Deutsche Welle ha publicado esta nota sobre el alza del precio de los combustibles y la protesta social en América Latina. El medio recoge mis impresiones al respecto. www.dw.com/es/combustib...

Combustibles caros encienden el malestar en América Latina

Bolivia eliminó el subsidio al diésel, Chile vivió su "bencinazo" y Honduras registra bloqueos. ¿Pueden hacer algo los gobiernos para enfrentar este problema?

The more they wage cultural wars against migrants and people of colour, the less they can actually address bread and butter issues such as stagnating wages, housing affordability or gas prices. Distraction. Scapegoat.

La intensidad de la retórica de guerra cultura es directamente proporcional a la imposibilidad de la extrema derecha de resolver los problemas materiales de las clases populares (precio combustible, salarios, vivienda) elpais.com/educacion/20...

As usual, science fiction has been far better at anticipating possible futures, now becoming realities, than the entire toolkit of the social and political sciences. From Terminator, where machines wage a war of extermination against humans, to Dune, where societies ban AI in order to survive.

How contemporary academic structures constrain scientific creativity and hold back early-career researchers. Great article that addresses key systemic problems of contemporary academia: costs of precarity, power asymmetries, exploitation and predatory behavior, etc. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dos vetas del argumentario de la ultra derecha: - empatar. Cualquier cosa que nos les gusta, sea plurinacionalidad, derechos reproductivos, es iliberal. Manana las 40 horas o el sueldo mínimo serán iliberales. - victimizarse agitando tension populista. Kast es blanco de la "elite del comentariado"

The more scientific societies ask us for "rising stars", the more I believe we should rather nominate the sinking ones.

Israel’s National Security Minister made this AI video featuring himself. It’s titled “we promised - we delivered”. How to describe this video?

Let me put it this way: senior academics who have shaped their disciplines and departments, yet have never hired a non-white academic into a position that matters, now pose as paladins of racial equality and fair hiring. That is the contradiction we need to contest. Pointing to others is distraction

Activists with broad experience in digital campaigning in Europe, Latin America and other world regions, should consider applying to these positions!

Some of the richest people in the world want a racial caste system, and they want scholarly backing for that in the form of racist pseudoscience. And a lot of ostensibly non racist people quietly agree, and don’t like to see those who peddle that pseudoscience excluded from mainstream institutions.

It is upsetting to see academics who would never have hired Jason Arday, and who have done very little to address racism and other forms of discrimination in academia, including those related to class and elite privilege, now portraying themselves as paladins of racial justice.

Vi La Odisea ayer, y la encontré bien entretenida. Mantiene la tensión en sus largas 3 horas, y me importa un pepino que la versión de Nolan no sea idéntica a la obra original. Cosas random: -Charlize Theron como diosa, gran acierto. -ligero crossover con Bourne Identity

The political project of Israel's government is the elimination of Palestinians from Gaza (and eventually between the river and sea). Their actions and words all point in that direction, and that has remained unchanged. Beyond the question of how you call it, we need to recognise it for what it is.
