La demanda por la prostitución lleva a esto.
“Las mujeres eran obligadas a ejercer la prostitución en viviendas controladas […] los responsables recurrían a coacciones e intimidaciones, llegando incluso a amenazar con matar a familiares de las víctimas.”

El cierre de la librería Pérgamo no es lo que parece. Los inquilinos buscan nueva sede y llevarse la marca tras registrar el nombre, sin conocimiento de las dueñas, que nunca subieron el alquiler, ni siquiera con arreglo a la subida del IPC elpais.com/espana/madrid/202…
At the end of the day, Brazil and Mexico are far too big and far too important to compare to the other Mickey Mouse countries in Latin America

We are beginning to see a zero sum tension between older generations who want higher spending allocated to pensions and who benefit from bloated housing prices because it gives them “equity,” and younger generations burdened with debt, stagnant wages, and inability to buy a home.

Europe's centrist parties are being hollowed out, and not just in France. Faith in democracy is declining.

Quiz: A French teacher costs ~€85k a year. How much of that goes to him?
~€37k (43%)
How much goes to paying retired teachers?
~€35k
French teachers see less than half of what they make because of the egregious French pensions.

Oh no I only get 5 weeks of vacation a year from the job where it's illegal to fire me, and all it leads to is a retirement where I'll make even more money somehow. I must loot this Gamestop for le liberté.
My book club met to discuss this book today. I can’t recommend it enough. I’d love to hear what @MonicaLewinsky thinks too.

Sally Rooney, author of ‘Normal People’ and ‘Conversations with Friends,’ says she is being forced to withdraw her books from being sold in the UK due to her support of the organization Palestine Action:
In a statement to The Guardian she said: “In July 2025, the direct-action protest group Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK. The following month, I wrote an opinion piece expressing my intention to go on supporting Palestine Action, which is not a proscribed or otherwise prohibited group here in the Republic of Ireland.
As a result, the fulfilment of contracts to publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence. After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK. I have made every effort to be honest with the public about my beliefs and intentions, and I am wholly prepared to accept the consequences.”
