  9. Parte relevante que me interesa.

    Cualquier intento de excluir del #LESPRE a una especie preexistente (como el #lobo) debe guiarse por las instrucciones que se establecen en el artículo 6 del Real Decreto Esto 139/2011, lo que incluye, como requisito, acompañar la solicitud con un informe justificativo de carácter científico, y adjuntar a este todas las referencias científicas empleadas para su elaboración.
    La memoria justificativa elaborada ha de ser, entonces, evaluada por el Comité de Flora y Fauna Silvestres, dependiente del #Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, Medio Rural y Marino, y bajo el asesoramiento de un comité científico formado por expertos de reconocido prestigio.
    Esta entidad será la que envíe a la Dirección General de Medio Natural y Política Forestal del Ministerio la conclusión final, y esta Dirección General toma la decisión definitiva.
    Es decir. Que si las derechas españolas quieren desproteger al lobo, sacándolo del #LESPRE, tendrán que currárselo un poco…

    "Buenas tardes soy una joven de Villa de Vallecas, que ha puesto una reclamación al Ayuntamiento y la junta de este distrito, ya que, en el parque de las Cataratas (Navamures), al final de la calle Puerto Porzuna (Ver en Google Maps: goo.gl/maps/YwPfJnYiudjvnav28), hay un recorrido que desde que es de noche, no se ve absolutamente nada, porque no hay ningún tipo de iluminación.

    Yo ya tuve un susto... Es una zona peligrosa, ya que personas con malas intenciones pueden atentar contra la seguridad ciudadana.

    Espero que me responda el Ayuntamiento y se dote a este parque de la iluminación necesaria. De todas maneras, cuantas más reclamaciones haya, mayor será la brevedad de esa respuesta, por eso me pongo en contacto con vosotros.

    Os adjunto fotografías de las 7:23 y 8:04 para que podáis observar que no se ve absolutamente nada."

  18. Marvelous Market: Best New Comics April 8

    High Literature, Godzilla, and High Literature With Godzilla

    GODZILLA’S MONSTERPIECE THEATRE was one of my favorite comics last year. We’re getting a series of one-shots with a similar concept, starting this week.

    Hello and welcome to the Marvelous Market, my weekly guide for anyone interested in going to a comic book store today. In addition to a full list of new # 1s and new volume 1s, I’ll be giving you my top 4 recommendations in 4 categories. Like Houston legend Mike Jones rapped, “We’re still tippin’ on four-fours.” I’m going to give you the top four new comics, top four ongoing comics, the top four graphic novels, and the top 4 preorders.

    The work going into this curation is made possible by readers like you. For less than the cost of a cup of coffee a month, you can help make this work possible.

    New Issue # 1s

    EVERYONE LOVES A JEWEL THIEF # 1

    SOLICIT COPY:

    What’s a struggling writer to do except…pull off a jewel heist!

    Novelist C. Scott Frederiksson hasn’t written anything of note in years. He’s about to lose his adjunct position at the University, be dropped by his agent, and possibly dumped if he doesn’t publish a hit and soon.

    Scott has it all figured out. A masterfully scripted spectacle to dazzle the masses without doing any real harm. A local celebrity will be robbed of her prized possessions, and Scott will come out on the other side as an antihero, showered with publicity and a lucrative new book deal.

    But he can’t do it alone. Every compelling heist needs a crack team of like-minded crooks, and Scott’s top recruits are his old high school D&D group and their ragtag townie friends coming in clutch with the getaway Geo Storm.

    It’ll either be the greatest story C. Scott Frederiksson has ever told, or someone’s going to end up dead. Maybe both!

    Grab a D20 and roll for stealth in this new heist-acular adventure from Tim Seeley and Aaron Campbell because “Everyone Loves a Jewel Thief”!

    The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts… experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?

    Brought to you by the incredible team of Jeff Lemire (Absolute Flash, JSA) and Rafael De Latorre (The Penguin) comes the next epic in the Next Level line.

    The explosive literary mashup series returns! But this time, Godzilla is taking on the classics one story at a time. O Godzilla, Godzilla, wherefore art thou Godzilla?

    THUNDERCATS X SILVERHAWKS # 1

    SOLICIT COPY:

    CIVILIZATIONS COLLIDE IN THE CROSSOVER EVENT OF THE MILLENNIUM! When Panthro originally set out on his mission to launch a new satellite high above Third Earth, he never imagined that he would wind up changing the destiny of two entire galaxies. But as soon as he boarded the mysteriously deserted space station and began digging into its workings, that destiny was set in motion — and now the day of reckoning is at hand!

