Fast politics and Roast
I would like to write about the wonderful colors of the autumn maple, about the emptiness left by the dead companion, about the diluted look of the child who first went to school. I want to write about that. But I can't.
I cannot look elsewhere, or remain silent about what is happening.
Newspaper covers and news titles tell me that it is urgent to write about another topic. Politicians have been instructed how, when, how much and how often they have to speak. They want me to become a mere spectator or reader with the right to vote every so often. Live broadcasts on television have polluted the policy. Video politics has devoured the extensive discourse of the plaza.
Fast politics. In the short term. Deadlines under threat. Current decisions. Direct spontaneous reactions neas.Errores. The media knows very well that to attract our attention there is nothing like the narratives of all time: from the beginning to the end of the climax, the good and bad characters, the action, the suspense, the tension.
Russian roulette. Two weapons. In one, the unilateral declaration of independence. On the other, a blank cheque with number 155. Two men looked at each other. The hand waiting for someone to move before. All on deadlines to lengthen the show. Everything was in order.
Fast thinking. Quick thinking. Mild. Immediate opinion, interpretation, assessment. The patient is about to die and has already undergone autopsy. More than a post-truth, a premonition. Meanwhile, the most expert experts speak and speak constantly on television, radio… Rigorous political analysis, high-level studies to the extent of a television program or a radio program. Whatever you want.
And when I had to write that the logic of the media has raged politics! The politicians of the Council of Ministers of a government have decided to release the communication I love: they will ensure “true, objective and balanced information” in the public audiovisual media, as well as “a political, social and cultural plurality”. Wow, it was time! Both public and private...
There have been reports of this kind of intention here and there: journalists, reporters, information advice… Then I woke up. How is it possible that journalists are opposed to real, objective and balanced information? After these fine words, both politicians and communicators have understood the dark threat that lurked them. Meaning in the voice, the subserpent of words, whispering. Why write, what to read, what to talk about, if we lose the value of the word? In the end, I've come back to the initial idea. I look back at Astigarraga. It's no longer colored. I don't know if the fires are calcined or the winds are freezing. That is what has left the strong wind of this autumn.

The girl who appears in the center of photography, which can hardly be considered historical, is writing a list of adjectives: I, you, he, we, you, they. Looking down, I couldn't see what his gaze looked like.

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
The end of the Syrian Arab Republic has caused great surprise at the way in which it has taken place: fast and almost without resistance. However, it is not so strange when we consider that the country was destroyed, impoverished and trodden. Most Syrians have long been... [+]
