Joder, que parecemos nuevos. No todas las teorías de la conspiración son falsas. Hay ejemplos en la historia de conspiraciones reales. Si fuera tan fácil como decir "si parece una conspiración o si contradice datos oficiales, es falso", entonces no tendríamos el problemón que tenemos.

‘Dumpster fire’: Postmedia’s decade of pushing Canada’s politics to the right

Canada’s largest newspaper chain has amplified conservative grievance politics — creating fertile ground for MAGA-style ideas, Alberta separatism, and an increasingly polarized political landscape

The academic hiring system is simply not designed for candidates like me. It privileges a kind of performative intellectualism—the ability to stand at a whiteboard and extemporize about science as if you were some kind of 19th-century naturalist 😂 😂 😂 open.substack.com/pub/inprepar...

The Pangenome Is Not a Parts List

The pangenome is the total genetic repertoire of a group of organisms. It is a property of populations, maintained by evolutionary processes.

At this year's music Pedagogy into Practice conference at UBC, I attended a keynote address on the subject of integrating AI into music education, from José Antonio Bowen. It was the most disappointed I have ever been during a keynote talk. At times, it was stomach-churning. Thread:

📚 Hubo un momento en España en el que avanzar era posible. En pocos años se construyeron miles de escuelas, se mejoraron las condiciones de las y los jornaleros y las mujeres dejaron de ser tratadas como menores. Feliz 14 de abril.

Spaceflight is inherently interesting of course but they can't keep doing the same thing if they expect to grow viewership. There should be a betrayal arc. At a pivotal moment one of the astronauts should be revealed to be evil

Best NASA scene ever!

over at the newsletter I wrote about how Tim Cook is an embarrassing coward

Tim Cook Is An Embarrassing Coward

Tim Cook represents a soulless, rudderless, contrition unburdened by consistent ethics or any sort of overt mortal compass, desperate to delude you that fascism can be a reasonable partner open to me...

Plato too woke for Texas

From an email to one of our faculty members.... Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

Deploying and testing third-party technology products on citizens through mandatory processes that are neither transparent nor accountable also risks producing inequalities and further severing trust in public institutions, writes Matt Malone. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/31/o...

Canada's dependency on professional services firms is scandalous

Among the federal government's expenditures, one category of the 2024-25 Public Accounts stands out in particular.

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again? My giant acrylamide sequencing gels were pretty good

Charlotte Lydia Riley@lottelydia.bsky.social · 8mo ago

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again? Archival research feels like it’s full of these, but then there’s always one throwback archive with a microfiche machine or a paper catalogue (or, indeed: NARA)

#OtD 6 Dec 1928 the banana massacre took place in Ciénaga, Colombia, when soldiers killed up to 2000 striking workers of the United Fruit Co., and their wives and children, who were fighting for one day off per week and pay in money rather than coupons stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1059...
