Christer Sfeir wrote about his visit to Pézenas in southern France and described the Hôtel de Flottes de Sébasan, a stone house from the 16th century. According to local tradition, Anna of Austria, the queen of France and mother of Louis XIV, had stayed there during a visit, he wrote. Sfeir recounted that Anna was a Spanish princess who married Louis XIII in 1615 when she was 14 years old. After 23 years without children, she gave birth to her son Louis in 1638. When the king died five years later, the then four-year-old son became king and Anna regent. Sfeir wrote that the royal family was forced to flee Paris during the Fronde and that the rebellion later contributed to Louis XIV's decision to centralize power around himself. He also mentioned Molière's stay in Pézenas during the 1650s with his theater company, which received patronage from the Prince of Conti. Sfeir wrote that Molière encountered people and environments there that later became subjects of his satire. According to Sfeir, Louis XIV visited the city in 1660 and took over the reins of power the following year. He concluded by stating that the house still stood, despite the monarchy and its power struggles being part of history. #Pézenas #historia #Molière (translated)

Sergij noted that he does not intend to engage in a controversy with the person he referred to as the "billing Aristotle," but rather wants to point out that, according to his sources, Israel accounts for 41% of all imports of major armament systems in Europe over the past five years. Without imports from Israel, European defense, in his words, would be in serious trouble. https://t.co/ZLq8yVE7ID #obramba #Evropa #Izrael (translated)

Auguste Bardamu claimed that Karl Marx never paid Helene Demuth a regular salary, who had worked for over forty years for his family in exchange for lodging and food. He wrote that she took care of the laundry, meals, and children. According to Bardamu, Marx had gotten Demuth pregnant in 1851 and refused to acknowledge their son, Frederick. The author argued that Friedrich Engels publicly endorsed the paternity of the child at Marx's request, and then Frederick was placed in a poor foster family in London. He also claimed that Marx never gave her money and prohibited her from entering through the main door during visits to her mother. Bardamu added that Engels only revealed the true identity of the father on his deathbed. He concluded that Marx wrote "Capital" while Demuth worked in his home without payment. #Marx #Exploitation #LutteDesClasses (translated)

Gustavo Petro defended a proposal to desalinate seawater and pump it to Santa Marta from the north of the city using solar energy and batteries. He said that the supply would complement the water arriving by gravity from the Sierra Nevada, which, according to him, was no longer sufficient, and accused Abelardo of opposing the project as a megadrought was approaching. He also claimed that the proposal would bring drinking water to the northern Caribbean coast and questioned why the project was destroyed just as the installation was about to begin, without proposing an alternative. Petro compared Abelardo to Peñalosa and stated that the latter had replaced an underground metro with an elevated one, which, as he wrote, did not reduce average travel times and cost USD 7 billion to the Colombian people. He added that Bogotá had lost 12 years and continued to suffer from traffic jams, linking the project to the devaluation of developments in the northern savannah. In addition, he questioned the Sierra Azul mining concession, which, according to Petro, would extract copper and silver for Abelardo's foreign allies and affect the water of the Rancherías river and lands intended for food production. He argued that the priority should be to invest in drinking water for the northern Caribbean and accused Abelardo of depriving Santa Marta of water while he had never lacked it in his home in Florida, where Petro also associated him with Marcos and people he described as drug traffickers. He concluded by labeling those responsible as "professional scammers." #AguaPotable #SantaMarta #Desalinizacion (translated)

Greece has recovered a classroom more than 2,000 years old linked to the education of Alexander the Great, found in ancient Mieza and attributed to the Royal Gymnasium promoted by Philip II, where Aristotle taught young Macedonian nobility. #Grecia #Arqueología #AlejandroMagno (translated)

Tallis Gomes wrote that Brazil was experiencing a degeneration of democracy towards tyranny, a process that, according to him, Aristotle already described in "Politics" almost 2,400 years ago. Gomes stated that when the law ceased to govern, demagogues emerged and, later, tyrants. He said the country was facing a fork in the road: the consolidation of tyranny or the election of Flávio Bolsonaro. He also argued that right-wing candidates should withdraw their candidacies in support of democracy and the rule of law and appealed to Romeu Zema, Ronaldo Caiado, and Augusto Cury. #Democracia #Tirania #Política (translated)

