Ahora que Mazón dimite, conviene recordar que hace unos meses la plana mayor del PP le aplaudió.
¿Qué ha cambiado de entonces hasta ahora? Este video representa todo lo que es este partido: cero principios, todo cálculo político...

"Even more disturbing is the co-optation of resistance infrastructure. ICERAID’s URL, www.iceraid.us, is nearly identical to www.iceraids.us, the website of People Over Papers, a community-led initiative that tracks ICE raids and protects undocumented communities."
ICERAID is a new platform that offers crypto rewards for border vigilantism.
It is a clear reflection of a broader system – one that criminalises migration, rewards suspicion, and expands enforcement through private tech and public fear.

AI is fuelling a new wave of border vigilantism in the US
A new AI app pays civilians to track people crossing the border – no training, no oversight, no rules.

western hyperindividualized cognitive dissonance
The Minnesota shooter who killed state Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t a lone wolf, insists a scholar of political violence.
And the myth of the isolated madman obscures the networked reality of far-right violence and makes it harder to prevent the next attack.

Violent extremists like the Minnesota shooter are not lone wolves
The lone wolf metaphor used to describe mass shooters misinforms views of extremists – and hampers law enforcement efforts to deter the violence.

Sospecho que uno de los motivos del éxito (relativo) de los LLM es que por ahora son capaces de reducir el efecto de años de basura acumulada en la búsqueda de Google por el SEO. Cuando la gente encuentre una forma de trampearlos volveremos al punto de partida: mierda por todos lados.

We’re seeing the consequences of military Keynesianism. The proliferation of military hardware supported the militarization of domestic police.
If a surplus of military hardware shows up in the first act, expect paramilitary violence by the third act.

Newsletter: The DeepSeek situation is a moment that should fill Silicon Valley with shame, a monument to the lack of vision and herd mentality of the American tech industry. OpenAI and Anthropic have no moat, no business, no innovation, and I believe no future.