    Alerted to an anomaly at a long-dormant base in a quarantined sector, The Copper Kid, Quicksilver, and Chromium — the SilverHawks’ newest member — defy Stargazer’s orders and set out on their own to investigate. But as soon as they land on the forbidden planet, they are confronted by a fearsome band of strange, cat-like warriors — and quickly find themselves in a fight for their lives!

    The battle is joined by more ThunderCats, including several whose fearsome abilities threaten to overwhelm the isolated SilverHawks. But when a second vessel appears in orbit, it becomes clear to Panthro that reinforcements are on their way — and not even the Eye of Thundera will be able to stop them!

    ThunderCats mastermind DECLAN SHALVEY kicks off his greatest Thunderan saga to date with ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1, both writing and drawing this 40-page inaugural issue that serves as the spectacular opening chapter in his 15-part crossover event spanning three titles over five months!

    Featuring astronomically appealing covers from SHALVEY, LUCIO PARRILLO, ERIC CANETE, and BEN OLIVER, as well as a special piece of classic ANIMATION ART, ThunderCats X SilverHawks #1 also features two tremendous incentive editions — a special cover reproducing Declan Shalvey’s original layouts for the issue, and an autographed edition of Ben Oliver’s cover signed by ThunderCats original series voice actor LARRY KENNEY!

    THE AUTHOR IMMORTAL vol. 1 TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    A queer, literary fantasy about the stories that shape us—and what happens when we outgrow them.

    Hector Ramirez dreamed of changing the world with words. Years later, he’s given one last chance: to help reboot the fantasy series that shaped his childhood. But when he discovers the author has vanished into his own creation, Hector is pulled into a realm built from fiction and ruled by a story that refuses to end.

    He’s not alone. Along for the journey is Al, his nonbinary teen child searching for their place in both the real world and the story that now threatens to consume them. Alethea, once the series’ bright young mage heroine, also fights alongside them as a battle-worn warrior, questioning whether she still belongs to the story she was created to serve. Together, they must uncover the forces tearing this world apart and what it means to live inside a story that no longer wants you.

    As fiction and reality collide, Hector, Al, and Alethea face a painful truth: to move forward, they’ll have to confront the very story that made them.

    From writer FRANK J. BARBIERE (FIVE GHOSTS) and artist MORGAN BEEM (Swamp Thing: Twin Branches), THE AUTHOR IMMORTAL is a lush, character-driven fantasy for fans of Nimona , Lore Olympus, and MONSTRESS—a mythic, deeply human story about creation, queerness, and finding yourself in the ruins of someone else’s myth.

    Collects THE AUTHOR IMMORTAL #1-5.

    CORTO MALTESE: The Fate of Venice and Other Adventures TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    International award-winning graphic novelist Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese returns to American readers in a new collection of classic Corto tales, featuring a brilliantly executed wild chase through Venice for a vital occult treasure!

    Artist Hugo Pratt’s most famous creation, the indefatigable sailor Corto Maltese, sails back to American readers after a far too-long absence in Corto Maltese: Fable of Venice and Other Adventures.

    Corto, a modern Ulysses whose wanderings in the early decades of the 20th century take him to the most fascinating places on Earth, is a hard-luck, hard-driving iconoclastic anti-hero who values freedom and independence more than wealth and status. In “Fable of Venice,” a riddle from a deceased friend plunges Corto into a phantasmagorical mystery thriller that zigzags between the solidity of dreams and the fluidity of reality. 

    A frantic chase in 1921 Venice ensues, up twisting stairs and down tangled alleys, as Corto vies against Freemasons, occultists, budding fascists, and his friend (suddenly back from the dead) in a mad scramble to secure a mystical emerald that will open the doors of forbidden magic and unravel time and space itself!

    In addition, this collection of quintessential seafaring adventures also presents the Corto Maltese classics “The Secret of Tristan Bantam,” “So Much for Gentlemen of Fortune,” and “The Seagull’s Fault,” making this book an exciting introduction to Pratt’s work.

    EVERYTHING DEAD AND DYING TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    The Walking Dead meets Essex County in this haunting, rural character piece set during a zombie outbreak.