The Rouse by China Miéville From the bestselling, award-winning master of uncanny fiction comes a defining work, twenty years in the making—a deeply moving, decade- and continent-spanning epic of personal grief, global tumult, and grim conspiracy. Maur’s life has been shaped by loss: an apparently ordinary tragedy. But in its aftermath arise deeper, stranger questions. Their answers may lie within the dark heart and darker history of an old soldier who shares Maur’s obsessions and who is violently pursued by the same unknown, unquiet forces. So begins a book unlike any other: at once an encyclopaedic and multitudinous saga of a bloody century and the intimate story of two lives, their loves, regrets, and secrets—and a terrifying journey into infinite mystery.

La seguridad del hemisferio tiene varias aristas en las que los gobiernos aliados trabajamos unidos por el bien de nuestros pueblos. La lucha contra la corrupción, cáncer de la Patria, es una bandera con la que estamos comprometidos los gobiernos de Colombia y de los Estados Unidos. Los inescrupulosos que defraudan al pueblo no pueden seguir disfrutando de sus pillajes, moviéndose libremente por el continente ni paseando con sus familias, mientras las sociedades a las que han desfalcado ven a sus niños sufrir desnutrición y falta de agua, y vivir en la miseria. La lucha apenas empieza; pronto se ampliará no solo en número, sino también en decisiones administrativas. La lista de la OFAC es otro camino para cerrarle la puerta a la impunidad y combatir la corrupción. ¡Firme por la Patria! ¡Que viva Cristo Rey! (A.D.L.E) 🇨🇴 🐅 #Seguridad #Corrupción #Colombia

ARREGOU? Flávio Dino submeteu a decisão dele sobre Nossa Senhora Aparecida ao Plenário do STF. Só que a decisão foi assinado DEPOIS da divulgação da informação de que Flávio Bolsonaro peticionou em um processo de Fux para que ele anulasse a decisão de Flávio Dino. Dino parece ter enviado a decisão ao plenário do STF para que garantir que sua decisão seja mantida e evitar uma nova guerra de decisões monocráticas, mas dessa vez com Fux. Flávio Dino chega ao ridículo de dizer que a "insegurança jurídica" da decisão de Mendonça, no TSE, pode levar "à censura em massa". Esse é o mesmo Flávio Dino que sempre ignorou que Moraes tinha literalmente um INQUÉRITO DAS FAKE NEWS, DESDE 2019, e que promovia censura DIA SIM E DIA TAMBÉM. Esse é o "moralizador das emendas parlamentares". Sempre disse que a visão de mundo de Moraes não era de "defesa da democracia", mas exclusivamente de questões patrimonialistas. O que o Sr. Vorcaro fez o favor de comprovar =) Agora, vou dizer sobre Flávio Dino: Dino nada mais é do que um juiz político e medíocre com complexo de superioridade. Não tem a obessão de ficar rico, como o coleguinha autoritário, mas detesta ser visto como uma pessoa de intelectualidade mediana. Daí o pobre Aristóteles ser colocado no meio de qualquer analogia e/ou comparação sem pé nem cabeça que Flávio Dino adora fazer. (PS: nada impede de Fux de anular a decisão mesmo assim.) #STF #Censura #InsegurançaJurídica

After I started to comment these atrocities, they now fill my feed every day. As I watch them, first I usually either cry a bit or swallow my tears, after which anger arises. This should happen with each and every one of you. There is no justification, why will allow this to #JusticeForAll #HumanRights #StopTheViolence #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweetprovided.

