Fotografía que retrata al doctor Joaquín V. González, rodeado de libros, en su oficina de la Capital Federal en el año 1915, cuando se desempeñaba como senador nacional por la provincia de La Rioja.
González falleció el 21 de diciembre de 1923 en Buenos Aires a los 60 años de edad. A lo largo de su vida desarrolló una extensa labor política, intelectual y académica, desempeñándose como gobernador de La Rioja entre 1889 y 1891, diputado nacional en dos oportunidades (1886-1889 y 1898-1901), varias veces ministro de gobierno, fundador del Instituto Superior del Profesorado, nacionalizador y primer presidente de la Universidad de La Plata, y senador nacional entre 1907 hasta su muerte en 1923. Fue además miembro de la Real Academia Española y de la Corte Permanente de Arbitraje internacional de La Haya.Image
González nació el 6 de marzo de 1863 en el pueblo de Nonogasta, en la provincia de La Rioja. Hizo los estudios primarios en la escuela de su pueblo y los secundarios en el Colegio Montserrat de la ciudad de Córdoba. Desde muy joven se vinculó al periodismo, colaborando en diarios locales como El Interior y La Revista de Córdoba, y ejerció la docencia en Historia, Geografía y Francés en la Escuela Normal de Córdoba.

En 1886 se doctoró en Derecho en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. De regresó en La Rioja desarrolló una intensa actividad intelectual y política. Participó en la fundación del diario La Propaganda, que sirvió como órgano político de la política de Miguel Juárez Celman en la provincia, fue miembro de la Comisión de Reforma Constitucional y redactó el proyecto de Constitución provincial. En 1887 publicó su primera obra historiográfica, La Revolución de la Independencia Argentina, ingresó al diario porteño La Prensa y fue designado primer profesor de Derecho de Minas en la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Paralelamente, fue electo como diputado nacional por la provincia de La Rioja en julio de 1886, a los 23 años de edad, en una elección parcial para determinar al reemplazante del mandato del renunciante Francisco V. Bustos, electo gobernador provincial. En 1889 renunció a su banca como diputado tras ser electo gobernador de La Rioja. Renunció al cargo en octubre de 1891 luego de la renuncia de Bartolomé Mitre a la candidatura presidencial en la fórmula del Acuerdo con Julio Argentino Roca.Image
Durante los siguientes años se mantiene alejado de la política siendo designado en 1894 como titular de la cátedra de Legislación de Minas de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, y en 1896 accede al Consejo Nacional de Educación siendo además académico titular de la recientemente creada Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

En 1898 fue nuevamente electo como diputado nacional por la provincia de La Rioja hasta que en septiembre de 1901 es designado por el presidente Julio Argentino Roca como Ministro del Interior. González se convierte rápidamente en el principal asesor y colaborador del presidente Roca, desempeñándose además interinamente en los ministerios de Relaciones Exteriores y de Justicia e Instrucción Pública en distintos momentos entre 1902 y 1904.

Bajo la iniciativa de González se impulsaron reformas de gran relevancia, entre ellas la ley electoral de 1902, que introdujo el sistema de circunscripciones uninominales y abría el juego político a nuevos actores, permitiendo la elección del primer diputado socialista en América como lo fue Alfredo Palacios. Sugirió el nombre de Juan Bialet Massé para la realización del informe que estudiaría la situación de los obreros en la Argentina y sobre la base de ese informe promovió el ambicioso Código del Trabajo, un proyecto de ley con más de 460 artículos orientado a establecer una legislación laboral avanzada para su época, presentado ante el Congreso Nacional en abril de 1904, aunque nunca tratado por el mismo. Este proyecto de 1904 fue un importante antecedente en la historia del derecho laboral argentino. De allí, surgieron las leyes de descanso dominical, del trabajo de mujeres y niños, de los accidentes de Trabajo, entre otras.Image

🚨The results of the 2025 Turning Point Action America Fest Straw Poll are in. Thread.

Vice President JD Vance won the 2028 nomination straw poll in a landslide, garnering a MASSIVE 84.2% of support, followed by Sec. Marco Rubio (4.8%), and Ron DeSantis (2.9%). Image
We also asked about President Trump's cabinet, and they remain broadly popular with the base.

