En 2008, dos argentinos sin presupuesto hicieron un cortometraje de animación de 6 minutos. Sin diálogos. Sin palabras. Solo imágenes pintadas a mano con acuarela. Se llama "El Empleo". Y se convirtió en el cortometraje de animación más premiado internacionalmente de ese año. 106 premios internacionales. ¿Qué muestra? Un hombre que se despierta. Se viste. Sale a trabajar. Pero en este mundo, las personas no usan objetos. Las personas SON los objetos. La lámpara es una persona. La silla es una persona. El felpudo es una persona. Y el protagonista los usa sin pestañear. Hasta que llega a su trabajo. Y descubre que él también es un objeto para alguien más. El corto no critica el capitalismo con pancartas. Lo muestra. En silencio. Con humor negro. Con una brutalidad tan cotidiana que duele. Sus creadores son Santiago "Bou" Grasso y Patricio Plaza, dos animadores independientes argentinos que tardaron años en hacerse conocidos fuera de su país. Hoy su obra se estudia en universidades de todo el mundo. La pregunta que deja el corto no tiene respuesta fácil: ¿Tú usas a la gente para llegar a algún sitio? ¿O tú eres el felpudo de alguien? Busca "The Employment" en YouTube. Son 6 minutos que no vas a olvidar.

@d_foubert Neither Turkiye nor Greece will ever start a war. Why would you even place such a question? We have been neighbors long enough, to know better than this. Besides, apart from bickering, we actually like each other.

If Turkey 🇹🇷 and Greece 🇬🇷 start a war, who do you support?

I am in total awe of antibiotics every time I prescribe them for a serious condition. I see people all the time, literally at death’s door with sepsis, getting admitted to hospital. Within 24 hours they are up and talking and feeling better after being loaded with targeted intravenous antibiotics (and of course fluids). We are damn lucky to be living today because for most human history a simple bacterial infection would kill people. In my opinion, antibiotics have been the biggest gamechanger for humanity in the last hundred years. We must never take these miracle drugs for granted.

Σιχαίνομαι πραγματικά όταν ακούω τον Κουφοντίνα να μιλάει για το δικό τους «αξιακό σύστημα», όπως το ονόμασε Οι δολοφόνοι, που μελετημένα & προσχεδιασμένα αφαιρούσαν για χρόνια ανθρώπινες ζωές,είχαν «αξιακό σύστημα» & με αυτό το «αξιακό σύστημα» ήταν δήθεν απέναντι στο «σύστημα»

Hello Australia, this is your moment. We need your support. Iran’s women’s football team refused to sing the regime’s anthem right after the killing of Ali Khamenei. State TV called them “war-time traitors.” Now they’re on a bus back to Iran, flashing the SOS hand signal through the window. I call on Australian government to them. Don’t send them back to danger. Please give them protection.

all of my life, because I grew up in church-and as a survivor of childhood SA, I have been screaming at the top of my lungs for people to not take their children to church. The people you find in church are not there because they’re good people. The people who go to church are the people who are seeking forgiveness for something. They’re seeking forgiveness for something so bad that they need a Savior. Think about that before you leave your kids with them. Church is not where we go to be good, it’s where we go to be forgiven. When you look around the room, you shouldn’t be seeing good people, you should be seeing forgiven people. That doesn’t mean that they’re good. Don’t take your children to church. and if you do, don’t ever let them leave your side. Ever.

Κρίμα τα παιδιά. Τσάμπα πήγαν. Ευτυχώς δεν πήραν και κανέναν κακομοίρη από το άλλο ρεύμα. Ας πούμε όμως και κάτι πέραν αυτού: 1) Μην οδηγείτε σαν πίθηκοι. 2) Μην ρουφάτε ό,τι υπάρχει και μετά πιάνετε τιμόνι. 3) Να τηρείτε τον ΚΟΚ. 4) Καλύτερα φλώροι στον δρόμο παρά μάγκες στα φέρετρα. 5) Αν έχεις σκεφτεί έστω και μια στιγμή μέσα στην παροδική ζωούλα σου ότι έχεις τα αντανακλαστικά να ανταπεξέλθεις σε κατάσταση που τα δέκατα του δευτερολέπτου είναι θανατηφόρα (κι ακόμα χειρότερα όταν είσαι τάπα) πάνε πέσε από την ταράτσα τώρα και μην καταναλώνεις το οξυγόνο μας. ΜΟΝΟ ΠΑΟΚ ΡΕ

Do you remember before the internet, that people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information? Yeah, it wasn't that.

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram. 100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show. I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell. You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures. Here is the actual science of what you are watching: 1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk. 2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time. 3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate. 4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared. 5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed. Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit. They didn't die because of Instagram. They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.
