Me gusta el nuevo formato de la Champions, pero tiene bastante margen de mejora. El formato de Europa League ya me genera más dudas. Y para la Conference directamente no me gusta.
Hilo con algunos cambios que se podrían hacer para mejorarlos:
Una manera de mejorar la Champions sería añadir una Fase de Grupos a partido único en lugar de la ronda de Octavos. En casa del equipo que quedó por delante de la Fase de Liga. Es una manera de darle más ventaja para llegar a cuartos a aquellos que quedaron en el top8.
Además, tendríamos más partidos diferentes en rondas ya avanzadas. El Madrid tendría que jugárselo en el Metropolitano y el Emirates, el Bayern en Leverkusen y Milan. Para Liverpool no es lo mismo una eliminatoria a doble partido contra el PSG que 3 partidos en casa en un grupo.

The performance witnessed in the House chamber yesterday provided the definitive unmasking of the modern Left as a parasitic entity whose primary loyalty lies with the dissolution of the American state. For 108 minutes, the longest State of the Union address in recorded history, the President articulated a vision of national restoration that any sane individual would find celebratory. Yet, the Democratic caucus chose a path of seated defiance, a physical manifestation of their spiritual bankruptcy. Every single Democrat who remained seated is a moral coward who finds the survival of the Republic an intolerable personal insult.
The most transparent moment of this betrayal occurred when the President asked if the first duty of government is to protect American citizens over illegal aliens. The silence from the Democratic side was a confession of treason. They sat while the nation celebrated the removal of nearly 3 million illegal aliens and a record 56% drop in the flow of deadly fentanyl into our communities. These professional partisans view our borders as mere suggestions and our sovereignty as an obstacle to their globalist replacement agenda. Their refusal to stand for the protection of their own neighbors proves they are agents for foreign interests and narco-cartels.
The statistics of this Golden Age are undeniable and evidently terrifying to the Left. We have witnessed the single largest decline in the murder rate in recorded history, reaching levels not seen in over 125 years. We have lifted a record 2.4 million Americans off food stamps in a single year. The Democrats stayed seated during these announcements because they despise success that renders their dependency model obsolete. They are high-priests of scarcity who fear a prosperous, independent citizenry. Every single Democrat is an accomplice to the managed decline of the previous era, and their current petulance is the dying gasp of a failed ideology.
The lack of basic human decency was on full display as the caucus refused to honor the victims and heroes of this nation. They remained seated while the parents of Sarah Beckstrom, a National Guard specialist killed in the line of duty, were recognized. They showed the same cold indifference toward Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, a Purple Heart recipient. These are individuals who would rather attend a counter-protest hosted by radical activists on the National Mall than stand for the defenders of our freedom. This is a fundamental rejection of the American spirit. Even the bipartisan standing ovation for the gold-medal winning hockey team couldn't mask the deep-seated resentment these subversives feel toward any form of American excellence.
We saw the performative hysterics of individuals like Al Green, who was rightly ejected for the second year in a row after attempting to derail the address with a scripted protest. The Democratic leadership has encouraged this descent into infantile behavior, with Hakeem Jeffries instructing his caucus to adopt a posture of "silent defiance". This is the behavior of people who have lost the argument and can only resort to petulant theater. They sat while the President honored Alejandra Gonzales, whose uncle was a political prisoner of the Maduro regime, proving their selective empathy only extends to those who serve their radical narrative.
The era of their curated deception is over. We will steamroll these subversives until their rot is finally purged from our institutions. We are reclaiming our sovereignty and building a future that has no room for the hollow, anti-American sentiment of the current Democratic party. They should be ashamed of themselves for choosing foreign invaders and bureaucratic waste over the hard-working citizens of this Republic. We are winning at a scale that leaves them paralyzed and irrelevant. Total victory is the only acceptable metric, and the seated cowardice of the Left is merely a roadmap for their upcoming political annihilation.

Saggezza Eterna and The material I write on this page, specifically about politics and power dynamics, is inspired by a book written in the 15th century called "The Prince" by a Florentine Philosopher named Niccolò Machiavelli.
Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Prince" was banned by the Vatican in 1559 because its unflinching portrayal of pragmatic and often ruthless political strategies held a mirror to the hypocrisy of rulers, including Church leaders, exposing how power was truly wielded in contrast to professed ideals. I highly recommend that anyone wishing to understand the true nature of politics and power dynamics read the book cover to cover. If you want to completely and utterly destroy any argument and increase your political savviness, "The Prince" will not disappoint. The attached link presents a translation from Italian into English that preserves the integrity of the book as it was originally written. amazon.com/dp/B0GF1YG276
Nashville, Tennessee, 1930.
Vivien Thomas was born into the Jim Crow South. He was Black in a world that told him what he could and could not become.
He wanted to be a doctor.
