It's an embarrassment that a cosmopolitan, progressive city still allows bullfighting. We need it gone. Most people in CDMX don't like it, and it's horrible animal abuse. Ban it forever. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/01/w...

Bullfighting Returns to Its Largest Arena. A Fight Over Its Future Goes On.
Bullfighting Returns to Its Largest Arena. A Fight Over Its Future Goes On.

After a nearly two-year ban, a legal ruling brought bullfights back to La Plaza México in Mexico City. But the fight continues after a federal judge again stopped the events.

New polisky article alert 🚨 @desarias.bsky.socialrdcu.be/ds81Q

Text of abstract: Mexico, like many other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean suffering persistent violence, has sought to shift its anti-narcotics and organized crime control policies to develop more effective responses to the crime challenges the country faces.  Building on research in Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica, and Mexico, this essay develops an analysis of crime as embedded within political, social, and economic networks that provide criminal activity with broad cross-sectoral support.  This cross-sectoral support for criminal activity, which can involve both official corruption but also social support from entrepreneurs and popular sectors, helps to sustain crime even in the face of evolving state policy.  We argue that different forms of crime control policy are affected in different ways by these illicit networks.  The essay identifies three forms of policy – market suppression, organizational suppression, and behavioral modification – and examines through case studies

My dad recently used Spanish tortilla as a taco filling ("taco de tortilla española!"), and it was delicious. More evidence for this theory.
