Buen intento para subirte la h de cara a pedirte la acreditación. Yo ya lo intenté en su día y no coló, pero como no cuesta nada, venga. A ver si sube el conteo.

No, no entendemos las referencias a Los Simpsons, eres un viejo boomer.

¿Qué es eso de Juego de Tronos? ¿Un wargame?

Coño, sí, me suena "Iron Maiden". ¡Eso lo escuchaba mi abuelo!

Estas cosas a mí me sirven. Doy clase a gente bastante mayor que eso, de 18-20 años, pero me cuesta horrores encontrar referencias comunes (tipo películas o series), o ejemplos que la clase entienda y que todos encuentren graciosos. Me siento como si fuera de otro planeta 😆

Durante mucho tiempo me encontré con voluntarios que recogían firmas para la ILP antitaurina: en todas partes, en cualquier acto. Ha sido un trabajo ímprobo que no merecía este final. Es un desprecio democrático. Luego, que si la ultraderecha la traen otros.

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

📊 Language & reading skills form a continuum—not two groups of “typical” vs “disordered”

Conditions like dyslexia or developmental language disorder (DLD) reflect the lower end of normal variation in these skills, not distinct categories

🖼️ continuous distribution of ability, with cut-offs shown

Language and reading skills are normally distributed.
Children in the lower tail may meet criteria for dyslexia or developmental language disorder (DLD).
Percentile scores (top) and standard-deviation cut-offs (bottom) show typical thresholds (e.g., bottom 7 % or < –1.5 SD).

🧩Learning to talk & read isn’t just about effort or teaching—it’s shaped by biology, experience & context

🧠Our new review links genetics, neuroscience, psychology & education to show why some children find language or reading easier.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Se inventó primero la lata (1815) y luego el abrelatas (1855)

Obviamente las primeras latas llevaban 40 años esperando y al abrirlas habían caducado

Por eso no desesperes si has tenido una idea que parece una chorrada.
