The culture wars, race wars, immigration wars, and gender wars serve as smoke screens, distracting from the one war that right-wingers don't want you to fight: the class war
My friend lent me two CD's from the late 60's, early 70's. I carefully listened to Herve Vilard and Salvatore Adamo. I loved their emotive voices and poignant songs. The combination of French and Belgian artists singing in Spanish adds a unique flavor to their music

Lifelong Communist Goes Mainstream in Bid for Chile’s Top Job
Chile’s leading presidential candidate Jeannette Jara is a communist. Not that kind of communist, she wants you to know.

It appears that Mrs. Jara has caved in to the reactionary forces of so-called democratic socialism. If that's confirmed, it's not the news you'd want to hear

Zohran Mamdani's success is resonating throughout the world. It's a story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story in Chile too, on November 16th.

'The Billion Dollar Code' is a great series - quick to watch, with a good level of tech details for nerds and some amazing attributes of the 90s tech scene. Playing now on Netflix. Highly recommended!

With all these night baseball games, I'm eating a lot of junk food. Tonight is the last game of the season, in time to get back to a healthy diet. I say goodbye to the baseball season with a bang - I got almond and raspberry cake and empanadas, and of course, red wine!

I watched a program on YouTube where Francisco Vidal was a guest. He's hilarious - he confirmed once again that he's the country's best bullshitter

I write little observations almost every day. I came across one about my oldest grandson, who likes Bad Bunny. When I asked him why, he answered that he's an anti-colonialist and stands with immigrants. Good for him, following the progressive thinking of the family

Last night I emptied the fridge - I ate everything that could've been eaten. It was a wild evening and early morning; I went to bed after 4 am. The stats say it all. Great game 3! I've ordered goodies for tonight's game 4
