Annual reminder that without literary translators, most Nobel Prize-winning authors couldn’t be read by the committee/readers, so celebrate them too. Congrats @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social et al! This isn’t taking away from the author, it’s adding recognition of the miracle/labour/skill of translation.

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

"Japan's education ministry proposed Wednesday the establishment of five-year integrated university programs combining undergraduate and postgraduate studies, intended to encourage more students to pursue further education by shortening the total study period."

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity

Por favor, demanden a esas empresas y háganlas arrodillarse ante la amenaza de quiebra.

I’m glad to share that the English version of my article in Phenomenal World is now online. Why would a progressive government promote a reform designed around a typically neoliberal framework? Read the article in the following link: www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the...

La situación es más grave de lo habitual pero el texto cae en lo de siempre: reducir «innovación» a «número de solicitudes de patentes» y mencionar de pasada que no hay forma de que un país sin industria («sector productivo») emplee a tantos dueños de Ph. D. www.elespectador.com/educacion/op...

Carole & Tuesday la tenía clara.

Remember how the Trump administration raged about "transgender mice" because of studies involving transgenic mice? Well, the woman who just won the Nobel Prize in Medicine wrote her thesis using transgenic mice.

According to Gearoid Reidy, Kishida is a "center-left figure"??

Currently in Shibuya where a BIG anti-genocide demo is about to take place. Protest is set to start in 20 minutes, but there are already easily 100~200 (maybe more?) people gathered here.

I enjoy how people with lists called "leftist pigs who deserve helicopter rides" are ignored so the devs can focus on what's *really* important, defending digital cancer

A la secta MAGA le queda grande aprender cualquier lengua extranjera. Es el culto a la ignorancia y a la desidia. Celebran todos los enemigos de EUA, empezando por China y ruZia. Supongo que hasta la «inteligencia» gringa debe estar perpleja pero calladita.

Gretica tiene alborotado al facherío y al incelerío, tanto el MAGA como a los vírgenes violaalmohadas colombianos. Me encanta.

Esta película terminará siendo anécdota:

Adivinen cuál grancolombiano aparece mencionado en una línea de investigación derivada de ese caso.

“The Showa Emperor Repeatedly Advocated For The Necessity Of Rearmament”: I interviewed Asahi journalist Ryuichi Kitano about his new book on Hirohito: apjjf.org/2025/10/mcne...

"[Gerald Curtis, professor emeritus of political science at Columbia University] said Takaichi's victory is 'going to hasten the decline and the eventual collapse of the LDP.'" "Curtis does not expect much to be accomplished by Takaichi as prime minister."

Las escuelas de comunicación en Colombia están en mora de estudiar los efectos nocivos de la propaganda del Kremlin (hoy no exclusiva de pasquines del Estado ruZo sino destilada con argumento de autoridad en canales de YouTube de «geopolítica») en los consumidores, incluidas personas con Ph. D.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

"Former economic security minister Sanae Takaichi leveraged hidden motives to rake in votes to win the runoff of Saturday’s Liberal Democratic Party presidential election."

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it. Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes. He's now charged with murder.

No va a pasar nunca pero alguien debería investigar qué tan cierto es que el doble agente Marc*s Peck*l tiene el poder suficiente para que las élites bogotanas y mediáticas estén arrodilladas a Netany*hu, o si es simplemente un peón de alguien más poderoso.

If you're wondering why they don't go to court with their high paid lawyers for an easy win, it's because this allows Google to bribe Trump. All the big players are way over their skis on AI investment and are sure they will need a bailout at some point. It's 2009 but for tech instead of housing

really respect lewis hamilton for taking care of his dog. i feel like a lot of celebrities treat animals as playthings or accessories. or they buy an expensive breed and treat it as a status symbol. but he seemingly cared about his dog like a member of his family.

Lenin Riefenstahl had a scheduled visit to Hollywood, but the Nazis did Kristallnacht the week befofe her trip, so everyone boycotted her EXCEPT WALT, who gave her a whole day long tour of his studio (although he wouldn't show her new work because the projectionists might realize what was happening)

People acting like Disney being fascist is new should go back and read the company’s history. Disney himself was a Nazi-sympathizer and only got into the US propaganda film game because he was also a staunch Nationalist. Before that he literally hosted dinner parties for Nazis.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

As a reminder, land areas (where we live) are warming around twice as fast as over the oceans. Subsequently, most of us are 'feeling' temperatures rising faster than the global mean record. Graphic from zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

If you're reading court documents and the first thing you think of is that the evidence sounds too much like a television show you once watched, you're the one who watched too much TV.

Trump’s America: where tax shelters get a pass, but working families get the bill.

Me postulé a un cargo de instructor de inglés (algo que nunca he hecho en la vida pero que siento que podría hacer) y tenía que pasar con 80/100 una prueba escrita solo para comenzar (luego vendría otra). Saqué 79. Tengo mucha rabia conmigo mismo. No voy a conseguir empleo nunca a este paso.

“American citizens of Hispanic descent in Los Angeles—especially people who speak with an accent or work as manual laborers—…risk being stopped and questioned whenever they go out. They may see it as a necessary precaution to always carry documents with them in a way that other Americans need not.”
