El régimen fascista de Donald Trump bombardea Venezuela porque PUEDE, de la misma forma que podría atacar a España, a Portugal, a México o a Canadá sin que nadie se atreviera a hacer nada al respecto. No necesita más excusas que su capricho o interés, esto es la ley de la selva. EEUU es la mayor amenaza global que existe contra nuestras vidas.

@tferrer celebrar la soberanía nacional porque otro estado acaba de bombardearte y secuestrar al jefe del tuyo también tiene su qué sé yo, ¿viste?

The book 'Qualityland' from Marc-Uwe Kling is realy a must-read.

It brings a futuristic story (in a funny way) about how a few corporations rule everybodies live. Where people get 'status points' on which they are judged in their daily lives, wrong or not.

At first I though 'nice futuristic story' , but then on a second thought, seeing the powers of american amazon, facebook, google etc in europe I though 'oh... it looks acurate now'.

Go check it out.

Recordemos que la parte relevante de cualquier comparecencia de Trump son los primeros diez minutos. Después se distrae y empieza a desbarrar como el Abuelo Simpson.

So when will any Western government call that brazen attack on a sovereign country what it is: an act of war in clear violation of international law and even the US constitution itself.

During the Iraq war I let people gaslight me into thinking I didn't know enough about "foreign policy" and "global politics" to say the war was a bad idea.

I would hesitate because, I'm not an expert on those things.

But I was right then and I'm right now.

You don't need to be an expert, it's not "so complex and best left to high level people." You know enough to see this makes no sense.

No voy a negar que un par de meses de paro me vendrían muy bien física y psicológicamente después de muchos años sin más de una semana seguida de vacaciones, pero por si acaso ya voy avisando: si alguien supiera de algún puesto para un ambientólogo con experiencia en la vigilancia ambiental y la calidad alimentaria, le agradecería que me lo comentara 😬👍🏻

Por alguna pirula entre el administrador y los del ascensor en la que no voy a entrar, tuvimos que dejar que instalaran una pantalla que muestra la previsión meteorológica (de alguna fuente malísima), fotos de naturaleza y arte y noticias, éstas últimas siempre de El Economista.

Pues bueno, en ese *gran medio de comunicación* el otro día vimos un titular que nos hace mucha gracia porque es un poco como el epítome de los titulares de prensa de los últimos 5 años. Lo tiene todo.

Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.

No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.

This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.

So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.

I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Just a reminder that you really should #BoycottFigma.

The fact they slurp all your designs into their slop machines by default, and you have to go opt-out if you don't like them stealing your creative work…**all in a product which literally exists to aid creators**…makes me nauseous.

There are other design apps you can use! Really, there are!

#UX is like a jester.

The real role of the jester is to point out when the king is doing something stupid.

But tech execs thought that the jester's role was just to bring the bells and whistles. They created an environment of "polite failure," ignored the warnings, bolted #AI onto everything for no reason, and are now shocked by the backlash.

2016: Figma auto-saves your work.

2026: Figma auto-steals your work.

Figma admins, take a look at the setting that Figma silently opted your entire team into, and think about whether the labor of your designers should be handed away for free, just so Figma can turn around and pitch AI powered layout creation to product managers.

We live in an absurd time when, instead of asking the rich to live on less, we keep people poor, we attack the disabled, children, immigrants and the elderly, we promote racism, we enable warmongers and we screw the planet.
