The Day Mayor Buzzford Discovered Wi-Fi

It was on a sunny morning — with a side of electromagnetic interference — that Mayor Buzzford, a man known for grand speeches and outdated paper memos, decided it was time to modernize his administration. “We mustn’t lag behind the technocratic tides of progress!” he declared, frowning at the blinking router lights.

The Power Of Ignorance: When Stupidity Becomes A Global Strategy

By Maria Raquel

In a time where misinformation thrives and facts fade, nothing is more valuable to a politician than sounding stupid — as long as it’s intentional. Ignorance has become a tool, disinformation a policy, and crudeness a political currency. It’s no longer about being unprepared. It’s calculated. “Mistakes” have become strategy.

When The Label Speaks Louder Than The Cause

By Maria Raquel

Something feels off in today’s feminist discourse. On one side, there’s undeniable progress in the fight for women’s rights and equality. On the other, a moralistic, caricatured version of the movement often used as a shield for behavior that’s anything but emancipatory — and sometimes not even ethical. Feminism, at its core, is about equality and dismantling structural machismo. But like any powerful banner, it’s vulnerable to distortion and misuse.

What’s The Point Of Teaching?

By Maria Raquel

Amid memorized formulas, timed tests, and rigid curricula, one question keeps slipping through the classroom windows: what’s the point of teaching? The answer seems obvious — but it’s not. In many schools around the world, teaching is still confused with the mechanical transmission of content. And that comes at a cost: students leaving school without knowing how to think, communicate, make decisions, or create.

Freud And The Cabaret Couch – With Extra Repression, Cigars, And Glitter

By Maria Raquel

Freud didn’t just interpret dreams — he *slept with them*. And let’s be honest, he probably woke up in a sweat. Because to talk that much about desire, repression, impulses, and every complex imaginable, your unconscious had to be hotter than a Viennese dance floor.

Between Aliens And Algorithms: The Conspiracy Market

By Maria Raquel

They’ve always existed, but now they have YouTube channels, verified profiles, graphic t-shirts, and even a line of organic skincare. Conspiracy theories have left the basement of fringe discussions and stepped into the spotlight of social media. From vaccines allegedly implanting chips to reptilian celebrities, what was once dismissed as marginal delusion has become entertainment content — and, in many cases, a highly profitable product.

When The Sky Writes Us A Note

By Maria Raquel

When May arrives, all you need to do is look up to see that the universe has its own way of writing poetry — in the form of luminous streaks. The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, one of the most anticipated of the year, lights up the sky with fragments left by the famous Halley’s Comet. The phenomenon peaks between May 5 and 6, but it can be seen a few days before and after. And contrary to popular belief, no telescope is needed: just a dark place, clear skies, and a bit of patience.

Cabaret — Edition Nº1 The World Spins, The Powerful Stumble. The Audience Applauds — And We Sip And Report.

By Maria Raquel

Trump and the Constitution: will they or won’t they? Donald Trump rekindled his toxic relationship with the Constitution this week. In an interview, he said he’s “not sure” whether he’s obligated to respect it — especially when it comes to immigrants. You know, light stuff, like “this clause annoys me, I’ll just ignore it.” As for a third term, he said he’s not “seriously” considering it. He just daydreams about it — like opening a vineyard or texting an ex. No coup here, just a casual fantasy.

Pamphlets That Brought Down Empires

By Maria Raquel

Before angry tweets and viral posts, the most feared weapon of the powerful was simple: paper and ink. Pamphlets, manifestos, and underground newspapers, poorly formatted and glued to walls, had the power to ignite revolutions with just one misplaced comma.
