Lo de María Corina Machado regalando la medalla del Nobel de la Paz a Trump es el acto de rastrerismo político más bochornoso que se haya visto en años. Un acto que no sirve para nada más que alimentar la megalomanía de ese desquiciado que Disparos Unidos tiene por presidente.

Whatta space oddity!

Why has nobody made a sticker wrap for the Mac Studio that turns it into a Big Mac?

Wow. Bluesky has just welcomed and verified ICE.

For anyone still thinking Bsky is a real alternative to Twitter: No, it's not.

Mastodon is. Bsky is just X at its infancy.

History is making fun of us

"As the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia marks its 25th anniversary this month, the academic community must confront an uncomfortable truth: we have systematically failed our greatest knowledge commons." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00075-0

@RickiTarr As a pancreatic cancer patient I can’t tell you how intriguing I find the possibility of a cure and how frustrating it is that these ideologues (idiotlogues) are viciously obstructing these programs.

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

magical memories of better times.

The thing about several decades of neoliberal politics is that it was absolutely chock full of shit.

The difference now is that right wing governments are not even pretending to be not full of shit. They’re going “We know you know we’re full of shit. If you point this out too prominently we’ll shoot or imprison you.”

Going back to only *pretending* not to be full of shit is not an option

Corporations: we have doubled increased productivity per worker, through automation.

Workers: so we can have double the wages?

Corporations: no, we will double the profits. Our shareholders will get f and our genius owner will have twice as many billions.

Workers: but at least goods and services will be cheaper, right?

Corporations: No. Inflation will magically increase prices, nothing to do with us. Mysteriously, our profits went up even more and our genius owner is even richer!

When I was a lad, back in the days of Ford and Reagan, Republicans constantly told us that having to carry proof of citizenship was the kind of thing the Nazis and Soviets and other totalitarian regimes did.

Welp.

Knut Hamsun, a Norwegian writer, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920.

In 1943, he sent Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister) his Nobel Prize medal as a gift.

A prime example of stenography normalizing and opening the Overton window: This dangerous insanity is swallowed whole from the dictator as if it were just him "weighing" policy. No! It is imperialistic fascism. Greenland and Venezuela are the Rhineland and Sudetenland. Report with history and context, otherwise it is not journalism. It is complicity.

Sospecho que lo que pasa aquí es que los americanos de cierta época y edad tenían fortisimamente condicionado y codificado el lenguaje para hablar de estas cosas. Hablar de los problemas del capitalismo es sinónimo de arremeter contra lo que les han hecho creer que son los fundamentos más vitales de su pais, el nucleo espiritual, the american way.
Así que saben que hay algo mal, pero le echan la culpa a la postmodernidad, a la ciencia, a lo que sea, menos mirar la viga en el ojo propio.