The top three most popular cabinet secretaries are Sec. Pete Hegseth (83.3% strongly approve), Sec. RFJ Jr. (80.3% strongly approve), and Sec. Marco Rubio (78.6% strongly approve). Image
We also polled attendees views on Israel. A clear majority view Israel as one ally of many (53.4%), about 1/3 of attendees see Israel as our top ally (33.3), while 13.3% do not view Israel as an ally at all. Image

Colostrum is called "liquid gold" for a reason.

It's one of the most powerful tools we have to heal the gut, improve immunity / allergies and even brain function.

Here's how (🧵1/9):Image
Colostrum is also known as "first milk."

It is the milk produced immediately after birth, within the first few days in cows.

This is not any ordinary milk. Because newborns have very underdeveloped guts and immune systems, the colostrum is there to rapidly help fortify and mature it.

It contains multiple bioactives to accomplish this:

◇ Immunoglobulin antibodies
◇ Growth factors
◇ Oligosaccharides
◇ Enzymes

These factors synergize to yield some incredible benefits.Image
The most prominent component are the immunoglobulins.

These act in a few days to help the immune system and digestion:

➥ Immune exclusion: they bind to common pathogens like bacteria and viruses and prevent them from activating the immune response.

➥ Immune tolerance: these antibodies couple with our own immune cells in order to mount a proper response. Without them, the immune system can get overwhelmed and ignite excessive inflammation.

➥ Immune modulation: they can directly induce an anti-inflammatory response in T cells, critical for avoiding autoimmunity, allergies and other histamine related issues.Image

Cancer can now be detected through earwax—with 100% accuracy.

No blood. No scans. Just some wax from your ear.

Scientists have developed a simple test that can catch cancer in its earliest stages—before symptoms appear.

It can even tell you the exact moment your cancer is gone.

Earwax contains a treasure-trove of information about our health.

🧵 THREADImage
We all likely take earwax for granted—and prefer not to think about it.

However, the under-appreciated substance does more than keep your ears clean and free of debris—scientists have discovered that it contains a goldmine of health data.

Beyond that, earwax might be able to signal diseases like diabetes and cancer.Image
Cerumen is the technical term for earwax.

Ceruminous and sebaceous glands secrete a substance in the external auditory canal that mixes with sweat, hair, dust, and other debris.

The purpose of cerumen is to keep the ears lubricated and clean and create a barrier to discourage the entry of bugs and other foreign objects that might infiltrate and wreak havoc.Image

🔥🔥🔥Massive NATO scandal! They are attacking conservatives globally!

A Trump resistance org, Defend Democracy, operated from Brussels, and ran influence ops on Twitter. Then they partnered with the US gov, and NATO. Yes, they all worked with the Trump resistance folks!

Some of you may recognize this operation from their earlier days of Trumps presidency. This lady, Alice Stollmeyer, from Brussels called herself an influencer. Before Trump, she concentrated on climate stuff. After Trump was elected, she went berserk with resistance stuff.

Remember the 2017 Alt government Twitter accounts? Like Rogue Whitehouse, Alt HHS, and President Bannon etc. She handled the operations and called it the twistance. They went after Elon too in 2017? 😹 They locked down their accounts now conveniently.

Defend Democracy project funders include(d): Democracy and Media Fund, SIDN Fund, the US Mission to the EU,
NATO Public Diplomacy Division, Friedrich Naumann Foundation, Heinrich Boell Foundation.

This was a major link between the EU and:

US Mission to the EU is home to some 100 employees representing the Department of State, as well as the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture, Homeland Security, Justice and Treasury; the Agency for International Development and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

The US Mission to the EU funding under Rubio was discontinued including for DEI purposes too. But the NATO funding remains.

They operate a bunch of programs, some concentrating on disinfo and the EU DSA, here’s a few:

Their defenders of Democracy program is advised by a handful of people including Soros Open Societies Director, Heather Grabbe.

Another program called Democracy Drinks that operates meetings in multiple cities such as Brussels, The Hague, Berlin and Washington DC.

The DC Democracy Drinks, are organised by the Inter-Movement Impact Project and Rank the Vote.

