Una terraplanista en la comisión de Ciencia de Diputados

La diputada de La Libertad Avanza Lilia Lemoine fue designada este martes como secretaria 1° de la Comisión de Ciencia, tecnología e innovación productiva de la Cámara Baja. La decisión despertó sorpresa entre quienes conocen su forma de pensar, justamente porque la legisladora adhiere al terraplanismo, ha difundido teorías conspirativas sobre el coronavirus y hasta ha planteado en el pasado dudas sobre la llegada del hombre a la Luna.

La designación se efectivizó este martes, en la reunión de la Comisión de Ciencia, tecnología e innovación productiva, presidida por Daniel Gollan (Unión por la Patria), donde además de la elección para la Secretaría 1° -cargo que estaba pendiente de designación- se avanzó con un cronograma de trabajo y "se acordó convocar a una reunión informativa para el 21 de mayo, con el objetivo de invitar a representantes del sector científico y tecnológico, para conocer sus problemáticas y también, escuchar sus distintas propuestas", informó la Cámara de Diputados.

Lemoine, que antes de ser diputada era cosplayer y maquilladora de Javier Milei, acumula una serie de declaraciones que, justamente, no se guían por postulados científicos. 

Durante la pandemia de coronavirus, por ejemplo, propuso una extraña metodología de testeo. "Digo yo, tenemos la Organización Mundial de la Salud, cada país tiene su Conicet, sus científicos. ¿Es tan difícil agarrar a un enfermo de coronavius, hacerlo toser arriba de una mesa y que después vaya otra persona, por supuesto sin factor de riesgo, a chupar la mesa y ver si se contagia o no se contagia? Es un test muy simple que lo podés hacer en tu casa”, planteó.

Tiempo después, adhirió en redes sociales a la teoría conspirativa según la cual la llegada a la Luna fue un montaje. Lo consideró algo "turbio" en base a que desde 1972 no ha habido misiones tripuladas y a que, según ella, la NASA admitió haber perdido "la tecnología para volver" (sic).

También es conocido su video en el que apoya los postulados del terraplanismo, en contradicción flagrante con algo que los navegantes de la antigüedad tenían asumido muchísimo antes de que Juan Sebastián Elcano completara el primer viaje alrededor del mundo en 1522. La supuesta prueba empírica de Lemoine para darle la razón al terraplanismo es que "no hay vuelos comerciales a través del Océano Pacífico" (!) y que considerar plana a la Tierra permite "comprender mucho mejor las rutas aéreas" que si fuera esférica.

Barcelona, Spain. Part II (August 2021). — The European Union recommended on Monday that Americans should be banned from nonessential travel to its member states after a rise in Coronavirus cases in the United States. Countries within the 27-nation bloc have been advised to reinstate Covid-19 related restrictions and halt the arrival of tourists from the U.S. and five other countries. Europe had begun opening up to U.S. travelers in May with destinations dependent on tourism dollars from across the Atlantic eager to recoup heavy losses incurred during successive lockdowns. The European Council, the EU's governing body, recommended in June that the bloc lift restrictions on nonessential travel from 14 countries, including the United States. However, Covid-19 cases in the U.S. have surged in recent weeks, as the highly infectious Delta variant spreads among unvaccinated Americans. Covid-19 cases among children are also hitting levels not seen since winter. However, this guidance is non-binding, so individual countries in the E.U. bloc can decide impose their own sets of restrictions. Travelers should expect a messy patchwork of different rules and regulations across the continent, much like they encounter a mishmash of non-uniform rules and regulations across the U.S. The United States never reopened its own borders to E.U. tourists during the pandemic, a point of contention among many Europeans. The new recommendation, they say, reflects a certain reciprocity. — The threshold for being on the E.U. safe travel list is having fewer than 75 new Covid-19 cases daily per 100,000 inhabitants over the previous 14 days. Currently the U.S. has an infection rate roughly seven times above that threshold. — #EU #europeanunion #covid_19 #coronavirusespaña #coronavius #coronaviruspandemic #travelbans #travel #travelphotography #barcelona #barcelonaespaña #spain #catalunya #photojournalism #fotoperiodismo #documentaryphotography #everydayeurope #everydaybarcelona #everydayspain #everydaycovid19 #everydaycoronavirus #everydayeverywhere (at Barcelona, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTO_TY0ndwQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Document #: M-03

