The IISS has produced the most comprehensive open-source database currently available on Russian sabotage operations across Europe and its periphery. It captures the full spectrum of activity with physical effects: from sabotage on undersea cables to GPS blocking across multiple domains and geographies.

Por años, el argentino Raúl Martins hizo de Cancún su feudo de explotación sexual con ayuda de Los Zetas. Le apodaban "Rey del Burdel" hasta su detención en 2019. Ahora, inexplicablemente, un juez le concedió volver a Cancún. Mi texto para @Milenio: milenio.com/policia/raul-mar…

Sexual assault survivors like me seek justice as a sign of strength. Few of us end up winning Victims don’t report because the legal system is stacked against them. It protects perpetrators and further traumatises victims theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Since Calderón launched an army offensive on cartels in 2006 the total homicide count in Mexico has now topped 500,000! An intel unit estimated 60% of deaths were by cartels or security forces "fighting them." How can we frame this hybrid armed conflict↓ crashoutmedia.com/p/what-are…

This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️ Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online. They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement posts and watched their cognition collapse: - Reasoning fell by 23% - Long-context memory dropped 30% - Personality tests showed spikes in narcissism & psychopathy And get this even after retraining on clean, high-quality data, the damage didn’t fully heal. The representational “rot” persisted. It’s not just bad data → bad output. It’s bad data → permanent cognitive drift. The AI equivalent of doomscrolling is real. And it’s already happening.

Cuautla, Capital of Extortion How did the touristic state of Morelos become the 2nd most murderous in Mexico? I went to Cuautla to find out, whizzed about with a cop reporter and talked to victims of extortion. Things decayed under Gov Cuauhtémoc Read↓ crashoutmedia.com/p/cuautla-…

He made it up. One case and he called it Stockholm Syndrome. No peer review. Just one male psychiatrist and his misogyny labeling and diagnosing women with a faux syndrome @thecrimeanalyst
There’s no such thing as Stockholm Syndrome. A male psychiatrist made this up based on one case. It’s utter nonsense. Women are very active in our own risk management EVERY SINGLE DAY because of men. It’s survival.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/germany…

“Sabrina Delgado Mendoza (Durazno), miembro de Cenotes Urbanos, recorre cuidadosamente un conocido sistema de cuevas a las afueras de Playa del Carmen llamado Río Secreto, una región donde el mundo subterráneo es tan impresionante como delicado. Estas cuevas y cenotes tienen no sólo aguas cristalinas, sino también algunas de las formaciones de cuevas más espectaculares y prístinas que he visto nunca. Suspendidas por encima de su cabeza hay estalactitas, estructuras minerales delgadas creadas durante decenas (posiblemente cientos) de miles de años por nada más que unas gotas de agua dejando pacientemente atrás capas microscópicas de carbonato de calcio. Cada curva y contorno de estas formaciones es el producto de procesos geológicos tan lentos y precisos que no se pueden replicar en una vida humana. Una vez rotos o perturbados, se pierden para siempre. Más allá de su belleza geológica, los cenotes y las cuevas son embalses vitales de agua dulce, directamente conectados al vasto acuífero subterráneo que sostiene la vida en toda la península de Yucatán. Durante la próxima semana más o menos, compartiré una foto al día de este viaje, cada imagen despegando otra capa de este desastre medioambiental, y el legado cultural en riesgo de ser enterrado bajo acero y hormigón. Esto no es solo una historia sobre un tren ilegal. Se trata de lo que elegimos preservar y lo que estamos dispuestos a sacrificar.” (Robbie Shone, fotógrafo del National Geographic) @RobbieShon89216 @SelvameMX @CenotesUrbanos @SEMARNAT_mx @CONANP_mx @PROFEPA_Mx #TrenMaya #NationalGeographic #Cenotes #Yucatán #MotherNature #pollution #EnvironmentalDisaster

A staggering number of Mexican mayors have been brutally killed in the past few years—and there’s no end in sight. What’s going on? @oscarlopezgib reports. thenation.com/article/world/…

My piece today in the NYT. I argue bombing cartels in Mexico won't work because they are sprawling networks with thousands of affiliates on both sides of border and you would only scratch surface and make it politically impossible for Sheinbaum to continue with such cooperation.