The Inter Movement Project claims that Nina Jankowicz’s, The American Sunlight Education Initiative, is a project of theirs. REALLY? They own Nina? Powned..

Later, this NATO funded org, along with others, posted global anti right wing messages and letters on Politico. It was a huge scandal that few saw. Wanna see this?

If we need a reason to leave NATO, this is it. They ARE anti conservative, and funded these activities. We would be fools to stay.

Sources to follow and I’ll show you rampant NATO funding.Image
Image
Let’s start at the beginning. I saw Biden colluding with influence ops from foreign countries. That’s minor compared to this. A little research brought me to Politico.

Full Beam is key here… This was NATO funded. Oh yeah baby. Don’t let far right forces shape our destiny.

“**A message from Full Beam Media: To all new MEPs: congratulations, you inherit a remarkable legacy. A clear majority of voters want Europe to look to the centre - a Focal data poll conducted on EU election week shows. Civil society is asking: Stand for Europe's values. Don’t let far-right forces shape our destiny.**

archive.is/UFTFTImage
This is NATO funded Defend Democracy listed on the EU site. This also lists their meetings together.

This also links to their collusion on the DSA aka the digital services act. Plus tons more stuff.

Now remember they are the Trump resistance. I’ll show you this after I expose their NATO funding.

Dear @JDVance,
even if you stop sending money to Ukraine, it will NOT save your parents.

Zelensky and Yermak turned Ukraine into the scam capital.

2000 fraudulent call centers steal money from elderly in the US, Russia, and Europe...

They steal min $10 BILLION a year.

OCCRP Organized Crime and Corruption:

- A trail of ruined lives leads to a Kyiv call center.

- Luxury cars line the parking lot of Kyiv's upscale Mandarin Plaza shopping center, while their wealthy owners flaunt their wealth in jewelry and designer clothing stores.

- In one note from October 2019, a call center employee wrote about a 67-year-old Swedish woman: "She sold her house to pay, broke, crying."

The woman, contacted in Sweden, told reporters she was tricked into investing over $100,000 by Kyiv-based Milton employees who took out loans on her behalf.

- One Kyiv call center earned a whopping €65 million in profits in 2019.

Emerging Europe Policy and Governance Council:

- After massive exposure in the international media, Ukrainian call centers, including one located in the heart of Kyiv, continue to operate with impunity.

- The world's largest scam call center is located in central Kyiv.

- The scammers have currently reached victims in more than 50 countries.

- More than 18 months after the scam was exposed by some of the world's most prestigious media outlets, the Ukrainian government has taken no action.

Wem gehört der Donbas historisch gesehen wirklich?

Als gebürtiger Donbas-Bewohner und jemand, der die Geschichte seiner Heimat wirklich gut kennt, musste @13serhi über Putins jüngsten Unsinn, dass der Donbas schon immer russisch gewesen sei, nur lachen.

In diesem Thread wird er kurze historische Fakten über die Region zusammen mit seinen eigenen Beobachtungen als Einheimischer teilen.

Für gelegentliche Leser mag das viel Text sein, aber für alle, die das Thema wirklich verstehen wollen – anstatt leere, manipulative Propaganda zu schlucken –, ist es wertvoll.

(Auf dem Foto: Donezk, 2014) #Ukraine #Donbass #RussischePropagandaImage
Image
Er beginnt mit seinen eigenen Erinnerungen.

Er ist in einer kleinen Bergbaustadt im Donbas geboren und aufgewachsen.

Tatsächlich gab es unter der Bevölkerung viele Russen – oder Menschen, die sich als Russen identifizierten. Die meisten hatten Verwandte in Russland, und die überwiegende Mehrheit sprach Russisch.

Aber hier kommt das Interessante:

Alle, die auch Verwandte in Russland hatten, waren Nachkommen von Migranten AUS Russland, nicht umgekehrt.

Es handelte sich um Menschen, die im 20. Jahrhundert in den Donbas gezogen waren, und nicht um Einheimische, deren Familien nach Russland ausgewandert waren.

Was die wirklich Einheimischen betraf – diejenigen, deren Wurzeln bis ins 19. Jahrhundert oder noch weiter zurückreichten –, so gab es nur sehr wenige.