Aloitan tänään salkunhoitajana Aristoi Capital Managementissä. Hoidan yhdessä salkunhoitaja Antti Bergholmin kanssa uutta Aristoi Arvonkasvattajat -rahastoa. Arvonkasvattajat sijoittaa yhtiöihin, jotka ovat pääoman allokaation mestareita. Toisin sanoen rahasto sijoittaa yhtiöihin, joilla on meidän todentama taito sijoittaa kassavirtansa kannattavasti takaisin oman liiketoiminnan kasvattamiseen tai yritysostoihin. Sijoitusfilosofia pohjautuu arvosijoittamiseen "ostamme 50 sentillä yhden euron" -hengessä. Matka sijoittamisen parissa tähän pisteeseen on ollut jälkikäteen katsoen luonteva. Aloitin sijoittamisen sattuman kautta 2009. Äitini oli lainannut kirjastosta pörssiaiheisia kirjoja. Sain juuri omat kirjani luettua ja katselin pöydällä lojuvia pörssikirjoja. Mitähän noista voisi oppia, mietin. Samalla tilille oli kertynyt hieman säästöjä töistä sekä ennakkoperintöä. Korot olivat nollassa, inflaatio mietitytti ja tuottoa oli saatava. Pian säästöjen töihin laittamisesta tulikin intohimoinen vapaa-ajan harrastus ja syventyvä opinahjo. Historia on toinen harrastukseni. Yliopistossa opiskelin taloushistoriaa, mikä on tuonut valtavasti lisäperspektiiviä sijoittamiseen ja nykypäivän ilmiöihin. Historia on hieno harrastus, mutta työkseni en sitä kuitenkaan aikonut tehdä. Miten sitten päästä sijoitusalalle töihin? Vaikka takana on tuhansien tuntien vapaa-ajalla tehtyä opiskelua, paperilla se ei riittänyt. Onneksi törmäsin @Inderes:iin Hain Inderesille alunperin analyytikoksi keväällä 2016, koska muita paikkoja ei ollut tarjolla. En sillä kertaa saanut paikkaa, mutta tj @mikaelrautanen sanoi että pysytään yhteydessä. Sitten jo Nordea-ajoilta kaverini @PetriGostowski (nyt pääanalyytikkona Inderesillä) pääsi analyytikoksi. Pian hän vinkkasi, että nyt Inderesillä haetaan jonkinlaista somettajaa. Tässä oli tilaisuuteni: hain paikkaa, ja sain sen. Olen käynyt lukuisilla videoilla läpi Inderesin yhteisörakentamisen vaiheita, joten en kertaa niitä tässä. Olen kiitollinen melkein 10 vuodesta Inderesillä: rakensimme hienon sijoittajayhteisön. Minulle annettiin vapaat kädet tehdä sisältöä, mistä nautin suuresti ja se toimi yleisöllekin. Työ yhteisönrakentajana oli melkein 100 %:sti myös intohimoinen harrastus. Viime vuosina tiedostin, että sijoittamisesta puhumisen ja vapaa-ajalla sijoittamisen lisäksi olisi hienoa tehdä sitä työkseen. Sijoittaminen kahmaisi leijonanosan vapaa-ajasta, mutta etenkin perheellisenä vapaa-ajan prioriteetit muuttuvat. 2023 keväällä Berkshire Hathawayn yhtiökokouksessa törmäsin Aristoin tiimiin ja perheemme ystävystyivät Aristoin sijoitusanalyytikon Nikolaos Vlassiksen kanssa. Kävimme usein syömässä ja keskustelemassa intohimoisesti osakkeista ja liiketoiminnoista. Tänä vuonna nousi esille ajatus uudesta rahastosta ja ajatus minusta Antin kanssa salkunhoitajana siihen. Pitkän harkinnan jälkeen rahasto eteni ja minä ilmoitin olevani käytettävissä salkunhoitajan työhön. 2009 alkaneella sijoitustaipaleellani alkaa nyt uusi jakso. #sijoittaminen #rahastot #arvosijoittaminen

Marine Le Penová se připravuje na prezidentské volby ve Francii se zaměřením na pracující třídu, zatímco její rival Jordan Bardella, který je spojen s aristokratkou, naznačuje vnitřní rozpory uvnitř Národního sdružení, ale veřejný konflikt mezi nimi není na obzoru. #LePen #Francie #politika
