The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Va un hilo de fotos históricas, aprovechando la jornada de hoy.

La proclamación de la II República en Salamanca, 14 de abril de 1931.

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.

Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.

What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.

Yeah, like Europe offered a wealth of academic job opportunities and non-precarious working conditions to scientists.

Cocinar en casa es cada vez más un acto de resistencia frente a la codicia de los grandes empresarios. Pocas cosas más nefastas que dejar en sus manos la preparación de todas nuestras comidas.

The dismantling of USAID has brought immense harm to its beneficiaries, writes Peter Wehner. "Patients have been told to leave refugee hospitals in Thailand. Soup kitchens that feed hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan have been closed."

"This epistemic chaos wasn't an accident—it was a crucial tactic in undermining democracy itself. [...] political legitimacy depended on the existence of a shared reality. Break that consensus, and democracy becomes impossible." www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Durante años me he sentido en culpa por no donar a @wikipedia.bsky.social. Qué mejor momento que este para redimirme.

Ayuso renuncia a 169 millones, el equivalente de mil profesores, para unas universidades al borde de la quiebra. Es un proyecto trumpista de destrucción de la educación superior. Ayuso es la versión institucional de Llados: odian la universidad.
