🧵ABRO HILO sobre la separación de Los Redondos desde la mirada del INDIO #IndioEterno

"Fuimos a la casa de Poli y Skay, a seguir conversando sobre las cosas de rigor que debían resolverse antes de una fecha. Porque ya teníamos una en camino, a tiro de piedra: el 8 de diciembre en el Club Atlético Unión de Santa Fe. La publicidad ya circulaba, las entradas estaban a la venta.

Lo que pasó esa noche me sorprendió. Puede que la embriaguez haya tenido que ver, estábamos medio picoteados… Veníamos hablando de los asuntos pendientes y salió el tema de los videos de Racing: aquellos que habíamos grabado con tantas cámaras y que algún día, cuando estuviésemos en las condiciones ideales, queríamos editar y posproducir."Image
"Yo llevaba años reclamando que se hiciesen copias del material, por cuestiones de seguridad: si se incendiaban o se inundaba el lugar donde Poli los tenía guardados —estamos hablando de enorme cantidad de casetes de formato U-Matic—, el material se iba a perder para siempre.

Al principio me daba pudor reclamar, no quería que pareciese que desconfiaba de algo, o de ellos. ¡Porque yo no desconfiaba! Mi planteo pretendía evitarnos problemas. No sólo en la eventualidad de una destrucción del material: si a alguien le pasaba algo —a ellos, por ejemplo, o a mí en el caso de haber sido el custodio—, reclamar a los herederos podía convertirse en una cosa engorrosa."Image
"Pero esa noche me puse más firme, porque ya habían pasado al menos dos años dándole vueltas al asunto. Siempre me decían: Sí, sí, tenés razón, lo más conveniente es hacer copias, no sea cosa que se arruine el material… Hay quien declaró que ellos se lo habían confiado al hijo de Poli, aunque con el tiempo Poli salió a decir que estaba bajo su custodia personal.

El hecho es que me di cuenta de que no tenían la menor intención de sacar copias y dejarlas a mi cuidado. Y la conversación empezó a subir de tono. Esa vez sí que grité. Me paré y le dije a Poli: ¿Quién te creés que soy, yo? ¿Uno de esos pelotudos serviles que te chupan las medias por las noches, en los boliches que frecuentan? Porque me seguía diciendo sí, sí, como si contase con que yo me olvidaría del asunto apenas cambiásemos de tema."Image

In 1987, Baba Adeleke bought land in Ibeju-Lekki.

It cost him ₦12,000.

He was a primary school teacher. It took him three years to save that money.

He built nothing on it. Just held it. Told his four children it was their future.

He died in 2019 believing he had given them something.

He had no idea what he had actually given them.

🧵 A thread.
Baba Adeleke was not a careless man.

He had a receipt from the seller.
He had a survey plan.
He had a family witness — his elder brother — who attended the purchase.
He had photographs from the day he first stood on the land.

For 32 years, he paid the Omo-onile levies.
He knew the caretaker by name.
He visited every two years, just to stand on it.

He did everything a man of his generation knew to do.

It was not enough!
Baba Adeleke had four children.

Tokunbo — the firstborn. An engineer in Abuja.
Sade — second. A nurse in Canada.
Femi — third. A trader in Lagos Island.
And Kemi — the last. A teacher, like her father, in Ibadan.

When he died in November 2019, they gathered for the burial.

The land came up on the second day.

It should have been a simple conversation.

It was not.

Tokunbo had done his own research.

Property prices in Ibeju-Lekki had exploded — the Dangote Refinery, Lekki Free Trade Zone, the new airport corridor.

Land that cost ₦12,000 in 1987 was now worth between ₦18 million and ₦25 million.

He presented this information to his siblings over dinner at the family house in Surulere.

Quietly. Carefully.

“We need to formalise this before someone else does,” he said.

Nobody disagreed.

Nobody understood what formalising it would require.

The bread, over 20 million Lagos residents and over 200 million Nigerians eat every morning is banned in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Not restricted.
Not regulated.
Banned.

