Let's check in on the "Sí al Desarme, Sí a la Paz" disarmament event in Tzintzuntzan, Michoacán, Mexico and see how it went.
As expected, not well. 4 bystanders were shot when a soldier attempted to cut a loaded firearm in half for no apparent reason.
Avoid "disarmament events" in Mexico accordingly...

A Stanford professor stood in front of a full lecture hall and told them that depression has almost nothing to do with sadness. Then he wrote two words on the whiteboard that nobody in the room could define. Anhedonia. Psychomotor retardation. That, he said, is the actual illness.
The man is Robert Sapolsky, the neurobiologist who built his career following wild baboons across Kenya to measure what stress does to a living body.
What makes the video worth 52 minutes is not the subject. It is the method.
No slides. No notes he ever glances down at. One camera, one whiteboard, and a man taking depression apart the way a neurologist takes apart a stroke.
He is doing something deliberate, and it takes a while to catch. Every time the material could soften into sympathy, he hauls it back into biology. Hormones. Neurotransmitters. Genes that do nothing whatsoever until life goes wrong, and then decide everything.
Somewhere in the middle he says one sentence about depression that viewers have been pulling out of this lecture for 16 years. It is 5 words long. It reads like a contradiction until he unpacks it.
Under the video, sleepy_and_caffeinated quoted that exact sentence and wrote two words beneath it. That got me. 4.3 thousand people agreed.
Johnny_boy777 said it from another angle. The best thing about the internet, he wrote, is that any ordinary person can sit in on this without ever enrolling at Stanford. 2.6 thousand likes.
16 years old. 6.2 million views. 9410 comments. One of 25 lectures in the Stanford course Human Behavioral Biology, and every one of them is free.
Most people assume they understand depression because they have felt bad. 52 minutes is enough to learn they were describing something else entirely.
52 minutes. 5 words. It is in the video.
China doesn't mess around! A drone spotted a man entering the sea to swim at night which broke the rules in place against this.
What a dystopian time we live in! 😭
🇷🇺🇲🇱Yesterday, Russian Africa Corps troops were locked in a raw, close-range firefight with JNIM/Tuareg militants near Niono, Mali.
Insane to watch this up close. War is mad
