What if it wasn’t a meteor? Already years before the dinosaurs were wiped off the face of the planet, Earth was going through some rough times.

Latinx

Write it, don’t pronounce it! When I lived in Mexico in the mid nineties, I loved seeing Latin@ used somewhere in writing. It told me Spanish is alive and well, and that folks were ready to have some fun with it. I don’t remember the exact sentence anymore, but it…

World War III

It’s here because we did not learn the lessons from WW I and WW II. Of course there were reasons for Germany to enter both wars in 1914 and 1939. The world was occupied by colonial empires (with Germany itself late at the game). The way the world was occupied…

Considering the origin, we are special in that we can consider the origin, agree? But… who are we, really? There cannot be a result unless there is an origin for that result. So, let’s paraphrase the question and make it better: Who were we? For sure, we are made of…

What will 2023 bring?

Doom or Vroom? Joy or Distress? Happy Holidays wherever you are. But… what will 2023 bring? Interestingly, it depends on where you live and what voting system is available to you. If you live in Winner-Take-All, better climb every ladder you see because the rung you are on right now…

The Rest of the World is…

Underneath Your Feet. We think about the world, and we may think it is out there, somewhere. But in reality, most of the world we live in is found underneath your feet. — You may have an app to scout the sky at night and see all planets and stars…
