Colocan publicidad sexista en la Atlixcáyotl : Lado B

Clasismo y sexismo suelen ir de la mano. En la cultura de la posesión, todo es un objeto.

Medicines of poor quality continue to proliferate because nearly all impoverished countries have little or no capacity to monitor the medicines imported into their countries. Investments — of technical capacity and money — are few and far between from the wealthy world.

The U.S. trade representative has made matters worse by negotiating numerous trade agreements that have increased medicine prices in poor countries by undermining the supply of low-cost generic medicines. Patients often buy falsified medicines because they cannot afford to pay high prices for legitimate products. As the trade representative continues to export strict intellectual-property rules that increase medicine prices, many more poor people will turn to dangerous medicines and other forms of inadequate health care.

Mi novia es increíblemente talentosa. Dibujó esto en un par de horas de aburrimiento. La amo y la admiro montones.

La racionalidad del amor

samnbk:

There is nothing rational about being in a relationship, betting on love. That is, of course, If you define rational as seeking out that which doesn’t harm you. Complicate your life. Change. A relationship is complicated. Requires work. It is inevitably going to face death: the death that change implies. A life that wasn’t. A life that used to be, but now isn’t. But what’s ridiculous is not this notion of a relationship, but rather the notion of rationality: expecting that it could be any different. Expecting that it could be static. Frozen forever in time. It can’t. Love can’t. Life can’t. There will always be loss. Even in success. Even in happiness. Nothing is ever certain. No one is ever certain. That is a fact. Now, if one must learn to deal with this fact –which is for many, of course, a point of controversy–, what are the relevant questions one must ask? What are the type of solutions that one must design? When love becomes change, when love becomes loss, when love becomes death, love too becomes an enterprise. An adventure. A journey. An eternal construction. There’s is never a there, there. Except for a kiss. A smile. A glance of pride: we’ve made it this far. Want to go again? Love isn’t a picture, but a film. Many films. It’s many stories. Sometimes with the same person. Hopefully –many of us think– with the same person. It’s always ending, and it’s always beginning. It’s always becoming. Love is. Living is. That’s why it is about construction. Lessons learned. Memories acquired. Tasks surpassed. Projects completed. Wisdom. Empathy. Solidarity. Companionship. Imagination. The tools of emotional builders. Not because there is no destruction, but because even in destruction, one creates meaning. Love is the creation of meaning even in the face of destruction. Love is transcendence. It’s the ability to find beauty where there is none. Faith when darkness reigns. Life in death. Love.

Hoy es día del dominio público. Como diría @tumbolian, en México no hay nada que celebrar. De hecho, si vemos este mapa sobre copyright, México tiene la regulación más espeluznante: la vida del autor + 100 años a partir de su muerte.

Confieso que, hasta hace un año, Messi me caía de lo peor. Un poco más que Cristiano Ronaldo. ¿Por qué? No lo sé. Supongo que le tengo animadversión a lo abrumador. Pero esta temporada, quién sabe, comencé a verlo con mejores ojos. Vamos, que no quiero cerrar los ojos a mirar history in the making.

Los 91 goles de Messi en 2012. Colosal.

Esto es un MobileTrace. De acuerdo a la página web del fabricante:

“The first simultaneous dual-mode handheld detector, MobileTrace expands the range of target explosives you can identify in a single sample for faster, more comprehensive security screening. Morpho’s patented ITMS™ technology (Ion Trap Mobility Spectrometer) offers you the explosives and narcotics detection sensitivity and reliability proven at military bases, border crossings, airports, and other critical security checkpoints around the world.”

Me cuentan que éste podría ser el sustituto del GT200. Habrá que irlo investigando de una vez.

Honestamente, habría que darle el Premio Nacional de Periodismo al New York Times.

Algo pasó con los GT200

Algo extraño está pasando con el tema de los GT200. Hace una semana, Milenio publicó que la PGR ha cesado el uso de los detectores moleculares, e incluso, que ha abierto un expediente para investigar las irregularidades. Hoy, El Universal dedica una editorial a avisar que la NAS (Sección de Asuntos Narcóticos) sustituirá los GT200 a través de la Iniciativa Mérida.

Demasiada casualidad que todo se haga una vez terminada la gestión de Calderón. Algo me dice que a alguien se le acabó su negocio. La pregunta es a quién.