    Jack Chandler is the sole survivor of the zombie apocalypse in his rural farming community, but rather than eliminate them, he has chosen to continue living alongside the undead — including the husband and adopted daughter he fought so hard to have. But when his town is discovered by outsiders, Jack suddenly becomes the one thing standing in the way of his family and those who hope to kill them for good.

    Eisner Award-nominated creators Tate Brombal (Barbalien, Batgirl) and Jacob Phillips (That Texas Blood, Newburn) team up for this original story.

    Collects all issues #1-5.

    PUNK’N HEADS TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    This band plays together, lives together…and unfortunately two of them are sleeping together. Whatever, I’m sure it’s fine. Now put on your punk’n mask and let’s rock!

    Hannah Lipsky isn’t sure what’s happening. She dreamed of becoming a fine art painter, but after breaking up with her girlfriend, she’s suddenly dropped out of art school, moved into a flophouse, and gotten roped into singing in a campy horror-punk band. With costumes. To make things even more complicated, she might be hooking up with her housemate/bandmate/high school crush, Jerry. Wherever this is leading, it’s going to be messy.

    Critically acclaimed, Eisner-nominated creators Nicole Goux (Forest Hills Bootleg Society, Pet Peeves) and Dave Baker (Everyone Is Tulip, Mary Tyler MooreHawk) join forces for a raucous and revealing new graphic novel about making music, making mistakes, facing your past, and choosing your future.

    THE AUTHOR IMMORTAL vol. 1 TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    A queer, literary fantasy about the stories that shape us—and what happens when we outgrow them.

    Hector Ramirez dreamed of changing the world with words. Years later, he’s given one last chance: to help reboot the fantasy series that shaped his childhood. But when he discovers the author has vanished into his own creation, Hector is pulled into a realm built from fiction and ruled by a story that refuses to end.

    He’s not alone. Along for the journey is Al, his nonbinary teen child searching for their place in both the real world and the story that now threatens to consume them. Alethea, once the series’ bright young mage heroine, also fights alongside them as a battle-worn warrior, questioning whether she still belongs to the story she was created to serve. Together, they must uncover the forces tearing this world apart and what it means to live inside a story that no longer wants you.

    As fiction and reality collide, Hector, Al, and Alethea face a painful truth: to move forward, they’ll have to confront the very story that made them.

    From writer FRANK J. BARBIERE (FIVE GHOSTS) and artist MORGAN BEEM (Swamp Thing: Twin Branches), THE AUTHOR IMMORTAL is a lush, character-driven fantasy for fans of Nimona , Lore Olympus, and MONSTRESS—a mythic, deeply human story about creation, queerness, and finding yourself in the ruins of someone else’s myth.

    CORTO MALTESE: The Fate of Venice and Other Adventures TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    International award-winning graphic novelist Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese returns to American readers in a new collection of classic Corto tales, featuring a brilliantly executed wild chase through Venice for a vital occult treasure!

    Artist Hugo Pratt’s most famous creation, the indefatigable sailor Corto Maltese, sails back to American readers after a far too-long absence in Corto Maltese: Fable of Venice and Other Adventures.

    Corto, a modern Ulysses whose wanderings in the early decades of the 20th century take him to the most fascinating places on Earth, is a hard-luck, hard-driving iconoclastic anti-hero who values freedom and independence more than wealth and status. In “Fable of Venice,” a riddle from a deceased friend plunges Corto into a phantasmagorical mystery thriller that zigzags between the solidity of dreams and the fluidity of reality. 

    A frantic chase in 1921 Venice ensues, up twisting stairs and down tangled alleys, as Corto vies against Freemasons, occultists, budding fascists, and his friend (suddenly back from the dead) in a mad scramble to secure a mystical emerald that will open the doors of forbidden magic and unravel time and space itself!

    In addition, this collection of quintessential seafaring adventures also presents the Corto Maltese classics “The Secret of Tristan Bantam,” “So Much for Gentlemen of Fortune,” and “The Seagull’s Fault,” making this book an exciting introduction to Pratt’s work.

    EVERYTHING DEAD AND DYING TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    The Walking Dead meets Essex County in this haunting, rural character piece set during a zombie outbreak.

But when his town is discovered by outsiders, Jack suddenly becomes the one thing standing in the way of his family and those who hope to kill them for good.

    Eisner Award-nominated creators Tate Brombal (Barbalien, Batgirl) and Jacob Phillips (That Texas Blood, Newburn) team up for this original story.

    Collects all issues #1-5.

