Why Invading Venezuela Matters

Latin America is part of the Americas. Let’s begin by acknowledging that. Unfortunately, it has often been treated as the forgotten backyard of the United States. The history of this region, marked by U.S. intervention and exploitation, is extensive.

Vibe Coding and the False Dream of “Effortless SaaS”

There’s a story being sold right now. It says that building software is no longer hard. That you don’t need to understand systems, architecture, or code.

Good Genes, Good Jeans: What Sydney Sweeney’s Ad Teaches Us About Bold Branding in a Woke Economy

Sometimes, the most powerful marketing message isn’t a loud slogan — it’s a simple statement that survives backlash. Sydney Sweeney said something perfectly ordinary in an ad campaign: “I have good genes — and good jeans.” In a different era, this would’ve been a throwaway line in a light-hearted denim commercial.
