'Though completely eclipsed by Don Quixote, Cristalián de España, which was first published in 1545, has a unique claim to fame. Its 800 pages, bristling with swords, sorcerers, dragons and damsels, make up the earliest known work by a female Spanish novelist.' 1/2

These assignments encourage people to become DIY detectives, exacerbating a boom in conspiracy theories. The “permission structure of doubt” normalises suspicion as a default setting and suggests that another algorithm (like Google’s search) can discover the truth.

In an oven pan, put two pounds of of tomatoes or tomatillos or a mix , half a sliced onion, five garlic cloves in husk and if using, fresh jalapeños or serranos or habaneros. Or you can instead use toasted dry árbol. Remove garlic when roasted. Let everything else char, and blend, process or mash.
