“Los gigantes estaban en la tierra en esos días, también fue después de esto que los hijos de Dios vinieron a las mujeres, y engendraron para sí mismos a los poderosos que desde tiempos antiguos fueron hombres de renombre”. (Génesis 6:4) Esta es nuestra primera publicación en este blog personal que oramos que sea de bendición para todos. Ya por el título imaginan que será sobre uno de los pasajes más enigmáticos de la Biblia, Génesis 6:1-4.

Despite every technological and business advance we’ve made in recent decades, hiring a car is still a sh!tshow. The rental process hasn’t changed in decades and typically goes something like this: you arrive at an airport and line up single-file at a rental counter. You patiently wait your turn, then fill out mountains of paperwork. Dozens of pages are printed and signed, and you’re forced to sit through an intentionally bamboozling upsell designed to trap you into buying their insurance products.

If you’re new to my newsletter, books, or social media, I collect email sign-ups by offering a very kick-ass Eat Happy meal plan and recipe sampler PDF.It has other stuff, but that’s mostly what people are after, and I don’t blame them. It’s fantastic. The people who find me have been on every diet known to man. They’re exhausted. They just want to be told what to do.

Last week, the New York Times published a major article detailing the brutal rape and murder of multiple women during Hamas’s attack on Israel. ‘Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7, Israel supporters seized on the story as inconvertible proof that Hamas brutally gang raped and tortured women and girls and that it was a top down directive from the leadership (who’ve denied it). They attacked the international community for failing to denounce rape.

Hello friends! It’s Friday, aka Hamilton Day on Disney Plus. In celebration, I took a look at my favorite song from Hamilton, and why it showcases everything the show does best. Let’s get into it ⬇️ “Satisfied” was the first song I ever heard from Hamilton way back in the day. At the time, I knew of the show, but my first real encounter with any of the music came in the form of an 8tracks playlist I was falling asleep to one night.

I was shocked, but not really, when the prominent right-wing Internet personality Richard Hanania was revealed yesterday to have posted white supremacist material for years, under a pseudonym.
