Artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to claim its first victims in the stock market. And they are not companies nostalgic for the past. On the contrary. For months, global leaders in the software, cybersecurity, and consulting industries have been experiencing an unprecedented debacle in years. The most alarmist have dubbed the situation “SaaS-pocalypse,” something akin to a software apocalypse.
The meadows of Bushehr’s maritime corridor are full again. The heat has subsided and the sun begins to set over the blue waters of the Persian Gulf. Entire families throw blankets in any free space, preferably under the palm trees. They have everything they need to spend a couple of hours enjoying the sea breeze: gas stoves on which they heat the food they have prepared, thermoses full of tea, and there are even those who load their hookah. A few have taken to the sea with their parachutes to kitesurf, taking advantage of the breeze at this time of year, and several children play on the beach. “Everything seems normal, but nothing is,” says Amin – as he wants us to call him – who shows us videos and photos taken in Bushehr a few days ago in Tehran, when the ceasefire had already begun.

Pablo Marín, the boy from Logroño whose first football memories are playing the drum and trumpet in the stands watching his father play, arrived at Zubieta at 13 years old and was a ball boy in the 2021 semi-final, and yesterday, in an exciting and nail-biting final, he gave Real Sociedad their third Copa del Rey title. A penalty shootout that featured another hero, Unai Marrero, who had already saved a penalty in the League last season against Kylian Mbappé and was key in the round of 16 against Osasuna this season. He did the same against shots from Sörloth and Julián Álvarez. A metaphor for an ill-fated final for Atlético, always behind, from the first breath to the last. It’s a matter of rewinding (2-2, 3-4 en penaltis).
A few weeks ago, I was talking to an informed, intelligent, and politically influential person here in Spain about the global battle that defines our times, democracy versus authoritarianism. His/Her summary of the situation: “The lefts must unite.” No
Pope Leo XIV was approaching his first year of pontificate, which he will complete next May, going largely unnoticed in the international sphere as a global reference for all Catholics. The conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza and Donald Trump’s broadsides did not generate
