Hace 13 años fui despedido de @elpais.com por un chiste que mencionaba el holocausto. El director escribió "con las expresiones utilizadas en esta ocasión, una tragedia que costó la vida a millones de personas, NO SE PUEDEN MANTENER AMBIGÜEDADES".

My dog likes to spend the day staring out of the window for stuff to bark at. That’s his version of doomscrolling, isn’t it?

Welcome to the class of Gaslighting 101. Take notes, it's a four-year course.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community: The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies. I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

My @scishow.bsky.social buddies will appreciate this one.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

When will POC and Jewish voters for Trump realize that Nazis really don't like them? I'm asking based on the Nazi salute the co-president, Elon Musk, just did.

Elon just did a sieg heil during his speech.

ELON DID A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE AND THAT IS NOT FUCKING OK

Elon knew exactly what he was doing. He knew what the reaction would be. He's laughing about it. He's a troll.

Decided to go snowboarding today and not pay any attention to the inauguration. Come back online to find out Elon did a full on Nazi salute twice. Feeling like I should have stayed on the mountain.

Perplexity AI submitted a bid to TikTok parent ByteDance to merge with its US operations and create a new entity.

Hahahaha o rednote

From @theathletic.bsky.social: The world’s No. 1 chess player Magnus Carlsen will return to the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in New York after initially withdrawing as he refused to change out of a pair of jeans. nyti.ms/4206qpH

incredible things continue to occur among the nationalist populist right

H5N1 is showing signs of adapting to humans with recent mutations (A134V, N182K, E186D) enhancing its ability to bind to human-like α2-6 receptors in the upper respiratory tract. This raises serious concerns about the virus’s potential to become more transmissible among humans.

I’m not in a very charitable mood with them either, to tell the truth.

lol this MAGA meltdown that began with H1B visas is so funny jajajaja They finally figured tech bros like Elon weren’t interested in them, just power to get away with anything

The MAGA twitter meltdown is right now so funny jajajajaja it was obvious this was going to happen, I didn’t expect it to happen this fast

And now, I will take you to one of the bookstores in Kyiv. I want you to see how beautiful Kyiv is.

Feliz Navidad a todos

WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD. GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility. Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

BREAKING: Nancy Mace is in intensive care after a cashier at Target wished her a “Happy Holidays” instead of a “Merry Christmas.” Thoughts and prayers for a possible, eventual recovery.

No

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center. How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down? How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

700 follows till I hit 400,000 on Bluesky, just 100k less than what I used to have on the old app that turned to the dark side.

I know this is old news, but I am just incredulous you actually can't install Windows without a Microsoft account. Like, it's real. Usually, the sparks of techlash outrage are some easily overridden usability defaults, or reasonable theft or ATO protections. Not this one. Wow.

Thou shalt pay Amazon workers fairly, for they are as close as it gets to being Santa’s elves. Without them, Christmas doesn’t happen.

En dos días, el 25/12/16, hace 8 años que se fue un superdivaino al que aquí venero y echo de menos mogollón. Y que nos dejó, junto con Andrew Ridgeley uno de los himnos navideños por excelencia.

@franvazquez.bsky.social Me ayudas a difundir? Para mí es importante. Gracias

Yo no quiero sugerir ni alentar a nada, pero aquí (por ahora, hasta que el fascio se cargue la sanidad pública), nuestro equivalente a los que arruinan a la gente por temas de salud en yankilandia son los rentistas. No sé.

Syria the last 24 hours.

Syria…

Today is the final show of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour.

I’m not a Syrian refugee anymore. I’m Syrian. Just Syrian.

We keep getting messages saying climate change is a hoax and the world is flat. Is it 2024?!

What happened to this country?

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.” Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there

Can confirm.
