigo y Dépor A Coruña, a buen precio en buenas fechas, ha sido derrumbado a la mitad a causa de un hongo.
¿Un hongo?
Sí, un hongo. 😞
Es lo que se veía! No pude capturar una buena foto, pero se veía como Pac-Man y después como un dinosaurio con la boca bien abierta y después como una luna creciente al revés.
ICE detuvo a un futbolista argentina mientras viajaba con su equipo Miami United FC. Pourrain vive en los EE.UU. desde hace 7 años y tiene visa de trabajo.
Imagina la crisis que hubiera desatado si hubiera sido Messi.
Terrific story by Rachel Bachman in the WSJ on how nobody wanted to finance the building of the Kansas City Current stadium, and nobody wanted to finance a stadium for women’s soccer. Every game has sold out and there’s a waiting list.

He must be ousted.
This story is just straight up insane.
It’s really depressing.
It’s about a 21yo Andrew Tate wannabe who was arrested - thanks to simps, had to look that up - after years of abuse of women & girls he forced/coerced into OnlyFans work while keeping most money owed them.

@setmeravelles@lgbtqia.space they could mute the thread if it annoys them. I wouldn’t worry about it.
Increíble.
Estaba intentando explicarle a un amigo estadounidense que el partido que hace acusaciones de corrupción contra la familia del Perro relacionado a trabajos de unos miles de euros … es el mismo partido que compra un ático de lujo de unos millones de euros para el uso de la Presidenta de Madrid.
No cuadra.
Replying to
@setmeravelles@lgbtqia.space haha that’s funny. When I first moved to Valencia from NYC, I saw three people (not in same group) in one day wearing a shirt supposedly from a bar in Brooklyn. I was baffled how it could be so popular that three random people in Spain knew the bar and I had never heard of it. I later saw the shirt at Brandy Melville or Springfield. The bar didn’t exist lol.
That’s what I expected today. But when I asked him, he was like, “no español” & I switched to English.
Good chance for Oyarzabal there. Even if it didn’t result in a goal.
If you are in Spain and do a Google search today (this has been true for me for weeks), it gives Spain colors and a ⚽️. If you have a VPN, and put it to Argentina, it gives Argentina colors. If other countries, it does both (not in every case, I tried a few, and France & Italy didn’t).
Dembéle for France and Bellingham for England both score in final minutes to make it a baseball score final. England wins 6-4 over France
Espero no ser pesada, pero tomen cuidado si volvéis a una casa impactada por los incendios.
Hubo un incendio en mi edificio en NYC hace años. Quedó apagado el incendio en una hora, pero entrando en mi piso para un minuto con el humo me dejó impactado más de una semana. Dormí fuera 5 días.

Immigrants shouldn’t need to be exceptional.
Yet Benjamin Fernandes is. Full scholarship to college then to Stanford for grad school, started a company to aid cross-border payments that has 1/2 million customers.
He’s now banned from U.S. because he’s from Tanzania.

Que asco, la marca del maravilloso Relevo Deportes (según yo), y sus cuentas con sus seguidores, han sido comprados por una compañía de gaming y van a ofrecer “noticias” del deporte pagado por sus enlaces a casas de apuestas. Me cago en la leche.

And then Iowa voted for him anyway, in all three elections 😭😭😭
Brutal decision by so many people from my home state, which has historically been a swing state! I hope they make better decisions in the midterm elections this November and then in 2 years, in presidential elections as well.
Quoting
Trump’s comments drew boos from his audience in Iowa, as well as widespread condemnation from Republicans and Democrats alike.
Donald Trump himself was exempted from military service after receiving four student deferments between 1964 and 1968, and a medical deferment for a “bone spur in his foot” after graduating from college.

Muy interesante sobre la unidad en los Bombers de la Generalitat que captura imágenes de los incendios. Distribuyen las imágenes a los medios, sí, pero también las imágenes son usadas para estudiar mejor la evolución de los incendios.
