          The towers of OPPE 26 are far from the only buildings to have collapsed during Venezuela’s massive back-to-back earthquakes last month. But their utter destruction has taken on an outsized symbolic value.

          These concrete blocks, home to thousands of people, were part of a showcase project of the Hugo Chávez government, built under a state program called Gran Misión Vivienda. They were a promise, as my colleague Julie Turkewitz writes, “to house the poor in dignity” as well as, in chavismo-speak, to “break the capitalist logic that commodified the home.” One Misión Vivienda project in La Guaira was named after the former president himself; the town homes in the Hugo Chávez complex “crumbled like toy houses,” Julie writes, amid questions about the quality of their construction.

          Buildings like OPPE 26 weren’t just social housing. They were, as my colleague Anatoly Kurmanaev puts it, “the apex of a sprawling patronage system that helped keep the Socialist Party of Venezuela in power for nearly three decades.”
         </span>

          Plans for the buildings began in 2011, just ahead of an election, at a time when the Venezuelan state still had oil money to spend. Construction proceeded hastily; design details and information about soil tests were largely withheld from the public. Many were built by foreign companies with opaque contracts.

          But residents, seismologists and watchdog groups had long warned about the conditions in the OPPE complexes, including cracks in the walls and gas safety issues. (Complexes OPPE 25, OPPE 27 and OPPE 33 were also badly damaged.) In 2017, the president of the Venezuela College of Engineers called the questionable structural integrity of the units “a state secret.”

          They’re angry that civilians are doing the vast amount of the rescue and recovery work, without training or equipment. They’re furious that Venezuela’s leader, Delcy Rodríguez, wore a luxury Italian ski jacket while visiting quake victims. And they’re openly saying so, in a state that still retains its vast repressive apparatus.

          The frontman of the Rolling Stones sat down for an interview before the release last week of “Foreign Tongues,” the band’s 25th studio album. At 82, Jagger spoke about how fame could make you “disassociated from what people might call ‘real life’” and how he has learned, with age, to switch off his stage persona. David Marchese, co-host of The Interview, described him as “chattier and warmer — and more playful — than I expected.” You can

          The film “Satluj” took only about a year to make, but filmmakers spent almost four more trying to get it past India’s censors. It explores the life of a human-rights activist who documented police abuses during the separatist insurgency that engulfed Punjab State in the 1980s and ’90s, one of the most violent periods in independent India’s history.

          The modern American all-you-can-eat buffet is usually traced back to El Rancho Vegas, the first resort built on the Las Vegas Strip in 1941.

          In 2019, the Las Vegas Sun newspaper described buffets as the city’s “regional cuisine.” Then, some 70 casino buffets — large, extravagant dining rooms with hundreds of dishes — lined the Strip. Today, around six remain.
