Christmas fruit punch is an infusion that is consumed in Mexico, traditionally in December during the posadas and on Christmas Eve, although there are also people who start consuming it from September for the national holidays and from November during the eve of the day of the dead (mainly in Mexico City and its metropolitan area).
It is prepared by boiling the ingredients in large quantities to be served during typical Christmas and winter gatherings. Traditionally, it is served very hot in individual clay pots with portions of fruit, and may or may not contain a spirit (often rum), which is added after boiling to prevent evaporation. One of the main ingredients, which gives it its blood-red color, is hibiscus water (made by boiling hibiscus flowers in water to release their red coloring). The basic fruits are apple, guava, and tejocote (Mexican hawthorn).
Mexican ponche may or may not contain alcohol and is served hot. The version with alcohol is called “ponche con piquete” (spiked ponche) because it has a “piquete” (spike) of tequila, rum, whiskey, red wine, or champagne, presented as a traditional hot infusion or as a cocktail.
This drink is commonly found at street fairs set up outside churches, where it can be enjoyed with buñuelos (fritters) or tamales. It is also sold at Christmas markets in Mexico during the famous Guadalupe-Reyes Marathon.
It is also traditionally consumed in Guatemala, even before the holidays. Fruits such as papaya, melon, and apple are used, along with sweeteners like sugar, honey, and/or cinnamon.}

Pro tip for electricity! Always touch with the back of your hand at the knuckles! If EVER in your lives you do touch high voltage, the back of the hand technique will cause your muscles to flex and pull your hand back to your face!! And trust me, you would much rather punch yourself in the face all of a sudden, than be HARD LATCHED onto some voltage
My university updated their internal IT system to use an AI search system, so now the search fully doesn’t work.
This is very annoying.
Goddamn w*sterners love genocide. Overheard on the train regarding Russia: “we should just build a wall around them and fill it with concrete, it’s all swamp anyway”. They continued to talk about how they hate them (them being Russians but remember, they hate the government not the people!) before pivoting to talking about how a lesbian can’t be a dictator (? I feel like I missed something here) and how if they were a dictator they would have an elected council of experts that they would elect
When i saw tiktoks of people in moving cars, i naively assumed that ‘oh, they’re probably in the passenger seat and someone else is driving the car’
Nope. Thats the creator operating a 3000lb machine while filming a tiktok.
Nice to see the Whitehouse adopting maoist standard English
Finished a pretty spicy marxist essay for my studies today and feeling a bit nervous if it will even pass, I wasn’t kind on the field I’m in.
Openly stated that I consider the poststructuralist and postmodernist focuses in the field to be fully in line with the ruling class and emitting an end of history vibe, meaning that they acknowledge the issues of capitalism and leave them untouched. That the never-ending preoccupation with “power” just muddies the waters on who actually only has power (control) over how we all live and who doesn’t. A whole lot about alienation too and the psychosocial framings of it that place all the responsibility on the individual.
Every day I grow more disillusioned by Western academia and care less about saving face within it.
HR was 40 minutes late to the anti-union meeting they were hosting lmao.
I’ve learned some new economic lingo today.

“We don’t think the bubble framing is that useful at this stage for investors,” Jean Boivin, head of the BlackRock Investment Institute, said.
Glad that’s settled 😌
A university professor told all his students to bring in a fruit or a vegetable with their name written on it. He then gathered all of them in a big plastic vat, and started beating them with a hammer, just absolutely going to town on all fours. The students looked confused, but then the professor said “the lesson here is that I am coming for all of you fuckers and there is nothing you can do to stop me”
