๐ฃ๏ธ@ValeCSU, exclusiva: โHay mucha gente que no nos creรญa. Hemos eliminado muchas preocupaciones sobre el acuerdo entre Mercosur y Uniรณn Europea. A partir del 1 de mayo, los aranceles se aplicarรกn de manera automรกtica. Sobre los estรกndares sanitarios que hay que cumplir hoy, son los mismos que tendremos que cumplir a partir del 1 de mayoโ.

@DonaBastarda Las mรกs sinceras condolencias para la familia y los amigos de Agustรญn y para toda la enorme comunidad murguera. A seguir cantando que es el mejor homenaje..๐๐๐๐
Espaรฑol

Murga Doรฑa Bastarda despide, con profundo dolor, a uno de sus mรกximos exponentes, Agustรญn Rรญos.
Agus fue fundador de esta murga. Con una enorme calidad artรญstica, pero por sobre todas las cosas, humana, logrรณ que su familia sea parte imprescindible de esta Familia Bastarda. Desde el 2018 a la fecha, Agustรญn estuvo presente en cada momento que hizo a esta murga lo que es hoy por hoy.
A su paso, no solo perdemos a un gran artista, perdemos un hermano, un amigo.
A sus padres, a sus hermanos, a sus sobrinos y tรญas, a los miles de amigos que Agustรญn cosechรณ y arrimรณ a la murga en tantos aรฑos de Carnaval, a su querida Tripulaciรณn, a todas las murgas jรณvenes de las que รฉl participรณ, a sus seres queridos y allegados, les acompaรฑamos en este difรญcil momento y los abrazamos fuertemente. Saben que acรก tambiรฉn tienen una familia.
Gracias por tantas risas compartidas, Agustรญn. Que en paz descanses, Carita.
Tu Doรฑa Bastarda.

@raghavv_01 Do you seriously think that we deserves to be in the semis?? We didnโt even play man!!! I donโt say we hasnโt been a great player but now is fading faster and faster. He and his fans should swallow it with more dignity

@Black_Wayfarer @BarclayCard18 Only way he could win a major again
English

@DjokovicFan_ @DjokerNole way to semis: Pedro Martinez, 71, Maestrelli, 141. Van de Zandschulp, 75. Mensik, W.O. Mussetti, retired

@RomanKosek3 @TheTennisLetter As usual when things go a way he doesnโt feel comfortable with, trying to cool down the match and distract his opponent โฆ. Fortunately there are some umpires that donโt fall into his game
English

This is exactly why Djokovic will never be universally respected or seen as a true legend. Not because of his results โ those are insane โ but because of moments like this. All it took was: โYouโre right. My bad. Sorry.โ
Instead we get an argument about a hat and โgentleman behavior.โ Greatness shows in small moments too, not just in trophies. ๐พ
English

Novak Djokovic had some words with the umpire during his match against Lorenzo Musetti at the Australian Open.
He couldnโt find his hat during the changeoverโฆ the umpire gave him a time violation warning.
Novak: โI was looking for my cap. I was changing. You couldโve given me a heads up, as a gentleman and someone whoโs been in sport for a couple decadesโฆ Mid first set, first time I go over and you give me a warning. You think thatโs fair? Iโm not saying itโs against the rules, because I went over. But you couldโve given me a heads up right? You couldโve told me โHey Novak, hurry up.โ Right?โ

English

@mussarat_zia @DjokovicFan_ Absolutely, youโre the chaser. Youโve reached the semis only because you didnโt play against any top 20 until Mussetti who would have beaten you in straight sets shouldnโt he had had to retire. So, yes, you were somebody, no discussion about it. But now, youโre the chaser
English

Sir Novak ate the reporter and left no crumbs. Happy he gave the reporter a piece of his mind. Undermining someone who has won 24 Grand Slams, by describing him as only a 'chaser' is both disrespectful & an affront to the genius of Djokovic. His editor needs to serve him a memo, probably fire him.

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.
Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.
One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.
Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.
Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"
"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."
He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."
The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."
Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.
But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,
"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."
So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.
Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."
Let this story reach more hearts....
