El meu fill (5é) està fent la hidroesfera i això és el que els han donat com a dossier. Trec foc pels queixals. Abandonar els llibres de text va ser un error No hi ha ni un puto nom de riu bé No sap escriure glacial Els va dir "té faltes perquè ho he fet amb gemini" AGHHHHGGHHHH

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

I’m sorry but “why is a lit review needed?” is a where the for-profit motive of trade book publishing meets the anti-humanist capitalist slop of the robots. Scholars do their work. The rest are charlatans.

🗣️"Rather, than lose the proverbial forest through the trees, researchers can ask more important questions, such as: why is a review needed, and where does it aim to take a field?" #AcWri #PhDchat

On the value organizing using your own brain: 🧵 For my PhD, I read a mountain of books and over 2,000 European printed and manuscript maps & atlases c.1450-1650 (and some older ones). I identified 200-ish maps/atlases with distinctive imagery of peoples of the Americas (not just stick figures). 1/

The process of organization is one of the strongest metamemory strategies. Cut that out, and you've cut out learning. As a teacher and cognitive psychologist I find this all so sad and frustrating and kind of incomprehensible.

Next week a crew from Barcelona will be dropping into a Helsinki that’s averaging 0°C and getting about six hours of daylight. Not out of masochism, but for a conference with dozens of intellectual historians — which, admittedly, isn’t that different. I’ll try to bring back a Rudolph on the way home

Look, this is an abomination, void of any grasp of humans or humanity. Kalshi should not exist (which is why there are lawsuits in 11 states against Kalshi for illegal gambling etc. this alone should spook investors 🤷‍♀️). But let's not forget: all venture capital is about making bets & wagers. 1/

The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

Croquetas a todas luces congeladas, chistorras y morcillas del Mercadona, bollo precocinado, huevos fritos mal hechos (yema rota, cuajada, puntilla tamaño enaguas). Y sin cubiertos porque se conoce que usar tenedores es de maricones. Tanta pasta para comer peor que un estudiante.

Due to Academia(.)edu licensing agreement, which permits the use of your likeness, voice, and publications in any manner they choose, I, like many others, have decided to leave the platform. You can now find my research on ResearchGate instead.

Thanks to the warnings by my colleague Titus Stahl (who is really well-versed in these things), I've just deleted my academia.edu account. Their new terms and conditions are horrible in terms of data use. If you're on that platform, reconsider, or at least read the new conditions carefully...

Been talking nonstop about this shameful episode for the past two days & this point needs to be underscored: It's the culmination of longstanding structural defects in our media, not simply the bad actions of bad actors. What happened to Jimmy Kimmel is a downstream manifestation of systemic probs:

Talked to Jim Rutenberg at the NYT about whether there were any historical precedents in the U.S. for Trump's frontal assault on our media, especially this kind of FCC intervention focused on silencing dissent, directly violating free speech, etc. Could think of none: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/b...
