Es asombrosa esa opinión generalizada de que la política, un aspecto fundamental del mundo del que depende literalmente la vida y el bienestar de la gente, es algo baladí y es mezquino pelearse por ello.
Dos de cada cinco españoles presenciaron o participaron en discusiones fuertes de política en la última Nochebuena o Nochevieja, y un 14% ha roto en el último año con amigos o familiares por discusiones políticas, según un estudio que mide la polarización

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

agree with this and think there's something v telling about people going "ooh but why are you on Bluesky it's irrelevant" - what if I don't really care about being relevant! the vast majority of people post on social media not because they want to be famous but because they enjoy it! just be normal!
the proximate reason i post here — beyond the fact that i like a lot of you and enjoy reading your thoughts and jokes and observations — is that this is a non-algorithmic platform where people share lots of stuff and people read what is shared. that's still valuable even if it doesn't "influence!"

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

Y los medios para lograr esto son un control del poder judicial (casos de lawfare contra Lula o Costa, o inacción frente a Trump tras el asalto al Capitolio de 2020); redes sociales con algoritmos que promueven ideas ultras (ver las elecciones en Rumanía o las redes de VOX en España) y sobre todo…

Tenemos que comprender que el arreón que ha pegado la ultraderecha en todo el mundo no responde a lógicas locales. Eso podría explicar giros en un país o dos, pero es un reordenamiento a nivel global que coincide con el tecnofeudalismo de las RRSS y con Billonarios comprando medios y elecciones.

Forma parte de la estrategia del gobierno ultra de Trump. Y en España no somos ajenos a esto. VOX es un partido en auge en las encuestas pese a no contar con una estructura orgánica territorial (¿conocéis a su candidato en Extremadura?), y estar salpicado de corrupción. Y son intocables en medios.

It's crazy how the internet has become the opposite of what I loved when I first arrived 30 years ago. It should be a tool for bringing people together and promoting understanding, not for division and ignorance.

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.
