My family tech support season has begun.

For elderly people, modern tech is brutal: websites keep breaking password managers (multi-step SSO forms, JS overload, domain changes). Native apps aren't any better.

"Forgot password?" links almost always bypass password managers. The PW manager ends up with an outdated password, breaking trust in the solution, and even gets accounts locked for failed login attempts.

Remember how the President said "Quiet, piggy" to a female journalist?

In response, any time he goes to speak, I'd love to see a crowd full of people respond with loud snorts & oinks.

Here's the ad that Trump doesn't want the American public to see and caused him to back out of trade talks with Canada.

Me parece increíble poder ver un vídeo así. La ATP sintasa convirtiendo el gradiente de protones en energía mecánica para sintetizar ATP. Es literalmente un motor.

A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

"Frente a las atrocidades que Israel está cometiendo en Gaza, el nuevo rectorado de la Universidad del País Vasco prometió no tener acuerdos con empresas cómplices del genocidio, lo que no se corresponde con la realidad."

🇫🇷‼️ Two men and one woman were detained in France on suspicion of espionage and attempts to influence public opinion in favor of Russia, - DW

The arrests were part of an ongoing investigation into the French-Russian organization SOS Donbass.

Para los racistas (y VOX), "negros y musulmanes" son criminales.

Pero en la lista de los 10 más buscados por la policía española:
9 son nacidos en España y uno en la UE. Todos hombres y blancos.

Donde sí encontramos más personas extranjeras...es en los curros más precarios.

Hoy es 26 de noviembre. En tal día como hoy, pero hace 32 años, en 1993, estaba todo agobiado porque se inauguraba oficialmente el Planetario de Pamplona. .El @pamplonetario que habíamos creado con un equipo de gente estupenda y llena de ilusión por contar historias del cielo, por hablar de ciencia en la plaza pública, por traer la cultura y el debate a Navarra, se ponía de largo con la presencia de las autoridades.

Ahora, 32 años después, no queda nadie de ese equipo en el centro, que está cerrado y vete a saber cuándo lo abren. Ahora subcontratan actividades para cubrir el expediente pero ese motor cultural que nos llenó de ilusiones no existe, ni parece que vaya a volver nunca. Ya no hay proyecto propio, ni gente que lo lleve adelante. Y eso es un robo que se nos ha hecho a toda la ciudadanía navarra.

Feliz triste cumple, Pamplonetario. Rescato un texto que escribí hace dos años sobre "El Planetario de Pamplona: 30 años de cultura científica en Navarra" para la revista Príncipe de Viana (no. 285 , 2023)
https://revistas.navarra.es/index.php/PV/article/view/2683/2494

(No sabía entonces que luego acabaría súbitamente fuera, que se iba a incendiar después ni que el proyecto que habíamos creado se iba a desmantelar así sin ningún reconocimiento ni información)

Want to know what climate change will look like?

The drought in Tehran has gotten so bad that people are seriously talking about evacuating the city!

"Tehran — the richest city of Iran, the most politically powerful city with more than 15 million in the metropolitan — is facing day zero in a few days or a few weeks," said Kaveh Madani, director of the United Nations University's Institute for Water, Environment and Health.

"Day zero" means NO WATER.

All of Iran is in a drought — the worst in nearly 60 years. Tehran has had no rain at all since the start of September, and no rainfall is expected for the foreseeable future.

The city depends on five major reservoirs for its water: Lar, Latyan, Amir Kabir, Mamlu and Talegan. Lar Dam is at only 2% of its capacity, while Latyan is 9% full. Amir Kabir, one of the most important dams for Tehran, is 11% full. Mamlu reservoir is only 1% full. Only Taleqan remains above one-third.

Right now the incompetent government is *talking* about rationing — but water pressure is already down to zero at night in many neighborhoods. Young Tehranis are tracking water pressure with crowd-sourced maps, shading parts of the city in red to show almost constant outages. Meanwhile, some rich neighborhoods still fill their swimming pools.

I'm not saying this drought is solely due to climate change, nor that climate change will cause droughts everywhere. But this is the sort of thing we should expect: prolonged droughts in some areas, leading eventually to mass migrations.

Hey, have you heard about the "Sweet Track"?

It's this ancient wooden walkway discovered in the British Isles that's over 5,800 years old. Can you believe it? It's actually the second oldest timber trackway they've found in the area.

This cool pathway was built to help people cross the marshy terrain back in the Neolithic days. The way it’s been preserved really shows how resourceful our early ancestors were.
