Don Ricardo Salinas Pliego stated that, without the intelligence and vision of Doña Marina, the meeting between Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma would have been impossible. In a publication by ColeccionesRSP, he highlighted an anonymous portrait of La Malinche, in which she appears with necklaces and clothing of European style and points with her right hand to an open pre-Hispanic codex. Salinas Pliego described her as a brilliant woman and strategist, and invited the public to see the work in the exhibition "Cabinet of Curiosities" at the University of Liberty gallery. He also shared links to register and consult the library's collection. https://t.co/BnOwsrpwrB #LaMalinche #HistoriaMexicana #Cultura (translated)

Jairme wrote that, unlike in 2018, he was happy with the mobilization he saw. He said he observed people dedicating part of their limited time to act and streets full of people defending the country, not a fantasy that it would be dominated by Trump. In the author's assessment, the group had shone. #Felicidade #Mobilização #DefesaDoPaís (translated)

Nicolas Redondo Terreros stated that, until the voting on November 29, signals would be presented to make it seem that Pedro Sánchez could win, although, according to him, the president was already considering an electoral defeat as certain. He claimed that Sánchez had silenced the Federal Committee and that his kiss with his wife diverted attention from maneuvers that, in his opinion, were emptying the PSOE and preparing lists of deputies loyal to the president. Redondo Terreros said that the agreement with the left of the F.A. aimed to limit the increase of the PP's absolute majority in the next legislature. He also warned that a "silence of the cemeteries" was being prepared in the PSOE and urged critics of Sánchez to express themselves. He presented the elections as a choice between a Spain marked by hatred and confrontation and another that, as he wrote, had been built and inherited by different generations. He accused Sánchez of disregarding the membership, the party's initials, and its history, and of focusing solely on himself. #PSOE #Elecciones2023 #Sánchez (translated)

RADIO ARC 101:“EDICOLE, “RAZZE IN ESTINZIONE” COME I BAR: SOLDI PERSI E SPERANZE DA STANFORD” by NANDO SILVESTRI SOURCE: https://radioarc.it/edicole-razze-in-estinzione-come-i-bar-soldi-persi-e-speranze-da-stanford/ Le edicole sono un altro scrigno di umanità e conoscenza per molti versi simili ai bar, almeno per quanto concerne l’infausto epilogo che riguarda molte di esse. L’odore di carta stampata, di cartoncini colorati, copertine variopinte, buste a sorpresa e cellophane, era una melassa olfattiva che un tempo inebriava grandi e piccini e rappresentava, al contempo un’ ambita meta di passeggiate e pause giornaliere. Passare per l’edicola significava attingere alla conoscenza, allo svago, alla cultura, alla fantasia e alla creatività. Tutte prerogative perse a causa dei surrogati informi e amorfi diffusi dal web. E’ questo il motivo principale della chiusura cunulata e ricorrente di moltissime edicole italiane: in economia si parla di comparto a caduta della domanda. Ma non chiude solo un’edicola, chiude un pezzo di economia locale e nazionale. Da 35000 edicole nel 2005 a circa 20000 nel 2024: -43%. Con loro se ne va un fatturato diretto di oltre 400 milioni l’anno, ma il vero buco è l’indotto che non si calcola mai. Ogni edicola media in un paese generava distribuzione per 15000€/anno di margini per distributori locali, corrieri, tipografie. Inoltre, il cliente che comprava il giornale prendeva il caffè, il biglietto del pullman, la schedina. Write on Medium Si deve pensare che senza edicola, il cinema di paese perde il suo unico punto promo fisico, senza parlare delle perdite in materia di pubblicità. Quando chiude, non perde solo l’edicolante. Perde il bar, perde l’autista, perde il tipografo. In Irpinia negli ultimi 5 anni Avellino ha perso 6 edicole, Ariano Irpino 3, Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi 2. La perdita totale in Irpinia ammonta a circa il 22% di punti vendita. Tutto ciò significa che molte delle chiusure succitate hanno sottratto ai bar irpini diverse decine di clienti danneggiando lavoratori, distributori e fornitori. Sono posti di lavoro che non fanno notizia, ma esistono. Un altro duro colpo inferto all’economia locale e nazionale in nome di un finto progresso che favorisce quasi sempre gli affari dei faccendieri e dei soliti noti. Tuttavia, ciò che accade in Puglia, a pochi chilometri dall’Irpinia, apre scenari di rinnovamento basati proprio sulla riconversione delle edicole dismesse. Si tratta di prospettive talmente uniche ed innovative da aver suscitato l’interesse di tutto il mondo, in special modo dell’Università di Stanford. Si tratta di notizie di enorme portata che pochi notiziari hanno divulgato in nome di una perenne prelazione delle tecnologie sprezzanti di buonsenso, tradizioni e arte. A San Severo (Foggia), a 40 km dall’Alta Irpinia un’edicola abbandonata da 6 anni in via Matteo Tondi è diventata il 27 marzo 2026 il Teatro-Edicola Foyer’97: 6 sedie, 4mq, idea di Francesco Gavino. Gli apprezzati spettacoli di 10/15 minuti hanno incuriosito l’università di Stanford. La sua rivista accademica Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), ha scelto il Teatro Edicola di San Severo come caso di studio internazionale con il reportage “The Six-Seat Revolution”. Perché Stanford ci guarda? Perché ha capito che quei 4 mq possono tornare a generare indotto. Difatti, 60 spettatori in un pomeriggio possono diventare 60 caffè al bar vicino. Con un biglietto simbolico di 5€ si parla di micro economia culturale. Senza contare l’indotto di turisti e giornalisti che arrivano e frequentano B&B e ristoranti. È il modello che serve all’Irpinia: non lasciare il buco, ma riconvertirlo virtuosamente. Ogni edicola chiusa può diventare info-point, micro-cine, box servizi. Altrimenti continuiamo a contare solo le saracinesche abbassate, senza contare i soldi che non girano più.

