Welcome, Benvinguts & Bienvenidos to all new followers. I am an ex-Londoner who primarily uses this account to practice Spanish and Catalan + to talk about music and life with other middle-aged nerds. I am interested in Barcelona's social history, scenes, subcultures etc

Ya no hay secuestros de aviones como antes. En aquella época no era nada extraño volver del colegio y pensar “a ver donde aterriza el Abu Nidal en primetime”

El boletin de esta semana va como un avión.

Recuperamos la novela de Le Tellier del avión de Air France que aterriza 2 veces en NY en el lapso de 4 meses con la misma tripulación y los mismos pasajeros.

También nos preguntamos por los secuestros aéreos después de flipar con el docu de Grimonprez.

I ara aquí ve el detall, al 1981, algú va proposar fer-ne un de millor de Blanes a Portbou per la costa.. fins i tot varen fer els plànols detall de l'estació de Platja d'Aro

Polanski for me epitomises what is wrong with woolly modern left politics. It’s all ‘vibes’ and avoiding eggshells, rhetoric over hard numbers + naively thinking you can somehow negotiate with the world’s psychopaths

Conmoción en Londres por la muerte de Michael Cook. Un pionero inglés en la escena rave de LA y gran aficionado de la contracultura skate y psicodélica. Un tipo listo, rebelde, sarcástico, divertido. Sabía todo de música. Además, un gran cocinero de tacos RIP Cookie

How times have changed since Tsarist times when Paris and Moscow enjoyed an entente cordiale, before 400,000 'White Russians' fled to France post-revolution

French government, intelligence, and military officials say Russia is increasingly targeting France with cyberattacks, disinformation, and other destabilization efforts, the same tactics used against other countries supporting Ukraine.

Esta señora representa a ese sector de la sociedad que cree que con el traductor automático ya no hacemos falta los traductores humanos.

Y hace este pedazo de ridículo en redes.
Isabel Díaz Ayuso en Twitter publica: “Toda la prensa internacional recoge el fallo del Supremo porque no se concibe en una democracia libre utilizar los medios del Estado para hacer política delinquiendo, y todo a costa de un particular. En ese banquillo, según Sánchez, se sentaba él mismo. Hoy el mundo sabe lo que está pasando en España.” La traducción automática del tweet anterior de Ayuso que ella misma ha colgado en la red mala: “All the international press picks up the ruling of the Supreme Court because it is not conceived in a free democracy to use the means of the State to make criminal politics, and all at the expense of an individual. On that bench, according to Sánchez, he sat himself. Today the world knows what is happening in Spain.”

¿Hay alguna manera de prevenir la traducción automática? p.ej. no me interesa escuchar Alonso y Pedrerol (Flexicar) en un inglés totalmente sintetizado. En YouTube, solo te dejan elegir un idioma preferido en los ajustes pero no la VO??