Memorandum

1. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced numerous personnel deemed non-essential into isolation in their quarters. The Foundation thanks all personnel for doing their due diligence in maintaining social distancing measures, washing their hands, and reporting their symptoms to their site’s infirmary. In an effort to boost morale, the Database maintenance staff will begin releasing an extra series of short creative audio works on this main channel every Wednesday until the pandemic resolves. Such works, while not directly relevant to the SCP Foundation, will feature genres popular amongst Foundation personnel, including horror, science fiction, and the Occult. The first of these will be released Wednesday, April 8th, 2020, following a special April 1st object briefing the week prior. The Database maintenance staff wishes good health and good spirits to all personnel.

2. A message from O5 Command: Investigations into the disappearances of SCP-005 and SCP-029 have concluded that the two containment breaches are unrelated. While SCP-029 remains at large, the identification of numerous logged instances of unauthorized information access that are not triggering security protocols have led investigators to conclude that SCP-005 remains on site, in the hands of a Foundation employee. This member of personnel hereby has 72 hours to turn themself over to site security for interrogation, amnesticization, and termination of employment. Such leniency will not be granted beyond this window.

3. The Database maintenance staff would like to thank new Patreon patrons Angelo Pileggi, Carter Marshall, Geo (Overand), Jaketheripper18, Jared Falto, Joey Kedziora, Lucas Edwards, Noodle, and ZZ Slipaway. As a show of appreciation for their continued support in this time of global crisis, all of these personnel, regardless of Clearance Level, have now been granted the opportunity to request specific works to release as part of the aforementioned series of extra Wednesday episodes. If any other personnel would like to make such episode requests, or to expand their access to the Database to include Joke SCPs, audio log outtakes, and the ability to request that object briefings on specific SCPs be made available, they may follow the link in the description to visit patreon.com/thescpfoundationdatabase.

Homeschool Coronaicles: Day 2

We woke up with the mindset that we would be following the schedule to a T today, but that is rarely how it goes in this family.

The kids ate breakfast that the school provided in their bags from the day before. Preparing and delivering breakfast and lunch gives the school faculty something to do in order to continue getting paid, so we have been encouraged to use this resource. 

We started the day off with a mix of i-Ready math and ABC mouse. C worked on differentiating between the letters h and n and practiced writing his name. A completed 2 encore activities. H colored and danced around like a princess. 

I left to go pick up today’s lunch and tomorrow’s breakfast around 12 and received a call from mom that the bees were swarming. Dad was preoccupied with other obligations so we were just waiting for him to get home. After collecting the kids and the husband, we drove over. The kids had lunch while the husband and I alternated watching our 3 kids plus the niece and nephew. 

We discovered that it wasn’t just one swarm. It was actually 4!  To summarize, the capture of swarms 2-4 was successful. The first swarm’s queen got away and we have yet to locate it. After 3 hours and a sting on the knuckle, we gave up the hunt and came on home to continue our homeschooling adventure. 

We are still trying to navigate how to approach this, as we were all thrown into this homeschooling role without much warning. We decided to throw today’s schedule out the window and do a scavenger hunt with the bubble maker running. H loves bubbles! Snacks consisted of what was left from their lunch from school. 

We are now in quiet time. H is watching youtube, C is watching Netflix, and A is watching The Walking Dead with the husband. Once I wrap up this post, I’ll be set to work on homework for an hour or so or until the kids notice I’ve disappeared. This weekend’s goals are finishing the last 15 pages of my course, working on the week's lessons, and creating a dinner plan out of the groceries we have here at home. Everything is flexible right now, as the husband will soon be switching shifts when he begins FTO. We have no clue as to what day he starts.

Whatever obstacles are thrown at us, we will continue to take it a day at a time.
