Call this nostalgia. It's not! I still own my original copy of The Secret of Monkey Island, decades old and kept in pristine condition. A server shutdown can't erase it. An account ban can't lock me out of it. An expired license can't take it away. None of that survives a download. #NoDiscNoBuy

"Landscape with Geese" (1888), Paul Gauguin. Painted in Pont-Aven, this work marks Gauguin’s shift from Impressionism to Symbolism. It emphasizes flat forms, bold color, and synthetist composition, reflecting his pursuit of spiritual meaning beyond naturalistic representation.

Terrorismo de Estado, refiere al uso sistemático de violencia y coacción por parte del Estado para imponer control y miedo en la población. El Estado utiliza su monopolio de la fuerza de manera ilegítima, violando derechos humanos y obstaculizando el acceso a la justicia. Relean 1984 de Orwell. 📢

In just two days, I collected 13L of plastic: straws, labels, broken toys, and single-use bags. This waste ends up in our oceans while big companies keep polluting without consequences, and open-air dumps keep growing. When will we stop ignoring it? #climatecrisis #plasticpollution #stopthewaste

The elimination of the Dept. of Ed. would require a law from Congress, suggesting that any unilateral action would be unconstitutional or, at the very least, beyond the president's powers. The entire country must defend the rule of law, Congress itself, and the Supreme Court.

La guerra en Ucrania es compleja. Rusia controla el 20% del territorio, pero tmb sufre grandes bajas y no logra una victoria clara. Ucrania, c/apoyo internacional, retiene el 80% y muestra resistencia. La situación humanitaria es grave, esta narrativa simplista no refleja la realidad del conflicto.

An autocrat born in the heart of African apartheid, using DOGE to manipulate markets and control the fate of billions without being elected. He tries to sell us "efficiency" while multiplying his billions, believing the world is his private property, regardless of the people's suffering. No limits.

Google's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico undermines Mexico's sovereignty. It's central to remove apps like Gmail, Google Calendar & Maps, switching to alternatives like ProtonMail and OpenStreetMap, which protect privacy and respect national sovereignty, avoiding the imposition of tech corporations.
The Gulf of Mexico has historically been Mexican territory, governed since Mexico's independence in 1821. Despite disputes, including the war with the U.S., Mexico maintains sovereignty over the Gulf's waters and coasts, a key element of its identity and resources.Google Calendar removes Black History Month, Pride and other cultural events.

Google’s online and mobile calendars are no longer including references to Black History Month, Women’s History Month and LGBTQ+ holidays, among other events.

The world’s biggest search engine previously marked the beginning of Black History Month in February and Pride Month in June, but the events do not appear for 2025.

If the government censors or arbitrarily removes that book from your local libraries, get Discourse on Voluntary Servitude. Remember: tyrants have power only because the masses grant it to them. Instead of focusing on how oppression is imposed, it examines why people accept it—and even defend it.
