Nacho Montes de Oca claimed that Elon Musk had used Starlink for political purposes to pressure the Ukrainian government and that it was not the first time he, according to him, had aided Vladimir Putin or followed Donald Trump's orders at a critical moment. He stated that the decision could commercially harm SpaceX by exposing it to geopolitical risks similar to those that, in his opinion, contributed to the international ban on Huawei. Montes de Oca wrote that the intermittent use of critical technological infrastructure as a tool of political or military pressure could lead Western governments to accelerate the development of sovereign networks. He also pointed out that the interruption would have forced the cancellation or failure of several Ukrainian drone missions, reduced the commercial appeal of Starlink for defense customers, and put contracts with the Pentagon and the trust of European partners at risk. Among them, he mentioned Poland, which, he indicated, financed about 50 million dollars annually in terminals for Ukraine. The author estimated the global market for military communications and satellites in 2026 to be 22.03 billion dollars, if only encrypted tactical communication services were counted. He warned that defense buyers could consider their reliance on a private provider financially risky. In his background review, Montes de Oca stated that in September 2002 Ukraine requested to activate Starlink in the region of Sevastopol, in occupied Crimea, to guide maritime drones against the Russian Black Sea fleet, but Musk rejected the request. He added that on September 30 of that year, SpaceX interrupted the signal for several hours—and, in some areas, days—in the regions of Kherson and Donetsk during a Ukrainian counteroffensive, which, he wrote, left drones disconnected and temporarily halted military operations. Montes de Oca also said that the following month Musk threatened to stop providing the service because he could not finance it indefinitely and reversed the decision days later, before the Pentagon formally took over the contracts and Poland covered part of the costs. Additionally, he noted that in February 2023, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell confirmed that the company had technically limited the use of Starlink in Ukrainian attack drones and asserted that those restrictions had been tightened. Finally, he stated that Airbus was leading the European response and that, with 5.3 billion euros from the European military space program, it was designing and building low-orbit platforms for national and sovereign satellite networks. #ElonMusk #Starlink #Ucrania (translated)

Effective altruism, an ethical doctrine that emerged in Oxford, has gained political and social influence by involving young millionaires in the fight against the dangers of artificial intelligence, although it has also faced criticisms that consider it an antidemocratic and strange movement. #AltruismoEficaz #InteligenciaArtificial #ÉticaSociológica (translated)

The author stated that the PP leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso would publish her first book with the Planeta Group, which he described as the owner of Antena 3, La Sexta, La Razón, and Onda Cero.

Goldegodin said that he did not complain, as he believed that the interest in Cholo reflected his relevance, although he found the harassment against him striking. He added that he was the only coach whose salary the public knew —or a figure that, as he wrote, they had invented— and criticized that there were investigations into whether he owned apartments while other millionaire coaches could also have them. #Cholo #fútbol #entrenadores (translated)

The author argued that patriots were more bothered by adult women having hair in their armpits than by the fact that some people were left homeless while a group of millionaires grew rich from their misery. With an ironic tone, she added that they were always worried about the real problems of the people. #Feminismo #JusticiaSocial #Desigualdad (translated)

Aldo G-P criticized those who, as he wrote, preferred to see 22 millionaires waiting for the rain to stop and their cars' software to reboot rather than follow a rally championship that was decided two curves from the finish line, in the last stretch of the last rally. He added that he had chosen "the good side of history." https://t.co/ULYG0HFdeq #Rally #Deportes #Autos (translated)

The author argued that the Cup was Millonarios' best opportunity to reach a final this year and that the team had had a favorable path. He stated that for three years the club had accumulated poor decisions and that the squad was exhausted from losing. He also questioned the coach and said he should resign or be dismissed. He pointed out that this year Millonarios had been eliminated by Alianza, O’Higgins, and Barranquilla, and he described those results as unacceptable. He added that what happened should not go without consequences or be treated as if nothing had happened. He called for the departure of the coach and several people from the club he criticized, led by Quintero. #Millonarios #FútbolColombiano #Copa (translated)

Cristian Pinzón labeled Millonarios' elimination from the Copa Colombia against the last team on the relegation table as embarrassing. Although he described the refereeing as vulgar, he said that did not justify the ridiculousness. #Millonarios #CopaColombia #FútbolColombiano (translated)

The author stated that Alberto Gamero should leave Millonarios that same night if he respected the club and claimed that his performance had been unacceptable. He also requested that the club terminate Carlos Darwin Quintero's contract that night. #Millonarios #FútbolColombiano #Deportes (translated)

Naninho stated that the Sports Law prevented sanctioning Barcelona for the payments to Negreira, as very serious infractions expired after three years. Citing information from OKDIARIO, he noted that Albert Soler, whom he described as a historical figure of the PSC, was appointed general director of the Higher Sports Council in May 2021, after leaving a position at Barcelona that he held since 2014 under Bartomeu's presidency. According to the information shared by Naninho, Soler's main task at the CSD was to update the Sports Law, in effect since 1990. The reform extended the statute of limitations for minor infractions from one to six months and for serious ones from one to two years, but maintained the three-year deadline for very serious infractions, a category that, according to the publication, affected both Barcelona and Soler himself due to the payments to Negreira. #Deporte #Barcelona #LeyDelDeporte (translated)

Jorch, yesterday the biggest corrupt one, your enemy's father, Andy, came out to defend his son against the accusations that the United States is making against his entire family for fuel theft and their alleged alliances with terrorist cartels. You know there is a crisis in Tabasco; they should have told you, just as they told me. The PEJE is very angry and desperate, that's why he went out to shift blame and tell senseless lies without any shame. The father of the most corrupt man in the country pretends to tell us that he has ended corruption. There is not much more to say, except that it is somewhat pitiful to see a poor old corrupt man still betting on spewing lies, believing that this will save him. He knows that there are audios, videos, and photographs of the meetings they had with their sources of funding. He can only pretend that everything is fine while the truth tightens and catches up with him. We all know that he only came out to distract us from the scandals that are piling up. So, once again, Amílcar, the opportunity to rescue your family and give them a peaceful life is still open. Tell us in front of the cameras everything you want to say. Do it for your children, for your family, and for the millions of Mexicans that you and the PEJE's children affected with everything you stole. In any case, you all know how this will end. Andy and his dad do not respect loyalties; they are only loyal to money; they are criminals and corruptors. Besides, they already have your replacement here, and he will also look for you, though I don’t think it’s to interview you. Think about it. I trust you decide to go from villain to hero and tell us what you know. Follow the example of one of the biggest drug traffickers this country has had, who, through a letter, declared the truth about what happened with CUÉN. Andy and his family only use you to get rich. While they laugh and dine like millionaires in Condesa, you are hiding like a rat. What do you think? Let me know and I’ll send cameras to where you are. #Corrupción #México #Huachicol (translated)
