In 1593, Spanish soldier Gil Pérez fell asleep whilst on the night watch in Manila. When he woke up he found himself in Mexico, where nobody believed his story and took him for a desertor. They locked him up, but one detail was that he knew of the murder of the Gov of Philippines
@bookdellector got the feeling, that deep down, he knows they will ditch him when they don't need him anymore, and a horrible fate awaits. They will suddenly remember that he was a terrorist after all, but he is too deep now to change course. Shakespeare would have a field day with his story
The Gen Z discourse does seem to be particularly acute in the US but looks like the natural endpoint of decades of cultural flow of hyper individualism & entitlement started by boomers
All in my years in education, a consistent theme is many parents see school as a form of parental delegation so they can forget about them and do more "important" things
My daughter’s secondary school has started sending me a weekly update of her homework completion. I don’t understand this modern need for parents to be kept abreast of their child’s every movement at school.
It started at preschool with photos of them uploaded almost daily. Why?
🚔 Matan en Juchitán al presunto agresor de la diseñadora muxe Elvis Guerra
Un joven identificado como Antonio, de 23 años, señalado como presunto agresor de Elvis Guerra, fue asesinado la noche del domingo 20 de septiembre en la Cuarta Sección de Juchitán, Oaxaca. En el lugar dejaron una narcomanta con un mensaje en el que lo señalan por haber balaceado la casa de la diseñadora.
La vivienda de Guerra, diseñadora muxe y artesana zapoteca, fue atacada a balazos el viernes 18 de septiembre. Días antes, la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum utilizó durante el Grito de Independencia un vestido elaborado por el taller de Guerra, quien posteriormente pidió ayuda a la mandataria al denunciar que era víctima de extorsión y amenazas.
La información sobre el asesinato del joven circuló en redes sociales y hasta ahora las autoridades no han confirmado ni desmentido los señalamientos sobre su identidad o su relación con el ataque.

I despise anyone who uses "🇲🇽🇺🇲" in their handle or bio because it always means their love for the US is far greater than their love for Mexico. You cant truly love Mexico unless you hate the US
The unbearable tragedy of being too American for Mexicans, and being way too brown for Americans to care for you. Lost in the void, their 3 remaining brain cells explode into one shouty mess of nonsense
Saw somebody waving a Mexican flag right here in Midland, Texas. Nah. If that’s the flag you’re proud to fly, wave it in Mexico. This is Texas. This is America. 🇺🇸

Iran produces so many engineers that even when losing thousands abroad it still has enough to achieve what the GCC shitholes cannot even fathom, dignity & self-sufficiency
یکی از دلایل اینکه نیروگاهها و پتروشیمیهای آسیبدیده اینقدر زود بازسازی شدن؛
همین صنایع خودکفای داخلی خودمونه!
به جای اینکه بریم منت زیمنس آلمان رو بکشیم،
رفتیم سراغ مهندسهای خودمون. 😎
@enesovat22 This is just childish, religion is the means by which one can understand and communicate with God, not which one gives me better luck. If that is what people are looking for, in the short term, do Santeria, messes you up long term, but real short term benefits for the impulsive

Dems are not proactive in domestic or foreign policy. If Iran & Yemen can institutionalize US withdrawal from the large swathes of the region whilst Trump still in power the Dems will just stay silent about it forever
@Sirwilliam___7 One of the benefits of being a pathetic brown man willing to sell his entire being to the system is that you get given a handler/pretend girlfriend
@BlackIntifada access to power and material wealth has had a corrupting effect. They would rather maintain the system if it means they are closer to those in power and they like the optics
@anotherhanbali Yemen and Iran have shown fortitude in face of adversity and suffering. Shia belief helps in that, but also certain Arab countries have found laziness in comfort, laziness in all aspects including spiritual
you know, “Cho Chang” etc gets a lot easier to understand when you remember Rowling was writing in the NINETIES in SCOTLAND. There was no internet to look this kind of thing up and no Koreans or Chinese to personally ask. People really do not remember pre-internet life
@FamilieB3 I accept there are different paths to God & salvation, to me this is why Allah is in infinite wisdom sent many prophets because there are many paths to the truth, if Jesus is the genuine path for this man, good for him, but this reeks of grift & thus makes me question his truth