NATURAL ingredients = flour, water, yeast, salt. That’s it.

No preservatives
🧵
It's called potassium bromate.

Added to commercial bread in Nigeria to make dough rise faster, look whiter, and feel softer.



Costs almost nothing to add. Classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer since 1999.Image
Here's what potassium bromate does in the body.

It generates free radicals that damage DNA in kidney and cardiac tissue.
Animal studies show dose-dependent tumour formation in the kidneys and thyroid.

It disrupts cellular oxidative balance which is the same pathway implicated in heart disease progression.

The bread isn't soft because it's good.
It's soft because it's been chemically treated.

David Lammy’s proposals to restrict the right to jury trial have been examined by the Justice Committee of the House of Commons.

And. Well. Um.

It’s *quite* the report.

I think it’s actually worse than politely scathing.

It’s embarrassing 👇🏼🪡🧵
First, they don’t understand why these proposals have been rushed forward in such a hurry. Why were they denied pre-legislative scrutiny? And wouldn’t a broader consensus have been better?

(Sidebar for backbenchers, hi guys: Burnham is encouraging a broader consensus…) Image
Second, they are not convinced that the Magistrates will be able to ‘cope’ (cope!) with the proposals. This is, to put it mildly, sub-optimal for measures that really do rely on an influx of cases to the Mags. The government’s target to ease this? ‘Unrealistic’ say the committee. Image

🧵Calling Israel a “European colonial project” may sometimes be ignorance. But it’s a lie.

Mizrahi Jews — who never lived anywhere but the Middle East for 2,500+ years — are the largest group in Israel (between half and ~61%).

They weren’t colonizers. They were ethnically cleansed from Arab lands in the 20th Century.

The colonial myth requires erasing them. 🧵Image
2/ These communities predated Islam by 1,500 years. They wrote the Talmud in Iraq. Maintained ancient traditions in Yemen. Formed a third of Baghdad’s population.

In 1948, nearly 900,000 Jews lived across the Arab world.

Today? Fewer than 10 remain in Iraq, Yemen, or Libya. Image
3/ The ethnic cleansing was systematic:

• Iraq’s Farhud pogrom (1941): 2,600 years of Jewish culture driven out.

• Egypt 1956: Jews given one suitcase, forced to “donate” everything, then expelled.

• Yemen, Libya, Syria, Morocco, Algeria: pogroms, property seizures, citizenship stripped.

Ancient communities liquidated in a few short years.Image

1/ En Chile ya hay nombre para esto: la “cuota Flores”. Un funcionario devuelve parte de su sueldo público a terceros vinculados a su jefe político. Camila Flores está siendo investigada por eso. Ahora aparece el mismo patrón con el senador Kusanovic. 👇 Image
2/ Un extrabajador de su oficina en Puerto Natales lo denunció ante la Comisión de Ética: despido injustificado y devolución forzada de parte de su remuneración a personas ligadas al senador, incluyendo a un medio de comunicación local.
3/ Kusanovic: “Nadie me informó. Yo no tengo antecedentes.” Pero la resolución lleva su nombre. La firmó Carlos Kuschel, entonces presidente de la comisión, el 10 de marzo de 2026.

we just literally had 40 MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS THUNDER, no rain just clouds & non-stop thunder.
I went to RECORD THAT (was quite audible), 80% of my recording was "static": electronic noise.😬

non-stop rumbling, 40 minutes. "noise" not rumble, not a natural event. 😬👀📡
among items on my CV is recording engineer.

so when I go to record an audible SOUND, yet instead what I get is WHITE NOISE,

them I REALIZE I'm "listening" to a STAGGERING amount of electronic interference, most of which is beyond the range of my recording device (iPhone).😬👀
very low range frequencies have insanely long wavelengths... none of which translate to "white noise", btw (which indicates SUBCARRIER INTERFERENCE at virtually ALL frequencies)

"thunder" instead operates on VERY LONG wavelengths, at insanely LOW frequency.

the 2 cant "meet"😬 Image
