Meme del carguero Ever Given atascado en el Canal de Suez con la excavadora intentando liberarlo. En el carguero pone «bluesky convirtiéndose en twitter» y en la excavadora, «la aldeíta».

In a secret Paris cavern, the real underground cinema

Police in Paris have discovered a fully equipped cinema-cum-restaurant in a large and previously uncharted cavern underneath the capital's chic 16th arrondissement.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

Season 11 kicks off with a look at the Parthenon Sculptures aka the Elgin Marbles. The debate around these controversial museum objects is riddled with historical myths! Did Lord Elgin "save" these works of art or is that fake history?

Ayer mismo estuve escuchando una cosa sobre los mármoles del Partenón. James Knowles, en 1890, básicamente dijo (no irónicamente) que empiezas por devolver esculturas y acabas reconociendo que el Imperio Británico no tiene derecho a poseer colonias.

The image is a humorous meme titled "Every Graph About the US." It depicts a simplistic graph with two intersecting lines.

- The horizontal axis is labeled "Some" on the left and "metric" on the right.
- The vertical dotted line in the middle is labeled "Ronald Reagan."
- The green line, labeled "Good thing," starts high on the left and trends downward as it moves right.
- The red line, labeled "Bad thing," starts low on the left and trends upward as it moves right.
- The lines intersect at the "Ronald Reagan" point

"The most common type of funding is employment as a doctoral research fellow". O sea, que lo normal es que el departamento te contrate y así te admiten en el programa.

Vista en #Sitges2025 una de las grandes cintas surcoreanas de 2025. Una explosiva mezcla de géneros donde thriller, acción, drama y terror bañados por una gotas de humor como solo los coreanos saben hacerlo. Una atípica y sangrienta historia de venganza que nos recuerda que otro cine es posible

A mí me da la sensación de que dice que tiene que existir la posibilidad de hacer ese trabajo independiente de 2.5 años, no que tengas que llevarlo hecho
