Hyper-Imperialism is a militarized form of imperialism marked by the US's declining hegemony and growing reliance on military power and sanctions to maintain its dominance. This dossier remains a nice read for understanding current shifts in U.S. foreign policy.

Carta manuscrita de Margarida de Prades.
Per fer via escrius tu el missatge: feu cas del Joan, que ja pagarà el que dec. I signes de la teva mà. Però no n'hi ha prou per certificar la paperassa:

!["This fold-out woodcut from the book Dell’Historia Naturale depicts a room full of collection of natural objects. There is an array of animals and botanical subjects shown in the room, all of which were collected by Imperato himself. On top of the image, there is a variety of aquatic animal species along with an array of shells. Many cabinets (right), brimming with books, most likely containing field notes of Imperato's examination of his biological discoveries, art historians assume these books include his biological discoveries because their titles refer to specific classes of species and there are reports of Imperato in the field with books and writing utensils.[1] The image is very exact in the representation of objects. Fine lines allow for intricate details to be seen. The focal point of this print is the window in the center which leads the eye to the alligator. On the lower right of this image, there are four men examining this cabinet of wonders. The expressions on their faces display amazement and curiosity, and their body language suggests interest in the room itself. This type of cabinet of curiosity was very characteristic of the empirical scientific movement. There were collections of wonder cabinets around Europe that displayed objects from the natural world in a similar way." -Wikipedia](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkjqfvtcfakukddedpzrefm2/bafkreieqhypiulg33y25xan2cbvqtii7cp632czhageikwkapegb4n3t2e@jpeg)
