"CODERE, MONTORO Y UNA JUEZA DE MADRID
En el año 2017 la trama corrupta en el ministerio de hacienda del PP con Montoro acabó archivada en un juzgado de Madrid.
La juez Patricia Jiménez-Alfaro Esperón archivó la causa porque no vio delito en la actividad de Estudio Económico.
Hoy sabemos por la investigación del juez de Tarragona que #CODERE pagó 679.000 euros a la consultora de #Montoro para que le hicieran leyes a medida.
¿Quién es uno de los altos directivos de CODERE? José Antonio Jiménez-Alfaro Esperón.
Sí, la JUEZA que archivó el caso sobre Estudio Económico ES LA HERMANA de uno de los directivos de la empresa que pagaba sobornos a la consultora."

In response, Maçães wrote: “Not sure what to call this. Psychologically it’s a mental disease. Politically it reminds us of the old European fascism like nothing else since then.”

The exchange followed a wave of powerful Israeli airstrikes that hit Damascus on Wednesday, 16 July. According to Syrian state media, the attacks targeted the Syrian defence ministry, military headquarters, and areas close to the presidential palace.

I'm thinking about how to make high rigidity complex (complex meaning lots of surfaces, holes, etc) parts at home.
Idea:
3d print multi-part assemblies which have:
1. Internal pockets that can receive rectangles of cut granite tile for rigidity, and/or metal plate that has been burned to shape on a CNC plasma cutter.
2. A hollow inside with fill and vent ports for casting
Then after assembling the part with all of the granite and/or steel support structures, you pump epoxy granite paste in through the fill port, forcing all of the air out through the top vent ports.
The result will not be precise, but it will be fairly rigid, and if you require precise surfaces, you can clamp ground metal parallels into a jig which holds them in the correct orientation, and then use more epoxy to glue the main assembly onto those metal parts.

Just revisited (Shakira - La Tortura ft. Alejandro Sanz](tube.matrix.rocks/w/kKF8qjcPbJ…) and it still hits as hard as ever! As a long-time fan of Shakira, I’m always amazed by the raw energy and chemistry on display in this classic.
Released in 2005 from Shakira’s album "Fijación Oral, Vol. 1," "La Tortura" became an anthem for Latin pop and reggaeton fans worldwide. The song dominated the charts, spending an incredible 25 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks and holding the top spot in Spain. Its global impact was massive, with chart appearances in over a dozen countries and more than 329 weeks in various international chart rankings!
The music video itself is iconic - Shakira’s passionate sexy latina dancing and emotional storytelling, paired with Sanz’s heartfelt vocals, created a new standard for Latin music videos. Fun fact: "La Tortura" was the first Spanish-language music video to be featured on MTV’s Total Request Live, breaking language barriers and bringing Latin music to a global audience.
What I love most is being able to watch this on tube.matrix.rocks, an ad-free, tracking-free PeerTube instance. This platform prioritises privacy and is part of the My Privacy DNS project, upholding fundamental human rights and online privacy as detailed in their Human Rights and Online Privacy article. It’s a breath of fresh air to enjoy legendary music without being bombarded by ads or having my data collected.
Do you remember when you first heard "La Tortura"? How do you think it compares to today’s Latin hits? Share your favorite memories or moments from the video below—let’s celebrate this classic together!

What a treat to watch "La Tortura" with the Shaketon Remix on a platform that actually respects our digital rights! For those who don't know, tube.matrix.rocks is part of the My Privacy DNS project, championing our fundamental right to privacy while we enjoy great music.
"La Tortura" was an absolute phenomenon when it dropped in 2005 on Shakira's "Fijación Oral, Vol. 1" album. The chemistry between Shakira and Alejandro Sanz is off the charts! This collaboration dominated Latin music charts, spending a record-breaking 25+ weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, and charted for over 329 weeks worldwide, ranking #1 in Spain and dominating Latin airwaves everywhere.
Fun fact: It was the first Spanish-language music video to air on MTV's Total Request Live!
The iconic music video, with those famous black paint scenes and urban dance moves, revolutionized how Latin music was presented globally. Shakira's belly dancing mixed with reggaeton beats in the Shaketon remix version adds an extra layer of spice to an already caliente track!
What makes this viewing experience special is enjoying it on tube.matrix.rocks, where our personal data isn't being harvested while we groove to these Latin rhythms. That's real digital freedom right there!
