Gosh, so happy to have had great students this semester! Great ideas and pieces. I wish them the best in their journalism pathway. I'd be glad to have many of them as PhD students, but they are in love with journalism, so it's better to leave them to find their way.

Just arrived late to social media comments saying that Mamdani is “the Pedro Pascal of politics” and I couldn’t agree more 😆

One of the longest booings ever!

This first page reminds me so much of the Colombian media (and I'm not talking about the tabloids). One can create a transnational collection of cover pages with the Communist boogeyman. But some folks in Twitter are planning to print T-shirts 😉

Caramba, se nos fue un pensador de la comunicación mundial. Pocos quedan hoy como Mattelart. RIP

En Estados Unidos se habla español. Y bien claro.

Adding here that with Milei’s victory in Congress, he will be able to pass the labour reform bill, which proposes the extension to 12 working hours per day and allows companies to cut job contracts at any time without justification. Very bad news man.

I haven’t seen much coverage about Hurricane Melissa, maybe it’s because is not in the US. Scientists are suggesting to create new categories given the strong impacts they have and how climate change modifies hurricanes behaviours.

That's probably what regulation should address in other platform ecosystems. This, and unregulated advertising.

Not since 1935 has anyone experienced a storm like Melissa. Melissa's record wouldn't have happened without climate change, which made the hurricane's winds about 10 mph stronger, according to a rapid attribution analysis by Climate Central. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/10/cata...

Now, it’s not onlyTrump saying it. 😬

Qué bien que Byung-Chul Han reciba el Premio Princesa de Asturias

I'm just convinced that Maduro and Trump would rather be close friends than enemies. Their level of complexity in public communication is so similar.

I'm concerned with the current crisis between the US and Colombia, but Petro's quotes in the interview with Daniel Coronell are so good! 😆: "Trump has said that Colombia's government is out of control. Of course! It's out of his control". Hahahahah

Oh AWS is down so half the internet is also down.

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Dependency on large cloud provider. Outage at AWS has huge impact: Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, are all facing thousands of reports of outages. People have had card payments declined. Snapchat and Duolingo among major apps down in Amazon Web Services outage - www.bbc.com/news/live/c5...

This is an absolutely amazing piece of work - the ABC spent five years (!) working on this interactive feature that brings together First Nations oral histories spanning 65,000 years www.abc.net.au/news/deeptim...

It’s true, but it also gives so much oxygen to the Colombian far right against Petro. It’s like 50/50.

Returning to the history of interventionism and toppling governments: Trump Administration Authorizes Covert C.I.A. Action in Venezuela

Apparently, it is not only happening in the UK but everywhere. Although MTV was only a shadow of what it once was in the eighties and nineties, the shutdown of most channels marks the end of an era. www.bbc.com/news/article...

😢 RIP Diane Keaton

The Nobel *Peace* Prize winner is cool with murdering civilians on boats

“She has also touted an economic plan to American and other investors” for the democratic transition. It sounds familiar.

Lo que faltaba!

Looking forward to watching this

Man… following the Stranger Things metaphors, one wakes up everyday in The Upside Down world. But at the end of the day, the Peace prize, in particular, is the less prestigious one indeed. Should we remember Kissinger’s Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 precisely the year of the Chilean coup d’etat?

The Nobel Peace Prize, Maria Corina Machado, dedicated the prize to…Trump “for his decisive support to Venezuela” So there you go!

The dilemma of AI

There is no need to watch horror movies this October. With the daily news is enough.

Breaking News: Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, died at 91. Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” nyti.ms/42kpGxt

That’s good news!

Claudia Cardinale, an actress who brought an ethereal allure to 1960s world cinema, died Tuesday in Nemours, France, outside Paris. She was 87.

The best article I’ve read on the medical misinformation about Tylenol and autism. Fevers and sickness can be a risk factor, and left untreated, it could make matters worse. Tylenol is a red herring that could be reducing the damage caused by the fevers. RFK is wrong. Congress should remove him.

Yeah, the speech was memorable

Removing critical political satire was just the tip of the iceberg.

That was a question that hit the spot 🎯 Nice one!

I had a lot of fun chatting with Klaus (@klaus.bsky.social) about The Discursive-Digital Link. You can listen to the episode on the Read Them Sideways podcast.

😮 The real centennials!

Yep, today Twitter or X or whatever is not an "echo chamber" but an echo platform. Quite the reason a few of us stopped posting, removed our accounts, or only became observers. Simply unbelievable.
