An image (with pollution) is worth a thousand words: Leicester then and now

   I am not sure that global warming is caused by pollution. (This is only 99.9% sure; there is still room for evidence.) But images like this one (Leicester 1950) think that it shouldn't give way to a discussion we need to behave responsibly, protect the environment, reduce pollution. Of course, developed States have a greater responsibility than the rest of the world, and the United States above all. But I remember a short visit to a Central European country many years ago, when I hit a truly apocalyptic landscape. The image of Leicester would have seemed brilliant in addition to the red fog there. Video: Residential districts of Leicester today, built on former industrial zones

The Geography Hub platform has produced an extremely extensive series of reels dedicated to some of the most famous cultures in the world (predominantly from Europe and the Mediterranean). The videos very briefly tell the history of each population, with some of the most important moments, recreating for each of them, frugal, the characteristic clothing of each era (and specific to the respective culture) and an architectural-anthropic environment, also localized and contextualized historically.

  A building in Istanbul is so old that it has captured all the empires that have mastered this city. It's not just a simple — construction it's a veritable time capsule where history has laid layer upon layer over centuries. From Rome at present, in one wall At the base of the building you can see elements typical of the Roman Empire: thick stone walls and massive columns, reminiscent of the era when the city was called Byzantion and was part of the vast empire of Rome. Byzantine marks over the Roman ruins Immediately above it rises structures with elegant arches and specific details of Byzantine architecture.

“Gender Theory” – from keyword research to semantic hijacking

 Fragment from an article that examines the phenomenon of semantic hijacking and discursive capture, processes through which political groups, particularly extremist ones, redefine words and concepts to promote their agendas and polarize society. These practices, which have historical roots, are amplified in the digital age through SEO techniques such as keyword research, keyword density, and authority-building via links. Examples include the hijacking of terms like "woke" or "elite" and the monopolization of debates on topics such as migration or LGBT rights. The authors emphasize the impact of these strategies on public discourse, the vulnerability of artificial intelligence to manipulation, and the risk of communication breakdown in society. The conclusion highlights the need to understand these mechanisms to counteract their harmful effects and preserve democratic dialogue.