Seine Urgroßmutter war eine von ihnen. Sie hatte einen eindeutig ukrainischen Nachnamen und sprach ukrainisch.

Selbst aus diesen persönlichen Beobachtungen geht klar hervor, dass der Donbas erst im 20. Jahrhundert teilweise russisch wurde.

Wie genau das geschah, wird anhand historischer Fakten in diesem Thread erklärt.Image
Das Gebiet des heutigen Donbas blieb lange Zeit weitgehend unbewohnt und war als „Wildes Feld“ (Dyke Pole) bekannt.

Nur gelegentlich tauchten hier wilde Nomadenstämme auf (mit Ausnahme griechischer Siedlungen an der Küste des Asowschen Meeres).

Er wird in diesem Beitrag nicht näher auf die lange und langweilige Geschichten über diese Nomadenstämme – die Polowzer, Chasaren und andere – eingehen.

Bis zum 16. Jahrhundert (nach dem Zusammenbruch der Goldenen Horde) war dieses Gebiet eine Pufferzone zwischen dem Großfürstentum Litauen und dem Krim-Khanat.

Auf europäischen Karten jener Zeit wurde es als leere Steppe, als „Groß-Tartarien” oder als Teil des Krim-Khanats dargestellt.

In der Nähe entwickelte sich das ukrainische Kosakentum (Teil Litauens und später des polnisch-litauischen Commonwealth, das jedoch wie ein „Staat im Staat” mit eigenen gewählten Führern, Gesetzen und Gerichten funktionierte).

Es waren die Kosaken, die mit der tatsächlichen Besiedlung der „Wilden Felder” begannen – dem Gebiet, das wir heute als Donbas bezeichnen.

Die erste Erwähnung der Kosaken in diesen Gebieten stammt aus dem Jahr 1547 (eine der Quellen ist die Nikon-Chronik).

Es ist aber durchaus möglich, dass Kosaken dort sogar noch früher auftauchten.

Ab dem 17. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich daraus eine regelmäßige, schrittweise Besiedlung der wilden Region durch Ukrainer, die bis ins 18. Jahrhundert andauerte.

Dies wird in Werken und Karten (siehe unten) von Historikern aus verschiedenen Ländern bestätigt: Polen, Ukraine, Russland und Frankreich.Image

The market cap of sUSDai has surpassed $290M, with Arbitrum as the leading DeFi hub commanding 78% market share.

sUSDai is a yield-bearing synthetic dollar that generates returns by backing loans collateralized by AI infrastructure assets, primarily GPUs.

A 🧵✍️ Image
1/ Staking activity surged following the addition of Base and a $250M cap increase for USDai, announced at Devconnect in late November.

Since then, ~100 million sUSDai tokens have entered circulation, primarily on Arbitrum. Plasma follows with 20% of the supply, while Base has struggled to gain traction.Image
2/ Where does the yield come from?

🔹 Stage 1: US Treasury Bills to cover the lag between asset manufacturing and tokenization via CALIBER
🔹 Stage 2: Returns from tokenized GPU hardware through the CALIBER, FiLo, and QEV frameworks

Depositors mint USDai and stake into sUSDai to earn yield on their stablecoin deposits.Image

As we look into 2026, consumer expectations are rising fast.

Shoppers expect email to feel personal, relevant, and helpful.

They want brands that treat them like individuals, not one-size-fits-all subscribers.

And with inboxes more crowded than ever, anything generic gets ignored instantly.

Here are six ways to get more results from your eCommerce emails in 2026 👇
1. Use smarter upsells and cross-sells powered by AI

Upsells and cross-sells are still some of the highest converting emails you can send, but in 2026 the bar is higher. Shoppers expect recommendations that feel thoughtful, not random.

Most ESPs now use AI to analyze purchase behavior, browsing patterns, and customer preferences to recommend products that feel hand-picked.

How to level up these emails:

-Use AI recommendations. Let your ESP choose complementary products based on real behavior, not guesswork.

-Layer on strong “why” messaging. Tell customers how the add-on improves their experience.

-Avoid generic pairings. If someone buys premium cookware, they should not see the cheapest spatula in your store. Match quality with quality.

