Me acabo de acordar de nuevo de cuando el australiano me preguntó cuándo era nuestro Día de la Independencia. Lo miré muy seria y le dije: «There's no Spanish Independence Day. We were an empire. Other countries celebrate they got independence from us.»

Gracias a todas las personas que han expuesto su vida viajando en la flotilla. Que se vayan a la mierda todos los periodistas y tertulianos de medios subvencionados que han tenido los cojonazos de insultarles.

El K-pop es el penúltimo clavo en el ataúd de la hegemonía cultural yanki. Perdieron los cómics, los videojuegos, la ropa, la comida...ahora la música.

NEVER grade without using a rubric. Even a quick one speeds the process a LOT & it makes scores more consistent. Rubrics come in many flavors and are infinitely customizable. Lots of examples at lsa.umich.edu/sweetland/in... !

The gender gap in radical right support isn’t about women versus men, it’s about sexism. Do not miss this great piece of @evaanduiza.bsky.social @gricoc.bsky.social. The insights go well beyond Spain.