Froilán, from Barrio Sauna, stated that the PSOE had appointed Rebeca Torró as spokesperson, whom he linked to the Koldo and Cerdán cases. He also questioned how the allegations of harassment against Paco Salazar presented by party workers had been managed. The author also criticized the pool of leaders in the PSOE and said, ironically, that the party always chose people who met its expectations. #PSOE #Política #España (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari wrote that Sanna Marin had been in Italy promoting her book and told Corriere della Sera that she would likely not run for office unless Russia attacked Finland. In that case, according to Huhtasaari, Marin would have said she was available. Huhtasaari interpreted the statement as positioning herself rather than expressing a willingness to be a victim. According to her, Marin implied that conventional political work did not match her capabilities and that only a crisis threatening Finland's existence would be a sufficiently significant task. Huhtasaari compared this to the scale of historical leaders such as Kekkonen, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Lee Kuan Yew, and George Washington, using the metaphor of the "Napoleon syndrome" to describe the phenomenon. She specified that she did not mean it as a diagnosis. Huhtasaari also criticized the contradiction between Marin's book discussing hope and the self-image conveyed in the interview. She argued that the role of politics was to build structures that functioned without a single politician. As examples of such builders, she mentioned Lee Kuan Yew, who influenced Singapore's development, and Mart Laar, who made economic and institutional decisions in post-independence Estonia. Huhtasaari believed that there had not been similar builders in Finland for decades and that Marin did not belong to their ranks. According to Huhtasaari, statesmen did not announce in advance when they would return to politics, but either did their job or stepped aside. She criticized Marin for traveling to present her book, which discussed decisions made behind closed doors, and for associating a potential return with Russia's attack. Huhtasaari described this as a fantasy of seeing herself as a historical exception. #SannaMarin #Politiikka #Historia (translated)

Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

Daddy Yankee presented *La Postal*, a conceptual album of 15 songs that, as he explained, addressed real human experiences of love and not an idealized version. He said that each song functioned as a letter dedicated to different ways of loving, including romantic, familial, and self-love. The artist pointed out that the first single, "BOTZ", highlighted the power of a kiss. He also described the album as a gesture meant to communicate something that a text message could not express. He indicated that *La Postal* would be released on October 30, 2026. #Música #Álbum #Amor (translated)

Jones Manoel said he granted an interview to Folha de São Paulo in which he commented on the position of the re-elected governor of Pernambuco, Raquel Lyra. According to him, her neutrality in the second round objectively favored Flávio Bolsonaro, and if he won, Pernambuco could suffer persecution and a boycott because of its political and ideological composition. Manoel also stated that Lyra had been re-elected with votes from both Lula supporters and Bolsonaro supporters and said that the idea of a "Pernambucan" identity could be left in the past. For him, neutrality was detrimental to Pernambuco and Brazil. #Pernambuco #política #Brasil (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that communism was a program and a political action, not an identity, aesthetic, or fantasy. He said he had been elected defending the Brazilian Revolution, socialism, and popular power, and that, before his election this year and that of other comrades, like Elias Jabbour, no one had reached the National Congress with a campaign focused on these themes. Addressing Cynara, Manoel said she should explain the electoral defeat of the progressivism she defended, which he classified as shameful, citing Haddad's result in São Paulo. #Socialismo #Revolução #Política (translated)
