Interesante entrevista de @ravilapinto de la que habría que aprender algunos asuntos, debatir a fondo otros y aplicar otros asuntos. Me gusta sobre todo la reflexión final: “Una reflexión final…

La entrevista comenzó con el tema de lo que es una política progresista, pero en último término lo que importa es el espíritu. Suena ingenuo, pero todo debe partir del amor y no del odio. Si esto se resume a un nosotros contra ellos, el Estado contra el mercado, izquierda contra derecha, ricos contra pobres, nada sirve. Hay que liderar a partir del amor por la humanidad. No se puede crear el cambio progresista a partir del odio.” En esto como dijera la sentencia evangélica en Marcos 7,14-16: "el que tenga oídos para oir que oiga" eltiempo.com/economia/sector…

We build rockets in Box Elder County to send astronauts into space, and once they arrive they can look back to see the Utah mine which produced the copper needed to send them there. To work in that mine and many others across the state, immigrants came from all over the world.

The point being, when it comes to red lipstick, as when it comes to anything that is an interface between your self and the world, it shouldn’t make you feel self-conscious. It should make you feel more gloriously, totally, who you are. nytimes.com/2023/12/04/style…

I have to agree with the French views about the Napoleon movie. nytimes.com/2023/11/24/arts/…

France Scoffs at an Englishman’s ‘Napoleon’ (Published 2023)

French critics considered Ridley Scott’s new biopic lazy, pointless, boring, migraine-inducing, too short and historically inaccurate. And that’s just to start.
