Creativity, design, motion... and a little nonsense

El gobierno de Puebla pagó 4 millones 984 mil pesos a la empresa "Dispositivos Electrovisuales SA De Cv" quien se encargó de armar el prototipo del "Olinia", el problema es que trajo TODO de CHINA y la empresa se dedica a la señalética, su dueña recibió Millones con EPN. Hilo 🧵

El gobierno a través de @Secihti_Mx entregó 1 contrato para diseño del coche Olinia a la empresa Rocketel SAPI, por 5 millones, una empresa de telefonía en una casita en Mérida. Te cuento la historia de como tofo este proyecto huele a fraude. En este hilo 🧵

A la opinión pública:

Acabo de ser notificado que por decisión del @ITAM_mx, quedo relevado de mi cátedra como profesor de seguridad nacional, en razón de mis comentarios en contra de la 4T y los señalamientos en su contra por presunto narcoterrorismo.

Mi remoción coincide con una serie de observaciones que realicé la semana pasada en contra del nombramiento de María de Haas como subsecretaria para América del Norte en la SRE, candidata promovida por la SEDENA.

Puntualmente, mi remoción es del @CesigItam, el centro dirigido por el profesor Vidal Romero y Jorge Tello Peón, exdirector del CISEN.

Este despido me genera no solo una afectación patrimonial (respecto del ingreso que ya anticipaba que habría el próximo semestre en razón de estas clases), sino que también refleja la precarización en la que vivimos los docentes mexicanos. Toda universidad alega que somos prestadores de servicios profesionales, no empleados. En mi caso, ni contrato tenía, a pesar de que ya estaba trabajando desde hace un par de meses en mis cursos e incluso promoviéndolos para garantizar que hubiera el mínimo de inscritos para que se abriera el curso.

Siempre me dio la impresión de que el ITAM era la universidad era más valiente de México. Cuna de funcionarios que han construído el país y que también han desafiado la autoridad y la opresión. Me entristece ver que ese, el último baluarte de la exigencia académica en México, se doble ante un par de llamadas telefónicas pidiendo mi cabeza.

De mi lado estoy convencido de una cosa, pisé un callo frente al cual el gobierno en turno se siente increpado. Al terrorista hay que llamarle terrorista. Y hay que decirlo una y mil veces, México está en la antesala de una intervención militar estadounidense, y esa realidad fáctica no desaparecerá simplemente al remover a los universitarios de las trincheras donde adviertan que esto es un hecho.

Tenía mucha ilusión de compartir en el aula con los estudiantes más brillantes de México mi conocimiento sobre derecho de la seguridad nacional.

Para mala suerte de quienes pretendieron perjudicarme en mi trabajo para silenciarme, irónicamente, lo único que van a lograr es que este mensaje llegue a todos los confines del país.

A mis colegas del @CesigItam, les reitero mi agradecimiento que aunque por breve tiempo me hayan recibido. Son sin duda los profesores más famosos de México en materia de seguridad nacional. Ahora les imploro una última cosa, que también se conviertan en los más valientes.

Greek City Times published an open letter to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey this week. It reads in part:

"We did not vanish. Greek people did not disappear after the age of myth. Greek culture was not frozen in classical marble. We are still here. For more than 3,000 continuous years, Greek identity has persisted."

The addendum: "Given Hollywood's insistence for minority representation, authenticity and diversity — where are the Greeks, or the Greek Americans in this Greek story?"

The film shot in Greece, with Greek funding, across Greek locations. Not one cast member is Greek.

Hollywood required diversity for every production except this one.

💸 Adidas explotó a las artesanas de Naupan: les pagó 36 pesos la hora y el jersey cuesta 4 mil

Adidas y la firma Someone Somewhere explotaron el talento de las artesanas de Naupan, Puebla, pagándoles apenas 36 pesos por cada hora de bordado en la nueva colección de la Selección Mexicana. Mientras la marca alemana comercializa el jersey “Artisan JSY” en 4 mil pesos, la retribución para las manos poblanas representa una fracción mínima de las ganancias.

people are being way too shortsighted about UE6. yes, it’ll probably arrive around 2028, but that’s missing the bigger picture entirely. the real impact is what this announcement does right now for rocket leagues future. It signals to players, orgs, investors, creators, etc that the game isn’t going anywhere. rocket league now has a confirmed long-term future, and that alone is going to drive more people to invest time, money, and effort into the ecosystem. honestly, the community just needed hope. this announcement proves epic still cares about the product, and that reassurance is massive for the health of the game. It gives players confidence that the passion they pursue everyday will still be around and thriving years from now, which makes pursuing content, esports, and other opportunities around the game feel far more sustainable. and that’s before even talking about what UE6 itself could bring feature-wise or the possibility of UE5 being used as a transition phase beforehand. for the future of rocket league, this was pretty much the best announcement we could’ve gotten. nothing else would’ve matched the hype or restored this much optimism around the game, it’s all a massive snowball effect.

@rov85 Rocket League 😁😁🏎️🎮

[Bruno Ferreira @brunographer]

@EpicGames announcing UE6 with @RocketLeague is gonna be HUGE for the game. Player count will go through the roof and RL will finally become the global phenomenon it deserves to be. Huge W!!! #ThisIsRocketLeague

An update!

I'm sorry I've been quiet, but I've spent the last couple of days learning as much as I can about PSN account theft: How long it's been happening, why people are being affected, and so on. I've likewise exchanged a ton of emails with and spoken extensively on the phone with multiple high-ranking people at Sony in different departments over a series of lengthy calls. I want to sincerely thank them for listening, asking great questions, being thorough and thoughtful, and doing everything they can to help. I owe them a lot, and it's through their efforts that I hope we will see action.

