Alicortado, perplejo me contaba un amigo que invitado a una batida de perdiz de un coto comunal, en el secarral donde antaño apuñalaba el Hidalgo pellejos de vino, a la hora del taco, improvisado almuerzo para seguir cazando, le sorprendió que sobre la mesa no hubiera cubiertos. Los paisanos, entre fantasmadas y risas...

-“Disculpe, en la puerta hay una china que pregunta por usted.

-¿Y que coño quiere venderme?” sobresalté al camarero, mientras le perseguía secándome las manos.

-“Yo tabaja como una nega”, farfullo “la china” inclinando levemente la cabeza. Y sin más preámbulos, le di mi delantal que le arrastraba.

Mientras la realidad virtual o los bots son dos tendencias que tardarán en asentarse, el vídeo en 360º es una realidad con la que los medios ya deben comenzar a experimentar. Es asequible, sencillo y no hace falta calzarse un casco para disfrutar de la experiencia.

Los grandes distribuidores de vídeo en Internet quieren captar a los creadores. Para ello no escatiman en gastos. Facebook pagaría a algunos medios y pesonajes famosos hasta 250.000 dólares por 20 vídeos en directo cada tres meses.

The New York Times cada vez depende más de sus lectores y menos de sus anunciantes: sus abonados digitales suman ya más de 1,2 millones. Una estrategia irrepetible pero que bien se tomar como referencia.

India's quick commerce market is booming and is set to reach USD 40 billion by 2030. This surge is driven by consumer demand for fast deliveries, with 46% of consumers reducing their reliance on traditional Kirana shops. Quick commerce platforms are projected to capture 21% of total Kirana sales by 2024.

The size of the deal is estimated at over Rs 1,300 crore. With the transaction, both Bharti and DMPL will receive shares of ATFL as consideration and will become public shareholders of ATFL post the transaction.

My great-aunt went on to earn her master's degree at Smith College School for Social Work, and then settled in a teaching position in the newly formed Richmond Professional Institute at the College of William & Mary in Virginia.

Today, we’ll hear about some interspecies sonic landscapes in the form of music that's designed to be interrupted. Then, is ‘cancel culture’ a kind of modern moral panic? It’s a new episode of Book It.

So I was watching a movie that's close to 40 years old that featured not only the "I'm too old for this shit!" line but also the trope where there's a cop announcing he's due to retire in a few days who more or less immediately gets killed. What is the earliest appearance of this trope? (This will by its nature be a spoilery thread. Since I'm looking for examples that are 40+ years old, I don't think that should be an issue for most people, but if you're some kind of anti-spoiler monastic even on movies old nearly enough to retire from the police force themselves, feel free to opt out.)

The movie I was watching was To Live and Die in LA, by the way.

I'm fully expecting someone who frequents those movie trope pages to have a handy link for this, but I'm also figuring some example by example sorting may be in order.

I figure there were probably antecedents to this trope, like maybe WWII movies where a guy's stint is up the next day, then he gets killed by a sniper or what have you. I'm interested to hear about those too, but I'd also like to know where it started with cop movies, what some classic examples are (Lethal Weapon springs to mind), and even if it's appeared much since it's 1980's heyday.