Cozy Earth’s product-focused layout is a great example of a clean, premium upsell experience that highlights complementary items without overwhelming the shopper.Image
2. Segment deeper and personalize with context

Segmentation has moved far beyond demographics. In 2026, brands that win are the ones segmenting based on customer intent, lifecycle stage, and predictive behavior.

Stores using behavioral and predictive segmentation now see significantly higher revenue per email than those relying on manual segments.

Segmentation ideas for 2026:

-Active customers vs. at-risk customers

-AOV-based segments

-Subscription-ready customers

-Buyers who use specific product categories

-Repeat purchasers who need replenishment reminders

-Customers who only respond to discounts vs. customers who buy full-price

Curlsmith does this well by sending a personalized replenishment reminder based on past purchase timing, complete with a prepped cart that removes all friction.Image

🧵 “Energia marina”

🧵 For the past two years, I’ve been reporting on how Israel uses archaeology as a tool of land theft and de facto annexation in the West Bank. Today, Ynet published an inside account from the IDF’s archaeology unit—the Israeli Civil Administration’s Staff Office for Archaeology—describing a “dramatic transformation” that has accelerated in recent years. “Today, we would never give up. Any place I want to excavate, I excavate.”Image
Image
Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, recently seen sporting a gold noose on his lapel, has no time for euphemisms: Israel’s archaeological project, he says, is about "uncovering our ownership of this land.” Like I wrote before, "an effective machine for converting archaeological discovery into territorial power." (2nd screenshot from my writing.)Image
Image
The doubled budget and new resources and authority are meant to affect "not only the future, but also the past."

Or, in my own words: The struggle over the ruins is also a struggle over "the history those ruins speak to, and what they say about who gets to live on this land.” Image

Si se quiere entender la disolución del Imperio español a inicios del XIX el punto de ignición no es Trafalgar, sino 1808. Será la invasión napoleónica la que rompa el mando del imperio y fuerce a la nación a gobernarse en guerra. Ahí empieza lo decisivo. Y esto merece un hilo: Image
Antes de 1808 España no era un cadáver decadente, al contrario: el comercio atlántico era muy activo, los circuitos fiscales y administrativos funcionaban, operaban los arsenales e ingenieros, y el saber científico y técnico era espléndido por todos los territorios del imperio. Image
Image
Otro error está en sobredimensionar la importancia de la Batalla de Trafalgar. Fue un choque durísimo, pero no un «apagón» naval. Además, también los ingleses recibieron mucha estopa, no sólo España. El saldo real no fue de «aniquilación», como quiere la historiografía inglesa. Image

No te engañaron POR ACCIDENTE. Te dieron una versión de la verdad tan ENSAYADA tan REPETIDA, que incluso la duda EMPEZÓ a sonar a negación. - Julian Assange

Un hilo que EXPONE LAS MENTIRAS orquestadas tras los acontecimientos MUNDIALES🧵

1. El avión fue real. El colapso desafió la física.Image
11-S — Un catalizador para el control

🔹 Las Torres Gemelas fueron diseñadas para resistir el impacto de un Boeing 707. Acero reforzado. Construidas para los peores escenarios. Sin embargo, dos aviones derribaron tres edificios, todos colapsando casi a velocidad de caída libre. El combustible para aviones no puede fundir el acero. Los incendios de oficinas no derriban rascacielos. La física no se sostuvo. Pero la narrativa sí.

🔹 El 11-S no fue solo un ataque terrorista, fue un punto de inflexión en el consentimiento fabricado. En una mañana, el miedo reescribió leyes, anuló derechos y justificó una guerra interminable. El verdadero colapso no fue solo acero y hormigón, sino discernimiento público.Image
2. La Luna no era la mentira. Las huellas sí.

🔹 En 1969, con menos potencia informática que un smartphone, la NASA llevó a cabo la misión más impecable de la historia de la humanidad: en directo por televisión, al primer intento, sin repeticiones. El alunizaje no fue solo un gran salto para la humanidad. Fue un paso en plena Guerra Fría: una muestra de dominio global con un aire de ciencia ficción.

