¿Quién no ha tenido que diseñar un curso para una organización en un formato que claramente no es el adecuado para idearlo?

Llámalo plantilla en una hoja de cálculo o un índice para hacer el programa (syllabus) de un curso… o acabar haciéndolo “por fuera” y luego copiándolo al formato estándar.

Un dato que sorprenderá a mucha gente.

La relación entre nueva vivienda construida y aumento de precios es muy débil en la UE.

Eso no quiere decir que no haya que construir cuando hay carencias de oferta. Quiere decir que, además, hacen falta otras medidas para reducir precios.

“Here’s the thing, Bill Gates: There’s no ‘patch’ for the climate crisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop digging—and burning—fossil fuels.” — @michaelemann.bsky.social
You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

«Every city is built on the decomposed dreams of its previous inhabitants, the material breakdown of obsolete social relations, the nutritive remains of sometimes abandoned, sometimes destroyed, ways of life.»

En este sentido, cabe señalar que el período comprendido entre el 8 y 17 de agosto fue el conjunto de diez días consecutivos más cálido registrado en España desde, al menos, 1950.

De los 20 períodos más cálidos, cinco corresponden a la reciente ola de calor y 15 se han vivido desde 2022.

La ola de calor de agosto de 2025 tuvo dieciséis días de duración. De hecho, los primeros veinte días de agosto de 2025 constituyeron el período 1-20 de agosto más cálido desde, al menos, 1961 en el conjunto de España.

«One of the most profound and sustained ways in which we are in a relationship with other people is just by living near them and sharing the physical systems we use to meet our needs.»

@debcha.bsky.social on infrastructures and the way we want to live together in planet Earth.
I think of fossil fuels as humanity’s “black start” — they bought us the ability to figure out renewable energy technologies. But it’s just dumb — expensive, polluting — to keep the diesel generator running once the lights are on.

«Literacy is not just a skill, or a right, or a cultural inheritance. It’s a complex technology—historically contingent, unevenly distributed, and neurologically fragile. To understand what’s at stake, we have to examine its origins, the struggles that shaped it, & the ecological niche it occupies…»
"our society selects for the affordances of a medium—speed, ease, efficiency—not for its effects. And it is the effects of literacy that hold its civilizational value. [Those] deep cognitive and ethical capacities are not being selected for. They are not easily monetized or optimized."

I read so many essays on AI's biases + dangers — particularly re: its applications in governance — and think: if you swapped "big data" for "AI," this very essay could've been written 10+yrs ago. In fact, this same essay was written, 100x, 10yrs ago. The think pieces perpetuate the ahistoricism.
