A little preview of something that I have in store for later this month. Should be pretty fun.

I have been finishing to read the book AntiDrug Capitalism(is from an author that could be considered trotskyist) and this part made me hate the US more.
The translation of the highlighted part is the following:
In 2011, Pemex filed a lawsuit in Houston against ten US oil and pipeline companies for collaborating with organized crime by buying stolen natural gas from Mexico’s Burgos Basin.
“The cartels built tunnels and their own pipelines to facilitate the theft … All defendants have participated in and profited - knowingly or unknowingly - from the trafficking of illegal condensate into the United States and thereby encouraged and financed the Mexican organized crime groups that stole the condensate,” the complaint states.
All of these entities have been militarized as part of the drug war, and some of them have high levels of displacement due to war-related violence.
Y aún así, los yanquis se creen los protectores de democracia y soberanía mundial.
La propaganda gringa funciona tristemente. Es muy buena engañando a la gente con slogans que ni los mismísimos yanquis creen.
😔
Have a great week!
You too comrade 🫡
You too
Let’s go another week
It’s fall again so I can stop having a personality and start wearing cool outfits. I actually like fall with the rain and the wind and the greyness though I want to retreat into the woods in the southern part of the country for a while, to sort out things. Sadly that’s not a possibility right now.
Do the weeks ever stop… I am asking for a friend?

How many XiBucks do I need to pay you for you to send Grain a bever but call it a capybara?
I have some really good bever videos
See and you should be allowed to use them
Thinking about how to translate USian into Dutch. I was thinking about Verenigde Statener for people, and Verenigde Statenlijk to describe something. Of course you can shorten it to Statener and Statenlijk.
Spanish has a word for USian that gets serious use, estadounidense, but it’s long so most say americano/a instead
How nice of you-know-who to finally admit that they have nuclear weapons. I just love honesty.
It is a few matchdays into the Premier League and Liverpool have a small lead at the top so I have become a Liverpool fan again. Feels good to watch games on the weekend. Not looking forward to when they crash and burn at some point and I lose interest.
Everything a fan doen inside and outside the stadium has a direct impact on the game so keep on cheering
The problem is I don’t think they deserve my support. The only thing I got out of supporting a team based in England while I am in India is that I felt a sense of camaraderie with fellow supporters. Earlier it was through an obscure Malaysian forum that was shut down, then through the subreddit but everything is astroturfed to hell now. If I was around more people that were into football maybe I would be more into it but tempering my interest seems good for now.
I would like to thank the Tea Club for the fun vacation this weekend, taking me to the zoo, and to a cave, and to the local amusment park, I would also like to thank them for the ending of the trip where they got me 2 24 packs of Dr. Pepper it was truly a wonderful experence and I would recommend it to anyone
Yes… that’s definitely what happened. No one was locked in any basements. Nope, just a fun vacation. By the way, you might want to check what’s inside those cans of “Dr. Pepper” we gave you.
Oh I donated them to the local food bank I wanted to spread the kindness the tea club gave me with my comunity.
also you keep saying this so sinsterly, it was genuinly a really nice weekend. I highly recomend if the Tea Club offers you a vacation that you take them up on it

Good! Now even more people will get to drink the real tea that we replaced the Dr. Pepper with.

Yes, if we ever offer you a vacation, do not resist. Um, I mean… you should definitely take us up on our offer :3
elaborate on “taking you to a cave”
I feel like more countries should do the “the king is not invited” strat that mexico is doing, its a pretty efficient way to delegitimize opposition parties and media. Genius really, in mexico you now have the same guys that decry dictatorship defending a literal monarch lmao.
AI21 labs is an isntreal company. I’m boycotting their AI. You should also. they released Jamba LLM models.
Khalida Jarrar is Palestinian leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
this is so wild to me. time have changed a lot and yet so many things are same.
Injured myself while marathon training so I think the marathon is off for now. Got some issues with my knee. It’s better now but it took 2+ weeks out of my schedule and I don’t think I can or want to compensate it.
Decided to up the strength training and I joined the gym again after more than a year of working out at home. Took me five minutes to realize that working out at the gym can suck ass lol. The gym I was at has 1 lat pull down machine for the entire gym. They have 700 bikes though so I guess you can do that. Might need to look for another location.
