They open and close you
Then they talk like they know you
They don't know you

So why does it come as such a shock?
To know you really have no one
Only a river of changing faces
Looking for an ocean

Surfrider: “Nature-Based Solutions Prevailed” During Hurricane Erin
Despite all of our collective science-based methods to stave off erosion and other hurricane-wrought “damage” to our coastlines, nature’s methods proved the soundest during the Category 5 storm.

If you liked Guest et al.’s arguments, you might also be interested in the paper we wrote with @javisamo.bsky.social et al. a year ago about the official report from the Spanish Association of University Deans on the use of AI (in Spanish, accepted for publication): papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Los fanboys escriben dos tipos de columnas: las que describen el futuro que tendremos gracias a la IA y las que explican la IA de hoy. Unas están llenas de exageraciones, disparates y delirios religiosos. Las otras dicen lo mismo pero ambientando la historia en el futuro en vez de en el presente.

Ezra Klein isn’t theorizing Charlie Kirk. He is theorizing politics. And he is saying that Charlie Kirk’s brand of white supremacy was a good way of doing politics.

I hope you all recognize now that Ezra is a total fucking ghoul

Escuela pública, siempre. Mis padres. Mi hermana y yo. Mis hijas.
Como veo que hay que explicar de nuevo la importancia de la educación pública y el ejemplo que tienen que dar ciertos políticos , me voy a citar a mí misma con una cosa que publiqué hace la friolera de sus años y medio.

Por qué ya no defendemos la educación pública
La educación debe enfocarse siempre al bien común, no a intereses particulares, y las escuelas deben ser comunidades solidarias que ayuden a corregir las desigualdades, no solo centros para traspasar ...

Milei loses big time by 13 points but promises to continue the austerity measures that “lifted 12 million people out of poverty”, which is absurd unless one accepts the statistical fictions of a sociopathic government led by a market fundamentalist.

Sube el dolar y como el entorno de Milei espera perder las elecciones del domingo que viene, el gobierno interviene para que evitar suba. Hace de “mano invisible” para que el mercado se “autoregule”, los giles sigan con su mitología y ellos destruyéndolo todo. www.eldiarioar.com/economia/gob...

Aristotle, Dreyfus, Murdoch, and Varela approve this message.
Ethics classes can teach the content of various theories, and thereby impart knowledge and skills which are useful to ethical cognition. But they can't make someone care, they can't make someone good. It's a fundamental mistake re what university education can or should do to hope they'll do that.
