"This war has nothing to do with NATO. It's not NATO’s war," Stefan Kornelius, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, told reporters in Berlin on Monday. "NATO is a defensive alliance, an alliance for the defense of its territory," he added.

O melhor texto q li sobre o assunto nos últimos tempos. O único pinguinho d sal q coloco nele é q não temos ferramentas pra verdadeiramente fazer frente a isso q não seja uma resposta revolucionária. Ela pintou esse quadro ao longo do texto inteiro: o andamento do capital deu a toada dessa nova misoginia; o nó górdio é também o capital. Se tudo isso lhe parece obscuro na prática, leia "Mulher, Estado e Revolução", pra entender o quanto a revolução comunista é capaz d ferir o patriarcado. As instituições democrático-burguesas estão claramente em crise junto com o capital, não possuem qualquer poder pra reverter esse quadro. E na prática, quando a oportunidade revolucionária vem e não aproveitamos, a burguesia faz suas contra revoluções.

Original title (ES): Jaripeo (Mexican Rodeo)

Set against the vibrant spectacle of the jaripeo, a symbol of Mexican cowboy tradition and machismo, this story unveils a hidden world of queer desire and quiet rebellion. As glances and gestures disrupt the rigid norms of masculinity, the rodeo becomes a stage for our protagonists to navigate identity, community, and the search for belonging in an oppressively traditional space.

I'm not sure that I've phrased this question well, or that I even know how to ask this question well.

Once upon a time, I looked at the web as akin to an igneous rock, whereas now I think of it aa a sedimentary rock.

The web has changed a lot in the last ~5 years. Sure, it can withstand a nuclear blast or whatever it was designed to withstand, but it clearly wasn't designed to have usage patterns designed to endure.

For me, the thing that really drove this point home was a (possibly fake, possibly a joke) business card I once saw online. I don't specifically remember where I saw it, but I remember it was like a name and then where the title would typically go, it said "bounty hunter, soldier of fortune," and other dubious jobs. When I saw it, I thought it was hilarious. However, when I tried to find it again years later, I could not.

That experience got me to thinking that the primary usage pattern I had come to expect was not prevalent. Moreover, I remember having to cite sources in school papers by listing URLs, and I was never also taught that those links are transient -- that was something I learned via living.

Obviously, a public school college professor is not like a magic oracle that knows all the right answers and how the future unfolds, I get that. This all just gets me to thinking about the ephemerality of knowledge. I remember being very enthusiastic about Google once upon a time. I saw a Google video where someone from there was to make all human knowledge universally accessible. I was like majorly seduced by that. Now ~20 years later, the web -- you know: the one Google owns 😒 -- is like a maze of ads. That isn't really what I had in mind when I heard "all human knowledge."

Anyway, I mention all of this because my first impression was that humans sought to record what was known so as to build upon that. Now, my impression is that the digital commons got turned into forum of captive buyers without the language used ever changing, so it's a shift that's difficult to detect.