He worked as a carpenter and saved every dollar to attend the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial College. He planned to go to medical school.
Then the Great Depression hit.
The bank where he kept his savings collapsed. His money was gone. So were his plans.
At 19, Vivien took a job at Vanderbilt University Hospital. He earned 12 dollars a week as a laboratory assistant. He worked in the lab of Dr. Alfred Blalock.
He was expected to clean, care for animals, and stay quiet.
Instead, he watched.
He listened.
He asked smart questions.
He understood what the experiments were trying to do.
Dr. Blalock noticed. He began teaching Vivien surgical skills.
Vivien had never been to medical school. He had no degree. But he had sharp eyes, a strong memory, and steady hands. Soon, he was performing complex surgeries on lab animals. His stitching was careful and exact. His knowledge of anatomy was deep.
By 1933, he was no longer just an assistant in practice. He was Blalock’s research partner. But officially, he was still paid and treated far below his real role.
In 1941, Dr. Blalock moved to Johns Hopkins Hospital to become Chief of Surgery. He agreed to go only if Vivien came with him. The hospital allowed it. But they gave Vivien a lower-status technical title.
Then came their biggest challenge.
Babies were dying from a heart defect called ‘tetralogy of Fallot’. People called it ‘Blue Baby Syndrome’. The babies’ skin turned blue because their bodies were not getting enough oxygen. Most did not live long.
Dr. Helen Taussig asked if a surgery could increase blood flow to the lungs.
Blalock turned to Vivien.
“Can you figure this out?”
Vivien went to work.
For months, he practiced on dogs. He tried again and again. He had to create new methods. He had to design tools. No one had ever done this before.
Finally, he developed a way to connect the subclavian artery to the pulmonary artery. The new path lets more blood reach the lungs.
It was bold.
It was risky.
It had never been tried on a human.
On November 29, 1944, they operated on a baby girl named Eileen Saxon. She was 15 months old and weighed only nine pounds. She was dying.
Dr. Blalock performed the surgery. Vivien stood behind him on a step stool. He quietly guided every move.
“Deeper.”
“A little to the left.”
“Use smaller sutures there.”
Blalock held the tools. Vivien directed the operation.
After four and a half hours, it was over. Eileen’s blue lips turned pink. Her fingers turned pink. Oxygen was finally reaching her body.
The surgery worked.
The procedure became known as the Blalock-Taussig Shunt. It changed medicine. It saved thousands of children. It helped create the field of pediatric heart surgery.
Dr. Blalock became famous.
Vivien did not.
For 22 years, Vivien trained surgical residents at Johns Hopkins. Many of them became leaders in heart surgery. They learned their skills from him.
But he was not called Doctor. He was not listed as faculty. He ate with the maintenance staff.
His name appeared on no papers.
In 1971, after four decades of work, Johns Hopkins promoted him to Instructor of Surgery. Not Professor. Instructor.
By then, the surgeons he had trained knew the truth.
In 1976, the hospital honored him with a portrait. It was placed beside Blalock’s. At the ceremony, former students stood and applauded. Some cried.
They knew who had taught them. They knew who had built the foundation.
That same year, Johns Hopkins awarded him an honorary doctorate. At last, he was officially Dr. Vivien Thomas.
He was 66 years old.
He had been doing the work of a surgeon for 46 years.
Dr. Vivien Thomas died in 1985 at age 75.
In 2004, HBO released a film about his life called Something the Lord Made.
Today, students study his work. Scholarships carry his name. The surgery he created is still saving lives more than 80 years later.
For most of his career, he was paid and treated far below his true ability.
He stood on a step stool so others could stand in the spotlight.
He kept working.
He kept teaching.
He kept saving lives.
They called him a janitor.
History calls him a hero.
Micron’s $100B megafab in NY is at risk of delay due to just 6 “concerned citizens” and their frivolous lawsuit. (1/10) 🧵
The project has already taken an absurd 1200 days between announcement and groundbreaking. Competitors overseas who began at the same time now have built and working fabs. (2/10)
Micron spent 612 days on the environmental impact study, including a 45 day public input period. Yet hours before groundbreaking, they were hit with a lawsuit calling the process “unnecessarily rushed.” (3/10)
🧵🎯Peter Thiel, Palantir und Nicole Junkermann.
Und die auch hier leider nicht beantwortete Frage, warum wir das zulassen.
Operation „Gläserner Bürger“: Die diskrete Übernahme durch das Epstein-Netzwerk
Nicole Junkermann: Deutsche Gräfin, Ex-Model und Milliardärin. Sie ist die diskrete Architektin unserer totalen Überwachung.
Mit 3.475 Nennungen in den Epstein-Akten (Stand 03.01.2024) und E-Mails, in denen sie den Pädophilen „Baby“ nannte, kaufte sie sich über NJF Holdings in Ihre Privatsphäre ein. Gemeinsam mit Peter Thiel (Palantir) kontrolliert sie über Carbyne polizeiliche Notrufe und beim NHS unserer DNA.
