The fact that Cuba hadn’t collapsed under a year long oil blockade is a testament to the Cuban communist party and the Cuban people’s ingenuity
Paso por aquí para recordarle al mundo que Cuba se las arregla para vivir sin petróleo desde hace 11 meses, casi un año. Que prueben en Miami una semana sin gasolina, con más de 20 horas de apagón, sin agua, con servicios esenciales al límite; a ver cuánto les dura la valentía. En Cuba la gente lo aguanta todos los días y el mundo, muy tranquilo, mirando para otro lado.

We should all know that #TransRightsAreHumanRights . As someone who's sister and older cousin is trans, it grosses me out when people say "trans people aren't [identified gender]" or "trans people will grow out of it". It's the year 2024, time to get things right.

The best proof you're going to get that the press is playing a very dubious role in the Jensen Huang saga.
How can you say someone's head "must roll" on the strength of an allegation - that Alice Huang is a spy - that nobody has backed with a single piece of public evidence and which is almost certainly false (see teapawt.net/RnaudBertrand/status/2…)?
It's absolutely crazy when you think about it: journalists simultaneously accuse him of something they themselves admit they have not verified - only been told about by anonymous US intelligence officials - yet demand he pays for it with his job. Especially ironic in the case of The Economist which named Jensen as their best CEO of the year 2023 (economist.com/business/2023/…).
As I wrote on day 1 (teapawt.net/RnaudBertrand/status/2…) the only people in this story we can actually watch - in real time - acting as intelligence assets are journalists. Exactly the same mechanism as Iraq's WMD story: all based on unverified claims by US intelligence yet with the media more than happy to act as their megaphone and attack dogs. We don't learn...
Jensen Huang must go
We argue in @TheEconomist that his position is untenable
"Like many powerful leaders, he came to believe that he was too important for the normal rules to apply to him."
But he is not the only one. Howard Lutnick has failed to stem the flow of chips to China. More heads should roll

PM @gastonbrowne: "We had decided to support Cuba on [the UN] resolution and changed our position because we had a call from @StateDept advising us that they’re making progress in [visa] negotiations & if we supported Cuba, it'd undermine the negotiations" caribbeannationalweekly.com/…
I am pro immigration moratorium if it means less motorized landscaping in this country #autisticchud
