SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

The Western media is already trying to rewrite the story of Lula’s victory. They want you to believe it was a triumph of broad democratic coalitions and institutional resilience.
But the material reality on the ground tells a completely different story.
Three weeks before the election, Lula was trailing in the polls. The algorithms were rigged against him. The cosmopolitan bourgeoisie that backed him in 2022 had abandoned him.
So Lula stopped talking about abstract democracy and started talking about survival.
He promised to cut the workweek from 44 to 40 hours. He targeted the crushing cost of public transport. He expanded the social wage. He stopped preaching to the liberal elites and started speaking directly to the factory floor and the favelas.
And when the far-right took a two-point lead after the first round, the working class did what the working class always does when the system tries to erase them.
They took the streets.
The mobilizations on Avenida Paulista and across Brazil were the largest spontaneous left-wing uprisings in the country's history. This was not a campaign managed by political consultants. It was an organic explosion of the popular classes physically dragging their candidate across the finish line.
This changes the entire calculus of Lula's fourth term.
In 2022, he owed his victory to a broad coalition of elites who just wanted stability. In 2026, he owes his survival entirely to the streets. The empire threw tariffs, censorship, and disinformation at him, thinking the working class was too atomized to fight back.
They forgot that when you push a population to the brink, they do not just vote. They mobilize.
Lula does not owe this mandate to the algorithms, the media, or the bourgeoisie.
He owes it to the workers who built the country. And the streets always collect their debts.
mear al psicópata sin siquiera mencionarlo. ¡qué animal político del carajo, Lula!
Agradeço ao ex-presidente @mauriciomacri pelos cumprimentos e pelos bons votos. Compartilho plenamente o desejo de uma região que trabalhe unida pelo desenvolvimento e pela prosperidade de nossos povos. E lembro com saudades dos tempos em que diferenças circunstanciais entre nossos países se discutiam e se solucionavam de maneira civilizada e republicana.

Israel going to the polls changes NOTHING for Palestinians.
Western media treats the election as a contest between Netanyahu’s far-right coalition and a "moderate" opposition. In reality, the alternative to Netanyahu is an alliance of generals and hardliners who have driven the exact same machinery of violence and dispossession for decades:
Gadi Eisenkot: The opposition frontrunner who formulated the Dahiya doctrine—mandating the deliberate, disproportionate destruction of civilian infrastructure. He sat in the war cabinet over Gaza and dismissed ICC war crimes investigations as "antisemitism."
Yair Lapid: The supposed centrist whose stated principle is "maximum Jews on maximum land with minimum Palestinians."
Avigdor Lieberman: Declared "there are no innocents in Gaza" while cutting off water, power, and food.
Naftali Bennett: Boasted on record, "I have killed many Arabs in my life, and there is no problem with that."
As Peter Oborne reports from the West Bank, an opposition victory might actually be far more dangerous internationally. It would provide Western allies with the diplomatic PR cover they crave to drop pressure, restore impunity, and pretend Israel is back to being a "rules-based democracy."
Meanwhile, on the ground:
State-armed settlers continue expelling Palestinian communities at gunpoint.
Demolitions across East Jerusalem accelerate unabated.
Human rights bodies document systemic, industrial torture across detention camps.
The ballot box in Tel Aviv is not a choice between occupation and peace. It is a choice between overt extremism under Netanyahu and an internationally sanitized version of the exact same apartheid state under his rivals.
en cierto país el más votado en la 1ª vuelta, A, aventaja al segundo, B, por 6.79%. en la 2ª B gana por 11.3%. ¡brillante triunfo de la democracia!
en otro país, en la 1ª A gana por 1.87%. en la 2ª B se impone por 3.58%. ¡fraude, fraude!
¡déjense de joder, mononeuronales!

No es Bibi, es la sociedad israelí. No es el culpable, es el síntoma. Recuerden que Netanyahu le ganó a Peres menos de un año después que asesinaran a Rabin y cuando la sociedad israelí debía decidir si continuaba el proceso de paz con los palestinos o derribar los acuerdos de Oslo como pedía Netanyahu. Y ya en 1995 cuando existían solo 150 mil colonos y no los 70O mil de ahora, la sociedad (claramente no toda pero si la mayoría que formó un gobierno con Bibi) prefirió combatir el legado de Rabin
si el propagandista de genocidios Wiñazki no me hubiera bloqueado podría refrescarle la memoria acerca de la prohibición de candidatos y partidos árabes en la “única democracia de blah…”

¿el hecho de que el señor Elsztain sea el dueño de la mayoría de los shoppings donde están las salas de cine tendrá algo que ver?
La inmensa mayoría de los complejos de Argentina rechazaron programar NAZA, documental sobre las atrocidades israelíes en Gaza

El único que la está proyectando es el CINE ARTE CACODELPHIA, donde se agotan las entradas y se suman muchas funciones

connivencia política aparte, si no hay noticia roja o azul de Interpol ni requisitoria formal de la justicia brasileña el tránsito de Flavio Bolsonaro y familia por la Argentina es perfectamente legal.
desde el domingo a la noche viene sonando sin intermitencia en mi cabeza ‘Fé’, de Caetano y Maria Bethânia:
“Fé pra quem é forte
Fé pra quem é foda
Fé pra quem não foge a luta
Fé pra quem não perde o foco
Fé pra enfrentar esses filhos da puta”
acá se las dejo, por si alguien no la oyó.

¿así que Cagonaro huyó como rata de Brasil? los Cagonaros son muy valientes para mandar a asesinar gente, como Marielle, pero muy cobardes para enfrentar los cargos en un juicio penal.

El video completo es aún más contundente: el partidario de Netanyahu dice “Dónde está Hitler que no acabó con ustedes en Auschwitz?”.
Israel, no lo entenderías

Para los que dicen que hubo fraude por la extensión del horario, hubo sólo 34330 votos luego de las 17 horas. Lula ganó por más de 4 millones de votos. Amigos bolsonaristas, no sean ridículos!
Terminamos de analisar os logs de urna do próprio TSE. (resultado das 06:40)
Para cada seção, contamos quantos votos entraram depois das 17h e quantos desses eleitores foram habilitados sem biometria. Os logs são públicos e qualquer pessoa pode conferir.
Analisamos os logs de 497.895 de 497.897 seções do Brasil (sem o exterior); as 2 restantes não têm log no site do TSE. Em seções onde a urna foi trocada durante o dia, lemos só o log da última urna; por isso 0,1% dos votos não entram na conta.
Resultado: 0,03% dos votos foram registrados depois das 17h (34.330 votos). Desses, 15,9% foram sem biometria (5.469 votos), contra 12,4% antes das 17h.
Atenção ao comparar: a hora acima é a do registro do voto, e a habilitação sem biometria demora mais (em média 67 s, contra 29 s com biometria). Por isso, parte de quem foi identificado antes das 17h só votou depois. Pela hora em que o eleitor foi identificado, 13,1% dos votos após 17h foram sem biometria (3.359 de 25.676), contra 12,4% antes das 17h.
Estados com maior fatia de votos depois das 17h: RO (0,06% dos votos após 17h, 9,4% deles sem biometria); DF (0,05% dos votos após 17h, 11,6% deles sem biometria); RR (0,05% dos votos após 17h, 11,0% deles sem biometria).
5.244 seções tiveram votos sem biometria registrados depois das 17h (3.195 pela hora da identificação) e foram sinalizadas, para comparar o resultado delas com o das demais.