🔹 Luego, las imágenes se perdieron. Los datos de telemetría se desvanecieron. Y la agencia que una vez puso al hombre en la Luna dijo que "perdieron la tecnología". Lo que comenzó como un triunfo de la ciencia se convirtió en una herramienta de propaganda. No solo se veía la historia, sino el acto inaugural de un teatro de control que duró décadas.Image

Instability
Quantum annealing coherence refers to the ability of a quantum annealer to maintain quantum properties (like superposition and tunneling) for long enough to perform computation, avoiding environmental noise (decoherence), achieved through very fast anneal times, improved qubit fabrication (like D-Wave's Advantage2), and techniques such as variational coherent quantum annealing, allowing for simulations of closed quantum systems and better optimization by keeping the system "closed" from thermal interactions. 

Key Concepts
•Coherent Regime: Operating where the quantum annealer doesn't exchange significant energy with its surroundings, behaving like a closed quantum system.
•Decoherence: The loss of quantum information due to environmental interaction (noise, heat), which limits traditional annealing.
•Fast Annealing: Shortening the annealing time to "outrun" decoherence, allowing observation of coherent quantum dynamics, like quantum phase transitions.

Cortisol isn't just a stress hormone.

It kills testosterone, fuels stubborn belly fat, and wrecks your sleep.

Here are 9 natural ways to lower your cortisol starting today🧵:

1. Cold exposure
Let’s start with a truth most people miss:

Cortisol isn’t the enemy.

It’s excessive, unregulated cortisol that wrecks your brain, sleep, and fat-burning capacity.

Fix that, and your body stops thinking it’s in a war zone.

Let’s get to work:
1. Cold exposure

Cold shocks the body... but in the right dose, it retrains cortisol regulation.

- Builds stress resilience
- Lowers baseline cortisol over time
- Spikes dopamine 250% (sustained)

Try 30sec-1min at the end of your shower 3-5x a week (not a frozen lake).

ERIC Y DE JONG LEJOS : Flick decidió suplir la baja de Pedri con Eric, De Jong y Fermín. Pero esta vez el Barça no jugó con doble base sino con doble media punta. El canterano jugó por delante de la defensa como único medio y el neerlandés alineado con Fermín.

Algo que respondió al plan táctico de partido y es que, ante el 4-4-2 del Villareal, el objetivo del Barça fue el de aislar a Eric como hombre libre en salida.

En la 1ª mitad, el canterano acabó como el segundo azulgrana con mayor participación (56 intervenciones)

En 1949, la Academia Sueca entregó el Premio Nobel de Medicina a Egas Moniz por inventar una operación milagrosa para curar la locura. La operación consistía en meter un picahielos por el ojo y remover el cerebro. Una carnicería aplaudida por el mundo. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
Moniz, un neurólogo portugués, inventó la "leucotomía" en 1935. Su teoría era realmente simple. Si los pensamientos obsesivos y la angustia están en el lóbulo frontal, cortemos las conexiones de esa zona y el paciente se "calmará". Image
Y se calmaban, sí, pero no se curaban, sino que se convertían en zombis, perdían la personalidad, la iniciativa y la capacidad de sentir emociones complejas. Pasaban de estar agitados a mirar la pared durante horas. Image

🧵The Silent Years: How 400 Years Set the Stage for Christ

Between the last words of Malachi & the opening line of Matthew lie 4 centuries of silence. No prophets. No Scripture. But everything that happens in between is essential for understanding Christmas & the New Testament👇🏼 Image
🧵 What “Silence” Really Means

The silent years do not mean God stopped acting. They mean God stopped sending prophets and adding Scripture. From roughly 430 BC to the early first century AD, no new revelation is given, but history is moving rapidly under divine providence. This time is often called the inter-testamental period.

⭐️ How this helps us understand the New Testament: When prophecy resumes in the Gospels, it carries the weight of centuries of anticipation.Image
🧵 The World the Old Testament Leaves Behind

When the Old Testament closes, Judah is under Persian rule. The temple has been rebuilt around 516 BC, but Israel remains politically weak. They are home, yet not free. Promises of restoration feel unfinished, creating a deep sense of waiting.

⭐️ How this helps us understand the New Testament: This unresolved tension explains why deliverance is a dominant theme in the Gospels.Image