On the next episode of Sacred Symbols, I will go deep into what we've learned (and because it's so important, we will make this episode free-for-all upon release this Friday). The reality, as far as we can tell, is that the PSN is extremely vulnerable to so-called "social engineering": Using completely mundane information -- like what you'd find on a Wal-Mart or Target receipt (if that) combined with nothing more than an email address -- and using those details to hijack innocent people's accounts via call center customer service representatives. This technique completely circumvents not only your password, but your 2FA, etc. It happened to me, it's happened to many others, and it will continue to happen unless fundamental changes are made.

In addition to the people at Sony that have been so helpful, I want to thank people in my community with IT, infosec (etc.) backgrounds who have stepped up in major ways, all without being asked. We've learned an enormous amount about the who, what, where, why, and so on, all because of these people volunteering their time and effort. I'm actually (pleasantly) shocked how good these folks are. We have been and will continue to be passing along everything we've learned (and continue to learn) to Sony, in hopes that we can be useful in solving this major problem for the entirety of the PlayStation community.

Ultimately, I have two goals:

1.) To help convince Sony that they need to make serious, immediate efforts to secure people's accounts on PlayStation Network. (We are in this stage.)

2.) To help reunify people with their stolen accounts. (This is a big one, and my heart is so heavy for people who have lost access, sometimes for months and even years, through no fault of their own, and with seemingly no recourse for them. It's simply not fair.)

More on the show! In the meantime, be well. <3

Aquí la historia de como @jgnaredo se robó 600 millones de pesos que le dio el INE para el diario Regeneración de Morena usando una empresa fantasma llamada aureacode sa de cv y como terminó eso en manos de la gente de @rocionahle

Te explico en este hilo 🧵

Being 43 is wild. People your age are living completely different lives.

Some are grandparents. Some are raising toddlers. Some are newly divorced. Some are newly engaged. Some haven’t slept in three years. Some are in St. Tropez posting Aperol spritzes from a yacht.

Some look 25.
Some look like they personally remember the invention of Tupperware.

Nobody got the same assignment.

If you look at how Sony is handling the PlayStation 5 right now, the sudden hardware price hikes, the expensive mid-gen refresh, the increased cost of digital games and accessories, and a general vibe that they aren’t really listening to player feedback; it can feel jarring. But for anyone who was plugged into the industry twenty years ago, none of this is new. You’re just witnessing the return of "Arrogant Sony."

To understand how a company gets this way, you have to look at the transition from the PS2 to the PS3. Coming off the PlayStation 2 era, Sony didn't just win the console war; they utterly dominated the entire landscape. The PS2 became the best-selling console of all time, completely flattening the original Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube. When you reach that level of absolute, undisputed market dominance, corporate hubris inevitably sets in. Sony started believing that the "PlayStation" brand name alone was bulletproof, and that gamers would blindly pay anything just for the privilege of owning their next machine.

That arrogance famously peaked at E3 2006, when they dropped the infamous "$599 US Dollars" price tag for the PS3. Executives literally told the public that people would work second jobs to afford one, and that the console was "probably too cheap."

The gaming media back then rarely checked them on this behavior. The access journalism of the mid-2000s was heavily driven by perks, and no perk was bigger than securing an invite to Sony’s lavish, over-the-top annual E3 party. It was the gaming industry equivalent of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party; the absolute peak of Hollywood-level excess, exclusivity, and clout. If an outlet ran too many critical editorials or hit pieces questioning Sony's corporate attitude, they risked getting blacklisted from the event. So, the media largely smiled, played along, and let the hubris grow completely unchecked until the public voted with their wallets and forced Sony into a desperate, years-long game of catch-up against the Xbox 360.

Cut to today, and history is repeating itself because Sony finds themselves back in that exact same unchallenged position.

Right now, Sony essentially views Xbox as zero competition. Microsoft's strategy shift toward putting their first-party games on competing platforms has signaled to Sony that they've won the traditional high-end console space. At the same time, Sony has never factored Nintendo into their direct market equations, viewing them as a completely separate "family or casual" ecosystem rather than a threat to their core demographic.

With no perceived rivals left in their lane, Sony’s corporate focus underwent a massive structural shift around 2020, moving its operational heartbeat out of Japan to align the brand as a thoroughly Western company run out of California. They wanted to focus on massive, blockbuster Western cinematic games, and in doing so, they completely took their eye off their home turf.

They began ignoring the Japanese market, culminating in symbolic but deeply telling moves like globally swapping the standard functionality of the X and O controller buttons. Since 1994, Japanese players had used O for confirm and X for cancel; it was a deeply ingrained muscle memory and cultural standard. Forcing the Western layout on Japan was a blatant declaration that regional preferences no longer mattered to the new regime.

But while Sony was looking away and treating Nintendo like non-competition, Nintendo quietly and completely stole the entire Japanese market from under them. The Switch became an absolute juggernaut in Japan, completely reshaping gaming habits there while PlayStation hardware sales and cultural footprint shrank to historic lows.

When a company believes it has no true peers left to fight in its specific bracket, the internal guardrails come down. The price hikes, the lack of communication, and the corporate indifference we’re seeing with the PS5 right now aren't a mistake; it's the exact same script from 2006, being played out by a company that once again thinks it's completely untouchable.