    PUNK’N HEADS TP

    SOLICIT COPY:

    This band plays together, lives together…and unfortunately two of them are sleeping together. Whatever, I’m sure it’s fine. Now put on your punk’n mask and let’s rock!

    Hannah Lipsky isn’t sure what’s happening. She dreamed of becoming a fine art painter, but after breaking up with her girlfriend, she’s suddenly dropped out of art school, moved into a flophouse, and gotten roped into singing in a campy horror-punk band. With costumes. To make things even more complicated, she might be hooking up with her housemate/bandmate/high school crush, Jerry. Wherever this is leading, it’s going to be messy.

    Critically acclaimed, Eisner-nominated creators Nicole Goux (Forest Hills Bootleg Society, Pet Peeves) and Dave Baker (Everyone Is Tulip, Mary Tyler MooreHawk) join forces for a raucous and revealing new graphic novel about making music, making mistakes, facing your past, and choosing your future.

  20. YouTube's hold on Google News is highly disproportionate. Especially given that social media and video content were supposed to be adjunct to print journalism. By sheer numbers, these data suggest it takes up a greater proportion than all other outlets.

    Fascinatinlgly, different keywords showed variations in the behavior of users with how they engaged with the platform. You can start to see a behavioral difference based on valence and year.

    Plaça de Cort, dimecres, 23 d’abril, a les 15:00 CEST

    ➡️ Sabies que històricament els palestins han venerat Sant Jordi, la mare del qual era d'Al-Ludd (Lydda)?

    🔻 Aquest 23 d'abril donam veu a la lluita i la paraula palestina contra el genocidi sionista al centre de Ciutat. A la tauleta de Ciutadans per Palestina, en front del mateix Ajuntament que censura i criminalitza la solidaritat antisionista, hi trobaràs material formatiu i solidari: el BAM, xapes i punts de llibre, així com el recull de poesia palestina ''Si dius Gaza'' (Calúmnia, 2025). Partint d'aquest recull, a les 18:30 h hem organitzat un recital poètic amb traductors de l'obra i artistes locals.

    NO DEIXEM DE PARLAR DE PALESTINA❗️✌️

    Una auténtica maravilla; que me temo que no puedo resumir sin citarla en su completitud. 💖

    Si que puedo destacar un detalle: el que a lo largo de esta se ilustre a la perfección la trasversalidad de muchos temas y la interrelación entre todos ellos, con la pobreza de eje: racismo y blanquitud (incluso dentro de sectores precarizados), punitivismo y control policial, clase y movimientos sociales, el asistencialismo insulso, y *bastante* más. 📦

    Es también ilustrativo lo mucho que resuena independientemente de qué lado del atlántico provenga… 🌀

    Y la elaboración (destacada en el fragmento adjunto) sobre la presencia del racismo dentro de los movimientos sociales mismos, dentro de los sectores precarizados, también golpea cerca.
    Es un punzante recordatorio de que sufrir una forma de discriminación no impide replicar otras formas de violencia — o incluso las mismas…… 😢

    Welp, 'nuff yappin'.
    Escuchen la entrevista, en serio; merece cada minuto. ✨

  28. Priti Interesting Pick

    I shared with my friend my blog post
    “The Various Culinary (Philosophical?) Dispositions Round the World”
    And she picks this to highlight to me
    From the more than 20 entries in that post
    “Ramana Maharshi: Who is the one who likes the pudding.”
    Knowing she loved that Argentinian, too,
    I message her:
    You’d have liked this, too:
    Latin Americans: Che Guevara never cared for the pudding.
    She replies without much fanfare
    Yes
    I did.

    This shift from the mental
    To the metaphysical
    Is so interesting
    In her who is still in the thick of action
    More wise than Arjuna
    In defusing conflicts across the continents
    Having studied how these patterns play out
    At Fairleigh Dickinson and JNU
    No accounting for the shift
    Except to recognize
    She is one of the few lucky ones
    To whom the Self is starting to reveal itself.

    nāyam ātmā pravacanena labhyo na medhayā, na bahunā śrutena:yamevaiṣa vṛṇute, tena labhyas tasyaiṣa ātmā vivṛṇute tanῡṁ svām.

    -(Katho Upanishad, 1.2, 23)

    Translation: This Self cannot be attained by study of the Scriptures, nor by intellectual perception, nor by frequent hearing (of It). He whom the Self chooses, by him alone is It attained. To him the Self reveals Its true nature.