Ein Dossier über Macht.
1/25
Der „Lolita Express“ war laut Flugprotokollen bereits am 15.11.2002 Junkermanns Transportmittel.
Die Verbindung endete nicht mit Epsteins erster Haft. Während sie am 12.08.2019 offiziell als Investorin für Sicherheitstechnologie auftrat, zeigten E-Mails an seine Anwälte ihre wahre Loyalität.
2/25 Die Hoffnung, Me-Too sei nur eine „Welle“, entlarvt ein Weltbild, das Macht über Integrität stellt. Wer solche Kontakte pflegt, sollte keine staatlichen Infrastrukturen beraten dürfen.
"Mehr Milei wagen" war das Motto neoliberaler Ökonomen und Journalisten. Neue Zahlen zeigen allerdings, wie katastrophal die Entwicklung ist. Doch vllt geht es gar nicht um Wirtschaft, denn Milei zerlegt gerade massiv die Rechte der Arbeiternehmer 👇/🧵 surplusmagazin.de/milei-argentin…
Kurz zur realwirtschaftlichen Lage - die Industrieproduktion ist voll auf Stagnationskurs auf niedrigem Niveau. Da sie auf real erhobenen Produktionsmengen statt auf Schätzungen basiert, ist sie der härteste Indikator für die tatsächliche wirtschaftl Entwicklung. Milei versagt.

#SupremeCourt to hear today the suo motu case taken over the NCERT Class 8 text book chapter on "corruption in judiciary."
A bench comprising CJI Surya Kant, Justice J Bagchi & Justice Pancholi will hear the matter.
After CJI expressed displeasure, #NCERT withdrew the book.
Hearing in #NCERT textbook suo motu case begins
Sr Advs Kapil Sibal, Dr AM Singhvi and SG Tushar Mehta appear
SG: At the outset, we tender unconditional apology...Secretary, School Education is here
CJI: There is not a single word of apology in their notice...someone sent to me...the manner in which this Director has attempted to compound...I asked Secretary General to find out whether such publication infact took place...very responsible newspaper had published, still...there's deep-rooted conspiracy!
#SupremeCourt
SG says persons responsible will not be associated further in such work
CJI: That's very little consequence. They fired gunshot, judiciary is bleeding today
Sr Adv Vikas Singh: I saw a podcast yesterday, some former Director is defending
CJI: It's available in market, I also got a copy from sources
SG: 32 books went in market, they are being withdrawn. Entire chapter would be revisited by a team. There's another part about pendency, title is 'justice delayed is justice denied'...we can't teach that justice is denied.
The #GauhatiHighCourt will shortly hear a PIL seeking directions to restrain Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) from making alleged hate speeches against the minority communities in the state.
The PIL filed by Assamese scholar Dr Hiren Gohain and two others seeks directions to restrain CM Sarma from making alleged hate speeches and inciting civilians to take the law into their own hands against minority communities.
@himantabiswa #GauhatiHighCourt
The PIL plea also prays for the following reliefs:
* An independent SIT probe into alleged offences under S. 196, 197 & 353 BNS
* A commission chaired by a former HC Judge to monitor the SIT investigation.
* A declaration that the CM violated his constitutional oath of office.
Tribunals are your (Centre) creation, and a head ache for you(Centre), and a liability for us. They are a liability for us because of the kind of orders they pass. They are in a no-man's land, accountable to none : CJI Surya Kant.
#SupremeCourt
Technical members of one important Tribunal are not writing a single judgment, they are insisting that judicial members write the judgment. Some technical members are outsourcing the writing judgments, something unheard of in judiciary. WHAT A MESS WE HAVE CREATED in the name of Tribunals : CJI
OpenAI researchers moved beyond it to something called 'Reasoning Scaffolds.'
It forces structured thinking instead of shallow chains.
Works across every major LLM.
Here’s the format you can copy now:
First, why "think step by step" fails.
It tells the model to think.
It doesn't tell the model how to think.
You get surface-level reasoning dressed up as depth.
Confident-sounding outputs with zero structural logic underneath.
Reasoning Scaffolds fix this by forcing the model through a locked sequence before it answers.
Not "think step by step."
But:
→ Decompose the problem
→ Identify what's known vs. unknown
→ Map dependencies between sub-problems
→ Solve bottom-up
→ Verify against the original question
Swedish TV4 is reporting on "an imminent serious threat to the power grid in all Nordic countries", "links to foreign powers are being investigated", and "there is an international response".
Various Swedish government agencies are referring questions from TV4 to FRA, the [Swedish] National Defence Radio Establishment, their SIGINT agency, so this smells of something cyber.
Norwegian media is running the TV4 information but I have not seen any statements or comments from any Norwegian government entity yet.
