Hoy se cumple un año del Tiny Desk viral de Ca7riel y Paco Amoroso. Un buen momento para darle play, porque es gloria bendita (e imposible no volver a él una y otra vez 🔁).

“Now we have no more cookies to eat,” said Toad sadly. “Not even one.”

“Yes,” said Frog, “but we have lots and lots of will power.”

“You may keep it all, Frog,” said Toad. “I am going home now to bake a cake.”

A cartoon from my new book, 'Physics for Cats'. Out next week: www.tomgauld.com

A scientist stands in front of an enormous contraption
"I created this device to test my theory that our entire reality is a simulation, but the readings I'm
getting suggest something much worse"

"What?" Asks a second scientist.
"We're living in a cartoon!" Says the first.
"Does it at least have a good punchline?" says the second.
The fiorst scientist carefully looks over the data, then eventually replies "Nope"

What you think your brain is supposed to do

A person is having a conversation with their brain floating in space. The person says “hello friend your job is to keep me happy“ the brain replies “nah. my job is to keep you safe from real and imagined threats“ in the final panel. The person is in bed saying to themselves “I’m home it’s bedtime. I am totally safe”. The brain replies “OK, but what if… “

Trying to circumvent social media guidelines is changing our relationship to language – so what does it mean to engage with political ideas through platforms that are owned by the ultra-rich and algorithms that reward self-censorship?

Before the rise of Instagram & TikTok, in the early 2000’s it was MySpace. Tom was your default friend. His profile is one of the few that’s changed with the times, even as MySpace faded.

Amar es como desayunar en condiciones: si no hay cantidad, intención, disfrute y hasta una pizca de dar vergüenza, no te quedas bien 🥞

Dicen que el amor sólo con amor se paga, pero hay gente que, cuando la quieres, te trata mal. Mi tesis más generosa es que lo hacen porque no te creen. Hoy escribo sobre el amor y los que lo rehuyen. Con guiños a mi poeta favorito. En @elpais.com elpais.com/opinion/2025...

El mal querer

Tengo un truco para detectar a la gente que se odia a sí misma: son los que te tratan mal cuando tú los tratas bien

Muy mala organización por parte de quienes montan la Comic Con de Málaga. Deberían haber avisado más claramente de que la tablet sólo es gratuita si descargas la app desde este video.
