The Cockfight is a story about injustice and redemption.

The sad part is that in many situations, there is or has been little remedy for the wrongs that have been perpetrated against innocent people.

Through Infopendium, a global, crowd-sourced internet encyclopedia, the editors influence the world. Freelance journalist Morgan Wentworth attends the Global Infopendium Conference in New York expecting a straightforward story to help pay the rent.

"Dveshdrohi" is a poignant exploration of the modern-day distances created by career moves, political debates, and the trivial arguments of social media. It reflects on how countless friendships have been tethered and torn apart by the demands of jobs in far-off cities, and how cherished relationships have unraveled amidst heated discussions. Unnoticed, we drift further from the people around us, losing ourselves in a world of religious, caste-based, and ideological divides, with tweets, memes, reels, and the relentless quest for virality.

Ilie Mario Rafael e doar un nume din dosarul pe care scrie cu litere mari «Cultura sfidării». De ce-l numește premierul într-o asemenea funcţie? Pentru că poate. Codrin Ștefănescu a lămurit deja dilemele pricinuite oamenilor onești de abuzurile puterii PSD. «Pentru că putem» e, din acest punct de vedere, o lozincă mult mai aproape de natura adevărată a partidului decât «Îndrăznește să crezi». «Pentru că putem» e o sinteză a bunului-plac și a dispreţului pentru lege, pentru normalitate și pentru respiraţia europeană a ţării. De ce păstraţi penali în funcţii publice? Pentru că putem.

Be “successful.” But Dee wants more—more purpose, more passion, more than checking off someone else’s boxes. A surprise gig leading eco-tours of ethical coffee farms in Costa Rica offers a fresh start.

The thesis of this story is that “because of the development of scientific knowledge, separate sovereign states and separate sovereign empires are no longer possible in the world. To attempt to keep on with the old system is to heap disaster upon disaster for [hu]mankind and perhaps to destroy our race altogether. The remaining interest of this book now is the sustained validity of this thesis and the discussion of the possible ending of war on the earth.”

Ma dietro questa apparente normalità si aprono delle crepe: sono in pochi a sapere che suo padre era un membro piuttosto temuto della criminalità locale.
