New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Además del “¡Mestizaje!” Me recuerda también aquello de “voy a tocar con unos músicos de…¿Mali? ¿Bali? ¿Mali?…bueno, no sé”

Acabo de enterarme, todavía no sé la razón pero es desolador: Asad Haider ha fallecido. No le conocí personalmente pero admiraba sus ensayos. Su Mistaken Identity es una rigurosa crítica de las idpol desde la izda y la práctica militante honesta. Descanse en paz y fuerza.

La podredumbre moral de las élites económicas, políticas, tecnológicas y mediáticas es infinita. Es necesaria una refundación civilízatoria.

Nos ha dejado Asad Haider, una mente brillante, militante socialista y uno de los fundadores y editores de la revista Viewpoint Magazine

Rest in Power 💔

This is so sad.

Let’s say you had the opportunity to assign college students *1* thing (article, video, podcast) to help them understand what edtech is, how it’s funded, who benefits from it, and how it preys on their data. What hits these bases in a comprehensive, up-to-date, and powerful way?

Total success to the first college/university that pledges to be AI-free and brand it as an opportunity to receive a real education.

academic layoffs are not gonna be for culture war reasons alone…

Definitive proof Humanities are more important than ever.

This seems incredible to read, as it could come straight out of an Orbán 2015-16 speech, but this has actually been a dominant position within the broader U.S. Right for decades. 🧵

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

A cultural and conceptual map of the last intense decade in Spain and its many political experiments and experiences: social movements, municipalist politics, progressive populism, far right reactions. In Spanish but hopefully some time soon in English.

In addition to rum, moonshine and peanut butter whiskey, this raccoon at a Virginia liquor store also got into some vodka and eggnog. If you have not tried it, peanut butter whiskey “is excellent,” a PR manager for the store said. The raccoon apparently agreed. trib.al/XurZIQv

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."
